    Hello Ellie, I noticed you wrote your comment some time ago, however, I have stumbled upon your post and may be able to put you in contact with family members of Brenda’s. If you would like to provide me with your contact details I’d be happy to pass them on to them.

    Looking for any pictures of Brenda Ryder, lived in Haslingfield until she sadly died in 2013. Brenda looked after me when I was young in Papworth Everard. I lost touch when I moved abroad and when I came back I tried to find her. Would dearly love a photograph. After she married she moved to Haslingfield and is buried in the churchyard. Thank you so much.

    I saw the picture of the Football team in 1909 that included Ted Gatward.
    I am researching this Gatward family – they were Blacksmiths in the village from 1874.
    Initially Ted’s father Albert and then Ted who lived there until around 1950.
    I was wondering if there were any other photos or stories that anyone had on the Gatward family?

    Hi Folks emailing from NZ, Is there by any chance any surviving images of the Prime family who owned Spring Hall Farm in the 1800s. And any of the Newling Family in Haslingfield during that same period, I’m a 3rd g-grandaughter of William Prime/Elizabeth Newling, through their grandaughter Daisy Fanny Newling.

    Hi can you tell me if Frederick Barnard and his brother Robert Barnard are in any of the Barnard Family Photos? If yes what the names of their siblings are? Frederick is my great-great granddad and I am researching my family history, so this information would be really helpful.

    If you go to the School Admissions document on the history page, you’ll find lots of Patmans listed.

    Re photo 245 Lizzie Patman, do you have any further details. My GGG Grandad was Stephen Harrison Patman (b.1838-d.1915) he had been a Sexton in his later years, he had a daughter called Elizabeth who appears on the 1911 census aged 42, I wondered if this is a photo of her, there were a couple more of the same name in the 1911 census.

    Ref 147. Miss Tuck. Does anyone know her first name? My husband’s great grandmother was Martha Tuck , daughter of William Tuck the school master in 1871.

    Re photo 193, said to be milking shed at River Farm, I think you will find that is the granary in the field behind the current Methodist Chapel, taken from behind the chapel looking towards the old Manor Orchard behind the Dovecote.

    Re the photo of the inaugural meeting/tea of the over 60’s club, on the last line you mention Mr Fred Dodds (ex- missionery of The Manor) as No. 5. I am fairly certain the lady next to him, No. 4, is his wife, Grace Dodds.

    Hello
    Ref photo no. 4, Cobbler’s shop in Church Street – west of the Marquis of Granby & east of the shop. Cobbler is Mr. Gifford.
    It would seem that Mr Gifford may be my Great Grandfather John Gifford as he was a shoemaker in Haslingfield. Would anyone be able to identify him from the several men who appear in the photo.
    Thanks so much for any help

    Ref photo 141.
    Willis Barnard in the photo is my grandfather. The caption said that he emigrated to Canada and had 5 sons. He actual had 2 sons and a daughter, his oldest being my father. The caption also saids (c 1916). Willis emigrated to Canada in 1910 when he was 19 years old so this photo is earlier then 1916.

    Dear Mr Cole, The caption we have in the village archive for the 1932 School football team says it must be Basil Custerton or Greg Cole. If Greg Cole was not yet born and there is no other Greg Cole floating about, then I assume it must be Basil Custerton. I have amended to caption to say this. Thanks for the input.

    Dear Sirs,
    A correction to the school football team photo of 1932.
    Among the names quoted is Greg Cole, my late brother.
    As he was born in 1933, he could not have been in the team,
    or the photograph. The Cole connection is there though, as
    father, Mr Eric George Cole, was headmaster then and would have
    selected the team.
    I hope this helps.
    Neville James Cole.
