Good Morning Danny,
I’ve just stumbled across your amazing website!
I moved to Fisherton Delamere in March this year and was aware of a Mary Rebbick buried in the churchyard (16??)
My dad, Geoff Rebbeck is Salisbury born and bred, and it is a complete chance of fate that I’ve ended up living here- the place where all Rebbecks in the world can trace their common ancestry.
I would love to have any information regarding the Rebbecks in the Wylye Valley that you may have. It seems there are lots buried in Fisherton according to your site, but I’ve been unable to find any gravestones other than Mary.
With thanks, Daniel Rebbeck.

Warminster Town Council have issued the following press release:
“It is with sadness that Warminster Town Council has heard the news that retired Councillor, Ultan Ryan, passed away on Saturday 28th February 2015.”
“Ultan became Mayor in the Millennium year and was voted into office on 15th May 2000. In his thank you speech at the time, he said he had made Warminster his home since 1967 and it was a place both he and his wife loved. “My clear aim is to make the town a safer place for everyone.” With a vision for the town and his leadership qualities, he and the then Town Clerk, Alan Richardson, prepared bids to the Home Office for funding to provide a fully operation CCTV system that is still in use today. The town continues to benefit from the legacy of his work with CCTV and little has changed, apart from the updating of the system that now runs in a digital format, upgraded from the original analogue. As a result of his efforts Warminster is considered one of the safest towns within the county.”
“During his time as a Councillor, due to his military links he also cultivated working relationships with the Land Warfare Centre and visiting regiments which continue to be upheld.”
“Following his retirement from local government, he regularly paid visits to Dewey House to support the work of the council and offer advice when called upon. Our condolences go to his wife Elizabeth and their family.”

Rikardo (Richard Dombkowski), who often sends poems and lyrics to dannyhowell.net for sharing with readers, has just sent us his latest song:
Catgirl Nancy (7, 8, 9)
There’s a girl up the road
She’s got seven cats and a toad
Nancy, Oh Nancy
Sweet Nancy
Nancy Rivers
She’s got a daughter called Sam
Rides a bike and makes jam
Nancy, Oh Nancy
Sweet Nancy
Nancy Rivers.
Dedicated to her pussycats
I take me hat off to her
And when yer talking to ‘o’ Nancy
Stroke her back and she’ll purr
She’s got whiskers sprouting on her cheeks
And on the sides of her chin
And there’s feline cat fur
Growing all over her skin
Oh Nancy she’s great
She’s just told me
She’s got stray cat number eight
Nancy, Oh Nancy
Sweet Nancy
Nancy Rivers
Two weeks have passed by and gone
Still haven’t finished the end of this song
Things can change
In such a short space of time
Have to make a few alterations
Correcting and perfecting
Getting it right and not getting it wrong
So here we go
There’s a girl up the road
She’s got nine cats a bird and a toad
Nancy, Oh Nancy
Sweet Nancy
Nancy Rivers
She’s got a daughter called Sam
Rides a bike and makes jam
Nancy, Oh Nancy
Sweet Nancy
Nancy Rivers.

Editor’s note ~ At this point we should say something along the lines of “any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental,” because there is indeed a lady called Nancy Rivers resident in Warminster, at The Dene, and not only does she have a daughter called Sam but is also a cat-lover. We are sure Rikardo has taken literary licence with reference to whiskers on her cheeks and chin, and feline fur on her skin. We have asked Nancy if she minds but she said: “Certainly not, I’m touched that I’ve had a poem written about me. I think it’s rather sweet.”
