Tracing Your Roots?

Are you trying to trace relatives who used to live in Radnage?

BGS_logoA number of people have already contacted us and we have been able to help them by posting notices in the parish magazine or tracing where individual houses are located. 

If you are trying to trace your roots e-mail us if you would like to be included here or try some of the on-line resources and research databases such as GENUKI. Alternatively, try contacting the Bucks Genealogy Society:

Recently we had a e-mail from Ivor Clucas who has acquired the accounts book for Radnage Rectory kept by Rev Charles William Tonyn for the period of 1767 to 1775. He has produced a transcript of the accounts and copies are now held by St Mary’s and the The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies in Aylesbury. However, he is willing to do look ups for individuals who think they might have had relatives working for the Rector during that period or been trades people in the village. The surnames in the accounts include STONE, BOWDERY, HUNT, DORMER, WELLS, TAYLER, NEWELL, BRITNALL, SALE, SEAL, HELEY, JENKINSON, HOWLAND and there are many others. The trades include taylors, builders, gardeners, surgeons, apothecary, coal merchants, millers, maltsters, carriers, butchers, grocers, collar makers, shoemakers, seedsmen etc., etc.

You can get in touch with Ivor by e-mail at ivor.clucas @ tiscali.co.uk - (leaving out the spaces)

A number of people have e-mailed us looking for help in tracing their relatives. These are now grouped on the “Can You Help?” page.

If you have asked for help and your name is missing or you have not heard from us in a long time please e-mail us again so we can keep our database of contacts up-to-date.

Thanks

 

We have also had e-mails from people who used to live in Radnage and who have shared memories of their time her. If you have special memories of our village, please drop us an e-mail and we will publish your stories on our Memories page.

Thanks.
