Presumably their lands bordered each other, or possibly belonged to each at different times. I don't know offhand if the Schreibers (Hengehurst) owned Engham in the nineteenth century......perhaps John or Gary knows? Engham is sometimes spelled Ingham. There are two 'Enghams' though. Great Engham and Little Engham (or Ingham!). Hope this helps, Josie
Good Evening Josie The 1937 auction prospectus naturally lists the properties that were part of the Hengherst Estate. I think I used this source when I wrote chapter 6 of Then & Now. I see that on page 75 I have listed Little Engeham as part of the estate but not Great Engeham. There are of course (in modern times) both Great Engeham Farm and Little Engeham Farm. I hope this helps Cheers - Jon -----Original Message----- From: eng-ken-woodchurch-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-ken-woodchurch-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Josie Mackie Sent: 19 August 2007 17:37 To: eng-ken-woodchurch@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-KEN-WOODCHURCH] Message to the Woodchurchlist: Prior/Pryer/Pryor/Baker/Burden/Schreiber > William Baker (1784-1867) was a farmer and the 1841 Census has him at > Great Engham.
