I'm very interested in establishing e-mail contact with anybody who is descended from Thomas, Alfred or John Woodgate, all of whom lived in the Kingston area in the early years of the last century. Alfred is the best known, having served as Mayor of Kingston in the 1930s.
I'm also keen to exchange information with any members of the Offer family if there are any still in the area. The family was originally from Devizes, but Robert Offer moved to Kingston and ran Offer's Dairy.
My own childhood was spent in New Malden. However, I now work in the Middle East and live in the Philippines.
Here's hoping!
