The picture is of St Michael's church, Yorktown, Surrey. It must have been taken before 1930 when the road in the right hand corner foreground was lowered some ten to fifteen feet to level the hill making it safer for the growing number of motor vehicles!!

Hi everyone, There is a fair amount of evidence that my surname (Loveland) was from Worplesdon in Surrey, though they went to the Colonies long ago. Is anyone else researching in the Worplesdon area?

Ann,

This is a super list. The links to the various archives, societies, etc work very well and quickly.

I think I will be using this web site a lot from now on.

Good Morning list,
I have just registered with Genealogy Wise, after reading about it in Family History Monthly. I am therefore finding my feet, but thought joining the Lincs group, the county of my maternal ancestors, a good first move.

My father's family came from Reigate. For about 100 years, the family was in business as brick and pottery makers in Earlswood. Dad used to tell me that the family was from Mitcham. I have some evidence to that effect, but the combination of fairly scanty Mitcham records, and the surname BROWN, are making proving this out a tad difficult.

My grail is finding more about the brick-making business. I am getting there slowly, and have lots of information, some photographs, but no contact with the descendants of the brick-makers themselves.

Looking for the parents of Christopher Buller and he was born circa 1763. He had his slop shop on Tooley Street in Bermondsey and lived on Bermondsey Street and Long Lane between 1795 and 1832. His first wife was Mary Beard and his second wife Jane . His son Henry Christopher Buller (born 30 January 1805 Bermondsey Street and baptized 24 Feb 1805 St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey) was my 2x great grandfather. Anyone researching the Buller family?

Is anyone able to distnguish the many Frederick Fishers in Lambeth/Southwark from each other. One, sometimes Frederick Charles, was a painter and lived intermittently at 5 St Masry's Lane/St Lambeth in or about the mid 1920s. You'd be amazed how many FCFs and still more FFs turn up in the same time period.
