Hello The Craxfords!
I'm intrigued. Why is my family linked to yours? I have found mention of my father on your pages. William Curtis's brother Henry/Harry had a son, Nicholas who studied at Kings Canterbury and went on to become a very successful singer. He sang the Cornetto commercial for starters!! I LOVE that you mention him, and that his achievements have not been unnoticed.
What an amazing archive you have. Well done!!!!

I am researching the Waterfield family and their time in Shearsby, Charles Waterfield born Shearsby 1847 was my great grandfather and appears on the red pages here. If you have any further links I could follow I would love to know more.

This is a most impressive site, and what I find the most interesting is that someone took the time to create pages honoring those that have passed.

Well done

Daughter of David Naylor (3rd great-grandson) found this website through Jack Naylor. Very interesting site, didn't realise my family was so large.

My grandparents Ivy & Stephen Burnham-Packam owned a Jewelers at 48 King Richards Road until the section of the road was demolished for expansion. I was truly overwhelmed when I came across this website. I have been reading it all day.
Thank you so very much for your information and effort.
Carolyn Pfeiffer, daughter of Maureen Burnham-Packham.
