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

Joanna. No photos, I'm afraid but many years ago I tried to work out why the Cliffe bakers disappeared from the Penkridge
trade directories between 1851 and 1884, then reappeared again. I probably don't know any more then you do but if you email
me at maddocks one seven three (as numbers)at aol.com I will send you my notes. |

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 |

Hi, My family are mainly from Penkridge Rea. circa late 1800-1940. I was born at Whiston in the house that I believe was also
Chapel. We moved into the village shortly after my birth. My father Thomas worked at the mill on cannock Rd. and we lived
in the then mill cottage movine later to #7 Bellbrook. My father was also Asst. scoutmaster 1st Penkridge troop. A Mr Phillips
was the scountmaster. I can just remember the camping trips to Fairbourne, in Wales. Lso I was the mascot of the troop and
my Grandma Caine made my scout uniform as i was only 4yrs old at the time. Also remember marching beside Mr phillips on the
church parades. On my mothers side the Hewitts her Charles had I believe something to do with the gasworks. She in her early
years worked at the Littleton hotel in the early 1900's. I have one surviving aunt living in Penkridge Mrs P Hewitt who resides
at the seniors residence off Mill St. I was wonering if their is place that I can get further info on my family history. My
wife an I visited Penkridge last Fall. Had a great visit and meal at Littleton. Have some other info if you are interested.

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. |

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 |

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. |

I have recently begun researching WW1 dead, who are commemorated on the war memorial outside st.michael's church and note
you have obtained photographs of some of the men named on the war memorial and wandered if it would be possible to let me
have details of where you obtained the information.
Kind Regards,
