Dear edschofield10,

Are you descended from Enos’s son William and are you still living in the New Forest area?  We have found descendants of Enos’s two daughters.  My husband is a descendant of Abraham, Enos’s brother.

To JLSHER,

I am a the great grandson of Charlotte. Enos’s daughter. My grandfather who’s enos’s grandson is actually named after him, ‘Peter Enos James Richer’. Peter is still alive and well, he never knew where the name Enos came from until I found out about Enos Esau Sherwood using ancestry. Peter didn’t know anything about his family because, as we know. Charlotte and her siblings were orphans.

I am trying to find out information about the Wells family too. My great grandfather was sent out from the New Forest as a ten year old by himself to Australia as part of England’s child migrant scheme around 1910. His name was Reginald but my aunty said that was likely a name the authorities gave him. He was very musical and soft-spoken like my grandfather.

This is Chris Parsons and I married Veronica Richer. Charlotte was her aunt and I met her too. Remember Veronica to Peter. We were in Suffolk and now in Cornwall. Veronica knew the family history as a child and we have a picture of Enos and Veronica's Mum phoebe with her Veronica's brother Patrick who is still alive and sister who has died.

We know Enos died of wounds in 1916 and his wife Sara(h) died of the flu in 1919.

To Rubert123,

Thankyou so much for replying and giving us information about Veronica and Patrick. So sorry that Veronica is no longer with us. I have just spoken to my grandfather, Peter, and he is chuffed that Patrick is still alive and if possible, when covid is all over, he would love to meet him. Apparently they were always together when they were younger, climbing trees, they even fell down a well together, soldiers even pinned them down and painted both of them aha. I would love to see the photo you have of Enos aswell. If it’s the the photo of him in his military uniform then we already have that photo.

Thankyou, oh, and by the way I’m peters grandson not great grandson . My email is ^(*) if you’d like to talk more directly .

Eddie Schofield.

Dear Eddie

So good to hear from you. It was Beryl who died. I am married to Veronica. All Beryl's family live in Swindon ( she had five children) and Patrick lives in Dorset ( he had 6 children). It is the same photo. It's the only one. We have a photo of Enos brother and other info we've found. I see they have removed your email. I am a vicar at Kenwyn with St Allen near Truro. Take a look at a Church near you (if you see what I mean).

Best wishes

Chris
