VisitorsThis visitor's page is here to allow you to make comments which can be contentious or complimentary; can be about the village, the parish council, the web-site or indeed any other matter of concern or interest to the village and villagers of Caston. How wonderful it is to see people from as far away as Australia and America write in but it's equally fantastic to hear from those still local to Caston and elsewhere in the UK. Please don't leave without letting us know you were here and, particularly if you are outside of Caston, then the area you come from. (The last five comments are shown in full but click on the headlines of the others in order to reveal them.) Just click on "Add a new message" below.
Edward Richard Walter Partridge (ERW) Before meals, my grandfather ERW Partridge would pray,"For what we are about to receive may the Lord make us truly thankful." And I'm truly thankful for receiving Caston-online! ERW and children were interned by the Japanese in Changi, Singapore. After the war, 6 of HIS CHILDREN, all born in his bungalow on his own rubber estate in Sitiawan, Malaya were still alive but have now passed away. JOSEPH (Josephine), MARY (Edelweiss, Cynthia, Sidney Walter), ROBERT (Noel, Merle, Joan), CHRISTABELLE (Yolande, Yvette), CATHERINE (Avril, Vincent, Valerie) and VIOLET (Joy, Keith) His living grandchildren in brackets are now aged between 60 & 70 and we have our own children and grandchildren. Most live in Australia. I'd love to hear from Jane Horner who may be able to help me get in touch with Ann Wilson of Adelaide her brother Reginald Partridge & others. If anyone can help, I'm trying to find THE LINK between the Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) family and that of my Great Grandmother Ellen Elizabeth Dodgson d/o William Oliver Dodgson. I'd also love to hear from anyone from Caston or The Isle of Wight who plan to visit Melbourne. My contact details will be given to Jane Horner or John Barnes if they get in touch with me. Love to all and God bless. Edelweiss Posted by Edelweiss van Rooyen on 28 January 2012 What a small world we have nowadays! I have Edward Richard Walter Partridge as I think brother of Walter Ernest Clarke Partridge. I think that in 1891 both were at school at Ware, Herts. ERWP was 15 and WECP was 17. The email of Josie in Brisbane is (redacted) She will have phone nos you seek. I will tell Jane Horner we have been in touch. Lets keep in touch! Might discover more. Will help if I can. John Barnes Tel(44)1689 853666 Posted by John Barnes on 30 January 2012  Caston It was great to click on to the Caston web page. I lived in Northacre for a few years, at Clay Cottage, my great grandparents farmed at Wood Farm Attleborough. I knew the area well. I had horses when I lived in Northacre and rode throught the village of Caston, would have a drink at the Pub, so sorry to hear that it closed, I shopped at the village shop and remember the garage. I now live in Canada, have done for 11 years but miss my home county of Norfolk. Posted by Jackie Dring on 21 November 2011 Hi Jackie - I wonder when you lived in Caston? And what was your surname then? I see Clay Cottage sometimes as I know Ellis Shingfield who lives next door at The Lilacs. Maybe you knew my brother Gerald Barnes who worked at Church Farm. When I was young Harry Dennis and family were at Clay Cottage. Best wishes! John Barnes Posted by John Barnes on 30 January 2012 MacMillan Coffee Morning I am pleased to let everyone know that the sum of £327.64 was raised at last week's Macmillan Coffee Morning. My thanks to everyone who donated cakes, raffle prizes, etc. A big thank you to everyone that helped and who came along to support such a worthy cause. Posted by Helga Lindsey on 07 October 2011 Car Boot A big thank you to everyone who attended the Antiques, Collectables Car Boot on 29th August (Bank Holiday Monday). There were a total of 43 stalls of a good variety and some money was raised for Caston Village Hall. Many thanks go to Peter Hall who loaned his field for the car park. Our next event will be Easter Bank Holiday Monday so this will give you time to sort out all your garages, attics etc. Posted by Lesley Crosthwaite on 30 August 2011 Marie Curie Fund Morning We would like to thank everyone who came and everyone who helped us last Friday at the Blooming Great Tea Party for Marie Curie - we raised the amazing sum of £156.42 for this very caring cause. Thank you! Denise, Colin, Lucy and Laura Posted by Colin Bearne on 18 July 2011 View All Posts, Ever! (Could be a long page!) | Latest News - Click for Details  |
