I am searching for photographs (none on POE) of the following areas, does anyone live anywhere near them and would be willing to take photos for me?  They are all places where my close Ancestors originated from.  I can email greater detail if required:

Broadwell in Gloucestershire

COLWALL, Coddington, Flopgate, Withington, Weston Beggard, Much Marcle, Lugwardine in Herefordshire

Upton on Severn (a few photos on Poe), Ribbesford, Powick in Worcestershire

Enstone in Oxfordshire

I am trying to complete a family history for the grandchildren as they know nothing of their English heritage other than what we have told them.

 


Cathy, I don't have any photos of these areas to contribute, but may I say how much I enjoyed just reading the names!  How very "England" they sound!  Piques my curiosity about them.

I will have a look in the churchyard at Ribbesford for those names next time I visit Dad's grave Cathy. It is a very old church - quite beautiful. I have some photos of outside somewhere as well as inside so I will add them when I have chance. I go past Much Marcle sometimes too - I will write down the list & keep it in the car!

Thank you - I couldn't find any in my haste - I have added them now, I was just going into that thread to tell you! You are right - I don't really have the time to do tours at the moment but I find it helps me to clear my thoughts and relax!
