A letter from Canada
Middletonia has recieved a letter from a great great great great grandson of our very own Harbord Harbord (Lord Suffield) in Canada!
Stewart Addley e-mailed after finding the site in a search whilst doing his own research of his family genealogy and discovering he was a descendant of the Suffields who played a major part in the development of Middleton during the industrial revolution of the 1800's.
Stewart wrote, "I came across your site doing a Google search whilst doing my family genealogy and found your information on Harbord Harbord or Lord Suffield. This gentleman would be my 4th great Grandfather as his daughter Katherine Harbord of Suffied married Jack Petre and his son John Berney Petre married a commoner. The marriage was supposed to have been annulled. I have not found documentation of the marriage or annulment but I do have documentation proof that they did have children, one being named Berney Seymor (Petre) my great grandfather. I have found my quest very interesting in finding out about my family history. I also have information on my website." www.starsplace.com
Stewart goes on to say, "Family means a lot to me, even if we are talking more than 100 years. I always wanted to know how I came to be. Not that this changes me as a person but gives me peace of mind knowing my family history. I have come from Lords and Barons and land owners to a middle of the road working class person enjoying life as I go along my own journey on this planet".
