Hello, I'm a distant cousin through the Boddie-Munro line.You seem to be doing some original research on my family which I've found on Ancestry. I'm the great grandson of Alexander Crawford 1865-1924. Are you interested in photos and info.

Hello, we are students of Chaoyang University of Science and Technology, and we are currently producing graduation themed productions.
The animation shows the history of puppet shows.
We are in the post-production stage and have found your music in music
We would like to ask if we can use it. We searched for "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4-YpaJU3Ho".
I hope to increase the power of video through music.
My email address is [email protected]
Thank you

Sorry, I made a mistake in my last sentence, reading your account of Thomas Chaddock Lowndes made me realise ... Mrs Chaddock returned not to Ramsdell but to Old House Green [Farm] while as you say the Williamson sons clung on to Ramsdell Hall (in desperation doubtless, after being so fabulously wealthy - did you know their mining empire went bankrupt in the 1880s?!)

I don't know how to tell you this, it's going to break your heart, but Ramsdell Hall had no connection to the Lowndes family (except for being next door to their house, Old House Green) until William Lowndes purchased it about 1815/20 ... He purchased it from Henry Dobbs, who owned it by virtue of marrying Elizabeth heiress of Thomas Cartwright (d.1794), the last of a line of Cartwrights who had lived on the site (next-door to the Lowndeses) since at least the 17th century ... The builder of Ramsdell Hall in its present form must have been his father Ralph Cartwright (1690-1778), of Newcastle-under-Lyme & Old House Green [OHG is the name of the hamlet containing the two mansions, as well as of the Lowndes house, now Old House Green Farm] ... William Lowndes lived at Ramsdell from the time of purchasing it until inheriting Old House Green [Farm] from his brother, when he moved into the smaller house and leased Ramsdell to the Williamsons ... After his death in 1844 Old House Green [Farm] was rented out to tenant farmers ... Mrs Chaddock of course returned to live at Ramsdell for the last decade or so of her life, after ousting the Williamsons ... Sorry about all this!

Thank you for your very informative website. I have only been able to trace a small amount of my Scottish family tree because my access to scottish records is limited. My branch of the tree comes from Williamina HILLYARD. One small correction is that Williamina's first son Adam continued to live with her.
Thank you again.

Hi Chris. I am looking for a link to the family in Australia. In 2010 I bought a painting in Sydney, Australia by George Sherwood Hunter 1846 - 1919 with provenance by descent through the family. I cannot see a link to Australia in the family history so well described on your site. I loose track at about the great nephew name - sake. I know the contents of his studio were held until an auction in 1990 in London. The scene is of Barbizon outside Paris. I recently visited the village. Very little artist history is available on George. Is there a resource available through the family to provide some context for the painting and George's visit to Barbizon? Thanks.

Thank you very much for so kindly sharing your family history and others. As I love Mandarin songs, I appreciate very much of the singers', too. Your site is great, Chris. Many thanks again.
