SITE UPDATES and NEWSSunday 30th May 2010 Two more doctors added - Gale and Mellish. Thursday 20th May 2010 Two more recent garages added - Hampton & Northfield Tomorrow is the Silver Surfer day at Tetbury Library, I hope to see some of you there! Monday 17 May 2010 Newly created Facebook page here Sunday 16 May 2010 Stump family added. It is my thought that many of these family groups are connected through a common ancestor in the Charlton, Malmesbury district. However, this is not yet proven so just a thought and will be worked on in the fullness of time I expect. Friday 14 May 2010 I have just spent a few evenings going through the pages to check all is working well and that I have links where they should be! All seems well, and I have added a few page links that I had missed off. Next Friday 21st sees a ‘silver surfer’ day at Tetbury Library, and along with HOTS and others, I shall be in attendance. More details here Saturday 1 May 2010 New page of staff employed by the Tetbury Union. I will be attending Tetbury Library for a forthcoming local history day on May 21st. More information available when I have it. Wednesday 14 April 2010 I dragged a friend along to one of the Heritage Westonbirt open days and had a very informative guided tour around the house. They are planning more but I don’t know when they will be. How priviledged the school girls are who attend the private school in the buildings. Photos added to the Westonbirt pages. Good Friday 2nd April 2010 Fishmongers page added Wednesday 24 March 2010 Police pages updated Monday 8 March 2010 I have been busy entering detail from the 1911 census onto the Tetbury Families database which now stands at just under 25,000 individuals in the period 1780-1911 approximately. Two interesting family groups were of two travelling showmen’s caravans parked in a field off the Charlton Road! Tuesday 16 February 2010 A day spent at Gloucestershire Archives, hands on with Parish Records, but for a specific reason, not to do with the website. I shall return, and feel an indexing project coming on.....overseers bills and receipts from traders, and workmen in the parish. A wonderful selection of Tetbury material preserved for ever. Baptist chapel page updated. Monday 8 February 2010 Hayes pages uploaded - I have just been researching Henry Hayes & Martha [nee Cull], a sad case as their children ended up in the Muller Orphanages in Bristol. Martha died young, Henry remarried Ellen Shipton [her mother was a Hayes], Henry died fairly soon after and Martha’s children appear in Bristol, and Ellen’s in Tetbury workhouse by 1901. Still looking for new photographic material for the second through time book, especially the local villages such as Long Newnton, Shipton Moyne etc etc. If you have anything please contact me using the email below. I have found some rare shop photographs with internal shots so I am very excited about being able to share those with my readers. Saturday 6 February 2010 Life has taken a few hits recently with the son having surgery on a broken arm and my mother being diagnosed with cancer. I hope to be able to carry on updating the site and doing private research but be patient with me if things go a bit quiet from time to time. 10th January 2010 Booksigning yesterday in Bishops Cleeve bookshop and one customer, who runs the nextdoor cafe, used to visit his family in the town as a child. Turns out when I did a bit of digging around that he is related to the Cleavers! More family pages restored - check the family index page for the latest updates. 6th January 2010 a link to a video of the last days of the Tetbury railway have been sent in by Paul Best. Orum family started. I was planning to go to the Archives today but snow stopped play. It has finally hit Gloucestershire and I was feeling a bit left out of it all! Now I’m not too sure - perhaps we would have been better off being left out. But it does look very nice out there. 2nd January 2010 more family pages added - Cleaver is finished, Philpot, Morse, Cave, Haslock. Wednesday 30th December 2009and now a Happy New Year to you all. I see the year out nursing a cold but hope that all my site visitors are feeling a bit healthier! I shall be doing another through time book - this second one will encompass the surrounding areas of Tetbury such as Didmarton, Westonbirt, Doughton, Long Newnton etc. If there are any long lost photographs out there that you are willing to share..... I forgot to mention a week or so ago - the Cleaver family pages are being reloaded. Tuesday 22nd December 2009 Happy Christmas to all those who use this site, and especially to those who have supported me during the production of my book during the last year. Friday 18th December 2009 with only one week to go until Christmas my thoughts haven’t been on the website that much but I very pleased to see new entries on the Guest Book pages. List your family interests and you may find a family contact out there.... Tuesday 8th December 2009 The day after my radio ‘appearance’, completely coincidentally, I had a phone call from Amberley asking if I will do another book in the ‘through time’ series. As I enjoyed doing the first one so much I said yes without hesitation. This second is to cover some of Tetbury and the surrounding area, so villages like Beverstone, Westonbirt, Shipton, Doughton, Didmarton etc etc. So, you know what’s coming now....are there any photographs lurking out there, those rare family gems that make these books so special. If you have and are willing to share them, then I would love to be able to use them. Tuesday 1 December 2009 I went into Radio Gloucestershire this morning to record an interview with Dave Smith of the afternoon show. It should be on tomorrow afternoon, and afterwards if you miss it, like I will as I will be at work, on i player.Sunday 29th November 2009 Christmas shopping! started yet? No, I haven’t either but must get on with it. I usually take the lazy route these days and use the internet. With this in mind I have included some links on the Store page, perhaps a subscription to a research website or magazine is a good solution for a family member just getting into their research. There was more information on Tetbury from the Avon lady - her ex inlaws were the hairdressers featured on Long Street, and it is indeed true that Queen Mary patronized the establishment during the war. With the amount of snippets coming in from all quarters to add to the detail already included I shall have to do another book! Saturday 28th November 2009 - Upton Grove farm added. I sold a copy of my book today to my Avon lady. When she got home she rang me to say that the couple pictured at Northleaze for the coronation tea party were her parents! Thursday 19th November 2009: Scouts, Amateur dramatic society, Farms updated and more added. Monday 16th November updating of the buildings pages - churches finished and Farms started this evening! 1911 data included where it has been found. Thursday 12th November Alley family updated and uploaded I found a small snippet of film - to view click here [Pathe Film archive] Wednesday 11th November Baptist updated, Christchurch updated, St Marys updated. New page ‘Who was who’ added Monday 9th November 2009 Leisure [societies] updated; Baptist church MI stones added; Bowman family updated and added Sunday 8th November 2009 The moral of this week has got to be - don’t upgrade software until you have finished a particular task! Somehow [and only one of those little gremlins that lurks in all our pcs knows how] the website lost all it’s banners, fortunately not the bit that the public see, just the version I am working on on my home pc. So, I have spent the last few days fretting and worrying about that. Now all restored so I will get those family pages restored during the week, starting with Bowman. These pages will include data from the 1911 census.Sunday 1st November 2009 It’s been an exciting week with the publication of my book at long last. Once I had finished it seemed to come off the press very quickly. I have now got time to continue updating the website and all the existing business, building and street pages have been uploaded in their new format. I shall get the family ones done later so hope that by the end of the week they are all restored. Then I will start on some new research. Any requests? Monday 26th October 2009 Still waiting..... don’t be alarmed when the purchase link on the Store page shows that all the books are sold out - not yet in stock but paypal only comes up with the aforementioned phrase! I am continuing to restore all the pages removed - all the previously listed leisure, streets and buildings are back, now I am working my way through the trades section and will finish with the families. Tomorrow I attend Amberley Publishing for a book launch for another of the through time series plus a celebration of their first year of trading. I have never been to such an event before and am looking forward to it! Tuesday 20th October 22:14 I’m still waiting - shouldn’t be too long now...... In the new ‘Store’ page the link to purchase a copy of the book tells you it is out of stock - well, it is as it has never been in stock, but it shouldn’t be saying this. Keep checking back and as soon as I have my copies I will amend the quantity available. Regarding the website, sadly neglected over the last few months I am afraid. I am gradually restoring the pages in the new format and I hope that all the links, images etc that were not working correctly are or will be doing so. Apologies to all who have been put out by it.
