All Does anyone have a tree for the Loveless martyrs i.e. a couple of generations either side, so I can once and for all find out whether we are actually related or it's another family myth. Anyone got Bertha Ann Loveless (b 1886 in Leigh, Dorset) in their tree? many thanks Derek On 21 Aug 2004, at 17:40, Donna King wrote: > Carol - .

Hi, does anyone know of any developments on the Tolpuddle Martyr DNA project?? I ask because my step son-in-law is working in Canada on ancient DNA research, he was involved with the Titanic DNA tracings of the un-named remains in Ontario. He was very interested in the story of the Martyrs and expressed interest in testing of the remains of George and James if it was an up and running project? I had heard some talk about this last year - but unsure as to whether it was a 'wish' or a serious proposal? If anyone knows of anything please let me know.

Carol - . I believe that it originated with the Lovelace mailing list in the States. I know that it was not relevant for me as my Loveless connection is on my mother's side whose grandmother was Kate Loveless.

G'day Dawn, Oh yes please, we would love a copy. Interested in the STEWART name too Dawn. My great-grandpa was Colin Stewart who emigrated to Australia in 1848 from Glasgow. Some sibling names are: Gilbert (loads of Gilberts in the tribe), Henry, Adam, Daniel, and their great-uncle was James Carruth - a man of some means apparently. The benefits didn't make to my generation though!!

Greetings all, I have recently acquired an interesting little booklet on the Martyrs entitled 'Six Heroes in Chains' by H. Brooks. Mine is a 2nd ed. published 1932. I recommend it. Found it on an out of print books website. It mentions that in 1921 a Mr. Arthur Hawkes of Toronto, Canada wrote up the Canadian part of the story for the 'Farmer's Sun'. Mr. Brooks managed to acquire a copy of this from The Clipping Bureau of the Dept. of Labour, Ottawa. Anyone out there have a copy by any chance? I would love to have a read. This booklet I have has a photo of James & Elizabeth (Standfield) Brine. If anyone would like a copy, please let me know. Cheerio m'dears, Dawn Stewart

Hello, I have a copy of this article but it is of very poor quality. From my booklet on the Martyrs, I have copied the following info: Hawkes, Arthur. Tolpuddle Martyrs First to Seek Rural Betterment. A series of 4 articles in the Farmers Sun from October 22, 1921 to November 9, 1921. This is a very detailed important article on the Martyrs in Canada. Somehow it seems to have escaped the attention of Marlow and others. Rattenbury’s 2nd edition preface mentions Hawkes but not the article itself. Hawkes was involved in first tracking down the descendents in Canada, and indeed takes the credit for breaking the story to the descendents in 1912. Quite a few Canadian libraries have the Farmer's Sun on microfilm. kind regards, Geoff

Of course Spotty DOG! What ever happened to him? Wasn't he usually the one who got up to no good?.........Speedy Gonzales, yeughh. Hoss and Little Joe wasn't it? I think they did a re-run of Bonanza (and the flaming map at the beginning?) - in Aus. a few years back. didn't the US try and re-vamp the series? And all the geneologists are probably thinking What the.....? But it's good history and a few of our ancestors would have remembered all of these far better than I !

Ok I'm another ex-Brit and didn't understand half the questions - except The Lone Ranger - that's a sad admission on my youth. So here's a few very old memories for any British Tolpuddlians. 1.Anyone remember the Cisco Kid? And the famous line at the end as they rode off laughing/ Who were 'they'? 2. Anyone remember Muffin the Mule? 3. How about a laughing mexican in a huge hat - cartoon I think - gave me nightmares as a child? 4. The Wooden Tops? no not a pop group - a kids programme - what was the dog called? 5. How about Bronco and Cheyenne? Why did I love all the cowboy programmes?? 6. What was the big guy's name in Bonanza? 7. Anyone remember Chicken Shack and their one big hit? 8. How about the British band in the 70s - the lead singer had a red towel? 9. Anyone remember the British singer in the 60's who tried to be a 2nd Elvis, sang "Hold Me' and split his tight pants on stage? 10. Did anyone eat butter sugar when they had a sore throat as a child? (It worked.) Oh you've got me all nostalgic now Donna - and where were all of you when they landed on the moon? Who remembers Ban the Bomb and nuclear disarmament? Sit ins at the nuclear power stations, smoggy early evenings when the buses couldn't run after school - oh those were the days!

Carol - thanks for your input. I think the cartoon of the mexican in the big hat was Speedy Gonazles. The mice always called for Speedy when they had a problem with the cat. The big guy on Bonanza was Hos (Dan Blocker). I used to have a record that gave the words to the Bonanza theme song. What about Snoopy and the Red Baron! Well, must run. I have to print some resumes for my daughter's boyfriend.

Hi Donna et al.: Since I'm English and well over 40, here are some possible corrections, comments, and interpretations you might have missed: 01. We had the Lone Ranger as well on BBC TV, so I got the answer to that. What did Tinto drink? ______ 02. The Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show was, of course, not the first time WE saw them on TV! 03. Easy, but I didn't really get to know Route 66 until I moved to California. 04. Got that too, most non-transplants might not have. Dragnet, I think! 05. From a song better known in England and South Africa as "Wimoweh." Bert Kaempfert hit. 06. The Limbo was especially fun on the Carnival Cruise Line's "Tropicale" in April 1989, with the waiters doing itin the cocktail lounge carrying a tray of drinks during a storm that took out much of Redondo Pier and caused about half the passengers to get seasick. Consider this - the ship was about the same tonnage as the Titanic! 07. Didn't get that one! Methought, "Nescafe?" Main chocolate brands in UK were Cadbury's and Fry's. 08. Ol' Satch was pretty good, too. Liked "The Real Ambassadors" with Dave Brubeck & Carmen MacRae. Not to mention "Hello, Dolly" and "Wonderful World." 09. In England, Timex marketed their watch as "Saga." I had one of those, but some colleagues played an April Fool's joke by running the clocks on my floor off an oscillator set slightly higher than the mains frequency so that they gained about half an hour during the workday. Couldn't figure out why my crytsal-controlled watch was apparently losing! 11. Didn't get that either! We weren't drafted to 'Nam. 12. In England, the boot was at the front! Where the bonnet is normally. In the 1980's, one of our guys put a 1000W sound system into his 1964 bug, custom license plates "1KW VW" and took it to the CES in Las Vegas. Nobody could avoid that exhibit! 13. Buddy Holly died in 1958. Big event for England too. We were very upset about the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens as well, they had both had very big hits recently, "Chantilly Lace"" and "Donna" respectively. 14. You might capitalize Sputnik! 1957. 15. Hula hoop rather than hoola? Regards Martin Willcocks (misspent youth in UK.)

That WAS fun....got all but two. Wonder what THAT means?!! Hope all is well with you and yours! Jacki - in North Dakota

G'day from Australia. Thank you Sally for your wonderful description of the Martyrs festival. We are very envious of your visit to Tolpuddle. My husband is not a direct descendant, but his 3 X great-grandfather, Richard Standfield, was uncle to Thomas & son John, and feels "connected" to the Martyrs! Cheers to all listers, Lorraine (Dodemaide) Standfield (& Jack). ----- Original Message ----- >

Hi All Just back from our hols in Dorset, and attended the Sunday event at Tolpuddle, one of my ancestral villages, and thought some of the list would be interested.... It was a very hot summers day. Jon Gray chair of South West TUC opened the days event at 11am, there was the Clarion Choir from Nottingham, music with Brendan Croker (blues guitarist), guest speakers Roger Lyons (TUC President) and Hilary Benn (MP, ((father Tony)). 1pm traffic shut off in village, (needed it as there were so many walking about), music by Billy Bragg (daughter wanted his autograph, so had a quick chat with him as he obliged). Roger Lyons, Hilary Benn with his father Tony and other guest speakers, laid wreaths on James Hammett's grave. John Ellis Methodist Minister gave a dedication to the Parade. There was folk music from Northern India, by their drums - the Dhol Blasters who led the procession of Banners through the village with the Musicians' Union Great Western Marching Jazz Band. A South Wales band, the Cwmaman Institute Silver Band entertained too, as did the Oyster Band. Oliver Trevett, Chair of Dorset Agricultural Workers introduced guest spea! kers, one of whom had previously stopped us in the village (before shut off from traffic) to ask us the way to the car park, hope she ended up in the right one), namely Carmen Jeftha, a South African textile Unionist, who gave a very passionate speech. Hazel Blears MP, Brendan Barber TUC Gen Sec and Tony Benn former MP all gave speeches, the latter was very popular, and I was impressed that throughout the day he could be seen mingling and talking to the crowds, and in very good form for his age. A 12yr old girl, Myra Kelita Chiroy de Paz from Guatemala gave a short speach through an interpreter, detailing a typical working day for her from 7am to 8pm working for a family, 5 days a week! The day on the main stage was ended by Cuban music from Asere. We had arrived at the village early, to secure a good parking space (some people had camped there since Friday to attend the whole weekend), and to have a look around before the main stage performances commenced. There were stalls selling this n that and different causes to support. We looked in the church visistor's book (always on the look out for new Hammett cousins, although Audrey from the village usually always informs me, and she had been looking out for us, so spent some time chatting with her), then toddled up to the Methodist Church to search their visitor's book for the same reason. On the way again villagers were taking the opportunity to have a sort of car boot in their front yards and selling beefburgers etc, in competition with the pub over the road which was bursting at the seams. At 5pm we went back up to the Methodist Church that two of my Hammett cousins had built and one being preacher there for the service, we had a lovely brass band to accompany the! singing and again it was packed out. The Revd Paul Arnold, Superintendent Minister of the Dorchester Methodist Circuit opened, readings were by David Wrighton (Faith & Work Development Officer for IBEX, an ecumenical body working in the South Coast economy), Keith Loveless (Churchwarden for St John's Church, didn't get a chance to talk to him but was informed later by Paul Arnold that Mr Keith Loveless had a Martyrs connection). The Revd Dr the Lord Griffiths (Leslie Griffiths), Minister of Wesley's Chapel, London and former President of the Methodist Conference gave a sermon and bouquet of flowers to a lady who had devoted 20 odd years to looking after the chapel (we later saw him being driven back to London in a very ordinary old banger of a car, hope he got there ok) , and John Ellis, Secretary for Business and Economic Affairs for the Methodist Church, gave prayers. People of all creeds were present, including a Catholic nun, and a guide dog, who stood up each time ! his master did, much to the amusement of my daughter. According to the local paper (and it was the 170th anniversary), circ 9,000 attended the event, a record number. Tony Benn thought Tolpuddle should be prescribed by the NHS to anyone suffering from depression, his son Hilary urged people to draw inspiration from the Tolpuddle Martyrs. There is a new shop near the museum now that is very well stocked, which was also bursting at the seams. Given the numbers of people attending, a couple of police did patrol, but never did I see any trouble, and all were well behaved. There was facing painting for the children and an area of amusement for them set aside. Not sure how all the villagers feel about their village being invaded for the weekend once a year, maybe some go away, but one vision that sticks in my head, was of a little dog that was barking and jumping up at his window every time someone went by. Think he was worn out by the end of the day, or his owner deaf!! When attending the Service in the Methodist Chapel, I tr! ied to imagine what it was like in the days of my Hammett cousins, my own ancestors would have been down the road at the C of E church, St John's, a very pretty church. Also what they all would think of their village being so popular once a year, and very different from their days. For a free event, apart from the £3.00 parking fee (which lasts all day, and in seasonal Dorset, very good value), even the musuem is free, it was a good day out. You don't have to be heavily into the Trades Unions, (although hubby is in one), or politically minded to enjoy the day, as it is such a pretty village (don't think it would be the same held in London), and something for everyone one there. It is an education of what else is around in life, something my daughter would not experience at school. We have attended in previous years, but think this year was the best, and of course the good weather helped. We will most likely go again next year if we can, and for those who have not visited the village before, try and do. Cheers from Sally in hot humid West London, which was heavily flooded last night, hubby had to walk home from work, as all main roads grid locked for hours!!!! How I wish we were still on our hols in Dorset..........

Pat - thank you for your email. Regret that I'm late in answering but I'm in the process of retiring from the Canadian Forces and have been extremely busy. I'm not sure about baptism details for your Frances Symes but I do have a Christian SYMES who married James Loveless in 1751 in Tolpuddle, Dorset. Will be in contact in a week or so after my final appointments for my release are finished.
