What a great day to discuss anniversaries although I'm not sure I can top Norway's Independence Day. This one is not in my family tree but is part of every New Zealander's life. Today in New Zealand (February 6) we have a national holiday, Waitangi Day, commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on this date in 1840, an agreement between Maori and representatives of the British crown intended to sort out settlement and government of the country. As I write there are commemorative events being held, as they are every year, at what is known as the Treaty grounds in Northland. The Treaty of Waitangi is an important document in the NZ culture although it did not prevent all conflict and there were wars between Maori and British during the 1860-80 period. That is where the Lincolnshire connection comes in. Gt grt grandfather William BEET from Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire, having come out to Australia a few years previously, came over to NZ and joined up with the 2nd Waikato Militia to take part in the conflict in the 1860's. The reward of the militia men after several years service was a Land Grant of 50 acres of land, to be cleared for farming. 2014 also marks the 150th anniversary of several settlements that arose as those lands were developed and settled after hostilities mostly ceased about 1864.

Judith, one of my great grandfathers got there the same way - he was a member of the 65th Regiment of Foot who came to NZ aboard JAVA in 1854. Also my great aunt's husband James Larder Long bottom who emigrated from Lincs and joined the Waikato Miltia, and and my great great grandmothers sisters son who was part of the Militia as well.

Sometimes ago there were questions about POWs in Lincolnshire. At the time I wrote to a non-subscriber who had lived in Lincolnshire at that time. As he has been traveling and did not access his email during that time, I have only now - better late than never - received a brief answer. -In 1943 and 1944, there were POW's working at the farm in South Kelsey. They were all German. In 1953 there were numerous former prisoners of war still in the area of North Somercotes. Some had married and lived in the village. Others still worked on the farm, and some lived in an old house on the farm, across from Pye's Hall. From what I remember, there were a mix of Polish, German and Ukraine POW's. Many later moved to Canada.- (I am also aware that some of the POWs were extremely kind to some of the children of the area.) Happy hunting!

Maybe discrimination, but also maybe a way to be sure that those who might not be familiar with the process of the wedding did not intrude or make fools of themselves. I have known people who were invited to a wedding in a faith different from their own to choose to sit at the back so that they could get guidance from what the folk in front of them were doing as regards sitting, standing, etc. Not to say that it may not hurt when it is imposed upon one, but the motivation may not be one of discrimination so much as guidance.

Hi Lou, A couple of years ago we did a tour of the national parks and canyons from North Dakota down to Las Vegas. On the way we bought presents for our grandchildren at native American stores and one of the items were small ''talking sticks'', which were covered in beads and feathers. The original sticks would have been much larger and used during gatherings or pow-wows. This enabled people to talk and not be interrupted.

I thought that my 3 gt. grandmother's name of Docey was unusual until I found that she had an aunt Theodosia. Bob.

My grt grt grandfather William BEET was born in 1822 in Grt Gonerby, married ca 1843 to Susannah Gibson (d 1849) and then in 1850 to Elizabeth Watson (b. Marston ca 1832). William, Elizabeth and a child, also Elizabeth, born 1849?, came to NZ, via Australia, in 1863. William's parents, Robert Beet (1799-1855) and Mary, nee Green (1792-1865) had at least 6 other children, all born in Grt Gonerby, some of whom died young, as follows. As far as I know they ALL got left behind. But what happened to them? Does anyone have any connections to any of these - Thomas Beet, bap Grt Gonerby Jan 1817 (m. Elizabeth BAILEY, widow, ?)

She, like many of us, has families where most of one family would up and leave for places like Australia, Canada, the US, but someone was left behind. Sometimes it was more than one person, who may have had an apprenticeship to finish, or who stayed home to nurse a sick relative, or in some cases a wife who feared leaving the only life she had known and who dreaded the idea of living someplace with "wild natives" and strange beasts.

Its not uncommon, it has to be remembered that information given in the census is in the main taken as is, there was no checking carried out after the census so the householder could put what they wanted I see Charles appears to be born illegitimately to mother Mary GOODSON Have you checked the baptism in the register? it may give a clue as to the father Also Morris' Directory & Gazeteer 1863 GOODSON Mrs Mary "Marquis of Granby" The 1871 occupation for Charles looks like Relieving Office & Registrar Backed up in the Whites 1872 Directory Grantham Union - The Relieving Officers are - - - and Mr Chales GOODSON for Denton District.

In 1841 he is with his mother Mary GOODSON in Barrowby, and also in 1861. In 1871 he’s listed as being in Harlaxton, Mum is there too as his Housekeeper (I can’t read his occupation, but it’s something to do with registering births, etc RG10/3357) Then Mum dies in 1879 and in 1881 he’s listed as being the stepson of Mary Walker (I think it should be son in law) as he marries Caroline Walker in Melton Mowbray in Mar 1872. They have a son Ernest Harry GOODSON b 28 Mar 1875 in Great Dalby, Leics, and the family is in Great Dalby in 1881 and 1891. Caroline GOODSON dies in Great Dalby 13 Jun 1890. I can’t find Charles in 1901, but I think he dies in Grantham, Lincs in 1908. So I don’t think Ann Musson was his wife and the Charles in the same household as her in 1851 is not him. There are entries for other years for this Charles and Ann. I found tonight confirmation of his birth and that his mother was a spinster Mary GOODSON - In the Baptism Register - under Abode it said - Abode - Extra Parochial parts of Gibbet Hills near Swineshead. So I am pretty sure I have the right Charles and Mary. I am also having problems with his son Ernest Harry - I have his birth in Great Dalby in 1875, and then I think I have his marriage in Hinckley, Leics to Mary Elizabeth Croft and then nothing till his death (I think) in 1936. Can Harry and Henry be interchanged? Thanks for assistance so far.

We are surprised, sometimes, to find out how "controlling" employers could be in the 1700s and 1800s.  You worked from sun-up to sun-set, were'nt allowed to marry, if you could read, you kept that to yourself (employers thought educated employees were a threat to the "harmony" of their roles), and sometimes you had to express political beliefs similar to the employer to keep your job. I thought a lot of those ideas had died out, but my own mother-in-law had similar ideas - she certainly thought any employee was at her beck and call and was furious once when an employee was in the bathroom and didn't come right away when she called.  She also wanted to stay in an elder care facility where all the employees were of her same religion.  I told her that this was no longer legal, but she insisted that an employer should be able to only hire people of a certain faith.  I personally had the experience of being treated with prejudice when I was 18 and tried to get a job at a paper-box factory.  I was a legal immigrant, but they said they'd only hire U.S. citizens.  I could have probably sued them and become the owner of the paper-box factory, but I found another job and forgot the legality of the matter.  But it smarts.  Prejudice leaves a mark on you. I was one of the few white men at a Ethiopian wedding once.  We were made to stand and sit in the back, instructed in how to eat (only using the "clean" hand), and told that we could not talk unless one of the monitors had given us a "talking" stick - a stick that grants you the right to speak. A good cultural experience perhaps, but discrimination none the less.       Lou

We have a g g g g uncle Septimus Skipworth, who in turn produced his own Septimus. It was quite challenging establishing that each was in fact the 7th son as only three sons and two daughters survived from 14 births (between 1823 and 1841) in the first family.  Ironically the first Septimus served as Registrar of Births at Caistor for a period. He managed to raise 10 of his 11 children.  Not surprisingly they scattered to the ends of the earth - no village could accommodate that sort of population explosion for long!

I have a relative Mary GOODSON, who was the Innkeeper in Barrowby in 1861, (I think at the ‘Marquis of Granby’) she is described as a widow but as far as I can find she never married. Was the common? Regards Jan Sent from Windows Mail
