Find Ancestors

I am trying to track down where my friends Grandparents lived. Unfortunitly he lost contact with family and he wishes to be buried near to his Grandparents. My friend is 81years and his memory isn't as good as it was. I managed to get his grandfathers death certificate and he was a Oscar .E.C,Law died 1957 and all it has as an address is Warren Cottage, Stansted. I know it was a farm cottage (thatched) and he says it was close to a church. I have spent hours trying to find it but no joy.
I am hoping that someone out there knows of its where abouts, it could help me in finding out where his Grandparents are buried.

I found that cottage the other day on another posting - it's not thatched now and it's up for sale - shall see if I can find it again

just nudged the posting up -

it's a posting by Tracy on Albert Law

1911 for Grandad.? Maybe buried in the Church that he lived opposite then?

I've looked up that one but i couldn't find a name for it.. I have googled it and i couldn't see a thatched cottage. he did say they moved around abit. He biked to Stansted Air Port from Warren Cottage.

Sorry about that Ann, I had a security scare on my computer, had to change alot of passwords/names etc

no probs!! did you look at that estate agents site where I found it?

Ann said that it NOT thatched now on the estate agents details...

In the 12th century Hatfield was under Crown ownership and deer were bred to supply the King's table. Nobody but the King and his cronies were allowed to hunt and hapless peasants, if caught killing animals in the forest might have their hands cut off, or worse still be executed. By 1446 the forest was owned by a succession of families, including Robert the Bruce, but the last owners from 1729 to 1923 were the Houblons, descendants of the founders of the Bank of England. Today sheep and cattle still graze on the open grassland, barely changed since Norman times, and you might catch a glimpse of shy fallow deer or the smaller Muntjac deer in the coppices.



Directions 1 From the car park follow the surfaced road for 350yds (320m) and at the concrete spur path bear half left across pastureland. After 250yds (229m), go through the wooden gate passing coppiced hornbeam woods to the lake on your right. Bear right for 70yds (64m), to cross the dam dividing the lake, home to many birds throughout the year, and follow the path to Shell House.


2 Leave the car park at Shell House. Turn left and follow the path south, with the smaller lake on your left, to the wide grassy path until you reach a 'wantz', an Essex word for a junction where rides intersect. You are now at Collins Coppice. Turn right here, on to the wide grassy bridleway for 250yds (229m) and bear right on to the plain, making for Forest Lodge in the distance. Keeping the Lodge to your left-hand side, continue north on the wide plain passing Warren Cottage on your right.
