Repeat message
dear Listers
For 3 years I have been researching the Lane family from somerset on a
chance comment by a member of the family. today I have received 2 letters
from 'long lost' family who inform me that the Lane family came from
Chepstow area!!!!!
One remembers a photograph of three large men and on the back it said '
Lanes Farm' Lane End, tintern.
the other person remembers being told that his mother was taken to chepstow
on the train then having a long walk to her grandparents farm.
I also have a recollection of father-in law saying that he visited Devauden,
but unfortunateley we thought he was rambling as he had recently had a
stroke - that'll teach me!
I believe the person I am looking for is Sydney Hubert or sidney Herbert (or
Hubert Sidney
or variations) Lane who married in 1905. I have information that he died in
1961 aged 76 which makes his dob approx 1885.I know his wife was born in
1885 so he won't be on the 1881 census
Any information would be gratefully received, especially if someone could
verify the address and residents of Lane farm.
Many thanks if you have got this far, & many thanks in advance to anyone who
might be able to help
