I just happen to have a copy of the 1901 census for Writtle at home. The writing is quite difficult but the address for the KNIGHT family is cottage no 5 and 7 Horsfrith Park. The farm house is very old and is on the Ongar to Chelmsford road at Radley Green just outside Writtle and Highwood. The name underneath is Old Barns, again a series of farm cottages for the workers. Hope this helps Wendy Writtle Archives >From: ESSEX-UK-D-request@rootsweb.com >Reply-To: ESSEX-UK-L@rootsweb.com >To: ESSEX-UK-D@rootsweb.com >Subject: ESSEX-UK-D Digest V03 #373 >Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003 15:43:51 -0600 > ><< message2.txt >> ><< message5.txt >> ><< message7.txt >> ><< message9.txt >> ><< message11.txt >> ><< message13.txt >> ><< message15.txt >> ><< message17.txt >> ><< message19.txt >> ><< message21.txt >> ><< message23.txt >> ><< message25.txt >> ><< message27.txt >> ><< message29.txt >> ><< message31.txt >> ><< message33.txt >> ><< message35.txt >> _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger

Hi Listers, If anyone has Writtle ancestors then do visit or correspond with the Writtle Archives. They have parish registers, photographs, all the available census returns, information on people and parish magazines amongst much more. An appointment is advised but not necessary and I am sure (for a small donation - never asked for but surely appreciated?) they will be delighted to help you. Their 'Local History Trail', a leaflet, is really enjoyable. I guess it costs around 50pence plus postage but it really opens your eyes to the village homes and shops. It is a beautiful village and may be the biggest in Essex at over 700 acres, it even has the site of King John's Hunting Lodge. Glynis. No Writtle ancestors, sorry to say. ----- Original Message ----- I just happen to have a copy of the 1901 census for Writtle at home.
