Nottinghamshire / Re: walker family eastwood hall
« on: Wednesday 25 April 12 19:34 BST (UK)  »
Right!
You have most facts correct, I have been tracing the Walker and Walker-Munro's for 20 years and Ellinor /Eleanore (So many different spellings ) was the daughter of RC Bourne and yes she did marry Alexander Stuart Harington, and yes Mabel was never an orphan, I have never found any records of Ellinor after Alexander died, Susan Davidson was Alexanders brother and the crawford family mentioned was spelled Crawfurd, Mabel did marry E L Munro of Rhinefield she had a 250,000 trust fund when she married and her father left an estate of 120,000 pounds in 1871 so very wealthy family, if anyone has any Questions re the family just ask, so much to tell that I would be writing page after page so anything specific let me know, I intend writing a book on the family and have had help from the living family so anyone want to help in writing it also let me know as I have all the info but never had  time to write it down.

Suffolk / Re: KEYSER of Ipswich

All I can tell you is she was a companion to Mabel Walker-Munro who lived at Rhinefield House in the New Forest, there was a rumour that Helena paid for the redecoration of a church in Lyndhurst Hampshire, Mabel died in 1934  and her husband in 1920 so Helena would have been a companion sometime between these dates also thjat she was buried in Ipswich.

Sussex / Denton Road Eastbourne
« on: Monday 07 January 08 20:10 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find details of a property in Denton Road Eastbourne, I have a hand written piece of paper and the name of the house looks like Cloneevin, I am trying to find the owners of the property between 1900-1935, I can assume that it was a large house as the people I am tracing who rented it from the owners for a 'Summer holiday' were very wealthy and she would take her servants as well.
The name Furlong may come into it somewhere, any help form anyone would be so much apppreciated.

Thanks

Thanks but the 1st thing I did was google, I am trying to find some actual history of the house or if it still exists now, as I mentioned initially I know roughly where it is, my problem is any history about it.

Thanks

I may be wrong but I have come accross the Worthy family in Brockenhurst, I think that the family owned Ober Farm in Brockenhurst, I think this was in the 1800's, I hope I am right about this.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Denton Mead Eastbourne
« on: Sunday 25 November 07 19:56 GMT (UK)  »
Is there anyone who can help me I am trying to trace a house ans the only information I have is that this would have been a house of quality, it was in a road called Denton Road, in a place called
Denton Mead or Meads in Eastbourne, I have the name of the house as what looks like 'Cloneevin' ?? I want to know anything about it, maybe a house number or photo's. I don't know its age but would have been visited in the 1930's by a lady of means who took servants, cooks etc with her, she stayed here in the summer months.
Any help would be appreciated.
