What a lovely thread :-)

Morning Sylvia,

Hope you are feeling a bit cooler today.

I am prepping a casserole for tea cleaning and making cakes :-D
Its not too cold here but we have that awful drizzle and damp.

Barry,

I don't think I remember the name Fitzgibbon, sorry.

I am managing to keep reasonably cool but am not looking forward to the night as I don't like the air conditioner on in the bedroom and, last night it was 30C all night.

Sylvia :-)

Hello again,

Barry, I think the Naze is called that because there is a piece of land(actually called the Naze) which juts out and is shaped a bit like a nose and it has got changed over the years to naze. That is what I have always believed anyway.Can you tell me the name of anyone you remember from the 50s because I knew most people then, I worked in the Post Office at Walton.

Bridget,my Grandmother's single name was Hooper and she married Herbert Lambert. It would be interesting if we were connected in some way, but, somehow, I don't think we are.

It is very hot here again but I am OK with the air conditioning'

have a nice day everyone.

See you later,

Sylvia

Please do not forget to read your personal message which I sent to you re a possible connection.

Annabell, the world is very small, I was born not far from Leytonstone and know it very well.

Bridget who know lives in Spain

Hi Sylvia

I remember you, had a son who lives out my way Gosnell,

I live in Maddington I come from Oxfordshire and have been a member of GR since 2003, my friend who lives in Parkwood comes from Leytonstone, yes we are having some hot weather 42c yesterday and more days of 40 or more to come, stay cool and drink plenty of fluid.

cheers Annabel

Barry,
If you google for Walton on Naze Essex you will find a great deal of history re Walton and dozens of wonderful photos, I am sure that you will find it very interesting.

Bridget

As promised I have looked at my tree on Ancestry and found quite a few Hoopers so I will send a PM to you.
Wouldn't it be fun if we are connected in some way?? :-D

Best wishes

Bridget in Spain

Sylvia
I am off now to look at my tree to see if I have Alice Hooper, was that her maiden name or marriage name?

Will be back asap.

Helo Sylvia

I do hope that you are coping with the hot weather. The air temp at home here in Australind was 40c today.

OH and myself are leaving tomorrow for a few days in Albany where it is forecast to be a bit cooler.

Take care of yourself

Kind Regards

Allan

Hello Bridget, Puss and Teresa and all my other friends.I am sorry I haven't been on here for a few days. I went to see my son and his family on Sunday and they asked me to stay for a day or two,so thought I would and it is nice where they live, up in the Hills, outside Perth. It is so hot here at the moment 42C and it might even get hotter but it is a bit cooler in the Hills. I always go prepared to stay but never have before.

I wouldn''t have been living in Walton when you were there Bridget as we came to Australia in 1974.I notice that you are researching ancestors in Mere, Wilts. My Grandmother came from Mere. Her name was Alice Hooper, not a relation of yours, I suppose.

I have to get tea now, so will say Goodbye for now. See you all again soon.

Hello and good morning from Bridget who lives in Spain and moved from Frinton on Sea before moving to Spain. First we had a house in Walton on Naze as a holiday house and then moved to Frinton about 20 years ago.
I have read all the threads and you have many old friends pleased to see you back,
Bridget :-D

Hello sylvia i think ive come back too but only for the 6 months just to go over my tree again, sorry about your husband, hope they all make you feel welcome again everyone seems really friendly xxxxxpuss xx

Hi Sylvia,

Hope all is well with you today :-)

Teresa :-D

Thanks Jude and Fred. It is good to be back. I enjoy all your Emails Fred, but I don't think I have had any lately. I've just thought, I changed my Email address recently so perhaps that is why. I will send you an Email with the new address on.I hope you and your family are well.

I must get myself some tea now, see you later.
