Message Board Post:
Hi Beryl I don't remember if I replied to you, so I thought, as I was looking over some of my previous received messages that I would reply now. My great aunt Mildred Cheeseman married Edward Grinsted who was the owner of the Store in Bury, but her father was born in Wiltshire in 1860. The family came from Great Bedwyn and the surrounding area, and I have found records that date back to about 1600 in Ramsbury. My father Howard Cheeseman spent much time in Bury with his aunt and uncle during the 1920's and 1930's and played tennis across the street from the Store, and met John Galsworthy who also played tennis there. I spent some time in Bury also during and after WWII. I have a book ALL ABOUT BURY by Lillian E. Brown published in Hove, in 1948. On page 262 is a reference to a Thomas Cheseman who in 1429 replace a woman, Alice Curtys, as Tithingman. Whether Thomas is an ancestor of mine, I do not know. I expect that sometime before 1600 the Cheeseman's who settled in !
Wiltshire moved there from Kent or Sussex, since the name evidently originated in either of those counties. My email address, if you wish to contact me direct, is nkomo2002(a)yahoo.com
