Bill THOMPSON wrote in his memoirs (!) My sister (Gladys Rosina THOMPSON) is getting married and everyone is running around in circles. We know her husband to be quite well, in fact we all belong to the same tennis club ( Anybody any ideas as to which). He (Wilfred George TANDY) has a small farm in Hawkesbury and delievers milk around the village. The honeymoon was in Burnham on Sea and Bill has to do the milk round for a week. he writes :- What a lark! In those days you carried the milk in a can with a pint and a half measure, the ladies came out with a jug. The had their pint or half pint and always wanted a drop extra as well. Later Bill writes how he used to collect coal from Badminton Station and deliver it round the village 3 afternoons a week. And for all those of you contemplating Burnham on Sea for a honeymoon. Bear in mind that Bill writes how Wilfred George caiught mumps on honeymoon leaving Bill to do the milk for an extra 2 weeks. Although the marriage took place on the 28th of February I do not yet know the year. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Neither Robert or Harriet could write their names. Earlier that year before the 27th of May and on the 4th of a month (entry 8 is the 27th of May, entry 7 says the 4th of ???) Joseph COOPER THOMPSON married Mary POWELL. Witnessed by Thomas COOPER and the Hawkesbury Wedding Watcher/Witness John WINBOW. Again both signed with a cross. Interestingly on this certificate the COOPER appears to have been added later as their is a ^ and COOPER is bolder. As it happens I have a spare copy of the Harriet entry if you want it. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Joseph COOPER is described as a "yeoman" in 1814, and as a "farmer" in 1817 and 1829. I have not checked the Tithe apportionment for Hawkesbury to know if he is listed, but he died in 1833. Likewise, I have not yet checked for a will. Seems there is a lot to do on this man. Regarding the COOPER-THOMPSON name, what documentary evidence is there that the children used the name in this form? Is this the name they used on marriage? They are not listed as such in the census.

My transcription of the Hawkesbury PR s from 1813 to1844 show that the spellings TAVENDER, TAVINDER and TAVINER were used fairly indiscriminately. In the 1841 census, I have also found TAVERNER. Even though most families seem to have decided how their names were spelt by this time, I have always assumed that they were all connected in some way.

Hello Lister's, Interested in the above names, got any takers?. Daniel Horwood PARK b. abt. 1726 Hawksbury Gloucester, marr. Elizabeth RICHENS formerly DAVIS 2 Aug. 1750 at Hawksbury. I am looking for his parents,a bit of a stumbling block!. I think they were both buried at Kingswood Gloucester or Wiltshire. I have found a name HORWOOD mentioned in land leasing in Hawksbury from as early as 1585 to 1708. Names being Thomas, 1585, Elizabeth, Arthur son of Thomas, 1631, Nicholas of Weekewarr 1655, and again Nicholas to a Henry FORDE of Wickwarre 1692 93, then Winifred FORD Wickwarr 1708. The name FORD is part of my family tree as is AMOS. Any takers? I would be pleased to hear from you. Thank you reading this and look forward to any replies. GARY, gary.park@clear.net.nz

Robert has kindly sent these 2 responses to current topics coal was delivered to the village by WINTLES of Acton Turville from thier depot at the rail sidings at Acton Turville station this was from at least 1950 to present day prior to this probably different carrier but coal was distributed by rail from Acton Turville, Chipping Sodbury,and Charfield. If you needed a pint of milk delivered in the Village Geoffro's relative Wilfred TANDY was your man, he and his wife had a milk round for a long time delivering milk by means of a yoke and two pails then George TANDY his son took over the milk then coming from Castle Coome Dairies George retired from the round about 10 years ago.Wilfred and his wife also made ice cream from at least 1935 and on Saturday nights sold fish & chips from thier farm on the plain opposite the general store. I remember Walter Thompson ran the sweet shop also on the plain. and re Brian MORGAN interest in MORGANS at Hakesbury there are a family of Morgans who farm at Hawkesbury his father married a relative Beatrice Chappell Mr MORGAN was said to had been 1 of only 3 survivors from HMS HOOD sunk by Bismark in WW2 I have no idea if this is true but as children in the village thats we were told. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Quick question - Is this the only spelling you have of TAVENDER? My Hulberts who lived in Biddestoner then Hawkesbury intermarried with TAVINER - various sopellings - from all those small villages up on the Cotswold Downs of S Glos N Wilts.

I have always found the relationship of Joseph COOPER and Mary THOMPSON interesting. It is noticeable that the first 3 offspring were given both last names. Perhaps the COOPER and THOMPSONs were more closely related than we have so far discovered. Memory tells me that Joseph was from a farming family Geoffro

Coal would have been brought to Hawkesbury but I am unsure from where. Perhaps from the Bristol or Somerset coalfields or perhaps further afield. Perhaps collected from the train station or maybe from the canal. Perhaps Ed TILY may be able to help us on this one Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Hi Brian, HESTER was born 1862 at Hawkesbury, parents WILLIAM (1834) and FANNY 1827 b. > Kington St Nicholas, sister MARY LOUISA. I have a feeling that your William TANDY is a child of John and Ann TANDY which makes him a THOMPSON relative. John and Ann are 3(4) GG parents to cousin Ted THOMPSON who is still farming at Kilcott today. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Coal was shipped from South Wales into Sharpness docks and one of the main local carriers was Cullimore from Cambridge. I worked for his grandson for a while and the family still have copies of the deliveries made.

Hello, Geoff HESTER was born 1862 at Hawkesbury, parents WILLIAM (1834) and FANNY 1827 b. Kington St Nicholas, sister MARY LOUISA. HESTER was a servant at Marshfield in 1881 census and she married GEORGE soon after, or at least they started making babies. ARTHUR PERCY was first 12 Nov 1882. then Nella Elizabeth abt 1886, Alice Dec 1887 - she died and Annie Louisa b 23 Feb 1890. Arthur was listed in 1891 census at Park Lodge, Bitton which I assume to be at Park Wall, but no-one else. George's descendants are reputed to have opened the tea house in the old toll gate at Dyrham on the A46. That's all I know.

Hello Listers I am looking for descendants of George Morgan, born Marshfield 1857, married Hester Tandy of Hawkesbury, whose last known presence was at Park Wall, in 1891. Also Joseph Morgan b. Marshfield 1855 who with wife Betsy of Luccombe and dau Mabel Jenny was at Somerset St. Bedminster in 1881, but had moved by 1891. Also William Morgan b. Marshfield 1853 married Martha from Hanham and went to live at Newington/Camberwell (now part of Southward registration area) in about 1877, and listed in 1881 census. Brian

Hi, I'm new to this list. Is there anyone else researching COLLINS ? I have ancestors going back to this area of GLS. My 5g grandfather was Thomas Collins born around 1725. I have found a possible link to a Thomas Collins born in Tortworth to William Collins, but there are big gaps in the parish records. Does anyone know much about Tortworth at this time ? Is there a graveyard in existence going back to that date ? Terry Collins Perth, Australia

Hi Geffro of Hawksbury List, Your THOMPSON name has me intrigued and I wonder IF yours might be tied up with mine. William G. THOMPSON b.1857 Newbridge Kildare Ireland, Fa. John (Baron) THOMPSON Captain 4th Royal Irish Dragoons. Mo. Alice or Anne BURTON. WGT was educated at Briwood School and Rugby. It his obitury it mentions a brother, Col. Sir R. THOMPSON K.C.M.G. He came to NZ abt. 1880 married 1896 and had 8 children and died 1928. I have searched for WGTs parents to no avail. Have had a searcher look through Miltary Records with no luck. The name THOMPSON is a bit like SMITH and JONES. I will wait for your reply with baited breath and fingers crossed. Kind Regards from KIWI land where Autum is upon us. Gary gary.park@clear.net.nz
