A warm welcome to you from the Buckinghamshire Family History Society. Founded in 1976,
we are a group of over 2,000 family historians who have been helping each other with their research.
We are family historians who either have ancestors from Bucks or live there (or both!).
Why not have a look around and see if we can help with your genealogy.
Hello, I am trying to pinpoint who first owned my white 1967 Jaguar Mk2 Saloon, which, according to a production trace certificate, was originally sold to a firm in Marlow under the name of "Clanson Office Equipment Ltd." in January of 1967. The production certificate interestingly states that the car was registered in Chalfont Saint Giles under the same company name, some 25 minutes away from Marlow. While the car could have been a salesman's car, it could also have been the owner's car (who may have lived in Chalfont Saint Giles and signed the car off under the company name). Nevertheless, the firm does not exist in the area anymore, and I don't have any sources I can go to, since I live in the United States. However, a recent website business history listing (http://www.cdrex.com/clanson-office-equipment-limited-1425436.html) mentions that the business occupied a large brick building at 81 Station Road in Marlow, and that the business was incorporated in 1964, some 3 years before the car was purchased.
I will greatly appreciate any help from any individuals who may have known a man by the name of "Clanson" who either resided in Chalfont Saint Giles and had a white Jag to commute to his firm in Marlow, or anyone who may have remembered this white Jag. The folks over at the Chalfont Saint Giles council even went as far as to publish my inquiry in their local newspaper, but had no luck in pinpointing the original owner. Perhaps you all can help answer this 44 year old question. Once again, any help would be appreciated.
Here is a photograph of the 1967 Jaguar Mk2 saloon in question, whose home was Chalfont St. Giles, Marlow, and the surrounding areas (according to record), and now resides in California, USA.
Many thanks.
Best Regards,
Steve Stone
Have You a Marlow story to share?
Introducing baby Marlow 
Hi there,
I am writing you from Toronto, Ontario where I live with my husband and 4 monthold daughter.
I grew up in Canada but my grandparents lived for 50 years in Bourne End and each summer they would bring me to Marlow where I would play in the park and have tea at Burgers. I have been visiting Marlow every year for 39years! These are some of my happiest childhood memories and I decided to name my daughter Marlow. The Toronto Star newspaper recently did a piece about how my daughter got her name and we thought you might be interested:
