Christine McNeal 17 Sep 2007		I am trying to trace the whereabouts of my late grandfathers holding in Ruckinge. He was William Thrussell and he lived with his wife in a bungalow holding. There was a row of Asbestos type bunglows with a large field holding behind. I visited in 1950 and remember a lane of bungalows with a small village shop opposite. He died in 1959 and when I visited Ruckinge last year I copuld find no-one who could tell me where these houses were or what happened to the site. His holding was called Benaceres and I am trying to trace anyone who could tell me where it was situated. Hoping someone locally will hae knowledge of this, Many thanks C.McNeal
