General Chat

oooo I'd forgotten about this until I just saw Jim's thread. Jan, my Huckles are from Cardington (just outside Bedford). We should compare notes ?

Lambeth and Bedford hun :-))

Jan nooooooooooooooooooo lol Paul (where ?)

Chunks god forbid us being related BUT I have Huckle's in my family too Luv Jan xx

Paul, I wonder if your boss knows his family history? As far as I can remember off hand most of my Bates were from around Toddington, but I seem to remember a link to somewhere near Leighton Buzzard a few generations back. Carolyn

Paul Its my 2nd cousin thats in Milton Keynes and I never put a county on his letters just the postcode. Only been to his parents house in Aspey so don't know the area. As for Biddleswade thats wehere my aunt and uncle were and my cousins grew up there. Uncle still there.

Dawn, As you know, I'm in Milton Keynes (which is in Bucks by the way :), but know Biggleswade, Aspley Guise and Flitwick well - don't have any rellies there as far as I know though (would like to live in Aspley Guise, lovely place) ! My Balls may or may not have come from Biggleswade :S

Paul My living ones are in Biggleswade, Milton Keynes and Aspley Guise oh and Flitwick

Dawn, Chrissie... I have none of those names. Whereabouts in Beds were your rellies Dawn ? Caroline.. you mentioned Bates in Bucks.. my boss is from Wolverton and his name is Bates... wouldn't that be strange if you were related lol

Paul I grew up in bucks and have rellies in beds does that count. Fraid no balls just calls. You can have Doves, Trudgett, Jenkins, sheppherd, howitt to name a few if you want

Well Paul, I'm quite hurt really. I thought we had already established that you were a Smiff like me. There can't be too many of those around LOL. However, if you wont settle for that, I had better join the bandwagon. I have:- Allpress - Morley - Cracknell - Gray - Rollinson - Whetton and many,many others. Any good to you? Chrissie

Louise... no relations in Swindon that I know of. Thankfully. Caroline... my wife and I got married at the Milton Keynes Village church. Its still very nice, but surrounded somewhat by new housing. They still have morris dancing at the pub round the cornet though, and the cricket green is still there and in use. Not relevant at all, but the lady that married us is the daughter of Kathy Staff (Norah Batty !!)

Sorry Paul can't match any of your names but I do have a couple of Pritchetts for Louise. I'll be very surprised if there's a match though, I've just put three of my surnames on lost cousins & got no matches. BTW there's free subsciption to lost cousins till the end of Jan '06 if you put in YFT as code. Vivienne

Paul, my gt grandparents got married at old Milton Keynes village church. I visisted there once and it was quite rural. There names were Charles Edward Ling (his family came from Suffolk) and Katie Skinner (originally from Toddington). Also from Beds/Bucks I have Bates, Ashby, Burrows, Quick and Dickens. Also, my friend Sue has ancestors from Eggington (Lathwell and Pratt) and we visited a lovely little pub in the village last year, it was so nice we hardly had time for grave searching by the time we'd finished lunch! Carolyn

No relations in Potterbury Paul. Never heard of it but i have a Smith ancestor in Swindon. He was deaf and dumb and lived on Rotton Row. He's not one of yours is he? Muscling in on the act now - has anyone got any Sharpes, Pritchetts, Boddys, Taylors, Russells, Plitschs, Richardsons, Finneys, Parkes, Waplingtons, Morrants, Kelleys, Boots?

in fact i cant even find a link with the Somerset lot on here either that or they are not admitting it lol!!! Bev

Sorry Paul all mine are Somerset except 1 gtgt granma who managed Somerset to Guernsey, Guernsey to somerset and then somerset to Louth, lincs, where she eventually married only to die 5 years later Bev

Blue... main lines are Smith, Hall, Atkins, Swain, plus Huckle, Barby, Henson, Wilkinson, Hughes and about 75 other sunames :S Paul

Bec are your Richardsons in essex? I've got some knocking around Chelmsford and Ongar.

Oh Paul, I did try! Daisy
