wow! William Henry Honeybourne was my great uncle. Rose's mother was named Lenora Poulter, and she had at least 3 sisters: Emily, Kate and Minnie. William had two brothers and a sister... Charles, Walter and Florence. I have letters from GG Lenora to my grandfather, Charles and to my G Aunt Florence...

Jame's uncle William was born in 1866...

I've attached a picture of all the kids the day they were sent to the Barnardo orphanage. Rose died in 1888 and James died in 1890

Hello:
My fathers Name was Bill Honeybourne. He met my mother whilst living at Astwood Bank in a home called "Honeybourne Farm" He was a well known and renown classical pianist, and Motorcyle enthusiast, ( both of which have been passed onto me. ) Before meeting Bill Honeybourne, My mothers name was "Crook", who went on to join the D'oily Cart'e opera Company.
I never saw Bill ( my real father ) but was raised by My step father ( John Turner ) from the age of about 7 years old.
My Nan ( Who lived in NEW ROAD ) formed the Astwood Bank Dramic Society, and became a household name in the midlands.

If anyone can relate to this or knows more about our family,..please respond to this posting.
Many thanks
Mike Turner

I am in the search of helping my friend trace her Grandfather. He was an American called Theodore Bell who was based at Honeybourne in Evesham,Worcestershire,Eng, during the 1940s.

My friends nan Anne Lloyd/Smith who has unfortunately passed away, had a relationship with Theodore they had a one son about 1945, Theodore knew of his son and returned from states when his son was about one year old, took him to doctors etc we believe.

Anne had a friend called Doll/Dolly Morris, her mother was called Winnie, we believe doll actually left for the states with her partner and married. They all lived in the Modern Dwellings in Worcester near the River Severn.

Any one who may know any information, however little please please ring Tania on 07816 220338, or my friends email above.
