I have ancesters who came from Sutton Courtney

I was born in Tilehurst - does that count? Step son and step daughter both live in Maidenhead.

I lived in Didcot once Berkshire now Oxfordshire ,my husband was evacuated there during the war and the family stayed there,i still have 2 sons who still live there and all my husbands brother,s and sister. In my family tree i am looking for my rellies from Sutton Courtney ,Sutton Wick area.Which untill starting my family tree had no idea that they originated from there,so any Barrett,s out there????? Val

Hi All of my mothers family come from Berkshire does that count. Margaret

My sister lives in Bradfield just outside Reading Sheila

Dorthoy My thoughts exactly! where did this spring from? but gald it has. I live in Sandhurst, which is now Berks, met hubby in Bracknell, he was sitting between the boiler and the cooker in our kitchen, long story! that was 24 yrs ago! Work in one of the secondary school's in Bracknell now, but with little ones. If anyone is willing to sort a get together for the Berks lot I'm for it, but not the organising, useless at anything like that! Kim

Dorothy, Same here, would not attempt the town centre, but there are lot's of places off the M4 junctions. See if there is a response and we go from there, what do you think? Kim

Hi folks Would love to meet up somewhere central-ish. How about picking a date in January, as I think most people are a bit busy in the build-up to Christmas? It would be good to have something to look forward to then. Can I bring a neighbour of mine who is also very interested in family history? Helen (May)

what about bracknell ? good rail , plenty of parking etc hilton hotel or the new pub restaurant on british aerospace old site or the downshire arms nr twin bridges roundabout ?

hi dorothy, i come from bracknell, but in exile since 1990 but family still there and when i get a chance i visit my old dad ,im going there a week tomorrow !

Hi Dorothy That would be easy to find for most people wouldn't it - I think it's still called the Wee Waif - haven't been in for a long time but I've heard it's ok

My Grandma was born in Woolstone and I have ancestors from Uffington, Letcombe Bassett, East Hendred, Lambourn and Wantage. I also have a friend Pam, who's also a member and she grew up in Lambourn, so we may be interested in a meet-up. Do you all know that Pink Diana is organising an Auction in March 2005 for Gaynor's cancer charity, to be held in Newbury, it would be great if lots of members could go along and support the event. Carolyn

I live in Wickham near Hungerford, born and bred berkshire. can I join in?

I'd be quite happy to meet at the Wee Waif or whatever it's called now; I haven't been in there for many years but it's certainly easy to find on the A4.

Hi guys, the auction is March 3rd at Newbury Rugby club but I'm sure we can organise one nearer than that!! Who's picking the date then?

Hi Diana Good to hear from you - are you better now? What will you be auctioning in Newbury?

where have you all gone ?
