I’m really looking forward to seeing the photo of the tree. If you can’t take a panoramic photo, take several pics of different sections of the tree, then if you have a graphics programme, you could join them together to make one photo. I’m also looking forward to seeing any Pollard photos you have – I just so love to see ancestor photos. :-)

My apologies for this late reply, but I have been having internet connection problems again, which made it difficult for me to get into the blog and to make posts!!

Kind regards,

Christine

My brother is John.He never mentioned your site to me at all. All i know is he did his research before it was on line although he had been using the computer in the last few years.
I will try to take a panoramic photo of the tree if I can find how to do it.
Then I will E Mail it to you.

Kind Regards

It’s probably not complete as such, because there’s always some ancestor to find or another line to follow. :-) May I ask who your brother is? I don’t remember being in touch with someone connected to the Pollards around the time you said your brother compiled this tree. I’d love to see a copy of it. Any chance you can take a digital pic and send it by email?

I would suggest you measure it and then ask a picture framer how much it would cost to frame something like that. It certainly would be good framed, but I think you would have to be careful where you hang it then, in case sunlight starts to fade it.

I haven’t heard back from Enid yet, about getting you two together but as soon as I do I will let you know.

Hope you’ve had a good weekend.

Kind regards,

Christine

Many Thanks for the info.I have just found a complete? Cozens Read family tree compiled by my brother about 1994. It is about 6-7ft long and have just noticed your name.It includes the Pollard Tree and the Read Tree. I would love to display it but where do I find a frame lond enough!!!!!
Now if a name comes up I can trace them on this hard copy.
I have found an Enid Pollard but she was born in 1908 so Enid from this site must be younger descendant.

Kind Regards

One is for Rachael Read and she mentions that Jeremiah Pollard (married to Catherine Read, daughter of Cozens Read – my 6 x great grandfather) is a Baker. They lived in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire. I haven’t researched the Pollards a great deal yet so have not found what other trades any of them did.

This blog does not have the wherewithall to let others apart from me upload photos to it. I would love to see the Pollard photos. I have been wanting to do a page here of photos of ancestors that have been sent by other cousins, but just haven’t got round to doing that yet. I must get it set up!! :-) If you send the photos to me at my email address readc13_99(at)excite(dot)co(dot)uk then I can then upload them here as a post about them and/or as a Page of ancestor photos from cousins.

Kind regards,

Christine

I have contacted her about you, so hopefully I will get you in touch with each other soon. :-) By all means add comments for Enid here if you want, but unless she visits the blog at times she won’t know you have written here. She is related to my Pollards, so will be a “new” cousin for you. I think I will send her another email so you can “talk” to each other.

Kind regards,

Christine

I can see you too are a Pollard.

I wonder at what point on the tree do you belong. My Great Grandmother was Barbara Fox.

Kind Regards

Does anyone have any knowledge of what occupations the Pollard family were engaged in in early 1700′s. We always assumed they farmed but we don’t have info to back this assumption.
I have a photo of a few Pollards which I would like to share but I can’t see how to upload them.

Could you help please.
Kind Regards

If you need any help, with computers and/or your family history research, I’m happy to help if you want.

I’m wondering if you saw the right blog post I did about Cozens Read’s tombstone? For a while, from how it was described to me, it seemed it was his tabletop tombstone that had collapsed. But, when two cousins each sent me pics of the collapsed tomb, I knew immediately it was that of William Read and his wife Mary (Pollard) and their daughter Mary and Mary’s husband John Moores.

For a long time now I have been trying to sort out getting a heritage grant to enable me/other Read descendants to try to restore it back to being a tabletop tombstone. I have asked someone who is one of the churchwardens there to please don’t let any of the broken bits or any bits with inscriptions on to be dumped, rather to please keep them agains the wall of the church or churchyard. Regarding grants, sometimes for this type of grant it takes six months or even a year for a committee to have a look at my request and then of course there are other requests in line before mine, so it is taking a long, long time to get a proper response. I am the Graveyard Rabbit for St. Nicholas, Lower Winchendon (have a look at the menu on the right side of my blog and click on the link to my Graveyard Rabbit blog, Ancestors At Rest. I have actually just written to the Vicar as he has become an honorary canon and I wanted to feature that at my Rabbit blog, but I have also asked him what will happen to William and Mary’s tabletop tomb in the meanwhile while I am trying to sort out a grant. We shall see what transpires.

To see the pic of the collapsed tomb of William and Mary’s and their daughter/son-in-law, go to the menu on the right of the blog. Look for Daily Blogging Themes, then Tombstone Tuesday and then click on the link for William and Mary Read and John & Mary Moores and that will take you to the blog post I did about that.

Kind regards,

Cousin Christine

I took up looking for my family tree years ago and went realy slowly until computers came along and then I had a great spurt. Was always to busy to do much researching but having just retired I have more time but am ignorant of working computers. Found your blog by accident just as my granddaughter arrived for a visit so she saved it to my favorites so I could find it again. Heard about Blogs but didn’t know what they were or how to use them. Seriously thinking about getting computer lessons to find out more.
It wasn’t your tree that particularly differed from mine. I can see you are a true genealogist and can back up all your research. I once had an e-mail from someone who boasted 15,000+ people in their tree. Can anyone have enough time to check that many. As you said perhaps they wanted their tree to look good but wasn’t too worried about it being right. Must be in our genes- it must be right.
Found the picture of Cozin Reads Tombstone. What a shame it has collapsed.I am in touch with a first cousin[ our dads were brothers]who lives near there so will ask him to find out what if anything is being done about it.
Great to be in touch with a relative who takes care with their facts. Regards Enid
