Local Houses my ancestors may have lived in
Hi All
My name is Doug Bourne and I live in Dursley Gloucestershire famous for R. A. Lister Agricultural machinery and garden furniture (park benches etc) Sadly gone now.
I am now retired, I worked in the Nuclear industry at Berkeley nuclear Laboratories in research and development, not bombs just for civil engineering.
I am now looking into my ancestry and have been lucky enough to get back to late 15th century. Many local names weave in and out as do local place names ie Bowes, Cotherstone, B Castle. Staindrop, Winston even as far out as St Johns Chapple Weardale
