Herefordshire memories
Whitney Church
Both my father and mother are buried at Whitney Churchyard. Father in 1969, Mother in 1999.
Born Here
I was born in Moccas at Castle Cottage. My grandmother lived at the common where, on her death I moved with my parents to the common. My father and his father put the fencing around Moccas Park which some of it still remains today.
Tyberton
While trying to follow up on my family history, I called into the Church and looked around the gravestones and was surprised to find my Great Grandfather and great Grandmother's final resting place. The stone was a bit worn by time but the names and dates were clear. I decided to go back some months later and had taken a special solvent to clean the stone which I knew would not damage the stone.
A few years ago I called there again and the old stone stood out amongst the others.
I felt proud that even though I never knew them, I did my little bit to keep their resting place tidy.
Research - 1700s
I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else you could tell me about Sarnesfield. Or where I could obtain this information.
This is for a story I am writing and Sarnesfield is the place the characters in my story lived in the 1700s.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

My Father George Crump Was Born in Lucton in 1914
I would love to here from anyone who may know of the Crump Family from Lucton in the 1900s. My father was George Crump who was born there. My Grandfather was Richard George Crump also born in Lucton, and my Gret Great Grandfather Richard Crump 1868 was also born there. I have just discovered my GG Grandfather 1808 was also born there. I think thats enough for now !!!.
Many thanks for reading this. My name is Lee (nee Crump) and we (mother father and myself) came to Australia in 1967 from Birmingham UK. I now live in Brisbane Queensland Australia, my father passed away in 2003. My mother is now 94.
Before School
Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond. My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her. Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).
On the way home we used to collect paraffin from Dowlings (where Tom Bounds is now) and sweets from Kate Teagle in Church Street (where Jane's sewing is now).
How I would love to be able to squeeze into the photo and have a nostalgic look around. Happy days.
