After waiting six years for the 1911 Census to come out~ I discovered that my wife's GGgrandad was born in Springfield in abt 1792.**He was a gardner by trade but by 1828 he had moved to Rainham in Kent was listed as a victualler and then an inn-keeper.**I wondered if anyone could throw any light on him. I am intrigued to know how he managed to achieve this rise in fortune.

I have found a direct connection to Matthew Irons (Mathias Innes) born supposedly in Danbury. I am interested in going back further~ hoping to find Matthew's parents~ grandparents~ etc. Is there a site that has information pertaining to this request?

The school opened approximately 1873.

McGORRERY family Springfield Rd 1881. Henry Mc Gorrery was the Governor of HM Gaol at Springfield. I would love to have a local look up Baptisms/deaths for me 1861- 1881 f possible. I have approx dates. Is there a Local history group or Library which might help me?****I have a photo of the house with the family on the lawn -is it still standing? It seems to be between Gaol Lane and 10 Hill Terrace if that makes sense!**I would be most grateful for any leads!**Thanks**Marlene**

Love UK Villages.****Have a query about Fairseat~ can anyone tell me if there was a large walnut tree opposite a row of 3 cottages? I have a postcard showing this picture (about 1910) but am aware there is a Fairseat in Norfolk as well. Is it the Essex Fairseat or not? Can scan the picture to anyone who wants to see.****Many thanks****Jeremy
