For some reason over the past 6 weeks (Sept and Oct) we have been getting loads of spoof entries which are utterly rubbish - We are not quite sure why.. But I am pleased to say that we have now deleted these and can now see the legitamate entries.. Please do keep them coming in. Let us know if you used to live in Berwick or if you would like anything added to the site.

Love this website....my ancestors were the STANMORE/STANMER family, at Berwick in the 1700's until the 1840's. Unable to trace earlier due to parish records, does anyone know of Stanmore info pre-1724, were they incomers? My direct ancestor married Hester GILBERT 16 April 1800, who may have been an 'alias Netton'. Any idea why that surname form persisted through generations?

Hello, I googled this site recently as I have relatives from Wylye and Berwick St James and was very pleasantly surprised to find a number of them listed living at various properties in the village. I was able to extract additional information to add to my family tree. I have found this site very interesting and useful. If anyone has any Carter or White relatives in their family tree I would be very interested to hear from them. Many thanks, Diane

I have enjoyed your website, particularly the history and who lived where. My G G G Grandfather was William Dyer and his eldest son, George, were blacksmiths. William married Maria Blanchard, and George married Emily Keel. So I have found out more about the Dyers, Blanchards and Keels. George's eldest son Henry (my G Grandfather) was born in Berwick St James. He was also a blacksmith and moved to live and raise his family in Bournemouth around 1880s.
Thankyou.

I spent many happy summer holidays with my parents when we stayed with my mother's cousin, Constance (Connie) Chislett nee Kitley. Connie and her husband, Fred, lived in a thatched house which had been a shop. Sadly, the thatch was neglected, rain got into the walls and the front wall of the house collapsed. Eventually they were re-housed in a bungalow in Stapleford but holidays were never the same. The web-site is a poignant memory of many happy days. Thank you everyone concerned. I have a very old photograph of Connie Kitley with her grandfather, in the garden of the house in Berwick Street if it would be of interest to village historians.

I am researching my Rolfe family ancestors who came from Berwick. It was great to find out about the houses that Richard my great x 3 grandfather and Samuel probably my 5 x grandfather lived in. We must visit - it looks a lovely place. Are there any Rolfe's still there? If so please contact me and thanks again for all the research.

What is now Rose House was once called Anrolin, named after the Batter family living there in the early 60s (Angela, Ron and Eileen). I was born later and never got my name merged into that of the house.

I am concerned about the loss old trees, particulaly the beeches up past
Asserton. Was it really necessary? or just vested interest. I'm sure the
chances of them falling on anyone on the track was miniscule.
I have compiled a 'Flora of Berwick St James' as a marker for the millennium.
Would it be of interest to add this to the website?

Enjoyed your website. My wife and I spent our honeymoon touring England and Wales by car in December of 1995.
Our first night on the trip was spent at the Mill House in Berwick St. James.
We were well kept by Ms. Dianna Gifford-Mead (sp).
A couple years later while trying to determine a name for our first-born, I
came across the name Berrick in book of names. I mentioned it to my wife, we
immediately remembered our lovely stay in Berwick St. James and felt a better
name wouldn't be found.
On March 5, 1997 Berrick Adkins Wahby was born in St. Louis, Missouri USA. He is now a strapping 11
year-old boy making plans to enter middle school in the fall.
We haven't made it back, but do sometime hope to bring Berrick to Berwick.

An admirable example of an English village newsletter website. I came across
it whilst surfing for information on Bulford and Durrington. I lived opposite
Bulfoird church and later in Salisbury
from 1961 to 1965. I was part of the ROYAL NAVY staff at the ARMY's Southern
Command HQ at Wilton!
What really grabbed my attention was the reference to a Martin Gairdner and
his 70th birthday. When I joined the RN in 1957, one of the National
Servicemen who 'joined' with me was a Martin Gairdner - could it be the same?
I have no wish to intrude after all these years but if you find it IS - give
him my regards and good wishes for the future. may be a small world after
all?
Wish you continued success with the website

A useful and interesting site and well done to those that have set this up.
I have a question though. Why do I have to scroll across the page to read it?
I have tried reducing the text size in my viewer but the page is still being
stretched. I suspect it may be something to do with the photos that are on it
as this occasionally happens in a forum to which I belong.
