| Kate Langford | |
 |
My maternal Grandmother, Kate Langford, of whom I
idolized, was born in Stretham on the 28th August 1911, the fourth child
of John Langford & Harriet Ann Sindall. Sadly by the age of 9 she was an
orphan, but her Aunt, Kate Pates (nee Langford) her father's sister,
raised her into adulthood

| Family Tree | |
| When I started researching my family tree 5 years ago, I
did not know where to start, I only knew that my Paternal Great
Grandparents were buried near the village in Hampshire where I grew up in,
but with the help of a lot of amateur genealogist, some with many years of
experience I was soon finding my feet. Having built up a large database of Ancestors and the families they married into, I was looking for my next project and inspired by a website from my home village, I have set out on the task of creating a similar site for the village of Stretham |

| The Stretham Site | |
| The aim of the Stretham site is to record all the families
that were either born or lived in stretham, and to also include their
descendants to show how far people have moved away from the village as
time has passed. It is also the aim not only to record the families but to try where possible to link them into trees. You will find that many people are entered onto the site more than once. Quite simply this is unavoidable, as it is not always possible to link someone to the right set of parents. Examples of this would be where people share the same name as someone else in the village of similar age. Obviously post 1837 I hope that descendants of some of these families make contact, and are able to link children to the right parentage by means of documentation. As you can appreciate it would be cost prohibitive for me to purchase certificates |
