For anyone interested in the drainage of the Fens, particularly Deeping Fen there is a very interesting document here: http://www.southhollandlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/A0S-P-0279-Histor y-of-Deeping-Fen-and-Pode-Hole-Pumping-Station.pdf This pdf is downloadable for reading/browsing at leisure. Finding this history whilst doing some research on Deeping Fen ancestors led me to the South Holland Life / Chain Bridge Forge site which has a lot of interesting info. www.southhollandlife.com Terry

Mick, Hill View Hospital was located on Dysart Road in Grantham. It was the Workhouse before becoming an Old Peoples Hospital and later became a Maternity Hospital . My son was born there in 1971. The exact address then was 137 Dysart Road. It closed down in early 1970's when Grantham Hospital had a new wing attached. All gone now but look on Googlemaps and you will see "Appoline Dental Care" on Dysart Road. It was at the rear of those premises. Regarding the Gt Gonerby and Manthorpe Nursing Association, have a look on British Newspapers on line. Under Grantham Journal you will see quite a few references. The edition of 9 Jan 1937 mentions J Footitt serving refreshments! You might have some luck if you e mail "Grantham Journal" also "Grantham Matters" website and ask them to put a letter in , asking for anyone who has memories or details. e mail:- GranthamMatters@gmail.com *comment@granthamjournal.co.uk <comment@granthamjournal.co.uk>.* For your Interest ,you will see a story from me, added today, on Grantham Matters Website regarding the finding of some Family Papers.

Eliza Ann Footitt ne Norman was my G Grandmother and she was born in c1872 in Littleport , she married my G Grandfather in G Gonerby Church .I have recently found out that she was a member of Great Gonerby and Manthorpe Nursing association and the mothers union of G Gonerby since their foundation and was also a district midwife . I wonder , as one does , if records of the above bodies still exist anywhere and if anyone on this list could point me in their direction . She passed away at Hill View Hospital on 30 March 1951 - I don't know where this hosptal was/is located . I knew her only briefly as I was born in 1945 . T I A . Mick Wilson .

Hello: Thanks Mick!. I actually had this, I forgot about it, and I had Henry Markham's bp date, but no parents, and a conflict of dates, but .... you prompted me at a good time, and have spent an absolute intense number of hours to truly get into this area again. Read me books again, maps, all my notes, printed Notts Visitations, had to go back to some basics, a lot of sorting, a lot, trimmed this area down much, more reading, more sorting, and again. Briefly, I know from years of my own research, that two Henry Markham in Markham books have been confused/combined. This Col. Henry Markham has never been correctly linked, so this must be a first for the history books !!!. I had his bp date, no idea which Abraham. This took time to clean up. But he will be the Abraham Markham mentioned on pg. 26 of The Visitation of the county of Nottinghamshire m. Jane Eyre who have a son Henery Markham*. Abraham Markham of Newbo Abbey, near Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire, m. Jane Eyre, should be the parents of Col. Henry Markham (Commissioner) bp:16-04-1619 at St. Lawrence, Sedgebrook, Lincolnshire. [Henery Markham* bp:1619]: Along with his brother ffrancis bp:1622, are names and genealogy added AFTER the 1614 Visitation to this chart etc. Quite distracting if one thinks Henery Markham* was mentioned living in 1614 !!!. I know one single connected line like this, will have quite some impact on the other nearby associated trees. An awful lot extends from 'Sedgebrook', and connects directly back to the famous Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Markham, and 'Newbo Abbey' probably the most unrecognized place name, meaning, a place name not being properly recognized for region of Markham. 'Newbo Abbey' was apparently VERY CLOSE to Sedgebrook, and Allington part of this family too, just n. of Sedgebrook. [Abraham Markham] that might be mentioned of, or have connections to Allington, is this same [Abraham Markham] of 'Newbo Abbey'. Some offspring married off and lived there!. [Specs]: Just a few blocks away from Col. Henry Markham when living in Dublin, very nearby is one William Markham (Brother ?). I will end off to say, after 20 years of looking into Col. Henry Markham, fragments here and there, if one ever got to put a short book together on him and his life from all primary records, you will find he had the most interesting life, well travelled, well liked, political, very religious, a person of note, a book I would like to read. Cheers - Bart [!!!] .... -----Original Message----- According to the Sedgebrook register his father was Abraham MARKHAM. There's no mention of his mother's christian name. Mick.

Hello Bart. According to the Sedgebrook register his father was Abraham MARKHAM There's no mention of his mother's christian name. Mick

Hello: I would like to resolve an age old problem in this tree. As I have it: Col. Henry Markham (Commissioner in Ireland) should be the person bp:16-04-1619 ‘Sedgebrook’, Lincolnshire. The problem is I don’t know his parents. They should be of ‘Sedgebrook’. I should be able to work out which Markham it is, if I can just get the father’s first name. Is this ‘Sedgebrook’ register available to view ?. I basically need to get all the Markham in here. Is there a church in ‘Sedgebrook’ ?. Cheers – Bart [!!!] .... ===

Their mailing list software only accepts messages in "plain text". I know this is frustrating to many of our artistic members who like to add a colored text signature line or those of us who love to use LARGE FONT to get your attention, but "fancy text", as it used to be called, is not an Internet standard so your message may appear a thing of beauty to you when you send it, but others may wonder what all the strange characters are in what they are seeing. If we all had the same e-mail software on our desktop computers, we might wish to allow "fancy text". But it too, like many of us, is now obsolete, replaced by Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

There are still plenty of slaters around here in Scotland! Also in Wales and probably other parts of UK where the use of slate is prevalent. I am just about to use one to get my garage roof sorted. Not a "lost" trade.

Elizabeth - if George had been a slater, he probably worked with Collyweston slate, which was mined at the Northamptonshire village of that name a few miles to the south-west of Stamford.  Many buildings in Stamford still have these slates on their roofs (I was born in one myself!).  Perhaps George was born in Collyweston (or Easton-on-the hill, the next village)?  That would also place him closer to Seaton. I don't know about a Stamford workhouse in the 18th century (there certainly was in the 19th), but there were a number of almshouses in the town, and maybe George the elder was employed (or lived)in one of those?

The entry was as follows:- Robert SHARP Head married age 47 Gardener Born West Ashby c 1814 Rebecca " Wife m 44 Born Boston c 1817 Whattam " Son u 16 Born West Keal Mary Ann " Daur u 14 Scholar " Robert " Son u 10 " " William " Son u 8 " " Henry " Son u 6 " " bn 1844 - my (Jan's) ggrandfather John " Son u 4 " " >From Parish Records: WEST KEAL BAPTISMS APR 1831 - OCT 1859 1831 Apr 23 - Charles s.o.

I have heaps more later stuff. There could be a connection of siblings earlier with the big families they all had then. Hope I've been of help and that we connect.

Nivard, Thanks for the very useful info. Did not about the non ability to volunteer in/after 1916. The battalion and ASC details for Grandad Horace are news to me so will give the proverbial "brick wall" a big shake.

My grandfather Horace David RYLOTT enlisted in the Lincs regiment in I believe 1917 as he was born 1899 He served in France first with the Lincs but then transferred to ASC possibly after being gassed. Not sure which battalion but wonder if his enlistment centre might have been influential in that. His service record card (only) is on Ancestry - the rest destroyed in WW2 bombing. Any ideas?

Hi Peter As it was past Jan 1916 he was conscripted, there would be no relevance to the unit he was attached to after basic training, they were allocated as the needs were at the time From the RASC Victory & British War medal roll (Ancestry) Horace David RYLOTT T/455457 RASC Previously of the 7th Battalion Lincolnshire regiment Transferred to the RASC 25th June 1919 Discharged under paragraph 392 (XXVIII) 8th April 1920 XXVIII = discharged on demobilisation Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/04/2016 06:30, Peter via wrote: > My grandfather Horace David RYLOTT enlisted in the Lincs regiment in I believe 1917 as he was born 1899 > > He served in France first with the Lincs but then transferred to ASC possibly after being gassed. > > Not sure which battalion but wonder if his enlistment centre might have been influential in that. > > His service record card (only) is on Ancestry - the rest destroyed in WW2 bombing. > > Any ideas? > > Peter G HOLMES --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
