Whereabouts in England do you come from?

[Osweo]

My paternal family center was in Addington, Buckinghamshire, [/IMG]

Not too far from my Elizabeth Graham in Oakley... any relation?

Because all these northern slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags

Ekh:

Cruel fate...

But are you in that bit of it that is in Middlesex, or the chunks that are in the bounds of Kent and so on?

Devil take 'Greater London'.

And 'Greater Manchester', 'Merseyside', 'Humberside' and 'Tyne and Wear', for that matter!

I dont understand what you mean.

It used to be Kent so I chose that option.

My gr gr gr gr gran was called Joanna Kench, which might JUST come from 'Kentish'. She was from Oxfordshire, though.

Isn't Bristol in Gloucestershire? That is what the ABC website has it down as.

Before the Empire, my family was in Shropshire, Staffordshire before that, and Cheshire before that. We migrated there right after the Conquest from the lower Severn. My mother is Kentish. We're spread all over the world now - mostly in North America and Africa. Would that we hadn't.

Though - England has changed over the past few centuries. They say 'You can't go back', and certainly some un-English pits of humanity like London and Stoke have swallowed up the ancestral villages. Saruman may be dead, but he is still winning.

God knows. Ask our member Beorny, who lives there.

If you have any Timperleys, Beeleys or Burgesses in your Cheshire branch, we're cousins.

There are powerful elements working against England, for sure. From what I've been told, its now easier for Africans, Middle Easterners etc to immigrate to England than it is for Australians (even those with family still in England)... yet we're still part of the Commonwealth of Nations!

I'm blood kin to the Audleys, Stanleys and Sneyds.

Mary - its the horrible irony of it: they replaced us with Somalis and Pakistanis.

If having family, that belonged to the House of Burgesses, counts? Then we are cousins.
