I understand that Li Howell ran, or helped to run, the Hunters Inn around the second world war. She had a child called Gerry, and they left to live in London with Fred Keightley. I am tracing the Keightley family tree and would like to find out more about her and Fred if possible. Many thanks, Liz Posted on Aug 12, 2006, 5:18 PM Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Waltons in Wymondham by I am searching for information about the Waltons in Wymondham. My ancestors descended from Daniel Walton born in Wymondham in 1786. I know only that he died in the Melton Mowbray workhouse later in life. His son, William Walton, married Jane Stafford and their child, Susanna was my gtgrandmother. I am hoping to confirm my suspicions that Daniel and Anne had at least 4 children - Eleanor, Jane, Page and William as it suggests from the 1841 census. Any help would be appreciated and if you're a Walton, I cetainly would like to hear from you! My mother remembers visting a Clifford Walton who was supposedly her cousin when she lived in Leicestershire. Perhaps someone knows who he was and what his exact connection was!

Mary Walton bp 16 Dec 1816 Jane Walton bp 15 Mar 1820 Thomas Walton bp 2 Jun 1822 Ann Walton bp 6 Jul 1823 William Walton bp 30 Jul 1825 Eleanor Walton bp 26 Oct 1828 He is always classed as a labourer, and I cannot find a marriage for William and Ann.

I am led to believe that my Great Uncle Edgar Bartram (who married Amy Royce)and my Great Uncle Arthur Bartram (never married) lived in Wymondham around 1935. Edgar, I believe, lived in Wymondham Lodge and Arthur in some cottages (I think Arthur died in 1948 and is buried in Wymondham). I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the above or can give me any more information. Thank you.

I believe we may be related as my grandmother was Mary Ann Bartram of Sewstern and had five brothers , two of which were named Edgar and Arthur. There are several headstones to Bartrams in Buckminster churchyard. I hope this may be of some interest to you. Linda Green.

Still miss my Grandparents Steve and Vera Taylor.

I believe the George Hickman you refer to is my Grand Uncle. I have information on George's ancestors, but I'm afraid I have nothing on his descendants. If you are interested you can contact me on the above email address and perhaps we may be able to help each other out.
