Hi Roberta I live in Padbury, and yes it is a small picturesque village. Lots of thatched cottages, 2 pubs and a butchers shop. Buckingham is 2 1/2 miles up the road. If you want me to, I can check the Churchyard here in Padbury for you and see if there are any Sears buried there, and I can also go to Steeple Claydon for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Regards Amanda
