My Sister (Jo Norman) and I grew up in this house. My dad bought it at auction off the Warag, I believe. We lived at Scrutton House which is in Green Street, from around 1950 to 1961. After we left dad (Albert Norman) rented it to American Air Force Base for a few years and finally sold it to developers who converted it into the apartments.

Thoday/Thody genealogical question
Lydia Thody was born in in Willingham about 1798, but her baptism is not recorded in the parish register. She married John Askew in Willingham in 1829, emigrated to America in 1850, and died in Iowa in 1868. I wonder if anyone could tell me about her parents. Best regards, your (probably distant) cousin Michael Jennison, Washington DC USA, airhammer53@gmail.com
