Does anyone have any information relating to Cragg Hall Wood~ Tattingstone. Some of the wood and surrounding area were flooded when the reservoir was built but my father lived there from 1931-1951 and I am trying to find old pictures of the woods and possibly their family home whihc no longer stands.****Many thanks.

Hello. Would anyone know of Robert Green born to Robert Green~ a Miller. I believe Robert jr was born in c1801 in Ardleigh as he gave on the 1851 census. Robert Green jr is my great great grandfather. His youngest child was my father's grandmother: Jane Rebekah Green. Robert's 4 children with wife no 2~ Sarah Watkins from Wales~ were all born in Heath Weeley and later went to St Osyth to live before they all seem to have travelled far and wide.**Regards~ Julie

My great uncle was Albert James AINGER~ a former coastguard~ who died in Wix in 1923. I believe he was married to Mary and lived in Council Cottages~ Wix. I have researched the family history for 20yrs and recently traced Albert to Wix. I am desperate to hear from any descendant. I may have relatives in Wix and there are a vast number of Aingers here in Chichester where we originated. If you can help please get in touch.

I have been researching my Family History since the 1990's. My main line is ASKEW and most of my ancestors came from Stutton~East Bergholt~ Tattingstone and Brantham.##I have traced back to the late 1700's on the ASKEW line. My 4th Great Grandfather was Samuel ASKEW. He married Maria GILES in Tattingstone church 25th Nov 1788. He died 23rd Oct 1856 in Brantham aged 87 yrs. I have located him in the 1841 and 1851 Census in Brantham. The problem I have is he just seemed to appear~ saying he was from Stutton. I have recorded a large number of ASKEW's dating from the 1500's but not one was born in 1769 called Samuel. The only one I can find with that birth year comes from Northampton.##I think he could well be who I am looking for.##I was wondering if any local people from here or surrounding areas might have connections to the ASKEW family. I would appreciate it if anyone with information would contact me please.##Sam was an Agricultural Labourer who them became a Husbandman (Tenent Farmer). Most of his sons were Boot and Shoemakers.##I am hoping to get this message printed in all surrounding areas and hope I might get some results after all these years.##Thank you##Trevor Askew##29 Parnell Road##Ipswich##IP1 6SP##01473 740415

Between 1955 & 1960 I spent many happy holidays in I believe "Threeways Cottage" owned by Fred and Marguerite White. It was a lovely old thatched cottage with out buildings facing a green and only a couple of farms and farm cottages nearby. I believe it was near Wix and some miles walk into Manningtree. Does anyone recall this place?

I presume some of the descendants must have remained in the Capel St.Mary's area or elsewhere in Suffolk and would be very grateful if anyone can help.

Alderton John christened 23 March 1783 Langham Essex and John Alderton born 1806 Langham Essex.**I am researching the UK ancestry of my gggrt grand father John Alderton which appears to be a very common name for those days. I have a record of his Australian history but I would like to trace his UK heritage. I have some possible leads but I am unsure if they are the right ones. My gggrt grand father was John Daniel Alderton born 1806? Langham Essex~ on his DC his parents were a John and Elizabeth (Sarah) UNKNOWN surmame. I am wondering if the John Alderton christened on the 23rd of March 1783 in Langham Essex (parents John and Sarah? )was his father. Also if the marriage of a John Alderton in Great Massington Runcton Norfolk in 1783 to Sarah reeder/Reider which corresponds to the christening date of the Langham relative would perhaps be his father. Very confusing yes but if anyone has any possible leads I would greatly appreciate it.**Thankyou Sue Alderton**** **********

This is just an update on the last entry .I had a senior moment and said my teacher at Brantham village school was mrs Walters but that was the teacher in Baylham.The teachers were Miss Turnerand Mrs Howes.. I also Would like to Know if the Girling Family are still in the area ~we went to school with them Gay and Stuart Their grandfather was called Scottie and he looked after the last 14 retired suffok punch Horses to work on the farm .I also wanted to know if you are aware that Brantham Hall was the site of the chief house over several hundred years~ when i was at school we had to do a project that covered the history of the area Mr Keeble the owner told us that when the front driveway to the hall was dug up for repairs ~Roman water pipes were found. also that the house at a later date was moated..Not far away ~I have no idea if it still exists but there was a old quarry where stone age flint arrows etc were found these used to be in the British museum ..as we are talking 1950s i'm not sure that any of this is general knowledge any more.
