Buckinghamshire / Re: BEASLEY of Wooburn

Hello Fairlane,

4th Feb. 1852 Jane daughter of James & Mary Ann BEESLEY of Flackwell Heath age 11w.  The other BEESLEYs seem to be children of Samuel and Mary so I haven't listed them. 

I have ancestors, also living in Flackwell Heath, also had a daughter the same year, also shown in these records but some of their other children were baptised elsewhere.  I wondered if perhaps people just baptised when and where it was most convenient - hope this doesn't offend anyone !!

Regards,

ANYAS

Hello Karen,

The Solomon Ridgley (various spellings) you mention is in my family tree.  The reason I asked about Comfort is that I wondered whether Fairlane was researching the same branch of Beasleys.  I was aware of the marriage but didn't have the detail you have kindly given.  Thank you, every little bit of information makes the puzzle a little more complete.

Regards,

ANYAS

Hello Fairlane,

I should have read your earlier posts more thoroughly!

There are BEESLEYS in the High Wycombe Wesleyan Methodist Circuit Baptism records.  I think one may show a daughter of your James and Mary Ann - would this be of any help?

Hello Fairlane,

Hope I'm not butting in here but I found a James BEESLEY son of James and Margaret BEESLEY, gardener - 6th August 1815 All Saints Parish Church, Great Marlow - any good?

You don't have a Comfort amongst your Beasleys do you?

Regards,

Hello Everyone,

Maidenhead Voices is by Chrissy Rosenthal and Ann Danks and is from the Tempus Oral History Series.  I believe my daughter purchased it on-line from Amazon Books.

One of the things of particular interest to me was the flooding at Ray Park Cottages and punting down the road on builder's planks !  I can just imagine my mother being one of the children to do that. 

Regards,

Hello Abiam, Imber, Lesanne + Everyone,

Not sure if I should be posting under this heading again but it is loosely connected to schools.

Abiam, you were asking for info about Garden Cottages I believe.  I've just had a birthday and my dear daughter bought me a very interesting book called Maidenhead Voices, a book of recollections covering the early 1900s through both World Wars.  Garden Cottages is referred to several times but one of the comments stood out - 'life was tough but so much community spirit'.  Send me a pm is you would like to have more info.

The book also has a section called School and Play and a number of schools are recalled, St. Paul's, East Street, Boyn Hill, St. Luke's, and many more. 

This is a really fascinating book, lots of photographs and for anyone interested in padding out their family history, its a real gem. This is beginning to sound like an advertisement - sorry.

Regards,

ANYAS

Hi Abiam,

I know this doesn't answer your question but thought it might be of use.

William Harding born Oct-Dec qtr. 1859 2c 366 Cookham.  There is also a death in Jul-Sep. qtr. 1861 2c 224 Cookham.

May not be your William Harding though.

Hi Lesanne + Abiam,

Thank you for the info - have looked at Multimap and found the Ray Park area. Each little piece of new information makes more and more sense for me.  I feel a bit of a fraud really as the family only arrived in Maidenhead in 1890 but perhaps that still qualifies us as an 'old Maidenhead family'!!  The two sides originally came from Bucks and Oxon.


Going back to the original thread on schools - I still hope to follow up on school logs and admissions registers as I am told they can be a source of great interest.

This is all so fascinating, I am spending way too much time on the pc !

Thanks again.

ANYAS

Hello Lesanne and everyone,

I have been following all the posts about Cordwallis and Denmark Street with great interest.  I decided to have a look at my Mother's birth certificate and it seems that she was born at No. 15 Cordwallis Road (not Street ?) but I know that she lived in 2 Ray Park Cottages in the early 1920s.  Can anyone tell me anything about Ray Park Cottages please ?
