Bohemia Estate Eastwood

[CitizenSmith]

Hi

Yes - as I said at the beginning of my message, you only get to use this facility if you've already paid for an image - which I had for a couple of the families at Bohemia Estate, Drapers and Smiths - the latter actually being Drapers.

My g grandfather John Livermore and wife Mary 'Polly' Chillystone first had train carriages on their plot of land in Belgrave Road before building their bungalow.  My Nan was Matilda Livermore who married Elias 'Nobby' Loveridge.  My mum remembers having to go to their house on a Saturday to clean on the brass.......  Poor love there would have been loads of the stuff as well.

re: Pickingill-Pettingale-Pickingale

a long shot but a suggestion

traveller famillies had their own names and names they used
with non traveller famillies.

I cann't remember the exact name but: if Pettingale came from
Pettingru (will try and find the correct name) it would be equal to
Smith in Roma language.

Re Sylvia Chillingstone Lamb

The male line of the familly is Lamb-for reasons to me unknown
Lamb married to Gaskin in the 19th centuary changed to Chillingstone
the wife Gaskins grandmothers maiden name and eventually became
Lamb or Chillingstone or Chillingstone lamb depending at what point of time
one looks.
Meshack (Shacky) as a name runs through the familly for quite a few generations.
A Meschack Lamb from Bohemia Chase died in 1st World War.
A Meshack (Shack) Brown, son of Eliza Lamb, born Gaskin married Chillingstone

[sylv57]

the shacky lamb that died in world war 1 .was my dads uncle. then when my dad was born in 1920 like a lot of others in them days was named after the uncle which died .  but chillingstone was dropped and just became lamb
but shacky brown was my dads first cousin
