Memories of The Royal Horticultural Society Gardens c1955, Wisley
Teenager to Retirement!
I would like to dedicate this photo to my Mum, Sue Dykes who has worked in the restaurant at RHS Wisley Gardens since the age of 15! Starting with part time seasonal work as a waitress to full-time baking and is due to retire next year. Sue is well known for her delicious cakes and even has her own recipe cards which you can pick up at the cafeteria in Wisley Gardens. My great grandad was also employed at RHS Wisley Gardens as the Head Gardener in the 1950's I believe and he and my gran used to live in a cottage in the grounds.

I have just found that my family on my grandmother's side came from Wisley. Some lived Ripley, Byfleet, and Ockham, but most Wisley. 1841 1851 records onwards. Their name Woodger worked Park Farm.Pond Farm. The Hut. Wisley Lane. Wisley Farm. Wisley Common. There was a James 1786 Ripley. John 1791 Ripley. And a Richard 1775 West Horsley. All worked on farms and in service. Great-grandmother, name Emily, same as my grandmother's. They were a large family. Yours, Ronald Stanley, Adelaide, South Australia.
Woolgar/Woolger''s of Surrey.
I have been researching my family for the past 15 years and have found that my family came from, Wisley, Ockham & West Horsley. My 3rd Great Grandfather William Woolgar/er was an agricultural labourer and lived at Old Pond Farmhouse with his wife Sarah Maskell & family. One of the son being my 2nd Great Grandfather George Woolger who married Emma Louise Maskell. We are a very large family and still live in and around Wisley. I will be revisiting Wisley & Ockham in the spring 2012 and can't wait to find out more about my family’s history. Yours, Keith Woolger
Wisley
I lived at Church Farm, Wisley and loved it, as the country was nice, and I liked being able to play in the fields and on the farm, and collecting eggs. I also went to Wisley church on Christmas Day to go to communion after making comfirmation on 22nd December 1955.
