    My Grand mother, Eva Smith grew up in Faringdon and worked at a local manor house, where either during or preceding the Second World War met my Grand father, Charles Weston. My Grand father was billeted at the manor house, and they courted and married. My oldest uncle Michael John Weston was born in Faringdon, and after the war they all moved to London where my Grandfather, Charles was born and raised. My Grand Mother, Eva had a few sisters, Vera and I believe Bea or Beatrice and grew up in a small row of cottages somewhere in the village.
    I'm getting in contact it you to see if you had any local knowledge of any of the manor houses in the area that billeted soldiers, or any knowledge of the Smith family in the village? I left England a number of years ago and am researching my family back in England.
    Thanks for your time an kind consideration,
    Regards

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone knew of the history of Floyds Row, St Aldate's, Oxford please, particularly number 7.

    I have an interest as my great grandmother's sister is registered as living there on her marriage certificate on 30th August 1949. Her new husband is also listed as having lived there at the same time, which I thought was perhaps unusual at that time? I assume they could've been living there as live-in servants, but I am curious to know for certain to get a bit of background for them.

    Allnatts sweets shop or most recently known as (London Street newsagent) was owned by my auntie Mrs Allnatt for many many years and was very well known for her half penny goodies . She worked the shop after loosing her husband in the war right up until 1980s when she sold up and retired to travel the world , she settled in Swindon and Faringdon continuing to have the odd holiday with my other aunt , Auntie Allnatt sadly passed away around 2008.

    My Great Grandfather was Arthur Allnatt, who owned the corner shop and also the Folly pub. His eldest daughter Lillian was my Grandmother. My dear Auntie ran the shop after her husband Fred died suddenly. I lived with her for a year and helped in the shop. I have fond memories and photos which I will share I have just moved so I need to find them!!
