Hi Mike When did they give Willoughby a change of name was always known as Waterless when I was living in Countesthorpe in 40/50's. Has it been taken over by the upwardly mobile? Ken Hastings Hunua nz |

Greeting's Ken. . . . Good question there re name change ... not sure but guess it was resent.... I did ask the Lady yesterday and all she said was that on her birth cert it was Waterless and I put her in her mid 50's ......I've just had a quick look round on the net Looks like the change was some time between 1992 -2002 but will check it out and get back to you Yes the " Green Wellie Brigade " are taking over in both villages if you type into goggle the name of the villages they both have their own sites. . . .
