General Chat

For those that have joined in on previous nights we have had fun discovering more about people with unusual names. And I have a good one again tonight.

Please discover "Lemon David Waspe"

Good Evening Laptop.

You are having a laugh - surely! LOL
Tina - let battle commence - so to speak.

In Oct I was abraod on Holiday and there was the standard nightmare holiday family from hell there - even though for the last 15 years I have gone to same place to avoid them (If we can afford it we venture somewhere new each mid year).

They had a young daughter called Tuesday (reminded me of Adams family) she wasnt even fully mature and her and her mum had nothing on but swim pants - the mum I didnt object too - well I did on her uncoutheness but a teenager in just swim pants!!!!!!

He was born in 1893 Reg. March 1893 Ipswich 4a 8?7.

Married Mabel E Baker Ipswich 4a 155a Reg. Mar 1923.

I've just come across a Flora Dora Amyes from Abergavenny

Well done Tina, have you found his family ?

No, having difficulty, this is a tough one. But I will try harder.

I have found not one, but three Obadiah Orange Lemmons!!
All born in Hampshire.
One in 1785, in Christchurch, one in 1834 in Lyndhurst and one in 1856 in Romsey. The last one's father was called John Cooke Lemmon.

There were Waspe's living in several properties at Shrubland Hall according to a granddaughter's story, report in 2006.

Quote :-

My mother was Elsie Waspe, the fourth of eight children of Frank and Elizabeth Waspe. She married Albert Bone from Witham in 1936. My grandfather, Frank, was woodman on the Shrubland Estate and my mother went into service at the Hall at 14 years old as a scullery maid. She later worked for the Rector of Coddenham Church (Mr Purcel?) and went to Cressage in Shropshire with the family. My aunt, Joan Stockley, was housekeeper to the de Saumarez family for several years.

My grandparents lived in several different places on the estate. During the war my mother was evacuated to her parents' home with her two sons (David & Eric) and I was born in the front bedroom of the left hand cottage opposite Rouse's garage (now gone). Later they moved to Honeymoon Cottages. I lived in London but spent most of my school holidays at my grandparents. I would welcome any information about the Waspe family as I am attempting to trace my family tree. I remember Shrubland as a beautiful place but I had never been inside the Hall until the viewing prior to the Sotherby's sale in September 2006.
