Dear Linda
Ken has just come round having got my note. He is so excited about finding Charlie Kilgour! He would very much like to write to you but, as you can understand, is not into computers. I wonder if you could write to me on my home e-mail - (*)

Hello Linda
They are either not up yet (only quarter to nine here) or they are away on holiday. I have put a note through the door.

Hello Linda
It was such a lovely surprise to hear from you. My neighbour who was your Dad's friend in the war does not have a computer so I am going to print out your message and belt up the road to give it to him.
Watch this space.

Dear Buzz
I am aware that I am replying to the wrong message but it is very late and I am too sleepy to read the instructions properly! I just wanted to comment on your entry about William Winkworth of Brentford who was born in Hampshire - I believe this to be William Winkworth baptised 24 Sept 1791 in Combe, son of Job Winkworth. I am pretty sure he is my ancestor because in 1861 he was staying with his nephew, Robert Winkworth of Egham, still a shoemaker and still unmarried. I can't find him on the 1871 census and there is a death of a William Winkworth of the right age in Brentford in 1868. I don't know if this helps at all.
Kind regards
Balfour

The Common Room / The Shepherds in Stoke sub Hamdon

Dear Guy
I am interested in the local history of our village of Stoke sub Hamdon. The other day I was looking at the stained glass window donated by Katherine Shepherd's sisters. I found her grave, and that of her husband, in the churchyard but there were no children mentioned and I wondered if there were any, and whether perhaps Katherine's sisters looked after them on the death of their father in 1884.
After a bit of detective work on the internet, I discovered that there were four children and their Aunt Josephine kindly took all of them in. This led me to E B S Shepherd, the architect, and F H S Shepherd, the artist, and then to Gertrude who married Sir Charles Reed Peers and wrote "The Saints in Story."
This is nothing at all to do with my own family history, but I have become interested in them all and would love to know more about them.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Merchant Navy Mate Lost
« on: Sunday 23 May 10 20:47 BST (UK) »
An 85 year old neighbour of mine was in the Merchant Navy during the 2WW with Charlie Kilgour of 124 Hilltown, Dundee. They were great friends but were assigned to different ships and lost touch with each other. According to a letter from his father (Charles Kilgour Senior) he was on a tanker. I can't find any record of Charlie's death during the War.
I would very much like to reunite the two friends if Charlie is still living.
Can anybody help or point me in the right direction of where to look?
Charlie's contact address in 1944 was
A.275780
SS Frumenton
R Chapman & Son
Maritime Buildings
Newcastle on Tyne, EC1

An 85 year old neighbour of mine was in the Merchant Navy during the 2WW with Charlie Kilgour of 124 Hilltown, Dundee. Charlie's father was also called Charles. I can't find any record of Charlie's death during the War, even though he was on a tanker which was apparently very dangerous if attacked by submarines.
I wonder if this Kilgour family is known to you. I would very much like to reunite the two friends if Charlie is still living.
Thank you.
