surnames

This page contains a collection of surnames I am either researching at the moment, or have not yet started to work on. If you
feel you can link to one of them or have information that may help me please contact me. Some of the sections have family trees attached and some may still be blank. I also may have information on some but have not found the time to publish them, so if I can help you I would like to hear from you.

	Oliver Best Jnr. The Best family name is my Mother-in-Law's maiden name. Patricia Sutton Nee Best unfortunately passed away in June 1986, long before I started researching the family, I am sure she would have been able to help me. The family came from Lincolnshire, and both Oliver and his Father (also Oliver) were in the licence trade. It seems that the Best family owned quite a few pubs between them. The two Oliver's were also councilors and Oliver Senior's death in 1923 was reported quite extensively in many of the local newspapers around the County. He was obviously a well known and well liked member of the community. *top of page*
	Stanley Booth, my Maternal Grandfather. The family comes from the North East of England. Stanley spent most of his life, apart from the war years, in either Sunderland or Darlington. He was in the Army during the first world war and then joined the RAF in W.W.II Somewhere in the family archives there is a photograph of my Grandfather and T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) standing next to a motor cycle. I remember seeing it several times wen I was a young boy but I am having problems locating it. *top of page*

	Eleanor Nichol. This is my Maternal Grandmother. She married Stanley Booth in 1921. They had two children, both girls. Elva, my Mother and Audrey. Unfortunately Audrey died unexpectedly in her early forties and Stanley died very soon afterwards. I was told by my Mother that my Grandmother was clairvoyant but I saw no evidence of it whilst she was alive. *top of page*
	Benjamin and Jane Round This was my Great Grandmother Jane (nee Shaw) Benjamin was Jane's second husband, who she married after my Great Grandfather Thomas Nichol died in WW1. Although I have not managed to confirm this as a fact. I knew my G. Grandmother quite well as she lived to the age of 91 and died when I was 11 years old. I never met Benjamin as he died before I was born. *top of page*

	Antony and Patricia Sutton My wife's parents, on their wedding day. Pat (nee Best) is sadly no longer with us as she passed away in 1986. A kind and peaceful lady and a Mother-in-law who was not difficult to like. Tony is alive and well and living in Cambridge. Tony was with the Ordinance Survey for many years and on his retirement Her Majesty the Queen saw fit to award him the British Empire Medal for his services to the OS. *top of page*
	Joseph and Anne Tumbridge On their golden wedding anniversary. Joe was a Coleman for most of his early years, then between them they opened a grocery shop. Their last shop was in Ponders end, Enfield. I have many happy memories of the shop and used to spend as much time as I could there in my teenage years. I have dedicated this site to him because he was very proud of the Tumbridge name, *top of page*
	Tommy Young. I know very little about Tommy's life. I knew him quite well when I was a child but He suffered from Parkinson disease and that is the most prominent thing I remember. He was the only Son of my G. Great Aunt Ethel. Her name was Shaw before she married. Tommy never married and eventually died of Parkinson in the 1970s *top of page*
