Hello,
I wonder if you can help me, please?
I've been helping a friend research her family history, and we found that some of her ancestors came from South Fambridge.
During a recent trip to Essex, I was able to make a quick visit to the village and take some photographs of this very attractive location.
I also visited North Fambridge, and the manager of the pub there showed me a booklet on the history of that village, which I've been able to source on Amazon - however, Matti's ancestors came from South Fambridge and, with her 70th birthday coming up, I was hoping to find a similar book or booklet for there and give her both together. Are you aware of any such book, please?
Also, her great-great grandfather, William Bartam/Bartrum was brought up in the Rochford Union Workhouse, following the deaths of his mother and grandfather - are there any booklets relating to it?
I'd be very grateful for any help you can give me!
Best wishes, Janice Menzies
