Does anyone have access to the Archdeacons transcripts or PRs etc for *Hawstead Sfk *circa 1594-1650. Looking for BMD info on VESEY family. Have a John Vesey of Hintlesham ( d.1593/94 in Lindsay) who married Alice CUTLER of Eye circa 1575 in Stanstead. Appears she/widow Alice V may have remarried in Hawstead ( = Jn BULBROOK) in 1594. Totally stonewalled trying to locate any info her children Elizabeth V b.abt 1576 and Wm V b.abt 1579 after their father's death 1594. Can anyone help ? David Vesey Toronto Canada.
Thank you so much for this. Yes it is a very brief reference, but it is the only one I have to him being called Dobbler. Presumably he dobbed the mortar between the bricks. I had no idea that Dobson had written other books, clearly I will have to track down a copy. So thank you for having a look for me.

This is towards the end of the second and final page (115) of an article entitled "A Kelsale Yesterday" by Allan Jobson (1889-1980) which I found yesterday in volume 30 at the SRO in Ipswich (on shelf GD4 of the rolling stacks in the microform searchroom). Much of page 114 is devoted to a photograph of two girls standing in the village, whose image seems to have provided inspiration for the article. I saw no dates but the names and occupations of several other local tradespeople mentioned by Jobson may have been taken from a county directory of the 1880s rather than from his own memories. Another potential source is his mother, Eliza n�e BARHAM, who was born in nearby Middleton, where I understand young Allan was a frequent visitor from their home in London, long before he lived in Westleton and Felixstowe (Tony Copsey, 2002: "Suffolk Writers who were born between 1800-1900", p. 204).

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. We will remember them -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

In memory of Clarence Walter Smith, nephew of my Great Grandmother, died at Loos 26.9.1915, aged 23. My Great Uncle, Daniel Gant, died on the Somme, 20.7.1916, aged 36. His nephew, my second cousin, Robert Thomas Lloyd, died on the Somme 15.7.1916, aged 18. Also, my second cousin, Leonard Herbert Emsden, D.C.M. who returned home after a distinguished career in the Royal Flying Corps. Daniel, Robert and Leonard were all descended from Robert Gant and Mary Ann Gant (formerly Hiskey) of Elmsett, Suffolk.

As we do at this time every year on this List, and whether you call it Remembrance Day, Armistice Day or Veterans' Day, please feel free to post your memories of warriors either lost or returned, who served or who are still serving, of any country and any conflict, and of civilians lost because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I remember my father, Lt.Col. Gordon M. Wyant (b. Günter Maximilian Weiss), who served in the RAMC in WWII, and my uncle, Sgt. Edgar T. Wyant (b. Egon Weiss), who served in Italy with the 849th Signal Infantry Service, U.S. Army. I remember my grandfather's younger brother, Gefr. Arthur Weiss, 87th Reserve Infantry Regiment of Mainz, who was killed near Cernay-en-Dormois, France, on 15 May/1915 (Pesach) fighting for his country. I remember all my Suffolk uncles who served in British forces in WWII. Two years ago, I tried to find Arthur's grave in three immaculately kept German war cemeteries near Cernay-en-Dormois but could not. Each cemetery also had a mass plot holding hundreds and hundreds of unnamed German war dead from nearby battles of WWI. I can only assume he is resting in one of those. I also stood on Juno Beach, remembering all the Canadians who stormed ashore at that place on 6 Jun/1944, many of whom now rest in the Canadian war cemetery at Beny-sur-Mer, a few kilometres inland, under the quiet shade of Canadian maple trees. May they rest in peace. Looking at the world today and the increasing rise of racism, populism, nationalism, protectionism or fascism in many countries, led by "strongmen", both western and non-western, I sometimes fear they died in vain. And I remember all the members of my extended family who perished in the Holocaust. Lest we forget.

Thank you, Peter. My father's uncle Arthur George Harrison, killed in May 1918, commemorated on the Ploegsteert Memorial which I visited a few years ago. My mother's cousin Andrew Newton Haig, killed at Gallipoli, commemorated on the Helles Memorial. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
