Jean If nobody else gets back to you with this then I will go and look it up in the East Sussex Records Office when I am back at work. My father was born in Hastings but lived in Salehurst (Church Terrace) from about 6 months old until he went to war. My mother was born in Robertsbridge and lived just by the railways station (Grandad was the local haulier and coalman and had his yard by the sidings). They both attended the little local school (leaving age was 14 then)and attended Salehurst Church where they both became choristers. Robertsbridge and Salehurst bring back many childhood memories for me so if there is anything else you need to know then please do ask.

Oh Liz I am so sorry. I am shedding tears for you now as I was seeing my dad as I read this letter. Please pass on my condolences to your mother even though she does not even know me. To you I send (((((((((((((((((((((((((Trivvie Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))) Take care DiDi http://photobucket.com/albums/d100/didi_45 Just to let you know that Dad died peacefully on 3 July, aged 87, after 4 long months in hospital. He had had a series of mini strokes (small vessel cerebrovascular disease) and we saw him pass through many different stages which caused him a great amount of frustration and anxiety. My mother visited him each day and only missed three in the whole of this time, despite her physical infirmities; her devotion was a lesson in true love but that added to the family's concerns and worries and our hearts break for her too. He was on diamorphine for his last 5 days and so was lifted above his anxiety and pain and enabled us to see him prepare to leave us in comfort and peace and that was a great source of comfort for us too. As importantly to all of us was that the afternoon before he died we had all been there together; his priest had been to anoint and offers prayers and we all laid on hands of healing;during a small songs of praise (held each Sunday in the hospital) we had sat and sung the hymns and said the prayers around him and then there was Songs of Praise on the television that we all joined in. Mum wanted to be there at his end to hold his hand as he passed from life to death - but she missed it by 10 minutes; she wanted him there for their 60th wedding anniversary, as he did, but he went just 3 days too soon. My sister and I have been there supporting her this week, to comfort her in her pain of grief and to help make those painful decisions and to try to be strong for her. I am sure the reality will now set in as we are now in a period of no decisions or mad rushing round making arrangements until Sunday 16th when his body will be taken to Church for vespers and then on the 17th there will be a Requiem Mass followed by private cremation. It may just be another date in our genealogy for future generations but for now his memories will be very much alive for us. His faith and his family were his life and I was blest to have him as a father.

Hi all My daughter Heather has just discovered that she and her husband Chris are 5th cousins once removed, which means that Chris is my 4th cousin twice removed, as well as being my son-in-law! We are wondering if any other Trivvies have discovered similar links in their own family history. Jean Oz

Dear Liz We share in the profound sorrow at the loss of your father. He is now at rest. Johno and family.

i'm my own cousin. my gr gr grandparents were first cousins. ergo, i am also my children's cousin, and my children are each other's cousin too. and my cousin..is also my cousin, cousin...lol. i've one cousin, cousin who was raised in foster homes. she is constantly seeking family connections. when, i found our ancestors were first cousins, i told her the next time she feels really lonely and in need of a kin connection to look in the mirror..she'll see her cousin...that and her children are also her cousins. we did have a good laugh at that..we're never alone, because our cousin is always with us. cya roz On Saturday, July 08, 2006 8:18 PM, jaykay [SMTP:jkemp@space.net.au] wrote: > Hi all > > My daughter Heather has just discovered that she and her husband Chris > are 5th cousins once removed, which means that Chris is my 4th cousin > twice removed, as well as being my son-in-law!

From the CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Geo. CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 / ROYAL TOOTHACHE The frivolous pretence of plots against QUEEN ELIZABETH's life by sorcery had recently been revived. There were found at Islington, concealed in the house of a catholic priest, three waxen images of the queen, and two of her chief councillors, which, it was said, were intended to be operated upon in a diabolical manner for her destruction. Much at the same time, her majesty was attacked with such grievous toothache, that nothing could mitigate the torture she endured, and she obtained no rest either by night or day. Some persons attributed these sufferings to the malign magic that had been employed against her. Her physicians held a consultation on the royal malady, and instead of devising a remedy for her relief, fell to disputing among themselves on the cause of her indisposition, and the medicines most advisable to use. The lords of the council then took the matter in hand, and decided on sending for an "outlandish physician, of the name of JOHN ANTHONY FENATUS", who was celebrated for curing this agonizing pain; but, as it was a perilous thing to intrust the sacred person of a sovereign, so suspicious of plots against her life by poison, as Elizabeth, to the discretion of a foreign practioner, "who might possibly be a Jew, or even a papist", they would not permit him to see her majesty, but required him to write his prescription. FENATUS composed a long and elaborate letter in reply; declaring, in the first place, his unworthiness to come after such great physicians, and then prescribing divers remedies, but with the intimation, "that, if the tooth were hollow, when all was said and done, it was best to have it drawn, though at the cost of some short pain. If, however, her majesty could not bring herself to submit to the use of chirurgical instruments, (of which, it seems, he had heard something of her abhorrence), then, he advised, that the juice of chelidonius major might be put into the tooth, and so stopped with wax, that none of it might touch the sound parts, which would so loosen the tooth, that, in a short time, it might be pulled out with the fingers; or, the root of the said plant might be rubbed upon the tooth, which would produce the same effect; but concluded, by declaring, that drawing the tooth was by all esteemed, the safest and best way ." The courage of the lion-hearted Elizabeth failed her on this occasion, and she expressed so much repugnance to the loss of her tooth, combined with terror of the pain that might attend the operation, that the eloquence of her whole cabinet could not prevail upon her to undergo it. AYLMER, Bishop of London, who was present at this grave debate, then stood forth; and, after assuring her Majesty, that the pain was less than she apprehended, told her, "that although he was an old man, and had not many teeth to spare, she should see a practical experiment of it on himself" ; and thereupon, bade the surgeon, who was in attendance, extract one of his teeth in her majesty's presence, which encouraged the queen to submit to the like operation. ..... "The Queens of England".

From the CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Geo. CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 / CONDENSED INTELLIGENCE An eel was last week left by the receding tide on Milnthorpe sands, which measured five feet in length and twenty inches in circumference, and weighed no less than 32 pounds. The registrar-general's returns show, that only five per cent. of the marriages take place out of the church; and that 85 per cent. of the children usually born are baptised in the church. FULLER, the well-known author of "British Worthies", wrote his own epitaph, as it appears in Westminster Abbey. It consists of only four words, but it speaks volumes: "Here lies Fuller's earth !" On Friday last, SIR HUGH EVELYN, who is described as very aged and feeble, was discharged by the chief commissioner of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, in London, after having been imprisoned in the Queen's prison eighteen years. It is said that the costs of the prosecution against M. PEDRO de ZULLETTA, for slave-trading, of which charge he was acquitted last week, exceeded £1700. Upwards of 270 highly-respectable firms and indivduals in Manchester have agreed to close their places of business at one o'clock every Satruday afternoon.

From the CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 posted with permission of the transcriber, barb. Baker. Geo. CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 / SHIPWRECKS We regret to state that accounts have been received at Lloyd's from the Cape of Good Hope, containing the most sad intelligence of a dreadful storm having occurred on the night of the 26th of August, in and off the coast of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, by which four valuable ships, valued at between £300,000, and £400,000, were lost, as also several lives. The first vessel of which we have to report the loss is the "Elizabeth Rowell", of 320 tons. It appears that she weathered the storm for several hours, but was at length driven ashore, and shortly afterwards went to pieces, her commander, CAPTAIN WAKE, and his crew, having saved themselves by taking to the long-boat. She had a miscellaneous cargo of considerable value. At about midnight, during the raging of the storm, the bark "Seagull", 239 tons, was seen to make for the Bay, which she ultimately reached, when she suddenly foundered, and every soul on board, fifteen in number, including the captain, MR. MURRAY, perished. By this catastrophe, we are informed, ten widows and twenty-five children are left destitute. Another vessel, the "Laura" was also lost with all hands, in Algoa Bay, during the storm, the sea at the time running completely over her, and dashing her with violence on the beach, where in a few hours she went to pieces. This vessel belonged to her ill-fated commander, MR. CROCKLEY, and was from the port of Chester. The "Delhi", MR. BYRON, commander and owner, built at Shoreham in 1833, was also lost within a few miles of the spot where the "Elizabeth Rowell" was wrecked, but the crew were providentially saved. It is feared, from the violence of the hurricane, that many other vessels were lost. The "Elizabeth Rowell" was built in 1839 at Sunderland, and the "Seagull" was launched at Montrose in 1841. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
