I must say to all that attended what a wonderful and enjoyable afternoon it was. so many people turned up from far and wide, so many new connections for people who had given up hope at that "brick wall" :) and lots of phone numbers, emails, and address's swapping hands as well as all those amazing photos, lots of which all bar one were identified.
cannot wait till the next time :D brilliant time had by all.

Just so sad I missed this. Lots of family connections for me list and my Mum & Aunt were both baptised as St Laurences too.
If there is a next time please let me know.
Best wishes

Not sure if her family were travelling folk but Elizabeth (married to John Howard) was born at Eastwood c 1783. Can you help please? Her daughter Elizabeth was born at Hadleigh in 1802.
Thanks

I am so upset I missed this!!! I would have loved nothing more to have met up with family members I have prIbably never met before, so so many names there that are descendants of mine, I so hope there will be another one of these meets x

Hi, Just read your post and wonder if you any information on Edward Flashion Lee and his wife Eliza Cumbers who had spent a lot of time at Eastwood Essex, Eliza was born there in 1886 or there abouts . My Lee family had been living in the area for several years, also Flashions father Edward or Alfred lee cannot find any info of Edward Flashions birth which he said was about 1881, any info would be great, thanks

hi tilly123
its a name I recall but I don't think I have any information on, but I can tell you that this year the meeting will be held on Sunday 7th September 2014 at the same church hall in eastwood (the original link on this thread) so I am pretty sure that that if there is any information, then you could well find out at the meeting, usually there are at least 200 photos that people bring along to share so you never know...... I will try and ask about for you as well. all the best :)

I'm really happy about this, I came to one of the events two years back with my mum and it was lovely for my mum to discover long lost cousins and aunties there. Would love to attend the next event. Kind regards, Lisa
