Hi Dave, I have told my brother about your entry and he is going to get in touch soon. He is in Nigeria at the moment. I couldn't place you until Dave reminded me we called you 'Norm' and then the penny dropped.

Hi,
Greetings to everyone in Dursley. My great grandmother came from Dursley and was named Harriett Hurcombe, born in about 1839. Her mother was Mary Anne Hurcombe. They lived at 115 Water Street in 1851 From the census. Does anyone know anything about them or their family or the location? I'd be grateful for any information. Neville Powell

Interested in the article re the Dudbridge Donkey. I remember it well, as we used to catch the train at Dudbridge, change at Stonehouse and then catch the train to Weston. The station in those days was always neat and tidy. Dursley memories were always of Ferris', bakers and excellent cakes. My parents had a shop in Stroud,and I used to buy large boxes of cakes from Ferris' for Mum and Dad to sell in the shop.(the doughnuts were incredible!). Moved to Canada in 1974. Good luck on your website.

I last saw Mike Greensill in Geneva in 1969 when he was playing in a band at the tour nightclub. I was with Dave Darby (Boff) and Clive Aldridge (Skipper)

Hi Norm, last time I saw Grease was in San Francisco in 1994. Not seen Skipper since 1981.

Hello my maiden name was Kathleen stock. I am now 48 years old. I moved to Dursley in 1969 and left in 1974. I attended Nympsfield school and then Rednock. We initially lived at Frederick Thomas Road then Leaside Close. I remember the following people; Benita Mears, Michael Latooshga (sorry about spelling), Nicola Chandler, Darell Wyatt, Simon Smart, Devina Harvey. It's such a long time ago. My sisters were Eileen and Joan - they were younger than me.
We were geordies and have some great memories, would be lovely if someone could remember us.

Fell across this site while looking for information about my father's family. Truly a well designed site. Dursley looks like a great place, beautiful countryside. I am sorry to see older buildings torn down but I suppose some of it is necessary.
I would like to know if there is any information about my father's great-grandfather. His name was Nathaniel Wall, b. 1811 in Stroud, m. Sarah Ann Craddock, b. 1812 in Cam. She had a brother Edward who emigrated to Sydney, Australia. Her mother was Mary Ann Spitalny of Dursley. Nathaniel was a weaver and they lived in Dursley. They had a daughter in 1836 and then emigrated to the US in 1837. Any information would be gratefully received. big grin

Hi Amanda. Thanks for the comments on the website. You might also like to try adding an entry in the genealogy section of the forum.

Andy Thursday, 5 February 2009 11:34
I think the reason they emigrated was probably due to the severe poverty caused by the collapse of the wool industry in the area at that time. There was very little work and many left to go to pastures new.

Hi, Really enjoyed visiting your site and it will not be the last! I was born and bred in Dursley (Kingshill Park)
Emigrated to Cape Town in 1970 and have worked in and around South Africa and neighbouring states ever since. Not visited Dursley since 1999 but hope to travel maybe next year and check out all the changes. My sister Christine Smith keeps me up to date as she lives in Randwick near Stroud.

Nice site. I lived and went to school in Dursley in the 60's. Well remember Mr Gale the headmaster at the primary school and Mr Edwards who was very strict but an excellent teacher.

I also recall Mrs Dallison from the infants school who was lovely.

A great place to be as a child and some nice memories rekindled by your site.

I like this site a lot. What a wonderful job. I am looking for info on Johan Berry 1500 to 1800 in Dursley and Gloucestershire. I have Johan on a tax roll for Queen Mary's war around 1550.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter Berry
