I have totally enjoyed reading this sharing of British customs...i.e. Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding we call it in Canada. My mum whose Dad, Edward Plowright from Wrangle, was born in Victoria B.C. She married my Dad, James Vesey who immigrated as a baby with his Ipswich family and, I grew up with roast beef and Yorkshire pudding served as the Sunday dinner meal. This conversation makes me wonder which side of the family pushed this custom so that our family, as I remember it, enjoyed the meal as a weekly tradition. Mum, as far back as I can recall always made individual servings in a muffin tin as I do. Kids love these and eat them like a dinner roll while adults pour gravy into the hollow inside them...another good excuse to have more gravy, I say. The bottom of each of the muffin tins was sprayed with oil and then drippings from the roast were poured in to cover the bottom of each portion. The pan was placed in a hot oven until it smoked. Then the pudding batter that had been beaten to death until it was filled with as much air as possible was poured into each cup 2/3 full and the pan was placed back into the oven for a half an hour until each puffed up and was baked enough so that when taken out of the oven they were crisp on the outside and would hold their shape. None ever went to waste. I would eat them cold. I'm afraid I have let the tradition go the past few years...not that the cooking is too much work but the smoke of the oven setting off the house fire alarms, fires in the oven and the cleanup of the grease splattered oven after throws a bucket of cold water on my good intentions... and I say, how about we go out for dinner.

Hi there, when we were growing up in the fens of Lincolnshire,(which was during the war years), my mother used to make her Yorkshire pudding in a large meat cooking pan, and used the juices from the cooking meat above, whatever the meat, even Rabbit, I do agree it was mainly to take the edge of our appetites, because there was only so much food to go around, being 10 children and mam & dad.

This Lincolnshire lass always had her yorkshires with her main dinner. My dad always wanted it with every meat, can't  beat a good toad in the hole (with Lincolnshire sausages of course)Any leftovers eaten with treacle, that didn't happen very often! Like apple pies at the harvest suppers, no two look the same but all taste good.

I understood that the purpose of Yorkshire pudding was to take the edge off appetites so that less meat would be needed. Also, the pan of batter was put into the oven under the meat, so that the beef juices would drip onto and flavour the pudding, which was eaten before the joint.

Hi, Missing Lincs, I was having a casual conversation about family history with a friend, when she asked, "Did any of your family ever meet anyone important?" I'm not a celebrity-chaser, but I used to work for a man who was driven to meet celebrities and "important people." I used to drop the names of a few "famous" people who I had met over the years just the look of awe on my boss's face. I never found out why this was so important to him and I don't want to start a discussion on psychological issues about stalkers and event crashers. I have a cousin who has met Princess Anne, but they are not "buddies". So my question for you to ponder is, "Who in your family tree met someone famous and how?" I have an ancestor who served with Nelson at Trafalgar. I have met a handful of movie stars when I was a Training Officer on a warship. So, time to dust off those family legends. Yes, you can include family stories about helping Robin Hood or being a scullery maid in King Arthur's court. We are not looking for proof here, only dusting off some of those stories and retelling them. If there is a Lincolnshire connection to the story, that will earn you karma points. Lou (list admin.)

Might it be an abbreviation for 'pauper' - "papr". Not the usual one, I know, but it's just a thought. I think the last letter looks more like an 'r' than an 'e'.

Greetings, Listers May I please ask for an interpretation of the occupation in an 18C burial for Thomas DEAMAN at Hagworthingham, 3 Dec 1770? The entry is at the bottom of the right hand page in: HAGWORTHINGHAM PAR/1/2, General Register 1759-1793, Image 6. While the handwriting is "fair to good," I can't wrap my mind around the occupation following the surname DEAMAN. The "Lincs" watermark does not help. Comments will certainly be appreciated.

I do agree, Lou, but perhaps new listers have never been told the rules. At least these few messages have raised the topic again.

It is easier to not capitalize. It is easier to leave out punctuation. Particularly for those who only use two thumbs to type. Now, all those things were intended to make reading easier and faster. Your brain doesn't work as hard when punctuation and capitalization are used. But the brain of the sender has to work a little harder.\ So, PLEASE us all caps for surnames, but lower case for everything else. It's not like you are going to have to send 50 messages to the list, so let's make each posting perfect. You like being perfect, don't you? Because nothing on the Internet ever disappears. Now, go clean those thumbs.

It seems to have disappeared. With names in caps it's so easy to scan the email for names and find ancestors and connections.
