HISSEY family History
Hi. If you would like to help me locate my ancestors through the church records at Longworth or Buckland, then I'd love to hear from you. My family were integral in the Longworth area. They were the manor owners for over 500 years. They helped begin the first school in Longworth, and one was even a Rector of Longworth. His Name is cast into your Longworth Church bell. (Hissey. ) If you have a bit of spare time to search records at the 2 churches, we could work something out financially.
I am also trying to get hold of a copy of the book "Longworth through the centuries" by Jasmine Howse. Can you help send a copy to Australia. I will pay for it and the shipping of course. And also a book
MARTEN'S HALL FARM, LONGWORTH, A HISTORY by Peter Bushell. Anyone with access to the Longworth society, ....they have both of these books.
If you are a kind hearted teenager wanting some extra cash, or a sweet older retired person with a bit of time on your hands, how about thinking about helping a family member of one of Longworth integral families. I would be SOOOOOOOO appreciative if you could help me. Its only time and you would be helping me sooo much.
Thankyou.
Joanne Goodsell Nee HISSEY
Ancestor of the Yates family, Henry Marten, and of course the Hisseys of Longworth.

Search for Edna Barber
Could anyone give me info on Edna Barber a wonderful women who ran Longworth guides during the 1970's. I don't even know if she is still alive. She devouted so much time to young people I wondered if she was ever recognised? I left the area in 1976 and think of her often. Guiding opened my eyes to many opportunities thanks to Edna I became a Queen's Guide. My family lived in Southmoor for 20 years until they moved south.
SUE THOMPSON as was.

Richings Family History
I believe I am descended from Ernest and Eliza Richings, who lived in Tuck's Lane in the 1880's. Their daughter Ellen, later Helen, was living (I suspect as an employee) in Sudbury House, Longworth when she married my grandfather Arthur James in Reading in 1903.
Helen had an older brother William and a younger brother Ernest, who was killed in 1945 and is on the War Memorial in St Mary's.
If you have any information that could relate to any of this, I'd be very pleased to hear from you.
