My Family From Sloley
Hi, my name is Mel and my grandad was the landlord of the Maid's Head in Sloley in 1955, his name was Alfred Faulkes. If anyone has pictures of him (my father is Alfred and Rose's son Brian) it would be great to hear, as I am doing my family tree.
Thanks

I was born in a farm estate cottage amongst the fields at Westwick. My father had been born in 1919 just up the road on the edge of Swanton in a small cottage , two up,two down , his father had lost a leg in the great war and had been set up as a shoe maker there ,during the fifties we had moved away but even now i think of that little house where my grand mother lived,as home,Dad went to school in a small weatherboard place up near what the locals still called , the high road , or the turnpike, My father alledgedly shot the hands of the school clock, it made a change from poaching!

Looking For Help To Create Memories Of Westwick
Let me introduce myself. My name is Stewart Addley and I live in London, Ontario, Canada and I’m a descendant of John Berney Petre, Esq. of Westwick, born 1806, died 1882.
My great grandfather is Berney Seymour (Petre) and he was a photographer in Aylsham and lived on Commercial Road, with his own business, born 1852, died 1904.
With that being said I'm looking for any help from persons that would have known the family or have pictures handed down from family members or would know who lives in Westwick House at the present day,or a phone number.
My grandmother came to Canada in June of 1912 and I have some information listed on my website http://www.starsplace.com/life_stores.htm
I would be most grateful for any information.
Stewart, email star@starsplace.com

Hi, I'm Mel and I am loooking for information on my family the Faulkes. My dad was born in Scottow Row, my grandad and nanny were Rose and Alfred and my great grandparents were William, known as Old Billy, and his wife was Elizabeth Kidd from Cotishall. My grandad planted a holly tree when my dad was born in 1938 and I went back a few weeks ago and it is still there! If anybody has any information, also for my grandad's siblings Reggie, William and Edith, it would be great.
Thanks.
