The Twitchett Family

The Twitchett Family were a well established family in Belchamp Walter.

Having transcribed the burial register for the cemetery at Belchamp Walter I have documented 3 Twitchett graves.

My family lived in Belchamp Walter for many years and I am interested in finding out about the development of Belchamp Walter; when properties were built, what they were called and matching them to the censuses from 1841 to 1911. I'm looking for maps of the village, especially from 1800 onwards, and wonder if anyone else has already done research in this area.

I would like to get in touch with anyone who might be able to help.

The picture is from the Foxearth website - I have reposted it here. The comment above that says that they would like to get in touch is beyond my capabilities at the moment as this website was not the one contacted.

Here is a picture of BW school probably taken about 1905. (click on it to see it full-size). A few of the pupils have been identified but I wondered if you would like to add it to the website to see if anyone can add any more names. The boy in the back row on the far right is Harry Wright. In the middle row, 3rd from the left is possibly Clara Twitchett and on the far right is Nellie Pettit. In the front row, from left to right, Annie Wright is holding the slate, and next to her is William Wright and Elizabeth Wright.

The information that Lynette Hards is looking for could be found on tempusfugit.me.uk - the Foxearth site is more general and this website was created more recently.

This page is part of a series that are based on the Families of Belchamp Walter.

Information was gathered from the following sources:

Censuses for Belchamp Walter
The Burial Records for the Parish Council Cemetery
The Belchamp Walter Roll of Honour for those that served in the Great War
The War Memorial
Various local newspapers from the 19th and 20th Centuries
Word of mouth.

If your family name is the one featured on this page or you are a relative of them, please drop me a line and I will gladly try to help you in your search. Similarly, if you have information on your relative and you would like me to post, then I would be more than happy.
