Northamptonshire memories

My Family

I have traced my family back to Yelvertoft in the mid 1700's.  My family name is York and we are descendants of Thomas York who married Elizabeth Perkins in the late 1700's in Yelvertoft.

If you can help me go further back or are related in any way please contact me.

2 Rugby Road, Lilbourne

This was the first house my husband and I bought together - we got married in it, and had our first daughter there. We stayed until 2002 - a gorgeous cottage, which we sadly outgrew.

First School

My memories of Long Buckby are good ones, of being at the infant school. Teachers were Miss Garlick, Miss Shefield and Miss Cooke. The fun we had playing kiss chase around the playground, making new friends and learning to read and write. People will know me as Fay Hart. How I wish I could go back to those days when we did not have a care in the world.

Gathering Damsons

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.

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.
