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.

A day's picture taking is typically 100+ of which maybe 5 or 6 you'll see here. |

Cathy - I can certainly help - I am quite central to some of those areas so I when I am over the move I will plan day trips to take some photos of some of those places. I went to Ribbesford yesterday to clean my father's grave - his ashes are buried in Ribbesford church yard! I have some photos on here of Ribbesford - it is a very small area, mainly a few cottages around a church. It is very beautiful - one of the most lovely places in the country in my opinion with the River Severn flowing past and the lovely countryside. I drive through Powick and Upton quite often as we love Castlemorton Common at the foot of the Malvern Hills which is very near to those places. I can't place Broadwell at the moment but I know I have driven near there as I remember the name - our friends live at Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire.

I am particularly seeking any mention (especially in the churchyards) of Eacock (Ecock, Acock, Ecoke, etc), or Napper names. |

After a few minutes checking, I think I've found your Eacock family line going back to Thomas Eacock of 1695 and his family/decendents then follows several of the place names you mentioned. Seems to me at least one of your family lines is steeped in Cotswold history. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:22nd March 2010 15:25 |
