MAUNDERS of Leighton Buzzard

[prof.moriarty]

Hello, this is my first post here, I just found your thread whilst searching for Maunders info!

My nan, Iris Moriarty, was born Maunders and as far as I know she has lived her whole life in Edlesborough and the villages.

I found some great photos on Eaton Brays council website, showing Maunders blokes on cricket teams in the 1940's and 1950's. Im sure they are all known to my nan and Im waiting to hear who they are in relation to her, they are named as Dennis, Basil and Alec who in 1952 all look to be in their 50s or 60's and Derek, who looks about 10 years old.

Heres the link, i think there were three relevant photos in the set,  http://www.eatonbray.co.uk/photoalbum/photo33.html

I would be grateful if someone could provide me with details of the family of Alfred George Maunders who was born in Leighton Buzzard in 1884.

Alfred was my great grandfather and I understand that he was a chauffeur for Lord Brownlow. 

Did Lord Brownlow have an estate in Leighton Buzzard?

  Hi

  The Estate was not in Leighton Buzzard but took over a large area boardering Herts/ Beds & Bucks.
  There is a bit about the family and estate here but a little later than maybe your Alfred.

  www.edlesborough.gov.uk/community/brownlow/brownlow_estate.htm

 hope that works!

  Lord Brownlow had his own private waiting room at Berkhampstead station
 and there is a Brownlow B&B in Ivinghoe. The Brownlow Estate house was at Ashridge House and is a great area to spend time walking in.

  Find out more for yourself there is loads out there..... just google
  Lord Brownlow at Ivinghoe and see what comes up .

   Best Wishes

Hi,

I have just seen the messages.  My Grandfather was Arthur Maunders, and my great uncle was Sidney Maunders, and my Grandmother was Vera Maunders, Their daughter Betty Maunders was my mother.  Arthur, Sidney and Vera all worked on the Brownlow Estate at Ashridge and lived in
Ringshall.  My Grandmother was Lady in Waiting to Lady Brownlow, and Arthur and Sidney were
gardeners.  Emily Maunders also lived in Ringshall and was in Service, also Maud Maunders who lived in Berkhamsted.

Hope this is of interest

Hello, I'm trying to find info on my paternal grandmother Maud frances Maunders she lived in Hemel or nearby & married Horace Saunders in early 1900's. I have the Saunders family tree but also have a Maunders relation who was in the rifle brigade. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi Kaylay.....

First thing you need are some dates to start from so......

Louisa M F Maunders married Horace Saunders  in Watford registration district in 1923.
Louisa was born in 1894 in Lambeth her mother's maiden name was Jones.
Father Charles mother Mary Ann.

Cannot see a connection to the Bedfordshire ones yet.

Thank you for info. That's a good start. I need to join an ancestry site I guess & pay to view certificates. I'm new to this. I have my grandfather Horace's family tree back to 1610 ( not done by me). I think maybe it's more problematic to trace the females.

Hi..

This site is free  www.freebmd.org.uk
 Births deaths and marriages can be searched.

This one is also free to search but you have to register then if you wish you can download the certificate as a pdf.
 www.gro.gov.uk
 This site will give you the mother's maiden name
