I was born in Aveley and lived in North Stifford and Upminster. Dad born in Loughton and Mum in Chadwell St Mary. So I am Essex through & through. Weird thing is I now live in Lincolnshire, which we have recently discovered is where my Dad's family originated from in the 1800's - amnd we always thought they were London/Essex born too! Didn't think Wife Swap the other week did Essex women any favours, though. :-(

I was born in Ipswich, but have lived in the Colchester area since 1960. Most of my ancestors come from Essex too. In fact I now live in the same village (Elmstead) where my g-g-g-g-grandfather was born and married, although I only found this out last year Roz
