Gathering Damsons

The Village c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember going to Welton, with my mother and father, on their motorbike & sidecar, to pick damsons, to make jam, at a Robbins relative that lived in Welton. As far as I have been able to learn, Robbins lived and farmed in Welton since the seventeenth century. I would love to find the house where I went those many years ago.

Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

John, Jean and Paul Cooper moved to 9 Churchill Road in March 1964. Cost of property (new) £3,400.00.  Paul was aged 3 years and 6months.  Len and Cis Richardson and Sarah, moved in approx. 6 months to No 11. Sarah was born on the same day as Paul. The White Horse was a real village pub, with music on Saturday night. The landlady played the piano. Miss Burrows was the school Head Teacher and she also taught the Sunday School. The village cricket team played on the field at the rear of Welton Place (now demolished).

Harrisons

My mother was Irene Harrison who was raised by her aunt Eve Forster in the cottage to the left of the White Horse, her uncles (possibly older cousins) Tom and Bill Harrison ran the blacksmiths on the village green and delivered milk from Church? Farm, it came up the hill in a churn on a handcart and was ladled into billy cans hanging on the pub railings, it was my job to hang out and collect the billy can. I can remember the little library between the pub and the church and the shop and post office on the corner to the left of the school.

As Far as I Can Ascertain my Family Originated Here, And I Would Appreciate Any History of Weltons

My name is Amy Welton. I live in WV, USA. My family as far as I can tell came from this place. The name may have been de Whelton originally. My direct ancestor is John Welton who came to this country in the early 1700s. Any information anyone has concerning the history of either the family or the place Welton would be greatly appreciated.

The Paddock

I remember Paul Cooper, I used to stand at bus stop with him, he had younger siblings Kym and ?????.
