The Brown and Wells families
I am gathering a lot of the history of my family from Pentlow, Cavendish, Glemsford , Borley and Foxearth.
The photo you have in Cavendish of Frederick Brown outside his bakery was my great grandfather; the lady outside is Agnes Brown nee Cook from Glemsford. She was my great grandmother.
In the main photo, 'The photo club 1903', there is a man nearly at the front with a moustache. I think he may be Sidney Wells, farmer, of Pentlow. He farmed from 1902 until 1932 at Pentlow Hall Farm. (now Pentlow House). I have a family photo of the Wells family, late 1800s, and Sidney looks like the man with the moustache. This old photo also shows his mother, Matilda Theobald, from Borley.
I have been researching the Wells family of Cavendish, and the Brown family. I have found them all back to 1700, which includes other families.
My mother was born at Boxed Hall to Charles Wells. Ethel Brown & Sidney Wells bought Hooks Hall and Moores Farm in 1919.
I found the information on your site; it has been very useful

He married Hannah Chatters, the sister of my great-great-grandfather George Chatters of Glemsford, at Cavendish in 1846 but he deserted his family soon afterwards. Does anyone have a connection or know of the fate of James?

Hello Mary,
All my information regarding the Wells has come from Ancestry and LDS sites. The latest info coming from Ben Oakley's tree (who I cannot make contact with through either e-mail or pm.)
I have also looked at Foxearth but not sure which, if any, of the Wells mentioned belong to my tree. Except for Susan!
I will pm you.
Diane
Fantastic pictures! My site does have some Wells and Browns from Glemsford and Cavendish. Feel free to have a look and make sure you get in touch if you want any further information I may have (I don't publish all my research on the site)
