Yes, the horse might have been old, I had not considered that. <br /><br />Yes, the family intermarried too much - well this branch did. My Grandfather's cousin's branch was the most affected - too many inter marriages resulting in issues with offspring.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-23465988239906541982013-01-23T01:15:48.124+00:002013-01-23T01:15:48.124+00:00great photos Julie.

Couldn't work out what the man in uniform was holding then realised it was behind him. perhaps the horse in the cart was old rather than under nourished? Great to have a pic of the grandmother (yours?) in the buggy. That was some flood. I was xurious about the marriages- unsuccessful emotionally or in terms of offspring?Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-89080455161212016642013-01-21T20:43:15.174+00:002013-01-21T20:43:15.174+00:00I had to go back and look, and I agree, the horse ...I had to go back and look, and I agree, the horse does look a bit bony.

The farm was where the University of Surrey stands now. There was two other horses, looked after by my Grandfather's other brother, Arthur. Those were called Dolly and Jack, but sadly no photographs. Pre 1930 the family farmed at Manor Farm Wanborough with a short interlude at Strawberry Farm Worplesdon.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-91705597711149615772013-01-20T12:54:56.770+00:002013-01-20T12:54:56.770+00:00My grandparents had the whole house, so what they ...My grandparents had the whole house, so what they had not moved upstairs was damaged. The army was drafted in to alert the residents that the river was going to flood. By the time they found out the water was already coming up the garden!<br /><br />They lived upstairs for 3 days. No evacuation then! The story goes that after 3 days my Grandmother was fed up of not having a cup of tea. Without my grandfather realising she had gone downstairs to put the kettle on. He heard a bag and wondered what it was and a short while later my Grandmother came back clutching two cups of tea.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-80975797541022716382013-01-20T12:44:38.279+00:002013-01-20T12:44:38.279+00:00Wonderful photographs : the vehicles are so much m...Wonderful photographs : the vehicles are so much more interesting than the stuff you get these days.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-70650738548674142902013-01-20T12:30:08.538+00:002013-01-20T12:30:08.538+00:00My first thought when I saw your Uncle Dick was th...My first thought when I saw your Uncle Dick was that I looked at Groucho Marx :) <br />As for the flood in Guildford, I hope your grandparents did not live on the ground floor...Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-13248775418349697492013-01-20T11:54:07.578+00:002013-01-20T11:54:07.578+00:00Love the first photo.

Indeed, one of the females on this particular line - My Grandfather's cousin spent most of her life in various hospitals - that Victorian mentality for dealing with different. I am not too sure what the official diagnosis was to her admission, and I would like to find out. A fact that I had not thought of until I pulled out the photo for this post.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-60778956194792785372013-01-19T17:48:21.581+00:002013-01-19T17:48:21.581+00:00I sure wouldn't want to be driving around in a...I sure wouldn't want to be driving around in all that high water.

But, whenever I go there I seem to be slogging it uphill.<br /><br />Is the Policeman real? His Helmet looks too small and his nose too large. Maybe just the angle. When you say the Crook/Butcher marriages were not always too successful; do you mean in terms of relationship or breeding?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-34858548623038014072013-01-19T15:40:27.159+00:002013-01-19T15:40:27.159+00:00I think after the floods of 1968 they really did p...I think after the floods of 1968 they really did put in place some robust plans to prevent it further. At the time my Mum worked at Plummer Roddis (now Debenhams) and they were also flooded. The floods occurred then because of the locks not being attended to properly.<br /><br />Immediately behind the row of houses on the right of the photo (where my Grandparents lived) is the River Wey, which does still flood. I recall during the 1980s - around 87 the water came across the bank and rose that it crossed the fence at the rear of the garden and then came up the garden. It got as far as the back steps. It was close.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.com
