Part of my problem solved as company contacted me recently as they were trying to trace relatives so very excited as they will let me have all info they have gathered. It has enabled me to track further relatives and found Ruth to be living in Oldham before she died. Thanks to everyone for their help

Lewis, Rivers, Phillips, Hind

I am in the researching my family tree and was wondering if anyone had memories of my family. Some lived in Eton Wick.

My family moved from South Wales to Slough about 1913. My great grandmother was Jemima Lewis. My grandmother Eva married my grandfather in Langley Marish church, her sister Miriam married John Rivers, three children Ivor, Doreen and Robert. Hilda married Albert Hind and they had a child George. Hilda later married Stephen Phillips. I believe that Hilda and Steve lived on Uxbridge Road, her brother Ivor had a daughter Ann.

I would love to know more about the family. They may have been involved working in nurseries around the area. Does anyone know if there were nurseries? Would be grateful to hear from anyone that remembers or has stories about any of these people.

reply from George Hind's daughter Dec 2015-  From Eton Wick family history website Berkshire www.etonwickhistory.co.uk - guestbook - HILDA PHILLIPS son George Hind (deceased 2010). He married Sylvia in 1971, had 2 daughters & lived in Slough all his life. Hilda Lewis (Hind/Phillips) did indeed live at 228 Uxbridge Rd Slough. Parts of Slough came under the Eton registration district.

Hilda & Stephen Phillips worked for Joseph Rochford & Sons Ltd which I believe was an agricultural nursery. I believe the cottages they lived in came with the job & the company was owned by Viscount Sidmouth. I remember Ivor & Mary Jane living a few doors away along Uxbridge Rd. Hilda married Stephen Phillips in St Mary's church Langley Marish Buckinghamshire  5th April 1947.

Stephen lived at 236 Uxbridge Rd.Bert Hind - Hilda's 1st husband died 27th March 1943 aboard the HMS Dasher (good book The tragedy of the HMS Dasher by John Steele). Jemima Yemm is buried in Stoke Rd Cemetery Slough burial reg no 1333 section NC no of grave 864 paid for 25th April 1944 £3 three shillings by Thomas George Lewis of 228 Uxbridge Rd.

I believed Doreen lived in central Slough until her death. Dad always said she had a family bible with a family tree in the front which my nan had for a while but I have no idea where it is now.  I also heard rumours that Hilda was a twin & her sister had died as a child? I hope this information is of some help to you.

also remember cousins with the surname Thomas - a Glynis Thomas? with a daughter Sarah Thomas born 1970's? & some with the surname Morgan maybe an Mr M Morgan? & family - i believe they lived on the Wexham Court estate in Slough Berkshire (Upton Lea?)or near there near where Hilda Phillips lived - not sure if they were Hilda's family or one of her husbands relatives. Try SLOUGH (or some of the records came under Eton as the registration district until the 1970's) if you cannot find Berkshire try Buckinghamshire as the county borders moved. nearest library for electoral roll & records is Slough Library, 85 High Street, SLOUGH tel 01753 535166 www.slough.gov.uk/libraries

Hi sarah

I have sent you a pm I think with my email address as yes we are on about the right family. George your father was my mother's first cousin.

You may have got the name Morgan as that was my mother's maiden name and they lived in a place called Manmoel. My grandmother, Eva was Hilda's sister.

When I was young I knew all of your family. I would love to share more info with you.  Can you tell me your mother's maiden name.

regards

Gill
