Hi Glynis, I too would love to see the photo's of Woodstock. My great uncle Thomas Henry Lymer lived in Selborne Road in the 1920's with his wife Nina and three daughters whose names I do not know. He was born in London but emigrated in about 1897. His daughters were born about 1908,1910 and 1912. I know they all married but I have been unable to trace records for them. If anyone has come across the surname Lymer in Woodstock I would love to hear from you. I have photo's of the family.

In the meantime, I will send you the post card from my collection.

I would absolutely *love* to have copies of your pictures and postcards. Thank you so much for such a kind offer. What is the "Woodstock Whisperer"? I have an as-yet-unconfirmed-100% connection to Woodstock, but my "gut" is telling me that the connection is real, and I just have to prove it. I'm pretty sure that it is where my husband's paternal grandmother was born in 1887 - her father being Robert WATERS, a carpenter, living in Gibbons / Adams cottages, just off Victoria Street! He died, only 42, in Adams Cottages in 1893. So, whenever you have the time, I'll be so very happy to have copies. Thank you again.

Hi Geoff, Thanks for replying. Yes I have these papers, they relate to a plot of land my great uncle owned and the application for a loan to build a house on it. He did this in Selborne Road and called the house 'Lewisham' which was the suburb of London he lived in before leaving for S. Africa. It was from these papers that I got his wife's name, unfortunately they didn't give the daughters names. These papers hold the only reference to the Lymers that I have managed to find. Thanks so much for your trouble though.
