Hi Joe and Lister Friends, The gasmeters I can remember had to be fed with shillings. I can't remember what we fed the prewar ones with, though---- maybe pennies? Our meters were located in the little cubbyhole under the stairs, which ensured that anyone tall enough risked decapitation ---or a sore head, if they stood upright too quickly! Fortunately Dad didn't need to go there and Mum was short! Collectors also tended to be stocky little men----typical Midlanders! Under the stairs also was the favoured place to become a family shelter, during air raids once we'd located to a home that didn't have an Anderson shelter in the garden. A good deal warmer, too in the dank days of winter. The visits of the meter man were looked forward to, because if the amount in the meter was in excess of gas used, the extra coins were returned; a sort of bonus payout, as you might say. This frequently happened, as it was common practice in the families that I knew to "feed" the gasmeter with shillings whenever there were some in your purse. Remember the traditional big fat brown leather household change -purses our mothers and grandmothers had? Roomy, with partitions and fastened with a clasp? No handbag needed; the housewife would "sing out", "Just going up the Wolfe", ( to the shopping centre, not the pub of that name!), and depart clasping her trusty purse in her hand. On the Foleshill Rd. and facing Webster Street was Wilson's Gasmeters. After a stint of several years on the Coventry Corporation buses , and before returning to factory life once again, my father did long distance driving for Wilson's. They were one of about two firms in England, who manufactured gasmeters. Dad's delivery area was from the Midlands to the Scottish border. The Great North Rd was very familiar to him, but he often went north criss-crosing the country, ( to deliver), as he went. I remember the route across the Pennines was spectacular. He had accommodation with a family in Jarrow, where we struggled to understand the dialect---almost incomprehensible to a non-Geordie! Then his large van was updated to an articulated truck with the benefits of having a second trailor which meant not having to lose time unloading and loading the same space. When the cab was being fitted out Dad was asked by the management if there was anything he would like in it. "A radio would be nice ", he said facetiously.To his amazement the new vehicle was fitted with one---a feature rare, and in the luxury class, in the late 1940s. When he left school, at the age of 15, in 1953, my brother went to work for Wilson's, as a sheetmetal worker and completed his apprenticeship there. He made gasmeters! The good old gasmeter that measured the coalgas we used became obsolete with the introduction of North Sea gas. What became of Wilson's? I must remember to ask my brother, who now lives in Bedworth, a few miles distant. He had moved on into the car industry before this. Culminating at the Bayton Industrial Estate, customising Bentleys, at the time of his retirement last year! Even baby brothers get old----in time! And with the end of the coal gas industry has come the demise of the bulky gasometers. The last one, at Longford was demolished in 2002. By chance and at a distance of 10, 000 miles, I witnessed it! How? A kind Lucas researcher emailed me a short video clip and by chance, my brother arrived from England on the same day."Oh, I filmed that for you,"he said, and proceeded to show me. So I saw it from two viewpoints---a poignant moment. Gasometers, along with Cooling towers and Courtauld's largest chimney had been central to my life and memories for my formative years. I was attached to them and feel as though I've had appendages amputated. Silly---but there it is! There was a majesty and kind of beauty in those bulky structures! Gasmeters---and their collectors are history now. My equivalent is the meter man who reads them for the Electricity Provider. In my last home the meter was indoors---a nuisance, as we had to provide a housekey for the reader. Newer homes, like my present one have it installed outside---mine is in the porch. How much longer will this last? Time moves on, and progress rapidly nullifies today's latest technology. What next? Will I be spared the time to see ? Interesting point, that!

Hello Listers Joe and Muriel have sparked off the little grey cells again! Our flat in Besant Road was exactly the same as the other seven in the block and the eight in the adjacent block. The front, and only, door gave into an ‘L’ shape passage or hall with walls rendered with concrete and a red quarry tiled floor. The entire passage was about four metres or so long and to the left ended in a kitchenette of the same construction, which boasted three floor-to-ceiling cupboards all on the right side. The furthest cupboard had a small grill window and this was the larder, the middle cupboard was for brooms and cleaning materials and the third, where the penny or shilling in the slot gas meter was housed was the coal cellar. This was not a cellar at all, but a cupboard fitted with four or five boards that slotted one on top of the other to prevent the coal falling into the kitchen. As stocks dwindled, so one of the boards was removed to enable the coal to be reached with a shovel. The state of our coal stock had a significance beyond the obvious. Naturally a full cupboard afforded a considerable degree of security both against being cold and having to find the money to replenish it. To me though a full cupboard meant having to reach awkwardly above my head to get the coal out but being able to stand on the coal to put a penny in the meter. A near empty cupboard meant it was easy to collect the ‘slack’ (mainly dust!) in the shovel but precarious trying to balance on a chair and reach the gas meter. Short though it was I hated being sent ‘down the passage’ in the dark to get a shovel of coal for the living room fire from the terrifying coal cupboard. When we first lived in our flat the ‘little’ room, as Mum always called it, was not occupied. I presume this was chiefly because we had limited furniture. It was situated on the right corner of the flat and reached through the only door on the right of the passage. I slept in my mother and father’s bed until I was six years old or thereabouts. Les had a little bed and Ron the cot, all of us in the main bedroom in the far left corner of the flat. This room had a built-in gas fire but we very rarely used it much because it was so expensive to run. Between the kitchenette and the ‘little’ room was the bathroom fitted with a bath, a water closet and nothing else. This, too, had rendered concrete walls and a tiled floor. Access was via a door to the left of the passage just as you entered the flat. The walls of the two bedrooms were plastered and the floors boarded and the same was true of the living room, which occupied the right corner of the flat with one wall common to the main bedroom and the other to the ‘little’ room. The living room was the centre of our small universe. It was our dining room, sitting room, workshop, and study. It was here, in those days before the outbreak of the Second World War, that Dad having cycled home, would eat his lunch and then be off again. It was in this room that Mum would sit at the table showing us how to draw apples and pears, teach us how to play cards, ‘ Sevens’ and ‘Beat Your Neighbours Out Of Doors’. It was here that I learned to tell the time and to name all of the forty-nine counties in England before I started school at five years and three weeks old, the youngest in the class. The living room, too, was where I watched with fascination as my father placed his shaving mug full of hot water on the mantelpiece in front of the mirror and proceeded to shave using a safety razor. Early in the war we often had air raids at night. Both Dad and Mr Strutt, whom Dad called ‘Min’and who lived in the flat above us, were firewatchers during these nighttime air raids. At first, when the alert sounded, we would be awakened from our sleep and taken in pyjamas and a blanket to settle with Mum into that narrow passage leading to the kitchenette. No prospect of lying down as the passage was only about thirty inches wide and not more than six feet or so long. But it was the strongest part of the flat. It was not many weeks before Mrs Strutt and her two daughters Rose and Joan came to join us every time the siren sounded. Soon the raids increased in intensity and frequency and for months we spent many hours each night with the seven of us crowded into that small space. The flat is still there much as it was in 1935.

Just so you all know!! This is as bad as a virus really, but beware the morons who send panic alerts out! Basically this is a hoax email that is going round worrying the populace.

Hi All, It's really nice to see so much activity on List and to see all the new & old interests posted. It seems ages since I posted mine so here goes- Look -ups-I have a copy of Tysoe prs to 1837, MIs & Census 1841-1901 and am always happy to do look-ups. Interested in Tysoe village history in general. If anyone comes across old photos or postcards etc, I'd love to see copies. Surnames- SODEN everywhere and Tysoe / Compton Wyniates/Hook Norton in particular HANCOX Tysoe WILK(E)S Tysoe HARVEY Epwell Have a lot to share on all these if anyone connects. Two major brickwalls- The HARVEYs in Epwell begin with Edward HARVEY m Ann JAMES Epwell 1760 Jan 21 Looking (for years) for any possible baptism for Edward HARVEY abt 1735, maybe Oxon or Warwickshire. Richard SODEN m Elizabeth WALKER, Epwell 1796 Oct 17 Looking (for ever) for any possible baptism for Richard SODEN abt 1770 in any of the "Banburyshire" counties, except Warwickshire. Regards Barb S.

Is anyone researching the family of WARD of EYDON? I have an interesting marriages where the two parties share the same surname, I know not that uncommon but is it more than coincidence? Richard WARD of KISLINGBURY to Jane WARD of EYDON on 7 February 1775 witnesses were George DOUGLAS and Elizabeth DANIEL Richard was born in Rothersthorpe in 1745 but in 1775 was living in Kislingbury. There is a WARD family going back to the 17th century in Eydon, but apart from this marriage I do not know of a connection to the Kislingbury / Rothersthorpe area. Details of some of my WARD research around Kislingbury can be found on my website. Can anyone help?

To Barb Stacey and David Judd thank you so much - i cant believe it as victor meldrew was fond of saying - i had seen in the book by David Gibbard that a George Coleman was living in Frog Lane and was a weaver but was a bit nervous to claim him as mine without other info to support - he was shown as a weaver at the baptism of one of his children - this now makes me think i minght have the wrong death cert as in 1845 he was shown as 60 a plush weaver and i see that there is another george coleman dying in 1845 aged 50 who is brd at st mary anglican - this was from familyhistoryinline - havent followed that up yet - any idea where st marys anglican was - unles they mean the one in bloxham of course Well don Barb - just goes to show doing someone else a good turn and the gods were smiling on you thanks you so much!!! - made my day also - im now off to look at thomas and anne bye for now Lorraine franzipan27@hotmail.com researching: Warwickshire: knowle/solihull WHITE,TIDMARSH,COLLEDGE,WIMBLETT Birmingham:READER,BROWN,GOODE,BIDDLE COLES,SMITH,COPE,FIRTH,WHITE Oxfordshire: BARNES,CARTER,CLIFTON, COLEMAN,GRIFFIN, Staffordshire: DICKINSON,MILLWARD,READER, ROLLASON,STRIDE,WORMINGHAM,WHITE Buckinghamshire: - Olney - HARRIS,READER Tingewick/Preston Bissett CARTER,ALLEN Lancashire: WEBSTER,BURNS,EARLAM, DEARDEN,FOSTER,DINGSDALE,WILLIAMS, BRADSHAW Westmorland: HALL,DAVIS,GOAD,

Hi Angela, As you can tell by my spelling, typing is not one of talents....... I'm a strong believer in the "cut and paste" method.

Hi Pam, There are no DEWS in the Bloxham baptisms but I did find the following: 1776 June 30 Mary Jellyman d John There are lots of Jellymans & varients but this is the only one that is close for Mary.
