Rawding obituary

[paulineormerod]

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look in the Peterborough library archive of newspapers to see if they could find an obituary for Leonard Joseph Rawding who died between July and September of 1996. I'm having problems finding anything out about him or about his son Victor Leonard and I'd be most grateful for any help.
Many thanks, Pauline

Hello Pauline

I would think that you would have more chance of success asking this on the Northamptonshire board.  There was only ever one Lincs parish (Crowland) in the Peterborough district.

Many thanks, Geoff, I'll do that. The only bits I'd found about the Rawdings were in Lincolnshire and ny brain had moved Peterborough over the border !
Best wishes, Pauline

When I was a small child we had next door neighbours in West Pinchbeck called Rawding. Starlode Drove was the address.

I can a sky my parents their first names if its of any use.

Best wishes, Pauline

Hi Pauline, I've just joined the site and I saw your message. I see it's a year old now, but I am a Rawding and descendent of the Rawdings in Starlode Drove, West Pinchbeck, Spalding, LINCS mentioned by the guy above. Let me know if I can help you

We lived in the other side of a semi to the Rawdings at Starlode drove.

I was only three, but I remember they had two sons and a daughter.

Probably my dad's uncle George, and his wife Alice.

Granddad and Nan lived in the West with my Dad, till they moved to Morton.

Where are you?

Hi Scouser,
I guess, from your name that we originate from the same county ! I live in Rossendale, about 25 miles north of Manchester. Thank you for your offer of help I've been trying for ages to trace the Rawdings for a good friend, Mark Rawding who lives in Rossendale. I've met so many brick walls as it appears that both his father and grandfather married twice and in both cases the people in the second family knew nothing about the first marriage ! His parents died when he was 12 and he had no information about their backgrounds at all. It's made it very complicated. However, I've amassed quite a lot of information and drawn up a tree. I'd be grateful if you would have a look at it and see if your branch fits in anywhere. My e-mail address is pandpormerod@hotmail.com If you would e-mail me I'll send the tree as a j.peg and hopefully the information will help your research too.
Best wishes, Pauline
