I have been sent a lovely booklet about the history of Wareside (1911-1919) as experienced and recalled by Harold Walker, called "Pictures in my Memory". In it there are two school photos (1909 and 1914?) and some children with the surname WREN. (Alfred, Arthur and William in 1909 and Tony in 1914?). Reference is also made to Billy WREN, known as 'Buck', in a piece about The Pemberton Billing Children's Party in 1919. Does anyone know who these WREN children's parents were? Or are you are a descendant of these children? WREN was my grandmother's maiden name and she resided at Wareside Village at the time of the 1881 census with her parents, John (aged 45, born Babbsgreen, Hertford)and mother Eliza (aged 45, born Ware, Westmill Road, Hertford), nee Pearson. Siblings included John, b 1855 - absent at census; Samuel, b 1857 - absent at census; Thomas, b 1865 at Ware, Crib St,; Henrietta, b abt 1869 at Wareside; Morris, b abt 1871 at Wareside; William, b abt 1874 at Wareside; Silas, b abt 1876 at Wareside, then my grandmother Florence, b 1879 at Wareside) Is anyone related to these WREN children? Or do you have any information about them? My ambition is to find living relatives. Can you help? I would love to hear from you if you can, or can suggest any other steps I can take to try to achieve my dream. Kind regards Helen (in New Zealand)
