Ann To be clear I only forwarded the message from someone in Yorksgen who has the BMDs. He requested it be forwarded to other lists. That was why I forwarded it to the Lincs list.

Hi, Missing Lincs, Drat! I've misplaced my calendar of Pagan Holidays. I'll have to download another one. It really hasn't helped me much with my family history, but it does remind me that our ancestors were not all Christians. just as some of you on this list are not Christians. But we made it thru Loki's Day, which we now call April Fools' Day. Easter used to be a Pagan holiday to celebrate the arrival of Spring. It was co-opted, some say, by the early Catholic Church so that early Christians could still celebrate a Spring holiday, but not feel guilty about its Pagan roots. I do know that at least one Christian Church does not celebrate birthdays, including Christmas. But I have Jewish friends who celebrate Christmas just to keep their kids happy. I'd like to celebrate the women in our family trees. We wouldn't be here without them! So drag out that tree and let's find some of those women who show up with just a question mark for a surname. Let's find out more about them. Let's see what we can find before the end of Willow Tree Month. Oh, and don't forget to backup the data on the computer while the family is sitting around the Easter dinner table. Lou (list admin.)

WILKINSON, Kirmond le Mire WILKINSON, Immingham MARSHALL, Barrow on Humber By 1854, Joseph WILKINSON & Sarah MARSHALL and family had moved to Yorkshire Were there any relatives left behind? Kathryne Natale [email protected]

Two brothers with their families from my tree emigrated in 1851 arriving in New York on 17 June . They comprised 4 adults and 16 children. There is a curiosity in that one of the girls became a boy for the journey it seems. )n the 1851 census the girl is Jane Woodiffe aged 9 - there is no Jane on the manifest but a Joseph aged 9 who isn't on the census. On reaching the US Jane reappeared and Joseph disappeared. They settled in Michigan. There is a Woodliff cemetery in Jackson Co started by one of them John Firth

My great great grandfather and his family (three children at that time) emigrated from Caistor, Lincs. in 1850, thought to be due to hard times in England at that time. Family legends abound, but I suspect they were desperately poor and needed new opportunities. They landed in New York on July 15, 1850 with a newborn and were counted in the Clark County, Ohio census on August 6, 1850. We have no idea how they got that far that fast, but must have been by train, so they must have had some money. My great great grandfather worked in a brewery in Springfield, OH for a couple of years and they subsequently move to Springfield, Illinois, where Mr. Hunsley was a teamster and also sold firewood from a piece of land he bought and cleared. One of his customers was Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Many descendants of his family still live in the central Illinois area. One of his sons migrated to the Kansas at the time of the construction of the transcontinental railroad, where he shot biso! n to provide food for the railroad construction workers. He homesteaded a farm in Pawnee County, Kansas and several descendants still remain in that area. It still blows my mind that people would emigrate from their home and never go back and never see their relatives and friends again, but I guess that was common in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was the culmination of a lifelong dream of mine that my brother and I were able to finally return to Lincolnshire in 2013 and see the country and the friendly people. Tom Hunsley

Hi, Missing Lincs, I've been distracted from the list. Had an old Friend die last Thursday way up in Oregon and it is a 10-hour trip to attend the funeral. But she insisted that her family not hold a funeral or even a celebration of life. She wanted no fuss. But those events are for those of us who are left behind, not for the deceased. Death doesn't make appointments. He comes when he wants you. So, be prepared. Write that Will. Leave instructions for your family (No! I don't want the Viking funeral with the burning ship.) And if you've got an old lover or partner listed on a bank account or insurance policy, now is the time to clean up your past. Get those accounts updated. You don't want your children standing around a month after your death saying,"Who is this George Murphy fellow she left money for?" And who gets all of Flo's piles of family history records? And I do NOT have any additional information on the Potato Famine. They've got this new thing, called a Library, where they will help you with that research. Lou

I think it is far more likely that the seal was acquired along with other documents relating to a family now known as the more anglicised BOLD than vice versa. Sara

Hello list I just realized that I didn't post the source reference for the document with the wax seal. I meant to but I was so excited about the seal itself that I forget to. Here it is from the National Library of Wales online catalogue: Lease for 5 years of a piece of meadow called le Ouxpastr', , and if 2 ..., Author(s): Material type: Text Language: Latin Year: 1383 Level: File. Summary: 1 Lord John la Warre, kt, lord of Swynesheued. 2 Ralph Bolle of Swynesheued. Lease for 5 years of a piece of meadow called le Ouxpastr', [ ? p. Swineshead, Lincolnshire], and if 2 dies within the aforesaid term there will be no constraint upon his heirs to rent the aforesaid meadow beyond the first day of March following his death. Annual rent: 100s. Dated at Swynesheued. Latin. Armorial seal of 2 (damaged). Deed repaired prior to purchase by NLW. (note: I believe "the meadow called le Ouxpastr'" may have been a meadow called The Ox Pasture in modern terms. - Tom) And here are some notes from the comments from the archivist after he examined the document for me: “armorial seal of Ralph Bolle of Swynesheued (damaged)”, that is attached to a Lease for 5 years of a piece of meadow called le Ouxpastr', dated 10 Feb. 1382/3, ref. Swineshead Lincolnshire Deeds 6.the seal in question, whilst being slightly damaged and is missing a small section at the top along with most of its right-hand edge, is pretty much intact and shows a good impressing.The deed is actually accompanied by a brief note, which says “Fine seal red wax arms of the Bold fam pt broken off”, and the seal impression itself appears to show a shield bearing three sailing ships, encircled by what remains of an inscription.(Note: the note referring to the 'Bold family' is not part of the original document but was added at some point later when the document was catalogued. This might be an important reference indicating that the Bolle family originally was called Bold. More likely the archivist in Wales who cataloged this document was more familiar with the name Bold which occurs commonly in Wales than with the name Bolle. In any case there is no provenance to this note so I don't think it can be considered any more significant than the description of the shield as bearing three sailing ships. - Tom) Tom

Do you realize that as everyone who rants and raves about a mistake made by one poor individual, that your replies just duplicate his mailing list. John.

The 1840s are rather early for my family, but emigrate they did. My 2X great-grandfather's uncle, Isaac DALTON / DOULTON, born Friskney 1809, emigrated with his family - his wife was Mary NEAL (born Gedney 1818) - a bit later. They were living in Gedney in 1851. He was an agricultural labourer and they then appear in the 1860 census in Aurora in upper New York State.So thanks for that genuki site which was very interesting. It appears to have been a very individual decision about whether or not to emigrate. My great grandmother Ann Wilkinson MUXLOW and her 2 sisters stayed in the UK. But in 1871-2, her 4 MUXLOW / MUCKLOW brothers, William, Isaac, Edwin, and John Thomas emigrated to Ontario with their families. Isaac came back to Lincolnshire about 5 years later, married, had 2 children, then returned to Ontario, and had more children but eventually moved across the border into Michigan around 1883 where more children were born. The 5th brother, Charles Frederick and his family, went later - in 1908. First to Ontario, later to Michigan. This repeated pattern of emigration points to continued problems in the agricultural sector through the period from the 1850s to the pre 1st world war period. I have a textbook on the East Midlands in this period which speaks of a "prolonged and debilitating depression which overtook agriculture" in Lincolnshire in the last quarter of the 19th century, with "severe problems" particularly to the areas where there was arable farming. I guess this is the evidence.
