Mark, thank you so very much for sharing this piece of your mother's memories with me. It was so very moving to read these stories that related to your mother and included some of my ancestors - helps to put the past into a REAL picture with REAL people in it. Anyway, I hope you don't mind, but have made a copy of this and will keep it with my other family stories, which will eventually be passed on to my children / grandchildren at a later date. Your taking the trouble to send this to me is very much appreciated. I am going to go back and look at the eastwoods family tree and pinpoint where all these brothers and sisters fit in. Once again, many thanks and all the very best. Yours, Carol Standish... Mark Henshaw wrote: >Hi Carol, > >I wonder if this extract from my mother, Margaret Woodhead's Memories are of interest.

Hi Carol, I wonder if this extract from my mother, Margaret Woodhead's Memories are of interest. She was born in 1899 so I guess this was in the early 1900s. I cannot remember a time when I had not heard of George Eastwood or Bowery Douglas. George Eastwood was a bachelor with two sisters, Blanche (the eldest) and Josephine, who married Mr Taylor, rather late perhaps. All the Eastwoods were brainy but Josephine was thin and jolly and always ready for a laugh. George, like my father, had been mayor of Chesterfield and both, I think, were aldermen. Bowery Douglas I knew little about except that he had a wife. She was nice looking and well dressed. I liked her and occasionally we went to call on them in the trap.

Neither the house nor the field were there in later years when Annie (Margaret's half sister) and Arthur moved into Somersall Lane.

I think will have to visit this wonderful village? if I get the chance, but before that will try and get as much info as can. I will definitely get in touch with the schools and see what they can add. Anyway, your help is very much appreciated.

Hello I'm not studying my family tree (I posted a message on this noticeboard for a family member who is) so I'm not sure of all the correct terminology!! However, I lived in Hasland for 18 years (it's about 2 miles south of Chesterfield) and the name Eastwood is closely connected with the village. The public park in the village is called Eastwood park which used to be the grounds of Eastwood Hall. A large stretch of green bordered by trees, it used to have a tree-lined carriage drive through from the road to the house and it was given to the people of Hasland by one of the last descendents of the Eastwood family, a daughter I think) Sadly the house was demolished even before my time living in the village. Hasland Hall is still in existence, and is now a part of a large secondary school campus. If you wrote to the school directly, I'm sure they'd have information about the origins of the hall; my daughter attended this school and they were proud to promote the school's history. She isn't certain, but feels that it wasn't the Eastwoods who built Hasland Hall (although they may have lived there at some point). The school's address is: Hasland Hall Community School Brookfield Avenue Hasland Chesterfield Derbyshire S41 OLP UK I do know that Hasland Junior school did a project on the history of Hasland with lots of copies of old maps of the area etc - they might also have information on local notable families: Hasland Junior School The Green Hasland Chesterfield Derbyshire UK *** *** *** I have just checked with a friend who had the following information for you: There were several Edward Eastwoods (it being the fashion to carry the name on down the male line), but Edward Eastwood (1826 - 1910) was born in Hasland. After a time living away from the area, he returned in 1863, built a large house called Tapton Villa and set up a wagon making business serving the local railway. The works was on Brimington Road Chesterfield (close by the railway) but again, the villa was demolished in 1938. He married Abigail Moore and they had 8 children. Apart from being a successful business man, he was known as a local benefactor, building almshouses for the poor etc. He also financed his nephew, Edwin Sampson Moore to set up the Midland Vinegar Co which eventually became the HP sauce company!! There is a book in Chesterfield library called "The Eastwoods of Tapton Villa" which was a compilation of information put together by a descendent, Nigel G. Brittain. This book is not for loan but is available for study at the library. It was originally published by Brittain Ancestry, Bromley House, Tredea Lane, St Erth, Hayle, Cornwall TR27 6JS, but my friend has written to this address hoping to obtain a copy and hasn't had a reply a year later, so it's possible this company no longer exists.

Today I got a message from Support@pacbell.net telling me that my account has been attacked by a virus and I should open the zip file attached to see the specific info about my account. While I have Norton running at all times and completely updated, I was not warned of a virus, plus my mail goes through Yahoo mail and gets scanned there before even getting to my computer. Since there was an attachment, I didn't open it but replied to support and got back an automated notice from them that they would answer my mail ASAP (still haven't replied, however). So, I deleted the original email and it went into my trash. Later I decided to check Norton and found, yes it was a new worm called Beagle, see description here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.k@mm.html We have had at least three new virus/worms this week and I told you the above story because I actually thought about opening the attachment but because I know these virus originators can be tricky, I didn't and right now I am really happy I didn't act out my impulse. I have since emptied my trash to get rid of it. Evidently, it got in before Norton found about about it and could send the definition to my program which, in turn, gives me a warning when I get an email with a virus attachment. They have since updated my virus protection.

Hi John and Cathy You may already know this - but just in case you are not UK based and don't, may I clear up a possible confusion. There is Worcester the city and also there is Worcestershire, which some sources of info show as Worcester (should be shortened to Worcs. if shortened at all). This can make a difference if you are searching for records. I don't know if this applies here as it's not the area I'm researching in, but area where I used to live Stourbridge is certainly in Worcestershire, near the Staffordshire border, but it is some way from the city of Worcester and certainly not a part of that city, which you might be led to think. Hope this might help. Good hunting! Jo.

Hi Cathy. My family of HUME started of around 1700 in Durham where my first ancestor on the tree is noted down as a Butcher from Durham. I don't know if that is the city or the county at the moment. His son, Joseph moved down to the York area. He had at least six sons, but only can find three and one daughter Susanne. From Skelton in York they then spread their wings south to Rotherham. However, Worchester does come into it slightly. Well, in a big way I think, I've just checked my Family Tree records. I have a John William Hume born in Worcester in 1876, is father was my g-grandfather Frederick Hume and mother Mary Hume. What they were doing in Worchester I've no idea. I've been spending all my energy on his last son, also Frederick Hume. Frederick's last son, also John William is my father. By having two of the same names in each family I thought it was because the first John William may have died early. Therefore I haven't researched him. But it does sound promising at the moment.

Hi Everyone, two questions that I would like help with. My grandfather served in the Hallamshire regiment (YORKS AND LANCS), married Christmas day 1901 and went of to South Africa 1.3.1902 until 31.7.02. He came home 1.8.02 and was discharged. Question 1. I presume he would have been awarded a campaign medal. Is it possible to purchase a copy of one? and Question 2. He rejoined the regiment on 7.9.1914 (my birthday, not the year obviously) but was discharged 10.11.1914, his character was entered on his army records as unsuitable and under the following regulations. Paragraph 156 (4) T.R. regulations 1912. Can anyone tell me what that paragraph states PLEASE Thank you John Morriss HUME Always looking for:-HUME plus ARCHER-Cradley Herts, 1840---BEAL(E) - Sheffield 1880 BROOKES-Rotherham 1860---BUCKLAND-Nottingham 1880 BURTON- Sheffield 1910---CARLTON-Sutton on Forest Yorks. 1730 CLARKE-Myton Hall, Yorks 1825---CROWSHAW- Sheffield 1910 HARGREAVES-West Yorks 1840---HARRISON-Nottingham 1760 HELMAN-London 1850---HOLIDAY-Kilvington York 1780 LINCOLN-London 1850---McBRIDE- Rotherham 1850 SKELTON -York 1800---THEAKER- Sheffield 1910
