Parker
- Geddington
Hello I am trying to trace a Thomas Parker who states was of Geddington. He was in contract with Lawrence Parker of Aukenbury (Alconbury, Hunts) who married Elizabeth Thorp of Lilford on 15/8/1724 at Thorpe Achruch. As stated on Marriage Licence but it is in Latin so very hard to read.
I am not sure if Thomas was Father or brother to Lawrence but Lawrence and Elizabeth settled back in Alconbury Hunts and had children Lawrence, Ann, Thomas, Henry, Elizabeth and John Parker.
If anyone has any Parkers from Geddington or around the area could the please contact me. Fingers crossed Angeline

York
- Great Addington
Thomas York and his wife Nell moved to Gt.Addington in about 1934/5. They lived at "Sunnyside", Woodford Road for many years. Thomas died in 1954 and Nell in 1979, both are buried in the grounds of All Saints church.
Thomas was originally a bus driver for his father's company which operated from Irchester. After what we believe was a family fall out he went to work for United Counties Buses. In 1936 there was a strike at this company and a photograph published in the local newspaper shows Thomas sitting near a brazier outside the companies depot. He later went on to have his own milk business supplying the residents of Little Addington, Great Addington and Woodford. He operated the business from "Sunnyside" and we know thathe bought the milk in churns and bottled it himself. "Sunnyside" is still standing in the village although it is now smaller in size than when Tom and his family lived there.

Memorial Hall
- Great Addington
The Memorial Hall which is located opposite the village church was built due to the villagers of that time. They decided to club together and raise funds to build a meeting place for the village. A committee of villagers was appointed to ensure thatthe hall should remain as a local meeting place and remain as a place belonging to the people of the village. The village hall was built on the site of an old pond and remains there today with local people running it.

Spencer Althorp And Great Brington
- Great Brington
No i am not related. But if your family came from Great Brington could they, many generations ago, have worked for Princess Diana's family or even been related distantly to the family of Princess Diana from Althorp? If you can find a family link byblood to Princess Diana then lucky you as you will be able to leap frog your genealogy back earlier than King James of England. Debretts have documented the ancestors of the SPENCER family very thoroughly and it is impressive.
