FEEDBACK

Feedback from Barbara Drolet. Thank you for posting my query on the Bingham family. Just to clarify, we found info that my father, Frederick Bingham, lived at Elms Croft Yard, and was a gardeners helper. We think he had brothers, William, Edward & Harry. Their mother was called Ann Crayfourd and not Crayford. We are searching for info on my father, not grandfather. It seems unusual, but he was born in 1884, he had his family late in life, and died at the age of 63 in Canada. We know nothing of his family in West Farleigh. Thanks. Barbara
