By chance, there was only one person born in Bourne at around the right time who seemed to fit the bill - the right name and from a family of wheelwrights. That fit nicely with his trade. For a while I assumed that he must be the man. It turned out that he wasn't - my Albert was born 1890 in Hertfordshire (while his father was working away), though his family were from the Horncastle area. No Bourne or Spalding connection at all as far as I know, though I've seen the confusion perpetuated by careless researchers - one Genes Reunited tree even has me down as born in Lincolnshire, purely by assumption. I wasn't. Indeed, I think Lincolnshire was, by chance, the last county in England that I ever actually got round to visiting. I've made up for lost time since! I was also told that my grandparents eventually moved to somewhere near Louth. That turned out to be Hagworthingham. Given how little I started with, it's amazing how far *proper* research and a bit of luck has managed to take me since. Phil Crouch

My original diskette version of the marriage index for Lafford deanery 1700-1837 published by Lincolnshire FHS says Edward Cartwright married Elizabeth Seward in Silk Willoughby in 1807. This index, along with Aveland and Ness, Beltisloe, Grantham *and * Loveden deaneries also for 1700-1837 (so you get an awful lot of marriages for your money!) has been reissued with full dates, plus extra details such as the one of the parties being widow/er, whether the marriage was by banns or licence, on CD. An excellent investment, especially if you've got Smiths or another common name, because you can quickly pick out possibilities for your family.

Re CARTWRIGHT search...... My 2ndggrandfather Edward CARTWRIGHT was born 1810 in Silk Willoughby and seems to have lived all his life around Anwick. His father, was also an Edward who married an Elizabeth, who or where I do not yet know. If the common practice of taking the fathers name was followed then his fathers name could be Edward.

9th - 27th December 1927, Wellington, Colorado. U.S.A. My dearest Mother, I was very pleased to receive your welcome letter a couple of days ago. I did think it was a long time since I had one from you but then, I am a long time too, sometimes. I forgot to tell you in my last letter that one of the Eatmon children had Diptheria. He is better again now but they are all still in quarantine. There are several cases of scarlet fever, whooping cough and chicken-pox. I get worried about Edward going to school for fear of him catching something or other. He has had a bad cough for three or four weeks now and his toe is still sore. I'm glad Margy has got a bicycle. She's doing fine. What does she figure on doing after she leaves school. Yes, I got Edith's very nice letter on Monday. I was surprise and so tickled too. It's her first letter to me, is'nt it.? I am going to answer her and Annie too, right away so that I can send them before Christmas. Gosh! It soon will be Christmas won't it. I have'nt got a thing done yet but I will before then. I like the materials you sent samples of I think they are very nice, especially the blue. That seems to be my favourite color now-a-days. I like Annie's goods too. I bet her dress will be warm. I also like the styles very much and would'nt mine having a dress made like Annie's. Perhaps you'll make me one out of my suit. I have a navy-blue one the jacket of which is lined with grey silk. Talk about weather mother we've sure been having it here. On Tuesday morning a blizzard set in. snowing and a-blowing. The temperature went down to fifteen below zero. I had my house-plants down in the cellar but still one of them froze down. The water froze and burst the faucet. We get our water down the cellar now. A dozen or more of my chickens froze to death and a little day-old calf caught cold and died. One of our cows, it was out in the yard, came fresh during the night. In the morning Walt brought the calf in the kitchen to thaw it out. We tried to feed it in here and had milk all over the floor. The cow of course was kinda sick and Walt milked nothing but blood. She gives lots of milk but it is not fit for use and I don't know whenever it will be. We bought a seperator last Saturday. We are milking two cows now. I made nearly four pounds of butter on Tuesday and nearly five today. Walt churned for me. Butter is a good price, forty-five cents a pound. Eggs are fifty cents a dozen. I have been buying mine for a long time. We go pretty shy on them tho, believe me. We had supper with the folks last Sunday night. Mother's leg is pretty bad and she has had a cold. Nida has been very poorly too. Rose is one of the hostesses for the Aid next week. I suppose it will be my turn pretty soon. We get the rest of our beet money next Thursday. It does not amount to very much this time. I suppose we'll go to Collins then so I'm figuring on getting a few teeth filled and do my Christmas Shopping. It is not so cold tonight and I'm sure glad, we've been having hot oven shelves and hot water bottles in our beds lately. Well mother, I must say "goodnight" for its our bed-time. We all send our love to all of you and wish you "A Merry Christmas" once again. Hoping you are all well. I remain Your loving daughter XXXXX Dolly XXXXX p.s. Thanks ever so much for the books. I got two yesterday and two today.

30th November 1927, Wellington, Colorado. U.S.A. My dearest Mother, I have been wanting to write you for quite a long time now but have been so busy all the time that I've been home. I have been away quite a bit during the last few weeks. It's nearly seven p.m. now. I have just got thru dish-washing etc; and the children will soon be going to bed. They had got such dreadful coughs, especiallY Ed. He coughs an awful lot at night. I really don't believe he is very well. The poor kid has had a very sore toe (big) for two or three weeks too. He pulled some of the nail down into the quick and it has been festering all the time. Thanks for the postcard. I like the picture of both you and Annie you look happy. Elsie Brown is a big girl is'nt she. I forgot to enquire about her when I wrote Annie. I had;nt heard any-thing of her for a long time. You know, the weather has been great until yesterday. It snowed all day and today it has been pretty cold. It's a pretty night but oh, so cold. I think it will go below zero tonight. You asked me what noodle soup is mother but I hardly know how to explain it. Noodles are made of flour eggs and milk (I guess). You let the stuff dry good after it is rolled out and then cut it into fine strings. A little while before serving your soup (chicken generally' I guess) you drop the noodles in and cook a few minutes. I will tell you now how I have been spending my time this week so you will see just how it goes. On Monday I washed, sprinkled and folded the clothes, did all the work around the house and baked and iced a cake. At night we went up home for supper. Eliza was married in the afternoon and so we had a wedding supper. There were thirty-four of us there altogether. We had a dandy supper (three sittings down) to which I contributed my cake. Liza married a widower who has six children, the eldest being twenty-one. He is fourty-four and she is twenty-five. Please do not remark about this. They are living on a farm just south of Wellington. We did not get home that night until eleven or later. Believe me, I sure was tired. Yesterday, I ironed in the morning, went up home for a little while after dinner. made a two-piece set of underwear and after supper I dressed a chicken. I cooked it today and took it down for the Ladies Aid supper. We had our bazaar today, a Mrs Piatt and I had charge of the candy and cooked food table. (I made a batch of candy, divinity fudge). We made six dollars and a half so did pretty good I think. Well mother dear, how are you getting along now-a-days? I'd sure like to pay you a visit. I am just as well as ever I was and am gaining a little. weighing 117 and a half pounds now. That's a lot for me. Walt has had a cold and bad cough for weeks now but he's feeling pretty good right now. The other day he bought a carload (28) of range cows, two have calves, and two milk cows. One cow came fresh on Monday and we are expecting the other and our own bossy almost any time, so you see we will have three fresh milk cows. December 1st - Gee! It will soon be Christmas, won't it? Mary wants Santa to bring her a new dolly and Edward wants almost everything. He brought his report card home some time ago, he did pretty fair for a start. Last Thursday was Thanksgiving Day. We were all at Rose's for dinner. There was quite a crowd. I got a pretty pair of new patent leather slippers yesterday, they are trimmed with pretty tan leather. I have been buying a pair of wool blankets, dress goods for Mary, besides a new best dress and bloomers and patent leather shoes trimmed with tan. Walt and Ed got new shoes, shirts and overalls. I also bought silk stockings, flannel night gowns, vests and bloomer materials for myself besides outing flannel for the childrens night gowns etc. I got a hundred pound sack each of sugar and flour and a fifty pound can of lard. We have our cellar all fixed up now so I keep my fruit and potatoes down there. There is quite a shortage of coal around here, all the miners having gone on strike. There are lots of coal mines further south on the way to Denver. Well mother, its nearly time for the mail-man and I want to get my work done so that I can start on the kids night gowns. I hope you are all well, give my love to all and keep lots for yourself from "us four" I remain Your loving daughter XXXXX Dolly XXXXX

Hi, Jan! As the crow flies it's only about 15 miles between the two. It's double and more by road today, but by footpath or lanes it's not all that far. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.

I was going to give you some information at the end of these letters about Dorothy and her family, but I can do it now. Also thanks to Terry and Baz for their emails. I am happy for you to save these letters, if you pass them on, please credit where they came from, for the records. As I had hoped, the letters are giving some of the Lincs listers an insight as to what their ancestors lives might have been like it they had family in U.S.A. at this time. I think Dorothy was a very brave girl leaving Lincolnshire, to go and meet her Pen Friend, Walter Wood, with a view to marriage if they liked each other, as they obviously did. Dorothy arrived in New York 28th May 1920 Dorothy kept her mother up to date with her daily life, and generously supplied her with press cuttings, photographs etc. I cutting from the Denver Newspaper for 6 June 1920 shows the deck of the ship S.S.St Paul, her decks crowded with First Class Passengers. Dorothy has hand written a note in the margin. "I spent my days on the other end of this ship" she was not a first class passenger when she crossed the pond. I have many photographs inherited from my Grandmother, beautiful photograph of Dorothy as a young woman, I presume this one was taken just before she left for U.S.A. Walt with their 'High Priced Car' Ed and Mary as children thru the years. Edwin in Army Uniform, Nida, Carrie. Walt and Dolly in their mature years. Another photograph taken at their Golden Wedding. Terry asked if I had made contact with anybody mentioned in these letters. I had the one letter from Edward, he replied to a letter I sent him when I started Family History in 1983, shortly afterwards he died. I understand he had three wives, he died 22 February 1994. Ed married a lady named Shirley, 28 May 1953, but I dont know where. Ed sent me a photograph taken at his daughters wedding, taken Nov 2 1981 Where? The bride is his daughter Kimberley (Brooks) Wood, aged 20 yrs, unfortunately the Bridegroom isnt on this photograph, looks like he might be called Brooks?. Others in the photograph are Brian Wood aged 16, Sharon Wood 17, Ronald Wood 23, Edward is aged 60, his wife Shirley is 52, and his wife's mother Lillian Marshall is 72. For some reason Ed put all the ages beside their names. The letter Ed wrote to me is dated February 24 1983 from 5025 West 73rd St; Prairie Village, Kansas 66208. Dolly died 30 December 1978 in Denver, Walt had been born in Tiverton, England in 1891, died in August 1979,in a Fort Collins Nursing home, so didnt live long after Dolly died. He must have returned to Fort Collins to be near members of his birth family. Apparently he had 4 sisters still living when he died aged 88 yrs. According to Walt's newspaper obituary, Walt and Dolly had lived at Grey Rock, Wellington. Walt had been working as a Supervisor for the Larimer County Highway Department in Wellington. Then in 1940 they moved to Denver, he owned and operated a Gas Station until his retirement. Their two children, Edward Lee WOOD was born 29 Sept 1921 Wellington and Mary Emily Wood 19 August 1923, I presume also in Wellington. Mary married a Jim RUSHING, and I think had two daughters, one was called Marilyn and born 25th August 1942,(info taken from back of a photograph) I have no details at all about the second child. I also have been unable to find out anything about JIM RUSHING, or where he and Mary lived etc;. Also have been unsuccessful in finding anything out about Marilyn, who I would dearly like to get in touch with. Mary died 24 Sept 1965 at Ogden USA and buried 27th at 2.0 p.m. Valley Vista Methodist Church. I make it that she was 42 years when she died. The few facts I have about any of them have been obtained from the backs of photographs and two or three letters my maiden aunts Annie and Edith had kept. However I did have success with the surname AHLBRANDT, mentioned in one of the letters. I got in touch into the WOOD family,and had been helped by Aunt Nid Ahlbrandt nee Wood, who is mentioned many times in the letters. Looks like another of Walt's sisters, Dorothy, also married an Ahlbrant.Arlene sent me copies of her research and many photographs, which included many with Dorothy, her husband and children one, so a real treasure trove, and very gratefully received. My grandmother had also kept a letter she had received from Walt's mother, written in 1927 after the death of her daughter Florrie. This letter has also been sent from Wellington, to my Grandmother who was then living in Holton le Clay, Lincolnshire. I can type this letter for you, if anybody is interested. If anybody wants a photograph of Dolly etc; please email me and I will scan and send one by email. Pat

28th October 1927, Wellington, Colorado, U.S.A. My dearest Mother, I was sure glad to get your letter which arrived on Monday and thanks also for the books which I received the day following. Whist writing I have the radio tuned in on a band concert. I intended to answer your letter yesterday but cut my finger and then did my usual stunt. I do not get over it so quick as I used to do. We have not had much sleep for the last week. Walt had a cold, then a cough developed but he only coughed at night. Last night when we could have slept we were disturbed other-wise. Ted had quite a nice birthday and sure had a sweetley pretty cake. You know I never thought about it being his twenty-first birthday. You know they come of age here when only eighteen. Nov 1st - I thought my letter would have been on its way before now mother, but here it is. Ed start school again yesterday after a three weeks beet vacation. He just loves to go. He brought his class picture home last night. There are two of his cousins in it too. Roy (Rose's boy) and Donald (Florries boy). Ed sure looks good I think Well' I hope Edith does make good on her home-work and pass her exam. It would sure be fine. I'm glad she is some better. You know I entered a bunch of my sweet peas in the fair and took second premium on the best bouquet. They judged dahlias, asters etc; altogether. I also entered those pillow-covers I made at home and took first prize with the one with the daisies on it. I think I told you that my neighbours, Lovall's had moved away and Eatmon's had come back. Well Mrs Eatmon gave birth to a baby girl two weeks ago last Saturday morning. She developed intestinal flu and died last Sat. morning. She was buried on Sunday afternoon, Pa, Walt and Jim were pall-bearers. Mrs Eatmon sure suffered terribly, she did'nt look a bit like herself. She was so tickled because this baby happened to be a first girl. She had already had five boys, two of them are living. The paper says she was only twenty-six but I think it was a mistake as, according to what she told me she was a little younger than I am. Two or three weeks ago a Mexican shack, about two miles away, burned down and burned three little children to death. The under-taker had to pick them up with a beet fork and put them all in one casket. At our Ladies Aid meeting last month, we all had to draw something that reminded us of Hallow-e'en. I drew my old cat that I used to draw years and years ago, never dreaming that it would be any good. A lady who has studied and taught art etc; was the judge. Imagine how surprised I was when they said "Mrs Wood wins the prize for the best drawing". The prize was a candy doll. The day after Aid Mary and I went to visit Mrs Lough. We had a real nice time visiting and playing croquet. Well' we have had three weeks of lovely weather even hotter than in summer, but now it has changed. I washed yesterday and pretty nearly frozen hanging out the clothes, of which I always have plenty. I am thankful to say that nearly all our beets are hauled in now. I guess we will finish up tomorrow if it does not storm again. I sold a bunch of young roosters, got $14.46 for them. I bought the children two suits of winter underwear each., Mary a new hat and myself a new tablecloth. One of those you gave me wore out last year and the other is pretty nearly gone. Walt's cough is better but he has a stiff neck now. I guess Mr Hurdle is finally going to fix up our cellar. I hope he does so that we can stock up for winter. I am enclosing a picture of "us four", it is enlarged from a snap like the ones I sent you. I have six of them and am sending them to my friends Dorothy has been in the hospital, she managed to have a mis-carriage (3 months) and let herself go for three weeks, finally she had to go to the hospital for treatment. (Dont remark about this in your letter) Well mother, I hope you are all well and with lots of love to all I remain Your loving daughter XXXXX Dolly XXXXX p.s. I will write Annie as soon as I can. Enclosed newspaper cutting Mrs. Thelma Eatmon Dies at Wellington' Mrs Thelma Eatmon, 26 years of age, wife of Willard Eatmon, died at the family home in Wellington of Pneumonia early Saturday. Mrs Eatmon who had made her home in Wellington for a number of years, is survived by her husband, and by several children, the youngest of which is only a baby 2 or 3 weeks of age. The funeral will be held at two-o'clock Sunday afternoon, services being at the Wellington Community Church. Pat

My advice would be, listen to elder family members but confirm information. My father in law gave me quite abit about the Baillies but had muddled his females marrying his grandfather to his great grandmother. Never Ever Assume always seek proof. Check original sources of transcripts and keep a note of sources. Keep a note of sources checked even if nothing found so you know not to go there again. If you can't go back try going sideways from siblings then back.  If looking at other peoples family trees on a certain web site do check the info before adding it to your tree.  I see a distant cousin of mine has claimed a William form Northumberland as our ancestor born back in late 1700's We both have William in Gr Carlton 1851 census stating he is from Little Carlton where his bapt is in the parish reg to Matthew and Elizabeth. Why he insists William is from Northumberland escapes me but I see others have taken his tree and added it to theirs. Some time ago I was offered for a price info from a researcher in Devon re my relative. I didn't bite but some one else did and was sent up the wrong tree.  She was told the husband of the mariners wife on 1851 census (whose husband was not at home census night) was lodging as a carpenter in the same parish.  I already had found this mariner at national archives, his seamans record, description and voyages and eventual death at sea. Happy hunting Pam  ________________________________

As he was baptised on the same day he was born it is likely he did not live. His parents probably never registered either his birth or his death.

Hi there Pat, I hope you don't mind me coping them, they really are so good, and  as I said earlier, we need more of this sort of info. My wife too has had relatives that went to Canada though, and we have some of the little things that they sent over in the very early years,(1900's ), it allows you to see what went on years ago to your relatives. Many thanks   Bazza ________________________________ From: Pat Cook <paver207@yahoo.co.uk> To: ENG-LINCSGEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, 1 February 2012, 15:45 Subject: [LIN] Letters by Dorothy Smith - No 13 6th October 1927 Wellington, Colorado, U.S.A. My dearest Mother,   I got my work done up early this morning so that I could get a few letters written. You must not expect me to write straight on this paper, mother, for its simply impossible. I dont suppose you mind tho; so long as you can read it.   I want to thank you very much for the photograph of Marg, and Edith.  They surely are big girls, especially Marg.  I think she is a pretty girl too.  Edith looks quite a bit like Annie, don't you think it's a nice picture.   Thanks for your last letter, the books and Ed's card, he was tickled with it.  Thank Annie for her card I think it a very nice one, and I'll be glad to get her letter too.   I suppose you got Doris's letter, what do you think about it.  Things like that go against the grain with me but of course I won't tell her so.  She sent me a snapshot of the baby, such a sweet happy little girl, and also a proof picture of her husband.   Yes mother, we had our grain all threshed at the same time as I had the car accident.  We only had fifteen acres of barley.  Our oats was spoiled by the hail and Walt cut it for hay.   We are working in the beets now but are not going on full time until next week.  We cut our third cutting of hay about three weeks ago, yesterday we got one stack up and of course it had to rain again last night, so goodness only knows when we will get the other two stacks up.  The weather has been a fright lately, snowing and raining and everything else, but what we want.   Why don't you come around here mother, I'll give you a few hens.  I think I'll have someone come out from Fort Collins to buy my young roosters.  I have about twenty ready for fries.  I want to get the money so that I can buy Mary a new winter hat and get a few extra groceries.   I shall have an extra man here for all his meals during the beet harvest and the man we have now will be in for dinner too, so I'll need quite a bit of food extra.  I have a good name for feeding and cooking and I want to keep it up.   I am glad the folks back there don't forget me entirely, I sure wish I could visit everybody once.  Did Aunt Liza go to see Suie?  Is Aunt Sarah as fat and jolly as ever and how is she getting along? Is she a grandma yet?   I had a letter from Nell Blanchford the other day and she told me about Nell Boarman's husband, Billy Drury.  He used to work in Rasen when I lived at Hunter's (Worked in the chain works I think) and he used to make eyes at me those days.  I am glad you had such a nice time on your visit.   I heard about Kathie Sharp and feel awfully sorry for her.  I imagine she is just like Florrie was.  I wrote Kathy a letter a week or more ago, I felt as though I ought to.   Last Thursday night we went to Deines for a late dinner.  A young Wellington couple who are leaving shortly were there too.  For eats we had noodle soup, fried chicken, creamed potatoes, milk gravy, pickles, lemon pie, peaches and angel-food cake.  We had a real nice time and did not get home until nearly midnight.   The following day was my birthday and a miserable day I spent too.  I made a big cake with pink icing and Ed and I had it together.  I don't care much for iced cakes myself.   Last Sunday week Mary graduated from the Cradle Roll into the Sunday school.  When Ed gets his new suit I am going to send both of them to S. S, we only live a few minutes walk away.   Ed is doing fine in school, learning quite a bit and knows lots of little ditties.  He like to go too.   I had to dress a chicken and give it to the Ladies Aid the other day.  I sure like that job, I'll say.   Well, I got thirty-seven quarts of peaches canned and a few pints of pumpkin for pies.  I made seven quarts of cucumber pickles and pickled seven quarts of red beets.  I also made a batch of green tomato catchup.   Well mother dear, I'll soon have to fix dinner, so guess I'd better close.  Hope you are all well and send my love to all of you.   I remain         Your loving daughter             XXXXX  Dolly  XXXXX p.s. I am having a snap shot of "us folks" enlarged, will mail one as soon as I get them. This letter is the only one of Dorothy's letters that is written on unlined paper, hence the mark about writing straight. The refernces to the Aunt's Liza and Sarah.  They are sisters of Dorothy's mother, Mary Ann nee ROSSINGTON. There was a fourth sister called Susan, she was unmarried, and died the day after giving birth to Suie. Susan died 1 April 1906 at Osgodby, Lincs.  The girls were the children of William ROSSINGTON and his wife Elizabeth Myra nee WATERFIELD.Mary Ann was expecting her fifth child at the time, and Eliza also had young children, so Suie was taken and raised along with her own children by Sarah. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
