was this in a theatre by any chance? in which case I think it was a device used to propel performers through the star trap door in the stage, I know a lot of performers died this way because of continual blows to their heads as they were hurled through the trap door, the museum of london holds most records and patents pertaining to theatre inventions. regards Elaine Westaway ________________________________ From: Anne Cole <duncalf@one-name.org> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, 4 February 2012, 16:43 Subject: [LIN] Mr Shelton's "up and down" machine Has anyone ever heard of this?

12th February 1928, Wellington, Colorado. U.S.A. Written across top of letter are two messages Forgot to tell you I have a new sewing machine, a Singer Thanks for the books mother. They go from me to the folks, then to Dorothy and now, Liza wants them, so you see they are well read. My dearest Mother, I am sorry to keep you waiting so long for a letter but I could not get around to it before I had been worrying because I didn'nt hear from you and now I suppose it's the other way round. Edward and Mary got over their coughs and colds alright but were sick for a couple of days last week. They had a high fever and could not eat anything. Ed was away from school for a day and a half. He sure hated that for he has such a good time there. Ma's leg has been worse than ever before and for the last three weeks or so she has been going to a different doctor at Collins for treatment. She had to go down every other day for two weeks but not so often now. I think the sore on one side of her leg is healed. Yes, our cow got alright. We milked three for a while and sold the cream. We had to take it to Collins as there was no cream station here. there is one now tho. Walt sold one of the cows a short time ago. We have quite a little stock around here now. My hens are not laying yet. I've only had one lay this winter and she went broody, I let Mrs Deines have her to set. Nida has a hen supposed to hatch off today I think. Where did the girls learn to dance, mother? I sure wish I could, we'd go sometimes then. I like the dress material really well, its my colour. I bet Annie's dress looked swell. Does pink suit her too? Margy's coat material is nice and a pretty colour, the coat must be nice. I bet Marg feels quite swell. What does she figure on doing now? You had quite a few presents for Christmas, did'nt you? And a real nice dinner too, Brussels sprouts, never even saw any until this winter and they were twenty cents a pound. I generally buy a cauli-flower for Sunday. I have paid fifteen cents a pound until yesterday when it was only seven cents. Eggs are only twenty-three cents a dozen. I buy some every week. I was sorry to read of Kathie Sharp's death but was rather surprised at her holding out so long. I got a long chatty letter from Nell B last week. She has sure got a good place and has a swell time. Her mother fell down and hurt her leg quite a while ago and it does not seem to get any better. It's Sunday today, we generally go up home on a Sunday afternoon but is dreadfully windy and so miserable today. I dread to stick my head out of the door. Rose has been having trouble with her kidneys and bladder for several days and does'nt feel well. She got medicine from her doctor in Collins but I heard them call our doctor today. Dorothy and Carl have moved and are living on his mother's farm now. It is just across the road from the folks. Little Carl fell into some hot starch last Monday and scalded his arms pretty badly. I guess they are healing up now. A week ago last Wednesday we all went to a party at Liza's home. There was quite a crowd. I danced? with Walt in a square dance and he would insist on me trying to waltz. Of course I didn'nt enjoy that much. I was the only one there who could'nt dance. Another thing is the blamed beer, that's all the men seem to think about. It makes me mad. (Please don't mention as W. and I quarrel on this subject). I had not been feeling very well for a week or two but after going thru an operation I feel lots better. (Don't fuss about this either mother). Walt is always good when I don't feel just right. I sure made up for lost time last week. I'm perfectly well now. I washed, ironed, baked bread, cleaned the house and made Mary a dress and bloomers and a house dress for myself. I was up home Friday afternoon and gone all day yesterday. Rose was thirty years old last Wednesday so we got together and gave her a surprise party. We had lots of fun playing games. I showed them "Musical Chairs" and they love to play it. Mother and Liza took cakes and I took a gallon of milk for the cocoa. The Aid met on Wednesday but I could'nt get away. We have killed one pig this winter. I got about thirty pounds of lard. I took the meat out of the brine today. I boiled a piece of ham the other day and its just delicious. I wished you could have some of it. By the say, did Annie ever get my letter, and did Marg get Walts? Deines were here until eleven o'clock the other night. Mrs D is expecting a baby early next month, that will make seven for her. Well mother dear, please try and write me a little oftener, I get lonesome for your letters. I hope you are all well as it leaves us at present. Lots of love to you all from "us 4". Your loving daughter XXXXX Dolly XXXXX X from Ed X from Mary Only three more letters to go Pat

These letters have prompted me to wonder if I still have the carbon copies of the letters I sent home when I first arrived in the U.S. from England in 1963. I kept them for a long time, but if I still have them they are hidden away in a box somewhere. Time to start digging. But I know I did not provide nearly as much detail as did Dorothy. Happy hunting!   Diana Robinson (nee Gardner) Now in Rochester, NY, USA

8th January 1928, Wellington, Colorado. U.S.A. Written across the top of the letter - I got the books on the 10th. There's one missing between them and last lot and one between these two. My dearest Mother, I had been looking for a letter from you for weeks and finally received one on Friday. You have never said a word about your Christmas puddings or cakes this year, mother. Did'nt you make any? I made three cakes, we started on the last one today. It seems funny Annie did not get my letter (I wrote her a nice long one) but perhaps it has arrived ere this. You know the seas have been so rough and stormy that ships have been delayed. No mother, the children have not got rid of their coughs, altho they are not bothered quite so much. They are both busy writing just now and I keep trying to coax them to prepare for bed. Mary always undresses and dresses herself, laces her shoes and everything. We bought Liza a blue rayon (silk) fast colour bed-spread for a wedding present the other day. Gee Whiz! Ted sure must be a big fellow. I always thought he would be fairly big but not very tall. He's made me look like a shrimp. I don't know how much Walt weighs now but he says he never has weighed more than 159 pounds. Yes, I sure felt sorry for Doris, she seemed to be all broken up, and no wonder! I read in the papers that England was having such cold weather and lots of snow. 16 feet in some places. For the last few days we have had lovely mild weather but before that, we had a spell of the coldest weather we've experienced for many a day. Walt and I and the folks were invited down to Aunt Lizzie's at Collins for dinner last Sunday but it was dreadfully cold that we had to stay at home. The cars would have froze up sure. Today, I had a dinner party. Frank, Lizzie and three children were here, also pa, ma, Nida, Jim and Beattie. I had roast pork and beef, cauliflower, peas, potatoes, gravy, pickles, cheese, Waldorf Salad, Celery, Lemon pie and fruit salad for dinner. My fruit salad consisted of strawberry and orange jello, a can of strawberries with their juice, sliced bananas and nut meats, topped with whipped cream. I had Christmas Cake and Angel-food cake for lunch. Just wait until you come to visit me mother, I'll fix up the darndest stuff you ever saw, or ate rather. I tell Walt that when I do come home I'll fix up up some American dishes. Well, I'm glad this dinner is over I owe all the married girls (ours) a dinner then I'm thru for a while. Next Sunday the folks and us are invited down to Aunt Lizzie's again. I hope we'll be able to go this time. Well mother dear, how did you get along at Christmas time? We sure had a nice time. We were up home all day and had the usual turkey dinner and supper. I got a lot of dandy presents. Before Christmas Walt said the only thing could think of to buy me for Christmas was a canary. Well, he then bought nearly seventeen-hundred dollars worth of cattle so asked me if I could wait a little while. I said I could. Anyway on Christmas Eve he handed me a package saying he had not missed me yet and would not let this time pass without a present. Talk about surprise, you could have knocked me down with a feather! The package contained a pair of silk bloomers, a pair of silk teddies and a silk vest, lovely things! (Written sideways beside this, reads,) Can you fancy Walt buying these, O why he wont even buy his own underwear. I'd like to have seen him. Rose gave me a pink rayon silk vest and Dorothy gave me a light green one (Walt's were pink) Emily sent me an embroidered towel with a colored hem. Mother gave me half-a-dozen small irridescent fruit dishes, (and a purse). Mrs Smith a large one, and Jim gave me a length of goods for a house-dress. I also got a pair of pretty garters with a bottle of perfume and Mrs Deines gave me a linen tablecloth with blue striped border. Winnie M sent me a box of violet toilet soap and Nell a string of the loveliest beads I ever saw. They look like pink brocaded velvet, with lots of other colors on them. The girls are crazy about them too. Nell also sent Mary a string of pretty blue beads with a tassel on them and Edward a dandy box of paints. Well mother, I'm pretty tired tonight so I guess I'll quit now and go to bed. I was up late last night and early this morning. Jan 10th - Here I am again and just about ready for bed too. I had a big washing yesterday and in the afternoon I was up home for a while and paid a couple of visits in town besides doing a little business. Last night we went to Deine's for the evening. Walt churned this morning and I made up the butter. I made a double batch of date bread for the Aid, did part of my ironing, and finished it tonight, having just got thru, On Saturday, Walt asked me if I'd like to go down and see the canaries. (A lady in town raises them for sale). We went and Walt bought me one. We borrowed an old cage from the folks and got our bird right away. On Sunday he began to sing and today, oh boy!. He's just been singing his head off all day. Tomorrow is Aid meeting and I am onE of the hostesses. We are going to serve pineapple salad and date bread sandwiches. I've never made any before but this batch sure looks and smells good. Father had some sheep on the market today and Jim some cattle. We have not heard from them so I guess they're not home from Denver yet. Walt sold his cows last week and made pretty good on them Mother is having an awful time with her leg again, it is pretty bad. Well mother dear, I'll say Goodnight and God Bless you "Us four" send lots of love to all of you Your loving daughter XXXXX Dolly xxxxx

I have Gertude Cartwright, christened Salmonby 24 Jan 1793. This found Family Search. According to Family Search her parents were William B Cartwright and Gertrude Brown. If I do a search on Family Search for BROWN b 1700 to 1800, any event, there is a single not Gertrude (I'm trying to find her parents). I then did a search on FreeReg for Gertrude Cartwright b 1793, and found a similar entry to the Family Search one, adding that the Baptism was at Salmonby St Margaret's but again that the parents were Wm Bryon Cartwright and Gertrude (no surname). The only possibility I have found for Gertrude Brown's parent is on Family Search, and I used between 1755 and 1765, and the only possibility was that her parents were William Brown and Susannah (which sounds hopeful as she and William had a daughter Susannah); and that she was b 11 Oct 1764, and christened 07 Nov 1764 in Little Ponton. No results on Freereg. I think William's parents were Edward Cartwright b 1739 Sibsey and Mary Harnis b abt 1733 - according to Family Search there are 3 possibles; May 1733 Billinghay, Jan 1733 Markby, or Mar 1734 Tealby. They married Spilsby 29 May 1759.Does this sound like I have the right people? Any ideas, comments greatly appreciated.RegardsJan

Hi again It appears two of Edwins brothers also joined the Army , Percival & Walter Both their service records are on Findmypast in the Chelsea Pension records Unusually Percivals records are there despite his dying in service, generally you would not get a pension if you died , there is a copy of his original death certificate stating he died of pneumonia I presume you are in the UK?

Hi Anne I should have added that proviso instead of just that it was unlikely to add anything The chances are slim that there is any additional paperwork but as you say Anne, its certainly worth checking Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Nivard and Gillian, I have to comment on this. I once asked someone who was going to a Yorkshire record office to obtain a copy of an administration (pre 1858). The RO told him it wasn't worth it. I insisted, and when it came it had with it a copy from a Manorial court roll, plus another paper giving the names of two children that we didn't know about. One Administration I ordered from Cheshire came with a Tuition Bond attached (again pre 1858). I'm not saying that this particular admons is going to be that helpful, just saying that you never know what you might get. Anne

Hi Gillian The important word here is Administration This means there was no will So what has happened is that he left property or assets behind which at some point someone needed to sell so the rights to that property needed to be settled by obtaining letters of Administration from the Courts Which James KNILL did in 1892 I do not see an obvious death registration (and obviously neither did the Court) That is not to say he did not die overseas but may simply have gone elsewhere , perhaps changing name Many events for overseas were either never recorded or were and never passed back to the GRO in the UK Unfortunately the copy of the letters of administration are unlikely to tell you any more than you have from the Probate Calendars Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hi Listers, I have found a listing on Wills & Administrations on Ancestry in 1892 for the below but I have a couple of questions associated with it: How do I find out where he died if he was serving in the Regiment at the time? & Could someone explain how/why the Will has been produced not knowing if the Edwin is dead?

Yes, Bazza, eventually. There are only 3 of us working on the marriages at the moment. I am doing Gainsborough RD, Spilsby needs one parish to be completed and Boston is being worked on. I think Spalding is on the list after Spilsby. It is obviously taking us longer to complete a Registration District now that we are doing all parishes up to 1911. For instance, I completed Haxey parish today - 750 marriages between 1837 and January 1902 (end of deposited registers). However, I now have several much smaller parishes coming up (did Kettlethorpe 1837 to 1841 in 15 minutes!). I only do 2 hours on a Friday morning so it will take some time. I reckon to get about 150 marriages done per visit, provided I don't get too many interruptions :-) Anne Anne Cole, President, Lincolnshire Family History Society Duncalf(e)/Duncuff/Duncuft One-name Study GOONS member 513 http://www.one-name.org/profiles/duncalf.html Lincolnshire Post 1837 Marriage Index http://mi.lincolnshiremarriages.org.uk/ Lincolnshire Family History Society http://www.lincolnshirefhs.org.uk > -----Original Message----- > From: eng-lincsgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-lincsgen- > bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Baz Willy > Sent: 03 February 2012 17:33 > To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [LIN] Where is/was Sausthorpe? > > Excuse me Anne, will we be getting the update to Holbeach Marriages, to > bring it up to 1911 Please. >   regards Bazza > > > ________________________________

Sausthorpe is an ancient parish, has registers from 1565 and Bishops Transcripts from 1561 (no doubt with many gaps).

They are very small parishes, but different places. On the Spilsby Registration District map, Raithby by Spilsby and Sausthorpe parishes are shown next to each other. The LFHS publishes two books that help enormously in identifying parishes - the Gazetteer of Historic Lincolnshire and The Registration Districts and Deaneries of Lincolnshire. The latter has a map of each Registration District showing the places in that RD, plus a list of all the Deaneries with their parishes. The Gazetteer is a list of parishes, townships and hamlets with details of which Registration District, Deanery, Poor Law Union, etc. each place is in. The latest edition of the Gazetteer also has maps of the four fens - Holland, East, West and Wildmore Fens showing where all the different parish allotments are. The two books are offered on Genfair and Parish Chest, at a reduced price if you buy both at the same time (sorry for advertising Lou). For a small cost you could have all this information at your fingertips, as I do, just above my desk within reach without having to even stand up!

No Jay, it is a village south of Lincoln on the A607 road. Also, as an interest sideline, my mother once lived on Sausthorpe Street in Lincoln, which was still there in 2001 and may still be.

I don't often respond to what I read on the lists unless they pertain to my research, but I just want to tell Pat Cook how much I am enjoying her letters. At first I just sort of skimmed through them, but now I really look forward to them and read every word. They sound very similar to the few I have between my grandmother's family 'back home' and my grandmother. Thank you so much for doing this.

U.S.A. Written across top of letter are two messages Forgot to tell you I have a new sewing machine, a Singer Thanks for the books mother. They go from me to the folks, then to Dorothy and now, Liza wants them, so you see they are well read. My dearest Mother, I am sorry to keep you waiting so long for a letter but I could not get around to it before I had been worrying because I didn'nt hear from you and now I suppose it's the other way round. Edward and Mary got over their coughs and colds alright but were sick for a couple of days last week. They had a high fever and could not eat anything. Ed was away from school for a day and a half. He sure hated that for he has such a good time there. Ma's leg has been worse than ever before and for the last three weeks or so she has been going to a different doctor at Collins for treatment. She had to go down every other day for two weeks but not so often now. I think the sore on one side of her leg is healed. Yes, our cow got alright. We milked three for a while and sold the cream. We had to take it to Collins as there was no cream station here. there is one now tho. Walt sold one of the cows a short time ago. We have quite a little stock around here now. My hens are not laying yet. I've only had one lay this winter and she went broody, I let Mrs Deines have her to set. Nida has a hen supposed to hatch off today I think. Where did the girls learn to dance, mother? I sure wish I could, we'd go sometimes then. I like the dress material really well, its my colour. I bet Annie's dress looked swell. Does pink suit her too? Margy's coat material is nice and a pretty colour, the coat must be nice. I bet Marg feels quite swell. What does she figure on doing now? You had quite a few presents for Christmas, did'nt you? And a real nice dinner too, Brussels sprouts, never even saw any until this winter and they were twenty cents a pound. I generally buy a cauli-flower for Sunday. I have paid fifteen cents a pound until yesterday when it was only seven cents. Eggs are only twenty-three cents a dozen. I buy some every week. I was sorry to read of Kathie Sharp's death but was rather surprised at her holding out so long. I got a long chatty letter from Nell B last week. She has sure got a good place and has a swell time. Her mother fell down and hurt her leg quite a while ago and it does not seem to get any better. It's Sunday today, we generally go up home on a Sunday afternoon but is dreadfully windy and so miserable today. I dread to stick my head out of the door. Rose has been having trouble with her kidneys and bladder for several days and does'nt feel well. She got medicine from her doctor in Collins but I heard them call our doctor today. Dorothy and Carl have moved and are living on his mother's farm now. It is just across the road from the folks. Little Carl fell into some hot starch last Monday and scalded his arms pretty badly. I guess they are healing up now. A week ago last Wednesday we all went to a party at Liza's home. There was quite a crowd. I danced? with Walt in a square dance and he would insist on me trying to waltz. Of course I didn'nt enjoy that much. I was the only one there who could'nt dance. Another thing is the blamed beer, that's all the men seem to think about. It makes me mad. (Please don't mention as W. and I quarrel on this subject). I had not been feeling very well for a week or two but after going thru an operation I feel lots better. (Don't fuss about this either mother). Walt is always good when I don't feel just right. I sure made up for lost time last week. I'm perfectly well now. I washed, ironed, baked bread, cleaned the house and made Mary a dress and bloomers and a house dress for myself. I was up home Friday afternoon and gone all day yesterday. Rose was thirty years old last Wednesday so we got together and gave her a surprise party. We had lots of fun playing games. I showed them "Musical Chairs" and they love to play it. Mother and Liza took cakes and I took a gallon of milk for the cocoa. The Aid met on Wednesday but I could'nt get away. We have killed one pig this winter. I got about thirty pounds of lard. I took the meat out of the brine today. I boiled a piece of ham the other day and its just delicious. I wished you could have some of it. By the say, did Annie ever get my letter, and did Marg get Walts? Deines were here until eleven o'clock the other night. Mrs D is expecting a baby early next month, that will make seven for her. Well mother dear, please try and write me a little oftener, I get lonesome for your letters. I hope you are all well as it leaves us at present. Lots of love to you all from "us 4".

I agree with you, Pam. I, like most people, have left it too late to ask older family members and, of course, I had little interest in family history when young. My mother told me that my grandfather SHARP's sister had died "when young" of consumption but since starting family history my second cousin in Lincolnshire asked me if I knew who Martha ROSLING was. I had never heard the name but apparently his grandfather, my grandfather's brother, had talked about her. It was not until I saw the 1891 census that I found the SHARP family had living with them "Martha ROSLING, daughter, widow" and the right age. More research showed that her husband had been the person who died when young and Martha herself lived into her late seventies. I will never know how the mistake was made but it pays to check these things.
