NAMES FROM A BOOK ON BRAINTREE AND BOCKING
===========================================================================
This book is an excellent & very readable history of Braintree and
Bocking, Essex (nr Chelmsford & Colchester) by the former Deputy Head
of a Braintree School. Braintree and Bocking were very large villages
for their time and were strong in cloth manufacture.
The book seems to be produced to a high standard and is full of names
as the author illustrates his topics with extracts from contemporary
records. He appears to have drawn heavily on records held in the Essex
County Archives and probably not elsewhere published.
There is a copy of the book in the NZ National Library in Wellington.
I was using it for some personal research and was struck by the wealth
of names. It seemed well worth sharing it.
Some names appear twice. This can usefully offer more information.
But some apparent duplicates are often different people.
Mike Foster, Wellington, 1993
