Nottinghamshire / Re: Looking for Mary Becher's death/burial date
« on: Saturday 01 January 05 21:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Laverdiere.

Mary BECHER was the sister of my 4th GGrandmother, Bridget BECHER, who married Sherbrooke LOWE.

Of the 9 BECHER children, Mary was one of the few children who didn't marry one of her cousins, the LOWE's.

Mary is also the grand aunt of Robert LOWE, who became Viscount Sherbrooke.

I would be interested to learn of any BECHER research you have made, as I have their Irish lineage back to 1500's, and further, their Flemish roots back to early 1300's, including Sir Sanchet d'Abrichecourt , a Knight Founder of the Order of the Garter.

Nottinghamshire / BECHER, LOWE & SHERBROOKE Families, of Oxton Hall, Southwell, Notts
« on: Wednesday 27 October 04 11:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have any connections, or references to these families:

BECHER, LOWE & SHERBROOKE

The SHERBROOKEs occupied OXTON HALL, Southwell, Nottingham from approx 1566 - 1900.

There was considerable inter-marriage between the families, and also a connection, by marriage, to a HANSON family, of Besthorpe, Notts.

Regards
Simon

Hi Jill

It's great to read that you have visited the Hall.
I agree that your visits would have heightened your interest in the story of Katherine.
How wonderful to have been in the house where she had lived.
Do you recall that it was a large building?
The Church, I understand, is across the road from the Hall?


Hi Julie

Thanks for that link.
I have explored that site before, and gleaned some useful information.
Sadly, I received no reply to emails I sent to the e-address.

Regards to you both.

Hi Jonathan:
Thanks for your query.
My info on my Waddingtons in Lincs isn't as late as 1923, as my ancestors came here to New Zealand, but I am interested in tracing the lines of their sibling's children.
You don't have anything further on James Waddington's parents do you?
Whereabouts in Lincolnshire?


Hi Bob:
Thanks for those links.
I've trawled through the various search engines for new info on Kettlethorpe Hall.
The first one you mention is actually in Yorkshire, same name, different location, but a very charming boathouse, retaining the medieval facade of Wakefield Chantry Chapel.

The 2nd reference is the one I'm seeking more info about.

Cheers
Simon

Lincolnshire / Waddington Family of Kettlethorpe Hall, Kettlethorpe, Lincs.

Hi.
Would anyone please have access to any information on Kettlethorpe Hall?
My WADDINGTON family ancestors lived there approx 1800-1850.
I believe they farmed the land & lived in the Hall.
It is presently owned by Rt. Hon. Douglas Hogg, QC, MP., Viscount Hailsham, & his wife Baroness Hogg of Kettlethorpe.
It was where Katherine Swynford (later wife of John of Gaunt) spent some of her years. It has been rebuilt several times since then, I understand.
Any Waddington family from that area are most welcome to make contact too.
Many thanks.
Simon
