| Message: | I wonder if anybody in Staple remembers my grandfather who lived in the village at the beginning of the 20th century. We believe that he may have rented "The Nursery" from "the Tapsell" family for a number of years before World War One. His name was Walter Thomas and he was married twice. He had two daughters by his first wife, Florence, whose names were Ivy and Lilly, I believe. Then, following Florence's death, he married my grandmother and had three daughters and a son. Margaret (Molly) was the eldest, followed by John, Phyllis and Dorothy (my mother). Molly, John and Phyllis were all born at The Nursery (which later became "Fancy's Folly" ) but Dorothy was born at River, near Dover, in September 1909, as, by that time, Walter had emigrated to Canada to start a new life for his family. When he had established himself there he was to have sent for his wife and children. He found a position as a gardener in Vancouver from where he sent letters home for a while but then these ceased and nothing was ever heard from him again. My grandmother and the children moved back to Hastings to live with her parents as they had nowhere else to go. My grandmother, whose maiden name was Annie Cuthbert, died in 1953; John passed away in the 1970s and Molly and Dorothy in the 1990s. As I write, Phyllis is still alive and will celebrate her hundredth birthday next year, 2008. For many years we have been trying to find out what happened to Walter and would love to hear from anybody who may know anything about him. |

| Message: | Hello - pleased to view new features on the site, including probably my aunt Gwen in the 1918 school photo. Our family Tapsell owned the Nursery market garden in Lower Road(Fancys Folly) until 1953, but mother found it a struggle. We moved to Canterbury but I'm relieved the village retains much identity. I wonder what happened to Angela Wells, the baker's daughter who played with me and lived in Jubilee Cottages down the road? It is a long time ago now. Martin Tapsell, Walmer, Deal |

| Message: | Congratulations on such a brilliant website. I found it very informative, it is a pity that other Villages and Cities etc are not so organised. We came to the Staple Fayre on Sunday. A lovely time was had by my Wife,our elderly neighbour and myself. The organisers must have worked hard and we hope they reached their target. They must have exceeded their expectations as there were no prgrammes left when we arrived, that is not a bad point if they reached their target. If you can please thank all concerned for making it a lovely day, and thank you for the great website which helped to make up our minds as to 'where to go'. i look forward to the next time. Yours Dennis Gabb (Senior Citizen) |

| Message: | Mr K. I would like to compliment you on your website: http://www.staple-online.co.uk I happened across it when I was doing an internet search for a "lynch gate"... as I had no idea what it was. The first hit was your site showing the St. James Lynch Gate. What a lovely collection of old photos you have, plus the many other links to your and village and surrounding areas (including maps!). You've done a marvelous job on this! You may wonder why I was looking for a lynch gate... our "Bodycomb" family is having a reunion next month here in Maryland and I've been making up some cards to put on the tables with info on various Welsh customs. One of the cards is about Welsh funeral customs and they mention that weddings and funerals alike pass through a "lynch gate". Our cousin in England who is the guru of the Bodycomb genealogy happens to live in Bean, nr Dartford... and I'll have to ask her if she's ever been to your village. Many thanks for creating a wonderful website for all to enjoy. |

| Message: | Just a warning to fellow villagers using the public footpath between lower rd to the village hall. The dog from the farm went for my family today through the fence and viciously bit my puppy and he required vet attention. I will be taking this up the dog warden for DDC, but please be careful in the meantime as clearly this is a ploy by the landowner to deter walkers here |

| Message: | Hi, I'm still researching the Love family who were in the Staple area during the 1800's. My particularly branch (one Stephen Love) supposedly had 3 children (illegitimately I'm surmising) as I have never found baptism records using he or his wive's names. He was transported for bigamy in 1833 but his parents remained in Staple......does anyone know anything of the Love family 1800s? regards Ingrid. P.S good Luck Matt with your project! |

Iif his pal is descended from John of Gaunt he is more liekly to inherit Dunstanburgh Castle on the Northumberland Coast. it is in ruins and currently operated by the National Trust. He should maybe think about a house in Staple, the climate is much better and it has the benefit of two good pubs within walking distance. JB |

| Message: | Viewing your site brings back many happy childhood memories.Grandad was Richard Kemp-mill owner until 1954, father Lewis(Link)and aunt Eva Joiner. Staple was second home to me in 1950/1960s. I can still smell that delicious bread and cakes coming out of the mill ovens!! My father would have enjoyed seeing all the old photos-sadly he passed away in April this year. Mum (Joyce) played the organ for Sunday services at St. James's Church during the 1930/1940s. Good luck for your venture in the future. Best wishes Mike Kemp (Nonington) |

| Message: | Brilliant website, although once again, Shatterling seems the Cinderella in terms of information, pictures etc. Would really be interested to know more about the history of our house, Shatterling House, or it's former owners. Will put your website onto "favourites" and show the rest of the family |
