Little Lane, Upper Bucklebury
Hi,
I am trying to find out historical and land usage information about the site of my house and the immediate surrounding area, in Little Lane, Upper Bucklebury.
Do you have any resources covering the area, or can you point me in the direction of a person or organisation who might be able to help?
I have found one old OS map, which suggests that there may have been a cemetery covering the site, however, having spoken to a number of local people (church, parish council, former resident of my house), nobody knows anything about it.
I would be grateful for any assistance.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Alex.
Bryan Gush, Thatcham Garage
I am trying to find more for my local car club about Bryan Gush who apparently had a garage in Thatcham and developed his own car that was very successful at Brooklands in Spring (possibly March) 1934. I have a NWN article 29.3.1934 but no more local background. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Allen Family Tree
I am researching my family tree. My paternal surname was Allen. My father was Frank, son of Bessie, who was daughter to Henry and Sarah Allen of Knightsbridge View Farm, Crookham Common. On the 1911 census Henry and Sarah were still living there. Any information you can give me regarding the Allens, or their home would be gratefully recieved.
Thank you,
Margaret Johnson (nee Allen)
Colthrop Paper
My Great Grandfather Albert Henry Lyford worked at Colthrop Paper Mill for most of his life and I am interested in any photographs of the Mill and it's workers in the late 19th and early 20th century
Bosley Family
Dear Sir,
I wonder if you can help me in any way, I am tracing my family tree and I have gone back to about 1800 my ancestors were all born lived and died in Thatcham but I cannot find any graves of my ancestors though I did find 2 on the Thatcham war memorial. Is there any way you could point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
Paul Bosley
