Comments/Requests for information I am researching the history of the creation, from 1818, of a large country estate on Exmoor in Somerset by John Knight, ironmaster, of Wolverley, Worcestershire. Mr Knight's Land Surveyor, was a "Mr Bright". I suspect this might be John Bright (1781 - 1844) who was later Lord Hatherton's Steward at Teddesley (mentioned in Lord Hatherton's diary on 6/2/1840). I wonder if you can point me to anything that might help me confirm (or otherwise) this connection? Thanking you in anticipation. Graham Wills

Comments/Requests for information Hello Bob I was interested in the Penkridge Mystery of William Harding House and I thought I might try some of my family history research skills to identify any relevant Hardings around 1673. The Hardings have a significant number of entries in the Baswich Church Registers including Aaron Harding baptised 8th May 1649. John Harding son of Aaron was baptised at St Michaels 20th April 1676. Mary the wife of Aaron Harding was buried at St Michaels 6th March 1677. The A.H in the plaque could be his and the M represent Mary. Aaron Harding married Francis Emery at St Michaels 25th Sept 1678 which was probably second marriage as a widower. He was buried at St Michaels 25th Sept 1686. Other Harding records at St Michaels from 1653 (earliest available) to the end of 1699 are burials of Elizabeth 2nd April 1657 and and Mary 7th Oct 1699. I have no idea about the "O"s or the B C unless it has some connection with Baswich for him and somewhere like like Colwich for Mary. Thanks for the great books and the work of the Local History Group

Comments/Requests for information I have just discovered my great grandfather on the estate workers list, james Worsey. he was a gamekeeper and had his arm shot off by poachers, ironical since my grandfather grew up to be an accomplished poacher himself. There were lots of Ws in Penkridge, I believe my Aunt Dora was the last born there in 1901

Comments/Requests for information Would be very interesting read. If you want memories of Penkridge in the 60's, that is when I lived there as a child. Connie used to do her milk rounds to the houses pushing a barrow with crates of milk on it. The snow of 1963 didnt stop her, although I didnt get to school in Brewood for 3 days!

Comments/Requests for information First of all I'd like a copy of "Grit", being a descendent of the Croydons who lived in Penkridge from about 1770 to 1945. The Churchyard has about eight tombs, full of my ancestors, and a couple of windows and a prayer-desk in memoriam. Rock House was built in 1815 by my GGGUncle Richard. I can probably supply quite a bit of interesting family details for your records. I am interested particularly in anything about John Croydon (1803-81), the miller. And the mill itself ! Please e.mail me with details as to how to buy the book and I will try and provide something of interest for your guest-book.

Comments/Requests for information I am currently doing some research for a friend of mine - I do it as a hobby - and have found a link to the Littleton family. My friend is the great niece of Hester Edithe Hoskins, who married the 4th Baronet Hatherton. Edward Charles Rowley Littleton on July 14th 1897. I have obtained their marriage date from various sites specialising in aristocratic lines; but I have not been able to find the marriage in any Marriage Index at the PRO. I have found that Edward was serving as a military attache in Sarawak in 1896, which offers the possibility that they were married in the East. Hester was an Australian. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Comments/Requests for information I have read your books "The Good Old Grit" and "Penkridge 1930 to 1970 The Day Before Yesterday" and found them very interesting, they bring back memories of my childhood and people now departed. I've also found the information in them helpful in my family history research. My grandfather Wilfrid Ingram, Master Mason, lived at Quarry Heath, his father was Frederick Ingram, Master Mason. My mother, Freda, and her siblings were all born there. On my father's side of the family his mother was Mary E. Lyons, daughter of Alfred and Elizabeth Lyons. Elizabeth had a grocery shop in Penkridge late 19C and early 20C. Edward (Ted) and Harry Lyons were my Gt. Uncles. I would be interested to know if you have another book about Penkridge or the surrounding area in the pipeline.
