Introduction

This booklet contains the biographies that, for one reason or another, did not make it into my previous Ringstead books or have been substantially revised. I have enjoyed all the time that I have spent over the years on this work but I think that now is the time to stop. I know that there will continue to be errors found and additions needed to most of the stories, but I hope that they will help future writers and family history researchers to tell a better story of the men and women of Ringstead. I am aware also, when I look through the books that I wish that I had had a good proofreader or been a better one myself.
