A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

Hello from Marlborough

#1 Post by Marlborough_Nan »

Hello everyone. I'm not sure I'm clever enough for a forum but my grandson set it up for me and said I'd enjoy the company, and he's usually right the cheeky thing. I've lived round Marlborough all my life and my people before that, Cannings way mostly. I dont know dates and documents like some of you, but I know who was who and what they used to say, if thats any use to anybody. Be gentle with me, I'm all thumbs on teh keyboard .
just an old woman who remembers when the green had three shops.

Welcome Nan! "Who was who and what they said" is exactly what the records lose. You'll be very welcome here.

Welcome. The memory of a family that has stayed put is worth a shelf of printed sources; please don't undervalue it. E.S.
We retrieve what we can from the teeth of time. (after J. Aubrey)
