the following on your 'Wing' website please. Please reply to wingit@talk21.com Luton
Airport Consultation Classical Recital – Saturday 10 May at 7.30 pm Invitation The recital last year by Sinora Incantata at East Claydon was a great success and I am very grateful that they have kindly agreed to perform again this year on Saturday 10 May at 7.30 pm. The venue is All Saints’ Church, Wing, which was described by John Betjeman as ‘The finest Saxon Church in England’. Sophie Polhill, soprano and Antonia King – piano will perform a varied classical programme including a selection of Italian Arias from the 17th and 18th centuries. Hi, Hi Hello I was wondering if it's possible to put a notice up on the village website about the leaflets put through doors in Wing today (12/3/08) from a firm purporting to be a children's charity - The "Children's Welfare Foundation, reg charity 11132509". I was a bit suspicious and did a bit of research on the internet - this form is not c charity, and any clothes etc donated are sold for profit. There are a number of articles on the web about this firm, amongst others - http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2007/aug/04/moneysupplement3 and http://www.headington.org.uk/news/items/clothes_collection.htm A quote from the first (Gaurdian) artcile states that" The Charity Commission told Capital Letters: "We have received a number of complaints from around the country relating to the Children's Welfare Foundation's clothing collections leaflet. We are currently reviewing the content of these complaints and are considering the appropriate way forward in this matter." Anyway I thought it would be right to alert people so that they can make a considered choice whether to make a donation of clothes to people who will sell the donations for their own profit, when they can take donations to one of the many genuine charity shops in Leighton Buzzard, to the collection points in the Wing car park or the Leighton Buzzard Tesco car park.

visited the site and have looked in the monthly

contacts? Thanks and regards, Victoria Hi,I wonder if you could put these up on the e-noticeboard? The questionnaire about travel between Wing and Leighton Buzzard will be circulated in the second week of January 2008. The questionnaire is intended to provide backing for Bedfordshire County Council's bid for funds to build a foot and cycle bridge at Wing Hill roundabout.

Tom Cohen, author of the report, will be there together with representatives from Bucks CC and FOE, who jointly commissioned it. Regards, Sean Kelly. (December 2007) Hi Alan, I noticed a message you had posted on a web site about a Pantling who served in Italy around 1942-1944. My father served in Italy during that time, but he was in the U.S. Army Air Corp as a bombadier... James C. Pantling. I suspect this is not the person you are looking for since you had mentioned the Queen's Royal Regiment. I've done considerable research on the Pantling family, and would be happy to offer any assistance. I have military service information on a very small few, but have doubts we would be able to make a match without more information from you. Do you have a first name? A town where he might be from, etc.? Any info you could provide would be helpful. I have yet to find a Pantling that isn't related... even if rather distantly. I've worked closely with a Martin Pantling in England on the family's research, and perhaps one of us can help. Jim Pantling Sarasota, Florida (December 2007) Re:

Version’ Hi Today 10th March I visited your village my ancestors were called Woodman they were born in Wing about 1766. I found a table top tomb under the large tree in the graveyard with alot of Woodmans listed on it, whilst there a woman spoke to us and told me there was a plague in the early 1800's were can I find a history of the Village and can you tell me what the plague was, smallpox? I have visited your website and its very interesting as my family name is Rogers and there are Rogers children in the school photo. Thank you Penny Bulpitt (March 2007) By the way, I
just had a look around the site at the history
notes and noticed the entries for the Denchfields. We
live at 5-7 High street in Burcott, which was the old
bakery. In one of our living rooms, which I suspect was
originally the actual bakery, we have a remnant of the
original bakers oven, a cast iron chimney piece with the
words ‘L. Denchfield, Maker Wing, Bucks’
Nothing else exists of the oven but the panel is in clear
view. Perhaps, if this isn’t known already, this
could be forwarded to whoever is collating the Denchfield
history. Wing Village Plan The Village plan is being developed now.

lovely Christening at the church yesterday and
unfortunately my 18 month old daughter dropped her
beloved toy rabbit somewhere, either in the church or on
the path outside, or may be in the loo as we visited
there too! We had a quick look round a few hours after
the event but couldn't see him and had to go home to
Witney emptyhanded. I would be so grateful if you could
keep a look out for him, Annie has had a sleepless night
missing him and we've tried all day to buy another but
they don't make them anymore! He is beige (though now a
well-cuddled grey!) with long ears and legs, floppy, and
has 'Silly buddy' written on his chest, also a label
saying Bunnies by the Bay. Maybe someone has put him in a
'safe place'? Please contact me either via email if you
have any news, we would be so grateful. Thanks so much for your help, I'm overjoyed to be able to report that Bunny was found in the church and is now safely snuggled up in Annie's cot with her! Many thanks to you all, especially to Sheila who found him! Best Wishes, Clare Collins High energy costs could cause a surge in cold related illnesses Domestic
energy prices ballooned dramatically in the twelve months

I have just found your notice boards and am amazed to
find family members with the same great grandfather as
myself. Abel Fountaine b. wing
1862. parents David Fountaine b. 1823 and
Ann Syrett b. 1826 both of Wing. Abels wife Jane
Major was born Leighton Buzzard 1863 parents George Major
and Sarah Pratt. The couple were married in
Wing on 27. May 1883. Their daughter Rose born in
Leighton Buzzard was infact my grandmother. The family
moved to Watford, Hertfordshire around 1901. My
grandmother aways told me that one of her brothers
emigrated and now thanks To Gregs notice on your board, I
know which one and like Lisa would love to know more
about that side of the family. With
regards to Lisa's questions, Ann Syrett (Abels wife) was
the illigitimate daughter of Susanna Syrett b. 1803 Wing,
parents John Syrett and Ann Munday. The John Syrett
husband to Maria that Lisa mentions in her e-mail was
infact Susanna Syretts brother and I think I'm right
in saying their brother George was the father of
William who you mentioned, ended up in Aylesbury jail but
so I believe, did Father George. The Read Family Having recently

My wife and I visited Wing Churchyard today to trim the family grave and were appalled at the state of the War Memorial, there was very long grass and weeds around most of the base and the wreaths from last year’s memorial service were strewn round about. This is particularly regrettable in this 60th anniversary year of the end of World War II and all the attendant commemorations. Using just the hand shears that we had we tidied up as best we could, but please could not the contractors be persuaded to trim around the memorial in the course of trimming the churchyard? As an aside the standard of the grass trimming this year falls far below last year’s standard; is it possible for the Church or Parish Council to take some action please?

Melbourn Road and bridge improvement work at Leighton Linslade The Lovett family - a Buckinghamshire Police history story researched by Mrs Jane McInerney I'm researching my maternal grandmother's family, the Stuchbury's of Hillesden. My great-grandfather's uncle George Stuchbury is described as a "Wing pensioner" in the 1901 census, and I assume this is a connection with Wing village itself. I do know that he was a soldier who served in India during the Indian Mutiny in 1857, and subsequently in Ireland. If anyone in the village can shed any light on this curious phrase, I'd be grateful (not to mention enlightened!). If you've any info, you can contact me at: barnet55@ntlworld.com. Thanks! Pam McAllister I am a mural painter specialising in children's murals. My website address is: www.suzysmurals.co.uk thanks Suzy Cupit I have had success! Via via from the site I have been in touch with Mrs Ann Wrenshaw of Wing the sister of Fl. Lt. Smith (click here for original message). I had a message via her son and spoke yesterday on the telephone. It has been for me a long but very satisfying search. I attach a photograph of his grave. My thanks for playing such an important part in my search. Best wishes with your site and village, Eileen I have
recently come across an old photograph of people who
lived in Wing, similar to those in Wing as it Was.
The photograph is owned by a gentleman who lives in
Northwood but says he is related to the Searles and the
Woolheads. Although I have returned the sepia photo to
it's owner I have copies available to anyone who is
interested. Photo now in the gallery Traditional Mr Whippy Ice Cream Van Dear Ms. Glover: Dear Son in Law of Alfred Smith, Mark Watson of Rothschild Road has
asked if the village is proposing to set up a disaster
fund. I attach a copy of the email I sent back in February of this year about the photograph of the church choir circa 1900. I had hoped that it might generate some interest. Richard Corkett (editors apologies for not adding the information to the picture page) I have been searching for references to my family name on the internet and came across you website. In response to your request for details concerning the members of the choir photographed circa 1900, my grandmother, Lizzie Corkett(nee Gardner) is the sixth from the left in the third row from the front. She was married aged 24 to Arthur Corkett in December 1899. They had three children: Frederick Arthur born in October 1900, Annie Elizabeth born in May 1904 and Cecil Harry born in September 1910 (my father), who is third from the left on the back row of Jill Parson's photograph of Wing choir. He looks as if he is in early twenties. As I cannot see my grandmother on the photograph I presume that it was taken sometime after her death in June 1931 aged 55. My father subsequently trained as a priest and was vicar of Whitechapel church in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, from 1943 to 1980. He died in April 1998 aged 87.

I know that he was born in Wing and enlisted in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on 24 August 1940.He was commissioned as a Pilot Officer on 20 August 1941 and first promoted to Flying Officer on 20 August 1942 and finally to Flight Lieutenant on 20 August 1943. He served in 193 Squadron RAF Volunteer Reserve. Not being a family member it is difficult for me to find any further information about him.I know he was married, his wife unfortunately died in 1988.Although the Royal Air Force Personnel Management Agency could not give me the last address of Mrs Smith they suggested I perhaps place an advertisement in the local newspapers in the Hove or Bedfordshire areas which I will do.Interestingly the RAF Benevolent Fund also suggested a link to Mrs Smith in the Hove area. Being English myself, I would like to commemorate this anniversary.I have searched the town archives and found references to the event – even a pencil written declaration that his ID disc and papers were handed to "the authorities" and noted that the number was as above and that the identity card carried the Card Number 975274.This was presumably written on the day of the event which I found moving.I have spoken to a number of people who vividly remember the event. Does anyone have any memories of a family Smith – not the easiest name I know! Can anyone suggest where else I could continue my search?Any help would be very much appreciated. Eileen Hendrie email

We live in Wing and our website is at www.argonet.co.uk/users/skelly Regards Caroline Davies G'day my name is Winston hopton from Hervey Bay, Queensland,Australia. I am trying to obtain information about my great grandmother who was living at the SIX BELLS INN, Wing, Buckingham, according to the 1881 census. Try as I may, I have been unable to find anything on this Inn. Her name was Ann Gray, she married Berry Staples 3 August 1872 in Wing. My grandfather Francis Harry Gray, was born 17 December 1867 at Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, however the census shows a Harry Staples born to Berry and Ann about 1868, also at Leighton Buzzard . (before they married). Francis Harry emigrated to Australia in 1887 on the "Earl Granville", but the passenger list doesn't list a Francis. Francis Harry's birth certificate only shows his mother as Ann Gray. I haven't been able to find a record of death of Harry Staples in the UK, or a listing in the 1901 census, so it's more than likely that Harry Staples and Francis Harry Gray are one and the same person. I thought that someone there may have some recollections about the family. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Winston Hopton Any help? Please email wingit@talk21.com Hello.I just looked at the
website for Wing. There is mention of the Rowe family. I
have been searching for the family of Joseph Rowe, born
app. 1846, who married Mary Ann Brinklow, born app. 1846,
at Eaton Bray. They were the parents of my
grandmother Edith Alice Rowe. Please let me know if
the people you mention might be in any way related. Thank
you so much. Dodie Newman Kelowna, BC, Canada I have been checking your website
occasionally as I am interested in seeing other old
photographs of Wing residents, I have attached one such
picture from our collection for its similarity to the
picture of Frank Corkett: this picture is also taken in
Long Row Burcott, and shows Emily Syratt, Wife of James
... who were the parents of my Grandmother: Amy May
Clarke. Looking at the two pictures it is hard to tell
how much time seperates them, but the picture of Emily
was taken shortly before 1935. My name is Dale Wing, I have a website http://www.wingfamilyhistory.com.
I am writing to ask if the local community could possibly
get involved in raising some extra cash for Wing
Lodge.This organisation is run very well, but i feel the
village could help these elderly residents enjoy a little
more! Any help? Please emwingit@talk21.com Greetings I was interested to review your
website and of course was wondering if you can advise why
the village was called Wing. I am of Anglo-Saxon heritage
and also wonder if the local church holds birth/death
records etc as I have so far traced my ancestral lines
back approx 160 years and am interested in exploring
further. My great grandfather emigrated to Australia in
the 1850's. Thanks in anticipation. Any help? Please email wingit@talk21.com My father was born and
raised in wing and i remember some of wings residents

to trace details of a Charles Lamborn, a schoolmaster who
wrote a history of Dunstable published in 1859. Any help? Please email mailto:wingit@talk21.com Hello, I am researching my SOUTHAM ancestors, like most other researchers I have hit the proverbial 'Brick Wall'. I am descended from a Thomas SOUTHAM who resided in Wing and raised a family there. I have not been able to find his marriage which would have been about 1673 to an Elizabeth - their first child baptised in Wing 4 Dec 1674. Thomas died in Wing on 11 May 1691, I have not been able to locate a Will. The records of all parishes adjacent to Wing have been searched. Your article regarding the Battle of Aylesbury at Holman's Bridge caught my eye; it caused me to think that perhaps Thomas was a soldier or the son of one of the soldiers engaged in the battle. The troops on both sides would have moved around the country quite a bit and some would have married during their travels. This then brings up the question of SETTLEMENT; an outlander would have required permission to reside in Wing - are there settlement orders for Wing? And, is there a parish chest? If you are able to help me solve this problem or even to point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful Any help? Please email wingit@talk21.com |
