HI,
I am new to this!
My Essex connection is through my GGgrandfather GEORGECLARKE b. 1817 in Stowe Maries. He was a twin & his sister was SARAH ANN CLARKE who married JOHN STEVENS & lived in Woodham Ferrers & then Chelmsford.
I believe their parents were GEORGE CLARKE & MARY WRIGHT (a widow when she married George.)

Thanks PamelaP, i believe it may have been a home for unmarried mothers as Carol alison Green was working at the Colchester Co-op in Barrack Street, before having a baby. in 1965. i am unable to find any info on her other than she was about 16 or 17 at the time

Hi Elizabeth, My husband's aunt & Uncle have lived in Gt Horksley all of their lives, so he will ask them if they can tell him for you. I'll let you know what the outcome is.

Pam
