  • The Hale Brothers

    If anyone has researched that far back, there was a John Hale of Royston who wrote a will in 1701: probate was granted in May 1704 suggesting he died in the first half of that year (I can supply a copy). The will mentions a brother William Hale, and his wife was Elizabeth: at least one of his descendants married into the Wortham family, who were a significant family in south Cambridgeshire at that time. Royston/Meldreth are not that far apart, there may be a family connection to later Hales.

    I wondered if you knew that Meldreth had an active Red Cross group?

    I belonged to it in the 1950’s.

    A Mrs Dainty was in charge, also my mother a nurse.

    There was a Red Cross hut.

    The garage premises were not on Baldock Road, Royston but on Old North Road – just where it joins with Kneesworth Street. Indeed it was known as North Road Garage.

    Thankyou for your comment Pam. I’ve updated the web page. Tim
