Steph from France looking for British ancestors

[Ministeph]

Hello everyone!

I'm Stephanie, 25, from France. Recently I started building my family tree and realized that even living abroad, I could find quite a lot of information on my British side of the family thanks to the Internet! :) So here I am, on this new forum! :D

My mum was born in London in 1950 and her parents were English. Her dad was George Walker and her mum Gladys Wilson. Further ancestors were called Winepress, Blake, Larman, Kent... Quite a few rather common names which don't help me much for my researches but I managed to go up to 1821 with the birth William Winepress in Sandy, Bedfordshire! :) Now I would like to find information on William's parents and family, as well as his wife's Jane Larman's family (she was born in 1827 in Enfield). Of course, I am also looking for information on the other branches of my tree : Walker, Blake, Kent but I am aware it may be much more difficult. So if anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

In advance, thank you very much and sorry about my english!

Best wishes,

Steph.

Welcome Stephanie,

May I say that I am English and live in France. Whilst my French is good enough for day to day purposes, I wish it was as good as your English!

Bienvenue, et bon chance!

I just found Jane Larman, who I mentionned in my post yesterday was born in 1827 in Enfield. Her parents were William Larman and Mary. I don't know any dates though. Would that match with your Larmans? I'll try and get more info.

All the best,

Steph.
