Hail Weston,St. Neots

[cupcake]

Good morning,

It has been a few years since I was RootsChat.  Can anyone please help me with any information on a Stanley P KIDMAN who had "Pastures Farm" at Hail Weston, St. Neots. I have lost all contact with the family.

Regards

Are you talking about the Stanley Partridge KIDMAN born 22 April 1908 and died 21 Nov 1970? What information are you looking for in particular?

Probate granted 3 May 1972 - says he was "of Pastures Farm Hail Weston Huntingdonshire"

He appears in the 1911 census with his parents Percy and Gertrude and siblings at Biggleswade.

Thank you for prompt reply.

Yes, that is the Stanley P Kidman. Stanley was my mother's brother. I am looking for any information regarding his family and whether the Farm is still there, or perhaps now a haulage company.  He had a son, Graham and Daughter Christine who lived near the farm.
Any information would be very much appreciated.

I can't seem to get access to the Family Search.

Family search is free to search, however you have to register (free).

It appears Pastures Farm was for sale in 2012:

You can find it on google maps - bit hard to tell if it is still a farm

Stanley P KIDMAN married Barbara B R WRIGHT in 1929 at Biggleswade. I can see 3 children including the 2 you mention born to this couple registered at Biggleswade on FreeBMD: 1931, 1933 and 1936 (hesitant to put their names in case they are still living). Though they don't seem to be the children living at Pastures Farm with Stanley and Barbara in 1939.

There are 2 children born 1930 and 1935 with Stanley and Barbara KIDMAN and family in 1939 - I think they are the children of Charles W KIDMAN and Rose M STONEBRIDGE (who married in Islington in 1927).

Thank you so much for the information regarding Pastures Farm. Sad to hear it was up for sale and, not able to tell my mother, Stanley's sister. Perhaps the son and daughter have passed.

Barbara Taylor looks to be the daughter of John Thomas Taylor (1906-1981) and Kathleen May Sanders (1911-1982). Barbara can be found in 1939 with her parents in Cranfield.

James William Payne looks to be the son of Edward William Jabez Payne (1913-1985) and Vera May Pope (1914-1999). James can be found in 1939 with his parents in St Neots.

There's some likely looking electoral registers for James and Christine, in St Neots, between 2002 and 2015.
