I am looking to find out any information that I can on my family. My grandfather George Stevens was born in Stockingford and his mother Alice Stevens in Hartshill (although I can find no record of her birth). She was the daughter of Henry and Hannah Stevens who lived in Grove Road Stockingford back in 1911. If anyone out there has a connection to this family I would very interested to hear from them.****Regards**Sarah Green

Hello all~**I am a descendant of the Allcott family~ and I know many of them lived in Hurley in the 1800~s. My grandfather was called Edward Allcott and was born in 1844. He seemed to have had quite a large family and I am trying to trace any of them. I do believe that they were buried in or near Hurley and if any one is able to help me with this~ I would be forever grateful!! I have tried searching for cemeteries in the area but have come up with nothing. As I live in Australia I am unable to visit personally. Hoping for some information to help me on my way.****Many thanks****Joan McEwan

• I have started to research the Hodgkins family tree. I can go back to 1865- Great grandfather. I think there could be some links in the Hodgkins names. Please leave a message if you are still interested. Janice

Hinckley~ Stoke **Golding~ and Hinckley**So glad we found how to send a message to your messageboards. ****The entire Methodist Circuit was so hospitable to the World Methodist Clergy **Exchange last winter. We had a great time and still have so much gratitude in **our hearts for all we learned~ and for the brilliant hospitality of all the **good people of the Churches of the Hinckley Circuit and of the Congregations of **the Church of England of Hinckley and Higham-on-the-Hill. ****We miss you all and wish we could be there to go carolling with you again this **year. It was 85 degrees here today. Sunny and does not look like winter except **for the many decorations and twinkling Christmas lights.****The roads are clogged with the tourists who once again are here in Florida by **the thousands. We had such hurricanes~ 5 of them~ that it is wonderful that **life has once again returned to normal and the mess of the storms has been **mostly cleaned up entirely.**We were not hurt here but many had damage that was severe.**We all pulled together to help one another and it is behind us now.** **We were there last winter and had such a brilliant time.****Dr. Michael and Ursula Cox were our brilliant hosts.**We do hope they had a memorable Anniversary Event in September. Wish we could **have been there.****They are the very best hosts anyone could have.**The many who welcomed us into their homes taught us much about gardening~ great **cooking~ fresh vegetables~ and the beautiful way they prepare such delicious **meals there.****Eveline Overton and her husband were great hosts~ too.**We were in so many homes~ with such lovely people of great faith.**It humbles us to recall the generous nature of all the people there in that **region of England. The Midlands.**We enjoyed so much the people of the Higham-on-the-Hill Methodist and also the **Church of England located there in the lovely Village.** **What good and beautiful people joined in singing Carols on at Christmas time. **We wish we could join them again this year but we are here in Florida~ USA **getting ready for Christmas here.** **We miss all of you.**Please give our best regards to Dr. Michael and Ursula Cox and the good people **of the Churches of Higham-on-the-Hill.** **So wish we could go carolling again with the group.** **We value so highly the book written by Dr. Cox on Higham-on-the-Hill. ** **We have had our Presidential election and realize that many of England do not **understand the mind/thinking of we here in America. But in our opinions we **sense that most Americans are very happy with President George W.
