Hi all sorry I haven't put the next batch of names up yet but I have just had another 2 deaths in my family. This makes 5 so far this year, 3 in the UK & 2 here in the USA. I have another batch nearly ready to post so it will be very soon. Also how's this for luck, my birthday was on Sunday 28th Aug, my wedding anniversary is on the same day. At 9am that morning we heard of Commander Herbert Hutch had died, the wife's Tio ( Uncle in Mexico where they all come from ), and at 21:10 we heard they had found my wife's brother George Rey Mera had been found dead at his apartment. He died a few days before he was found. Now I have to clear and remove 50 years of his life as he lived alone and my wife is his only sibling. All this in 80 - 90 degree's F of heat. One good thing there is loads of photo's covering 3 generations to sort through and loads of Elvis memorabilia.

Thank you Jean and everyone else for your helpful comments, and Ann is right, shouldn't be discussing it here.

I live in New Addington, a 'new town' just up the road from the village of Addington, which is still very small, although there is now a nearby tram/bus interchange. There are houses, a grassed park and the grounds of Addington Palace which once housed the Royal School of Church Music, and before that it was the country palace of the Archbishops of Canterbury, some of which are buried in the churchyard. There is a police station and a pub which used to be called 'The Cricketers'.  There is still a cricket club - in fact it was recently mentioned in the news because they brought on a (I think) Pakistani international player who had been banned from first class cricket for ball tampering or some such!   I am sure the cricket club would be interested in the bat you mention and will pass your comments on.   Linda --- On Thu, 1/9/11, Adele <[email protected]> wrote: From: Adele <[email protected]> Subject: [SRY] Cricket...

ADDINGTON. one of the oldest cricket bats in existence, circa 1743. It is like a hockey stick, curved.. has Addington got a Cricket Club my friends?  It was mentioned about a small village named Addington, I said wont be so small these days, just out of Croydon. so any of the subscribers in the vicinity of Wellington, or are due to visit, even for the CUP. Rugby, please pay a visit to this wonderful museum and see this lovely ancient bat!  Adele *************************************** Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies.

Hi Jan and John, Thank you for your input Jan but I believe that Eleanor at least and probably both left school at age 12, so I doubt they would have attended a secondary school. John your help was truly appreciated as I had no idea where number 13 in Abbey Street would have been in situated, so you've really set me on the right track, turned me right around in fact. Unfortunately although I have a copy of "An Index of London Schools and their Records" by Cliff Webb, as he previously mentioned, now knowing of Riley Street School I was able to look it up but found that only Admission and Discharge records from 1934-1939 (Junior Girls) are available at the LMA, so unluckily for me Eleanor would have turned 12 in about 1930 and Gwyneth probably in 1932 so I miss out there. John can you tell me if that end of Abbey Street was mostly shops or private housing. Their mother ran a small cafe at number 13, and they lived there also, their father was a chimney sweep.

Discussion about a newspaper site has developed well beyond genealogy and Surrey. Please don't continue the Anti Virus discussion here. As already mentioned by one of the respondents, all internet users need to have a reliable anti-virus programme and spyware programme(s) installed, and keep it/them regularly updated then there should never be such worries. Such programmes should be updated at least daily. For anyone wishing to discussion basic "housekeeping" such as AV software etc there is a Rootsweb Gnealogical Computing Tips Mailing List, see: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Genealogical_Computing/GEN-COMP-TIPS.html Topic: A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding basic computer operating tips and trouble shooting guidelines for genealogy researchers.

Hi Cathy, I'm afraid I cannot remember what that side of the street was like before it was redeveloped in the late 50s / early 60s, although I remember the Abbey Buildings tenements opposite.

Hi Al and all I have a slight interest in the name Waterer My gt gt gt grandmother was Mary Varnden who married James Douglass Her sister Ann Varnden married William Waterer on 3.10.1797 at Hampton, Middlesex Ann died in 1822 and William in 1852, both in Chertsey (former aged 47, latter aged 77) I am not 100% but if I have the right William then in 1851 he was in the Chertsey Union Workhouse This entry shows him as aged 77 and born in Leatherhead Again I am not totally certain but William and Ann may have had up to 5 children in Send, Chertsey and Woking between 1807 and 1822 A number of papers relating to the Varnden family are in my possession including some property deals with William Waterer (who was a labourer) This may or may not be of interest to you Regards Bob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Al Holmes Sent: 31 August 2011 21:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SRY] SRY etc. Newpaper clippings As I have used this site for many stories of my Waterer family, and have never had any problems with it.
