Hi SA
You don't happen to have a photograph of her do you? The local history group in Woburn are looking for one.

Gloucestershire / WARMAN of Stroud
« on: Monday 10 December 18 10:40 GMT (UK) »
Currently researching EDGAR LESLIE WARMAN (1880-1918) son of William WARMAN, Solicitor of Stroud (?-1909)
Edgar attended Bradfield College, then owned a brewery for three years in Newport Pagnell, Bucks. He married Glencora HAMILTON in Oct 1914 at Southsea, Bournmouth.
Died 8th August 1918, serving with Royal Marines Artillery.
I have Census, Newspapers, War Record etc, but am hoping to find any WARMAN relatives who may know about his life.

The Buckingham Express, 18th June 1881:
“WAVENDON ODDFELLOWS FEAST.— On Monday last, the members of the ‘Henry Hugh Arthur Hoare' Lodge. M.U., held their annual festival at the Plough Inn. Wavendon. Some sixty persons sat down to dinner, amongst them the farmers and landowners of the parish. The Dunstable Brass Band (Fourth Beds. Volunteers), conducted by Mr. G. Franklin attended at an early hour. The repast provided by Mr. Walter Harrald, the host, was one of unusual liberality. There was a round of beef weighing 40 pounds or more, a sirloin of beef of 29 pounds, two legs of pork (home-fed) of 18 pounds each, legs of mutton of the choicest quality, with plum puddings and pastry in extreme abundance. The meet was supplied by Mr. Benford, of Fenny Stratford, and Mr. Wm. Facer, of Wavendon. The pork was from a good fat pig killed by Mr. Bonner of the village. The sick and general fund shows a balance of £416 0s. 3d; the management fund, £47 16s. 9d.; total worth of the lodge is £488 17s. This includes £50, an absolute loan, brought forward from year to year. It would be a gracious act of the trustees if this sum were utterly obliterated from the minds of the members and their friends', for it only by reflection mars the happiness of many associated with the club, and it must be received as an absolute loss. One member only has been made during the year, five have left by non-payment, and one by clearance. The morning was beautifully fine, but at noon a thunderstorm broke over the district and the usual visit of the members and the band to their liberal patrons was limited to a few only. All went well and happily; there was no breach of the peace. An extra hour, accorded on no previous occasion, was granted to Mr. Harrold, and amid the gratified plaudits of the villagers, the band separated from them with the good old piece of music 'Auld Lang Syne.' ”

Hi John
I am researching the Plough Inn at Wavendon and came across this posting. I know the Harralds were only there c.January 1880 to c. August 1882, but if you have any more info about them, I would be pleased to know it.
I will go and see if there is a grave for her at Wavendon.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Transcription of a doc at LMA required
« on: Thursday 30 August 18 11:30 BST (UK) »
I am looking for someone who uses LMA archives to look at an original document for me.
An Insurance cert for Fenny Stratford, in Bucks, in the name of: "Richard Garner, Fenny Stratford, Buckinghamshire, victualler". Reference CLC/B/192/F/001/MS11936/334/515393.
I don't think this is available digitally from Ancestry. Please correct me if that's wrong, and I will visit my local library and pull it from there.
A photo would be great, but just a full transcription would suffice. Is anyone going soon for research?
