Looking for descendents of Charles Edwin Drew (1880-1962) and Alice Edwards~ who had a son~ Charles William Drew C1912 in Chilton Foliat. Charles Edwin had sisters Alice Margaret (1883~ who married William Brooks~ a soldier) and Winifred Frances (1899~ who married Edward James Conway). Winifred's children were Frankie (or maybe Freddie) and Margaret. Charles Edwin and sisters were my grandfather Bob Drew's cousins.

I'm trying to find any reference to my 4 x great grandfather William Wentworth who is listed on the 1841 Clapham (London) census and 1851 Tooting Graveney ( London) census~ as being a skin salesman born in Chilton Wiltshire around 1786 and married to Mary born approx 1791 (no other details other than she was born somewhere other than London)

I am looking for the Elkins family from Little Bedwyn. Priscilla Elkins was born here around 1814. She married George Hillier and had a daughter Mary (born 1843 and died 1873). They lived in South Stoke.

My mum was Ellen Axford~ born Rodbourne Cheney near Swindon~ so naturally I'm curious as to any link with the village of Axford.**Mum was a teacher at Stratton St Margaret in the 1930s.

HILTON/PICKFORD/WOOD/WOODS **Comment Seeking Cousins - brothers Derek Peter & Christopher John Wood or Woods last of Menai (mid 80's). Their mother's maiden name was 'Hilton' (her family lived near Prestwich) The family ran a pub somewhere in the Oldham or Bury boroughs (now Greater Manchester) when I last saw them approximately 1974 or 1975 with our grandfather. The brothers are now in their mid 40's. First cousin Janeth desperately wishes to establish contact for her own purposes and not on behalf of any other family members. Any clues welcome. I have been trying for years to find them. An old telephone number in Menai Bridge is no longer active. I still have a lovely picture of Derek in his school uniform aged approximately 14 years old which I have kept all those years. If you know the family~ some of whom may be still in North Wales~(Anglesey) please ask them to get in touch with me. Perhaps relatives in Prestwich/Bury areas may have some clues.And there may be a suggested that Derek is in Berkshire?Thanks.**Janeth - first cousin -in Cheshire.** **
