Hello my name is David Daniels
My mother’s name before marriage was Edith Austin she lived with her parents, my grandparents at 34 Nayland Road, Bures,
I spent many summer holidays in Bures playing with David Leyland on his dad’s farm Bures Hall also with Lawrence Block; I spent a very short time at Bures School once when my Nan was ill as my mum looked after her.
I also spent a lot of time with my aunt at Mount Bures her name was Nora Clampin she lived at 5 Boadicea Cottage at the top of Craggs Hill I also had a great ant Sophie & uncle Sam at Mount Bures he worked for David McMaster on the poultry side of their farm and lived in a wooden home with a corrugated tin roof, (there are now 2 Houses on that spot as you leave the village heading towards the Teachers Arms Pub).
If anybody can help with information on my mother’s family I would be grateful , my mum had 3 brothers & 1 sister, the sister was Nora the boys were Albert (nickname Ticker) Robert (Bob) the third I cannot rember.
My Nan Minnie Austin died 11th June 1957 my Granddad Walter died when I was a baby not sure when.
Many Thanks David Daniels : :
