Stebbing Family
Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2021 9:35 pm
My father was born in Bures and when I young that’s where I spent some of my school holidays, we all came to Australia in 1959. My fathers name was Merlyn Stebbing and his Uncle was Arthur Stebbing who was also verger of St Mary's Church,
I kept in contact with Dulcie Cardy who I knew as a child as her family lived next door to my Uncle at No5 along the Colchester Road.
My grandmother was Kate Elizabeth Cox nee Stebbing, her mother was Emily Susan Stebbing nee Harvey Emily's Husband was Arthur Stebbing snr , Dad was Merlyn Arthur William Stebbing, Arthur, William, and my dad were bell ringers in the church. When I visited in 2014 I met a man who knew Arthur who had rung bells with his father. Arthur was my great Uncle and he was verger at the church for many years.
My grandmothers was Kate Elizabeth Cox nee Stebbing, her mother was Emily Susan Stebbing nee Harvey Emily's Husband was Arthur Stebbing snr , Dad was Merlyn Arthur William Stebbing, Arthur, William, and my dad were bell ringers in the church. When I visited in 2014 I met a man who knew Arthur who had rung bells with his father. Arthur was my great Uncle and he was verger at the church for many years. I dropped some photos off but you were not home so I missed meeting you then. has anyone written a book about Bures? I have the one but I wanted one more about the people as well I suppose you have to go more to family History.
From what I remembered Artie Graves, had one leg and used to milk a cow on a 3 legged stool, next door lived Pearl Baxter she had twins a boy and girl Pearl used to write to my Mum. When we lived in UK we always went to Bures at harvest time and used to follow the harvester round the field and Dad used to shoot the rabbits that came out of the crop,
We went to the 8 Bells and I was allowed in with a bag of crisps and lemonade but had to keep quiet otherwise the policeman would put me outside. When we went to the Thatches on Colchester Road I had to sit outside so I would sit and talk to the pigs.
