From Stewart Marchant

I stumbled on your very useful site whilst searching for my ancestors.

My great great grandfather Joseph Marchant, who gave his birth place as Elstead about 1819, married my great great grandmother

Harriet Smith in Puttenham in 1847. That entry also gave me two great great great grandfathers - John Marchant and William Smith. 

I haven't made any more progress on these two lines since but I am grateful for the effort that went into making this information available online.

I have since found a family of John and Hannah Marchant who raised a family in the area in the early 19th century including

John, William, Sarah, Andrew, Frederick and Harriet - but don't know whether or not these were related to

 my Gggp Joseph or not.  I am aware that there are still Marchants in the area - so I could be a distant cousin!

Thanks again for your help. Please feel free to add some or all of this response to the website as you think fit.

Wonderful web-site!
I strayed onto this site trying to follow up a potential lead on my very
elusive gtgtgt grandfather FREDRICK WILLIAM SMITH, whom I can last trace to
Soulbury on the Beds/Bucks border, where he works as a butler. Last heard of
March 1850.
Rather inconveniently, he dies before the 1851 census, and so I
have no idea of his age or birthplace (or burial!).
The IGI lists Fredrick William Smith (spelt exactly as it is on his marriage
certificate), father George Smith (another known fact!), baptised
30 August
1807
, Puttenham.
I would be really interested to know if anyone has a connection with, or
knows anything more about, the family of GEORGE and MARTHA SMITH, as I would
like to establish whether this George Smith, is the one I'm looking for: he
also called himself George Shelton Smith and was a hairdresser.

I am happy for this information to be posted on the site.

My name is Janice Jones.

I live in Winnipeg, Canada

and there are other descendants in Canada, New Zealand and the UK (and possibly also in Australia).

My interest in Puttenham is as a descendant of Eliza(beth) Stovold, born 19 May 1811 to Charles and Ann (Budd) Stovold.

Eliza Stovold married John White on 04 May 1841 in Puttenham.

Children of John White and Eliza (Stovold) White were:

Charles John White born 20 Jan 1847 in Roehampton, Surrey.

Harriett Ann White born (2nd Quarter) 1849 in Roehampton.

Charles John White married Mary Bullen (of Saham Toney, Norfolk) 12 Sep 1868 at Holy Trinity Church, Roehampton.

Charles John White and Mary (Bullen) White were my great-grandparents.

I am delighted to have found this great web-site and am willing to have my information loaded to the Guest Book Page.

Dear Julie, I started to research my maternal line during the summer months
having found my "brick wall" with my husbands family.I made a mistake and wrote down my GGGrandmothers name as Bridgen, so wasting
a lot of time and effort and of course coming up empty handed. Well, to cut a long story short I found the surname I should have been
looking for was BRIDGER, so far I have had lots of success with material available on the Internet. With the help of a lovely gentleman in Hampshire I have been
able to trace my way back to Puttenham. My GGGrandmother was Mary Jane Bridger D/O John Bridger and Charlotte
Harris.. John Bridger was born in Puttenham he was the son of Richard Bridger and  Mary Budd.
I wont go on but would be very happy to hear from you if these are any of the Budd/Bridgers in your tree.

Lee Gregory (nee Putnam)

My connection with Puttenham is that I am a descendant of the Puttenham's; Simon de Puttenham, etc... I have a large list of the Puttenham, Putnam's. I currently have over 3,000 people in my family tree list, most of them descend from Simon, I am currently try to find out as much info as I can on the Puttenham/Putnam's. I plan to someday take a trip to England (as soon as I get the nerve to fly). If there is any information or a place you can direct me to, would be greatly appreciated. P.S. You can load my information on your page.
Thank you for your time.
Lee (Putnam) Gregory

My name is Sue Pierce.

My connection with Puttenham is with my 5xgt.g.father, Daniel MILTON who was baptized there in 1715, son of Thomas MILTON and Elizabeth BUBRICK or BOWBRICK. I can find no more on the family. I am curious about Elizabeth, as it is a very unusual surname.Is anyone else researching either families? If so, I would be interested in swapping information.
