My Name Is:Sue Mepham From: Date Signed: 24/11/04
Comments:My great uncle was Charles Rogers who, according to the 1901 census, was the farmer at Church Farm, Eaton Bray. His wife's name was Annie and they had seven children: Eva, Arnott Charles, Alec Noel, Constance Annie, Alice Maria, Vernon William and Christopher Henry. Charles had a younger sister, Sarah, whom I believe did not marry, and a younger brother, William, who was my grandfather. I should like to hear from anyone who has connections with the family or with Church Farm.

My Name Is: Sara Fitch From: Date Signed:21/2/01
Comments:Hi, I'm Sara Fitch and went to the Junior School in the 70's. I've heard on
the grapevine that Richard Thompson, now about 31, is volunteering in Africa
somewhere. He used to live in Medley Close and kicked around with Martin Mould, Catherine Stanley and Rebecca Collis. The teachers around that time were Miss Frost and Mrs Miller. Mr Knowles was the Head and Miss Pope and Miss Pignall were support staff. It would be great if you could help me contact him again.
Many thanks Sara
