I would like to thank all the people who have helped me in my research. Some are good friends and fellow researchers who went well out of their way to help me where they could when I hit brick walls (and there were plenty of brick walls!).
I would also like to thank Chris Perry at the Wiltshire Family History Society for all the research that was done on my behalf and then sent to me via snail mail. It was the cheapest research I've ever had to pay for and I received a wealth of information which has been posted here.
Everybody I meet is a potential new contact. You meet someone and somehow you make your mark on them, whether it be good or bad. I happened to email the Downton Village Web Site on the spur of the moment and my email landed in the hands of a wonderful woman by the name of Mrs. Margaret Peach who is a Parish and District Councilor for Downton. She went out of her way to do a "look up" for me and sent me the Marriage, Baptism and Burial information on the ancient Eastman family members that are found here.
I have not been able to get in contact with anybody from The Times newspaper that was distributed in Downton in the early '80s. I suspect that the newspaper may not exist any more, or has been amalgamated with another paper. I give full credit to The Times and Camilla Kerr for the piece which is here and do not claim part or all of it as my own. Although I do personally own the actual newspaper clipping that was sent to my grandmother Dorothy Alice Eastman.
I would like to thank those Eastman researchers who have posted Eastman information on the internet. A lot of their email address links are no longer valid, so personal messages are impossible. I give full credit to everything on my site that belongs to or was written by any other person.
