Thank You From Zoe Raymond

You may remember 11yr old Zoe Raymond from Blackdown putting out a request at the end of September for your used stamps in memory of her Grandad Lloyd Curtis (You can read the original post HERE).

A happy Zoe delivered her first donation to Weldmar Hospice yesterday.

The total weight of the used stamps collected was 72 oz (just over 2 kg) which converted into a £40 donation to the Weldmar Hospice.

Zoe continues to collect used stamps for her second donation. If you have any stamps (please leave at least 1cm of envelope around the stamp) please contact Zoe and her Mum, Sonia on 01460 30471 who will arrange their collection.

Thank you again for your support & well done Zoe!

Trying to Trace Hutchins Family In Broadwindsor…

The photograph shows Linda Hutchins Taniguchi. Linda plans to visit the village next May (Covid allowing) from the USA.  Linda has provided the following information in the hope of moving forward with her quest to trace more of her family…

Linda’s Hutchins family was from Broadwindsor back to Mathew Hutchins (1640-1708) who is buried in the cemetery. His son was Hugh Hutchins (1667-1727), is also buried there.

Hugh‘s wife was Mary Knight and Mathew‘s wife was Margaret (surname unknown). Hugh‘s son was Thomas Hutchins who travelled to the USA in the late 1600’s or early 1700’s and settled in one of the original 13 colonies, Massachusets.

Does anyone know of any Hutchins still in the area?  If you have any information on these families that you can share, Linda would really appreciate it! Linda also asks if there is anything in the area named after Hutchins?

Please contact info@broadwindsor.org if you can assist.

Thank you!
