Now that I am approaching 91 years of age, I have begun the process of discarding accumulated documents, papers and photos in anticipation of the task that will befall my family. I was delighted to find postcards of Willingdon bought when I visited there in 1973, yes, unbelievably almost fifty years ago!
My great-great-grandfather Samuel was born and baptised in Willingdon in 1803 and he was married to Martha Balcombe there in 1828. Previous generations of Mewetts had been born and baptised in this village.
Family historian Darryl Mewett has published an excellent book titled Willingdon to Park Farm, Samuel and Martha Mewett. I have written a review of this book and will post it on this blog after I have emailed a copy to Darryl for his approval.
