Henry Lardner Research

I wonder whether you can help? I am trying to research the history of a family who spent many years in Little Compton and were local brewers founding a number of your local pubs.
His name was Henry Lardner. Many of the pubs were sold to Flowers Brewery in 1898, however I am researching Henry Lardner back to around the period 1861-1878. Any leads that you may have would be gratefully received.

Best Regards

Are there any Jordans left in Little Compton?

Are there any Jordans left in Little Compton? My great grandfather, William Jordan, left the village in the late 19th century to work on the railway in Birmingham. He came from a large family of agricultural labourers whom I can trace back to Jonathon Jordan who was born in the village in 1806.

I know there are plenty of Jordans in the churchyard but would love to know if any are still living in the area and could tell me anything about the family.

Appeal for information

I do hope you don’t mind me writing to you but I’m endeavouring to do my family tree and find my Mum (Mrs Annette Lesley Baker)used to live in Grey Goose Cottage with my elder brother & sister. In fact my sister was born in Little Compton Jan 11th 1941. We are led to believe that Mum taught at Chastelton House but I can find no record of it ever being a school, so I was wondering if anyone in the area has any knowledge of this and whether the cottage was part of the estate. My mother and her sisters are no longer with us and my sister died last year, so my brothers & I are stuck with who to ask for more information, so would appreciate any help you can give us.

Kind regards

Kate Carr Cumbria
