She married my grandfather, David Leitch, in Renfrewshire, Scotland. My father David Leitch jr. born 9/22/1906 in, Kirkintilloch, Scotland. He had an older sister, Helen Leitch, born,12/19/02,parish of Kirkintilloch,Scotland. I have a little more background on the strachan's but none on the Leitch side . My name is William David Leitch Sr. I have my grandfather's name Willam on my mother's side which is Paton. William Paton was born in 9/16/1986 7 Whifflet street Coatbridge,County of Lanark, Scotland. Thank you Bill
I served in the Falklands in 1982 And I would be interested in any of your comments.

im wondering what you can tell me about william hallows wife sarah brett. we may be related im not sure but it'd be interseting to find out
I absolutely loved your funnies section. It kept me entertained for an hour while I was at work.
too small writeing on fact page
Hi - your website is excellent! Your Samuel Bate from Werrington is my great-great uncle! His brother, Thomas, came to South Wales and was a farmer/haulage contractor, his son was Charles, his grandson was Harry, his gt grandson was William John (my father). Thanks for all the Essex/Bate info that I didn't know before. Good Luck with the research
while browsing i spotted royal navy and photography on yourpage bells!!!! i was in the navy from 1949to 1961 as a p,o, photographer your photographs are very good your jokes? ?? happy new year to you regards ken slater
Hello! Yours seems to be the only in depth study of the Murrell family tree on the internet. My grandmother was named Florence Murrell, and her sisters were named Rose and Dora. They were born in Birmingham between 1890 and 1900. I know nothing of their parents, other than their surname. Not sure if this is of use to you, or if you know of anyone researching this branch of the family? Good luck in your work. Regards, Sarah
Your site is saving me a lot of hours. I stumbled on it when looking for my ancester Ellen Robinson, born in Orsett abt 1814. Putting that in Google brought your site up and more Robinsons than I know what to do with. My Ellen Robinson married (baptised 18th sept 1814) a Wiiliam Armstrong (Scottish soldier)in Woolwich in 1839, had a child called Janet who was my mother's grandmother. My mother was a Browne, but I don't think related to the one in your tree. Mum married a Welshman in Wales. Although one of my brothers now lives in Southend I live in Cornwall which makes looking in Essex records a slow business. Incedentally Ellen's elder sister Emma, baptised 27th Sept 1812, was born 30th Aug 1811. Thank you for your site Regards John
Nice! I will come back again.
just found your site while surfing, saw the name Blatch this is my family name, my ancestors origionate London areas, wonder if yours are anything to do with mine????
Nice site. Enjoyed your interest in Carriers. I was arrester gear officer in EAGLE when we were trialling the water tube gear which eventually went into ARK Royal.RAE BEDFORD did brilliant work to develop this gear. Was then Flight Deck Engineer in ARK ROYAL and then trials and design approval manager at DG Ships, Bath. Anyone who has not worked on a carrier flight deck with steam catapults has missed an engineering treat!!! Regards from Gold Coast, Australia
Many thanks for access to your genealogy on Origins. One of my great grandmothers was Elizabeth Kett,daughter of George Kett (the one born in 1826, i think as her d.o.b is 1860). I live in Buckhurst Hill so I am still very close to my roots and have just started my genealogy reseach. The information on your site has been a great help in filling in some gaps. Regards Marilyn Jackson

Very interesting site - just tripped over it while browsing when I should have been working so will come back another time! Just noticed way down the comments field someone enquiring about Murrell's in the Grimsby area. My parents/grandparents lived there for a while (but didn't hail from there). I know my parents were married at Laceby church just outside Grimsby.

hello. This site is very good.
Do you know anything of an Edward Brett of St Johns Green Colchester, he may have been a Dr circ 1850's :~) annie
Hi, I am looking for descendents of the Bowers family in Newcastle, England. My mother was born there, her mother was Rebecca Moffat, who died at age 30. She had married John George Bowers. who was from Sunderland, I believe. Rebecca Moffat Bowers died in 1900. My mother was born in 1897. She had a brother Robert, then later a step-mother, Martha, and 3 step-sisters and one or two step-brothers. They emigrated to Illinois early 1900's.
Hi again Steve.....finished perusing your site, though I gave the jokes a miss...appreciated the funnies on the cats page though. Re my previous message I thought you might find it interestingthat we have a Saville involved with us at the Forum...I will pass on your details
Hi Steven.....met you at the last TRUG meeting...we spoke briefly about websites and you kindly offerred some possible assistance to our Forum. I shall examine what is on show here and get back to you soon regards maggie
Greetings from a fellow OU student (and member of OU staff). I completed T171 in 2000 and have just submitted my ECA for M150. I have completed a number of smaller OU courses inbetween these (10 pointers). Like the site, like the OU info as well as your cats!
I have just came across this site and it seems to be very interesting. My father's name was Eugene Ellingford, son of Samuel Ellingford. Most of the Ellingfords I remember are in Wyoming, but I know they came from England. I have to find my geneology book to list more information. If anybody is interested in writing me about the Ellingford line, please drop me a line.
Interesting site. Nice to meet you. 'http://jokes.fastlook.net'> jokes about george bush been stupid
Name:
A chap recently e-mailed me addressing me as Commander Goodhart. In my reply I suggested his sources were a bit out of date as I had not been a Cdr since 1960 and had retired as a Rear Admiral in 1973. He said he had got the title from your website which is how I come to be visiting it. Excellent piece you have written about the angle, mirror, steam catapult. If i may offer one small criticism, I am not confident that your average reader will recognise square lights/reflections as easily as they would circular. As a matter of interest it looks more like the reflection of a low sun in a bad mirror. Good luck. Nick Goodhart
HI THERE i lived with alexander zass in hockley, betty and sid as well, my dad was trained by him, trevor barnett, samson.
Wonderful site. I am searching for any information on my relatives - my father, Anthony E Murrell, was born in Wales, but I've read our last name hails from the French, although its variations of Morrell, Murell, Morel, and the like do not share French connection.
Just a quick hello from New York City. I found your site when I did a Google search of my own name. My father's family is from Sunbury-on-Thames. If you would like any information on them or think it might be useful in your research, please feel free to drop me a line. George Burles
Hi there, Just looked at your website on aircraft carriers and early aviation acheivements and wondered if you had any info on Frederick Bernard Fowler who started the eastbourne Aviation Company before 1914. He was reputed to have been the first person to have flown from a carrier. If he wasn't he could have been one of the first. He also took part in the sempill mission in 1921 to teach the Japanese Navy to fly, regards Richard Fowler.
Hi Steven
Keep up the good work I am also looking for relatives of Robert Land from Chedgrave Norfolk but married and lived in Southwold Suffolk can any one help please Regards John Land
I just found your website 2nite and I am very interested. My mothers maiden name is KNOWLES Born 1938, she refers to her nan as nana ELLINGFORD and she originates from the corringham/stanford-le-hope area. Both names appear on your listing for William Ellingford. My nan WINIFRED ANN had a brother BEN. She married ALBERT who had a brother who married a lady called May. I don't know much else at the moment but I will try to see if we link into your tree. Thank you JEAN

I wonder if your father, Ralph Hayden, has also looked for his ancestors? I found a note from 1998, where a Ralph Hayden looked for the Neubeizer name. I belong to that family, and I have written to him, but do not have the right e-mail address.Is that your father? Yours sincerely, Kirsten Enggaard Hansen, Denmark

Liked the Windows for Geordies. I live in Washington DC and help to organise Toon Army North America. Also interested in genealogy. My father's family came from Blyford in Suffolk, before they moved to the shipyards on Tyneside in the 1850's.
Hello, I've enjoyed looking at your website and would be very interested to know about your family connection with the Savills. My gg/grandfather Howard Shaw Savill was in the shipping trade (followed his dad Walter of Shaw Savill)- i have a copy of part of the family tree which dates back to a Henry Savill, baptised at Little Easton, May 21, 1654 and buried there in 1724. I think I've spotted a few other descendants on this noticeboard - hello there! Best of luck with your OU courses. I'm in my second year with the OU and trying to get to grips with M150 ;o) But I'm enjoying it. I'll look out for you on FC. Zoe Greenwood/nee Savill

Hi, I used to know a family called Savill from Essex - they were based in Ongar. Henry Savill is head of the family, wife Gillian with three sons, Hugh, Ted (Cecil) and Ben.
You have a wonderful website and I wish you well in tracing your relatives. My maiden name was Murrell - my paternal grandfather was from England. Keep up the good work
Hello again, I have now fully perused your web-site - and it really is fantastic. The photographs were great - makes me want to return to the U.K. for a holiday. Bye, Pam. (and thank you)
Great web site - I wish you were related to me! I am looking for my g.g.grandfather's family who lived in Essex. John Horsnell was born in 1812 at Brentwood, Essex. England. He married (?) and in 1839 migrated to Australia. His wife died at sea. I have been unable to find any other information about him. You have done so much work on your families - well done.

Hi Steven, I have just spent the entire Saturday on your website I have just started to try and trace my family your site was the most helpful. I have found out so much and I am pretty certain I have tracked the right history. I am an Ellingford by origin and thought it would be easy with such an unusual name, not quite. My great-grandmother I think is Mary Ann Martha Ellingford there is nothing about her on the sight, I do know she never married but had a son William David which I am having difficulty tracing.When she was alive she was visited by a neice called Rose if this sounds familiar to anyone please contact me I would be so grateful. Once again a brilliant site thank you.
Just a quick hello from George Edward Burles III in New York City.
I am researching my roots in England..Thomas Folgate shows up in the 1790 USA census..I am trying to figure out where and when he came from England or if he had parents who came over from England earlier
Hi there Just surfing your site, very interesting and I love the layout. I am doing the T171 OU Course. How did you find it? On waiting for result for TMA03. Can you give me any pointers on the ECA? Thanks Maj

Great website! I enjoyed browsing through it.
Great site. We are looking for the Wright Coat of Arms. My grandfather had one I remember at his house but not sure which grandchild received it.
heh nice signs
Wondering if you have any more details re Griggs I aslo have Griggs from essex primarily Chelmsford and Hitchin Jennifer
Great site Steve! www.welcome-sitering.com
I just read your thing about Coke and water. Very interesting. I once did a science experiment what effect Coke and other soft drinks had on nails. It turns out that all Coke did was prevent the nails from getting rust. Wierd huh??? Well anyway, cool site and check out my site at www.geocities.com/skyliner_rocks Later.
Hello I came across your website when trawling through my past. I was a member of 849 NAS back in the early sixties. I was on HQ Flight at Culdrose and then on "B" flight aboard Victorious and Hermes. I was actually a member of the COD aircraft crew which was a Mk 4 AS Gannet converted to carry mail and spares from shore to ship. It also carried Flag Officer Aircraft Carriers when he was on board. If you are interested in picking my brains then please feel free to e mail any questions. regards J Brown
Steven. I too have an interest in Carrier Equipment, stemming from a fascinating few years at R.A.E. in the late 40s as an Experimental Officer in Cdr. Beard's Carrier Equipment Division of Boddington's Naval Aircraft Department. My main concern was with Arresting Gears, the vertical ones being proofed for the future (yes!) Ark Royal and Eagle. I'm that old. A few years ago I put together a monograph on Catapults, Arresting Gears, Barriers and Light Guided Landing Aids derived from much to-ing and fro-ing to the F.A.A.M, and various learned societies - RINA, IMechE et al. It's about 40K words long and in A5 format off the computer. If you like I'll send you a copy. No publishers that I've approached are interested - It's a bit technical of course, but Aeroplane Monthly are going to include some summaries in future. Get in touch if you're interested. No cats please - not my scene! Regards Ralph L.
Steve, re your computer funnies, 15 months ago (and to some extent, today, as you can see from my previous post) that was me. Have pity on us, we have to start somewhere! Needed a tonic, nearly peed from belly laughs, Grannies cannot take this much humour. Keep adding them please.
Sorry, had forgotten to fill in name & email fields. My head is sewn on so cannot forget that! Linda.
Sorry, forgot to fill in name & email fields. My head is sewn on so cannot forget that!! Linda.
Hello Steven and Linda, first time here for me, thank you for the site, shall be back to dip in as time allows. My Murrell ancestors are the Sheerness/Isle of Sheppy (& London families) shown on one of Don's chart's. Paternal gran was nee Murrell (rose Elizabeth). It has saved me much detecting to have Don's ready made version, he is marvellous, and I thank him. Reading about your computer courses made me think of Donovan, he has had to ditch his very old one. His family rallied round and he is using 'windows '95, I think he said? with all the gear, maybe coming online too? He has to learn how to use the technology though, which he said is not giving him an easy time. Brings back memories for me!! I am sure it will be second nature for him soon. I am still working on my Murrell's, have discovered on the 1901, a second wife, Christina Murrell who died (need the cert') in Maldon 1944, age 86, born in Wales, spouse of my Edward Murrell. Did I see you had Murrell's there. Probably no connection, might help eliminate if you have any loose ends though. Thank you again for this site, regards, Linda.
sir,i want to know a little more about the working and desing of a steam catapult they use on a carrier and why is the starting dek on the carrier in an angle on the dek many thanks for an answer vandoorne paul belgium

Other siblings, Robert 6/49,William 3/51, Margaret 3/53, Henry 3/58 and of course, Jane. Grandfather Robert was born in Norwich in 1804 and died in 1871. He and wife Phebe are buried in Buckhurst Hill at the parish church. They had seven chidren in all. The last four were born in Chigwell between 1834 and 1841. Henry born in 1836 was my great grandfather.He went to Wangaratta in Australia in 1857 becoming a policeman,then publican and Hotelier;died in 1882.
The "Carrier Aviation" page is concise and excellent! FLY NAVY! My family (Froelich and Huber) has been involved in U.S. Naval Aviation since 1932, and I experienced the transition from the straight wooden deck carriers to the modern ones. Thanks Brits.

Dear Sir or Madam, We were in Hockley on last December 30th, as we are very much interested in a person called Alexander ZASS. We want to write an article about Zass for an Odessa newspaper. Zass was a very famous athlete and strong man, born in Russia. He had a big influence on the development of bodybuilding and circus techniques. He probably lived in Hockley from the twenties, and surely died there in the fifties or sixties. As far as we know, he should be buried on St Peter and Paul graveyard, but we were not able to find the tombstone. The stone should have an inscription in Russia and English. We also woul like to make contact with a Hockley couple called Estoll or Astoll; they seem to have known Zass personally. Also we are looking for his pupil, also a circus artist called Trevor Barnett. He does not seem to live in Hockley, but does sometimes come and tens the grave of his trainer. We shall be extremely grateful to you, if you could help us with our research. Yours sincerely, Sergey and Greet Zemtsov-Vanhassel Heistraat 289 2610 Antwerpen (Belgium) greet.vanhassel@pandora.be
Enjoyed your web site
Your jokes r really funnie I never herd them before but there really funie send me some in my E-mail address and you'll be sure to hear from me! ..:*Janice*:..
Loved your cat story. Good luck with the OU. I was one of the "E" intake (i.e.1975) when OU was already 4 years old and went on to complete my BA (Hons). Lots of hard work but well worth it - I wanted to jack it in every time a TMA was due. I guess everyone feels like that at times, especially when friends are having fun & plenty of time to read, socialise or watch tv. Well worth it in the end, though. Regards
Wondering if any family connection? I also have Griggs family from Essex: Henry Griggs born about 1797 Sons William and Henry born 1819 Chelmsford essex Both married women from Hertsford. William remained in Essex Henry went to London If you think may be any connection contact happy to share information Jennifer Australia
I came to this site by searching for information about the genealogy of the Stein family. Wish you'd had more, especially a picture (or one of your photograph's) of the Stein family crtest. Thanks
Interesting site. Am interested in tracing my family history.Am 20yrs old and live in brisbane, australia. Would be nice to hear from someone about my family history. Thanks....
very informative website.
My grandfather married Willelmina Murrell who was from somewhare north of Charleston, S C. I have the Murrell Bible and believe her father to be James D murrell and her mother Mary L. Hughes. If this is any help to you in your search, please let meknow. Harold
not a bad site . if you know any murrell's from grimsby please email me thank you.............
Browsing through the Savills page, a few names caught my interest ie. George, Jack, Rose. I have been in touch before but I now know a few more names from my blood line. My gfathers name was Arthur Thomas Savill, resident in Stanford-le- Hope at time of marriage in 1919, winessed by Herbert Walter Savill. Can't seem to find links (if any). Doug
For Tricia Ellingford - I have emailed a reply to you. Did you receive it okay?
One of the better sites I have visited. Very easy to use and there is lots of information - some of the sites I have been to just hold the names and nothing else. Keep up the good work. It would seem that you are moggie fiends. I love the pictures of your cats. I have four moglets at home Jessie, nearly 18 years, Tinky about 7 to 8 years, Tyson about 6 to 7 years (believe you me he lives up to his name) and Poppy about 5 to 6 years. The last two found me. ( I think the local cat population know that I am a soft touch!)
Steve, sorry but this is mainly for Linda - I am not being discriminating honest. Linda e-mailed me I believe last year but I have had a very poorly e-mail system since I had the BT Surf n Turf as I call it connected to the computer at home. I have been having problems receiving e-mails. Last Saturday I received some 96 e-mails from out of nowhere many going back to last year. So many apologies for me not getting back to Linda thus far. Now I am receiving e-mails I cannot send them in the usual fashion - I think there is going to be a long and expensive phone call to B.T. this Saturday morning! Anyway less of computers Linda was enquiring about the Ellingford family of which I am a junior member (although I think I am a bit older than you). My branch of the family stems from Great Wigborough i.e. from Thomas Ellingford born approximately 1714 at Great Wigborough who married an Alice Dines born approximately 1717. They were married on 6th March 1738 in Great Wigborough Parish Church. Thomas died on 10th February 1748/9 at Great Wigborough. I have lots of other information - you may be able to help me make sense of some of it. Unfortunately my branch of the family was well away from the main lot down in Essex. My Great Grandfather Horace Senior was one of 15 children. His parents were Thomas Ellingford who married a Sarah Gosling. Grat Granddad Horace moved up to Lincoln with the Railways (he was a boilermaker) and he settled his family there (seven children) My grandfather was Horace Junior. My grandfather always wanted to join the Navy but my great grandfather forbade it. He ended up being a fitter/engineer (made traction engines etc that you see at the steam rallies. Horace Junior had two children Basil and Michael. I am Michael's oldest child (43 on May 3rd) I also have a brother David who has two lovely boys Christopher aged 8 and Andrew who is 4 tomorrow. I am a Legal Secretary to a Partner Solicitor who specialises in childcare matters and currently have no children of my own (although I have two step-children). I have lots of documentation you might be interested in but being as I have this temperamental e-mail at the moment I think it would be best if I mailed it to you. My home address is 151 Aldermans Drive West Town Peterborough Cambs PE3 6BB Hope to hear from you soon. Sorry to block your guestbook here but it is the only way I can do things at the moment Regards Tricia
i am a savill! i live in somerset but i was born in essex. apparently my great grandparents came from america so i wonder if any other savills have american origin. bye.
Hello Steven and Linda, My grandmother was Julia Ann Oldfield nee Murrell, born at Dagenham, Essex,in 1878 daughter of John b.1830 and Sarah (nee Kirby) b.1833 and I was helped with information from Donovan John Murrells. He has made a one name study of the Murrell(s) and runs a Murrell(s) Family History Society and sends out a newsletter. Unfortunately he is not on the internet so requires a sae. sent to him at 428, Bedonwell Road, Abbey Wood, London, SE2 0SE. If anyone can give some info. I'm sure he can. Good lick with your other names, Pat Palmer
the web site is the best i have seen i hope one day i can do as good
Hello Steven Just come onto your site. I am a desendent of the Willingales via my mothers side. I have been researching the line for several years now and have traced most of the Essex Willingales back to the mid 1500's. The Willingale name suposably originates from an anglo saxon pioneer who established the now village of Willingale in Essex. Most of the family originates from Maldon Essex. If you or any others in your Guest book wants further info please contact me.
Delighted to see that others are researching the Willingale tree. perhaps we ought to compare notes.
Hey Hey Family online
Hullo Steven Some years ago I chased my family tree back to a George Willingale born of Elizabeth (No father) at Southminster. I visited Southminster and was given access to parish records - which were incomplete - in an attempt to establish a link with Thomas of lopping rights fame. I was not confident that I had done so and suspended the search until some time in the future! I hope you manage to develop your site so as to establish TW's descendants. With your interest in the RN you may be interested to know that the vestry in Southminster church contained furniture that had been bequeathed to it my Nelson. I retired from the RN as an engineer in 94 and now have a vineyard in Wiltshire. On Dec 7th my bubbly and my table wine was used by Malmesbury Town Council for a reception for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh - so you see at least one willingale is still persuing the rural tradition! Keep up the good work - I appreciate how much time goes into this as I maintain my own very limited site for the vineyard business at www.bowinthecloud.co.uk.
Regards
Keith Willingale
Hi Steven
Just popped in to take a look at your web site.
You've put a lot of work into it. It's looking good.
Many regards
Meg
Great web site Steven a pleasure to visit.
Can you tell me how I add a visitors book to our OU Exercise 5 front page.
Hello there. My family moved to Willingale during the second world war. They lived in a cottage next to what was then The Bell PH. This was long before my time but I was christened in Willingale Doe. Good luck with the family history!
Hi! Steven and Linda thanks for the opportunity to visit you web site, I'll email you soon Linda hope that the last email was of interest.
Regards Steve
In my family tree the names of Stephen Burles and Catherine Chittock appear. My mother's maiden name was Chittock - so I think we may be related! We also come from Wakering/Shoebury area and the family worked in the local brickfields. Would like to hear from you and maybe share some notes.
Web Ferret and I are becoming bosom buddies, it seems to find the information in the most odd of places! Shrosbrees are my go, and they are few and far between.I am a 50% er on my mothers side, so any help would be appreciated I think your site is exceptional,hope you don't mind if I adapt a few of your features into my web page.

Hi - Thanks for the Family name origins and Lopping rights history - This is interesting and very useful - I can show this to my family.
Dunno if we are related - my lot originated in Leyton, London.
My family live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
When I grew up, I had the impression the Willingale family was very small, but travelling and now via Internet, I have found references to family members all over the world.
About 20 years ago, I contacted another family who live nearby, they originated from Australia via Dundee!
Regards - Andy
I think your web site is very easy to travel around. I have been researching Saville's in Maldon, Essex but you don't seem to have any of mine on your tree! Keep up the good work. Dianne
