I am looking for anyone researching or connected to Thomas Ricketts who was born Waltham Abbey, Essex in in 1803. Thomas married Ann Gale in Marylebone, London and they had eleven children Margaret, Esther, Sarah, Emma, Thomas, Jane, Charles, Elizabeth, Harriet, William and Harriet.

Thomas's occupation was a master bricklayer employing six men and one boy, his sons also went on to be bricklayers.

I would be pleased to hear from anyone connected to family, and would lke to discover who Thomas's parents were.

I've finished writing my book about Harry Moon and his military service during the Great War. It's now available from Pen & Sword and has the rather bland title of 'Tank Action in the Great War'. My original choice was 'The Moon at Fontaine' but this was judged a bit obscure by the publisher - with some justification I concede! Anyway~ it's out there and mentions a few other Sussex men~ such as: Bazeley (Horsham)~ Jupp~ Gilder~ Bates~ Powell~ Parish~ Maynard and Wright. If you know anything about any of these chaps I'd be pleased to hear from you.****Regards~****Ian.

I am researching my family tree. My maiden name is Pegrum. My great-grandfather Alfred Pegrum was born in Theydon Garnon in 1847 and my grandfather Horace in 1895. Any information would be much appreciated. I understand Alfred used to play the organ in the local church as did his son Hugh after him.

My ancester SAMUEL EDWARD MAYNARD born 1848 Loughton Essex married LOUISA FINNIMORE in Loughton essex~ The marriage certificate lists his occupation as a THEATRICAL MANAGER. but on the 1881 census is listed as a CLERK IN A THEATRICAL TICKET OFFICE. as he appears as a clerk in other census returns~ maybe he was trying to impress his in-laws. But I would love to know WHICH theatre or ticket office this would have been in those days.##Also I have a VERY ELUSIVE ancestor JOHN MAYNARD born 1710 in LINGIELD. Do you have any records of him?##Thank you in anticipation Mrs D. Andrews (Australia)
