Dear Gillian The Church Society still exists and they have a website http://churchsociety.org/ so maybe you could contact them. Ulleskelf isn't in the Ainsty but in Barkston Ash, the same as Selby. It doesn't have a church so maybe they went to one in another village nearby or went to the chapel. Ryther is probably the closest as Barkston Ash is Catholic.

Dear all I have a photo of my Wheatley family taken around 1898 in Ulleskelf in the Ainsty. All the children have medals attached to their clothing the girls have three and the boys five. I have in my possession six of these identical medals in small boxes with my grandads name (Harold Wheatley) inscribed on the boxes. On the one side is written *"Ainsty Bishopthorpe & Selby Church Society Awarded for attendance"* on the other side *"Reward of Merit"* The medal was fabricated by *Allman London* The date I give is an assumption on how old my grandfather looks (born 9/8/1888) but it is definitely before 30th March 1901 as on the census they are all living in York. Has anyone any ideas on where to find out more about the Church Society and /or the medals. -- Gillian Cattell

Hello all, I posted this a few weeks back and wow did it cause a few ripples-! Thanks for those who responded. My friend, for whom I had taken on a search of his ancestry, was totally ignorant of his late father’s slight evasion. His father had been married previous to marrying his mother. The problem was the divorce from his first wife had not come through when he married his second in 1948. My friends mother is still alive and thought it quite amusing. Clearly she knew about it and had thought her husband had told his son about the first marriage, which he hadn't. Consequently this produced the ‘double’ marriage registration 1948 and 1950. As a side to this revelation my friend found out that he has a step sister. Then I came across another ‘double marriage’ puzzle, this time amongst my own Gatenby research. I have been researching the Yorkshire name of Gatenby for 20+ years with over 2500 records, amongst which I had a marriage of a William Gatenby to Ann Blackburn in Kirby Hill near Boroughbridge in1823. This record had been known to me for several years where William moved around Yorkshire serving as a Baptist minister. Last month I came across another marriage of a William Gatenby to Anne Blackburn in Leeds 1822, including a view of the church record. At first I thought they must be the same couple, i.e. identical names, but wondered again why they would marry twice. However after a thorough search of my records I realised it wasn’t the same couple. I had a record of a William and Ann, marriage about 1822 (based of children ages in 1841 census) location Bradford, but no surname of Ann and no marriage record. The parish record image has his occupation as a wool sorter so clearly a different William. So now I had their marriage record and the answer to this puzzle. The moral of this story is don’t assume anything, even when the facts looks quite feasible to accept. The second William died before 1830 and Anne re-married, but oddly she is recorded as a Spinster on this record despite having 3 Gatenby children in the house-!

Published in Victoria Times Colonist from Jan. 17 to Jan. 18, 2015 - Photo with obit BRAYSHAW, Timothy Chris BA, MA, PhD, Botanist Born July 2, 1919. Died December 22, 2014, age 95, in his sleep. We are honoured to share the story of a remarkable British Columbian and celebrate his life. Chris was born in Yorkshire, England, and came to Canada with his parents at the age of one. They homesteaded on a farm in Vernon BC where he grew up in a unique house that still stands today. His father taught at the local school and sold farm vegetables and fruit. He was a renowned fly fisher and fish artist and his love of nature rubbed off on young Chris. His mother had studied botany at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and she was a respected botanical artist. Chris was their only child and, as he often mentioned, the last of a long North-Yorkshire lineage. Much to his displeasure, Chris was sent to boarding school in England for his high school years. He returned home and enrolled at the University of British Columbia to train as a geologist just before the war, a field of knowledge that fascinated him. To his disappointment, he was instead put into biology. At the outbreak of WWII in 1939, Chris enlisted in the Canadian Air Force in Toronto, was sent to Quebec and then to High River AB, at the (just opened) Empire Flying Training School for Navigator and Bombardier training. Seconded to the RAF in England, he served as navigator for coastal defence and U-boat hunting along the Irish coast, where he had many close calls. For his service he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. Chris completed his BA in biology after the war at UBC, and then went to the University of Saskatchewan, where he earned an MA on 'Prairie Grassland Research' in 1950. From there he returned to UBC, where, in 1954, Chris earned his doctorate, defending his dissertation on 'Ponderosa Pine Ecology'. He was one of a several distinguished botanists who were learning together at UBC at the time, and with his colleagues he began a transformation of our understanding of British Columbia's plants and ecosystems. Joining the Federal Government in 1954, Chris ended up working in Ottawa and nearby Chalk River. His health deteriorated for a while so he adopted the credo that nature is humankind's best medicine. Chalk River is set near extensive forests, hills, and numerous lakes, rich in native wildlife typical of the south edge of the Canadian Shield. Always returning to nature, Chris made numerous field trips, taking extensive notes, and making many excursions into the wilderness of Algonquin Park and his health rapidly improved. Mindful of his love for the outdoors and his health, Chris declined a promotion in Ottawa. In his own words, Chris "had a canoe, a VW beetle, and some money", and decided to return to BC. He joined the BC Provincial Museum at the Legislative Buildings as a botanist in 1963, his "perfect job". For the next forty years he served our province advancing and promoting knowledge of plants. He prepared for the move of the collections and facilities from the Legislature to the current site. He wrote several seminal books that he exquisitely illustrated as a true nature artist and son of his mother. He helped plan and develop the new facilities and exhibits, now so famous around the world. His VW Beetle, with canoe on top, traveled our province adding thousands of specimens to the botanical collections. One of his major achievements was the planning and establishment of the first major Native Plant Garden in western Canada on the grounds surrounding the museum buildings. For the garden, he collected hundreds of living plant specimens around BC, some of which live in the garden today. He loved doing research on native species and tackled botanically challenging plant groups including willows and aquatic plants. At the same time he promoted the field of botany, leading public tours and writing a widely used booklet on plant collecting for the amateur. He broadened his knowledge of plants through trips to exotic lands. As Curator Emeritus, his botanical contributions continued for 18 years beyond his retirement with the publication of even more books, including the comprehensive and richly self-illustrated 'Trees and Shrubs of BC'. He was a passionate supporter and botanical advisor of Beacon Hill Park and the Friends of Beacon Hill Park Society. He was a prime contributor to the living and natural values of the Beacon Hill Park Official Management Plan. The Park's nationally important flora survives in great part due to his persistent efforts. Chris never married, but was proud of his family tree and heritage rooted in the landscapes of Giggleswick, in the Craven District of North Yorkshire. His true love was taking his canoe on top of his VW beetle to some lake and spending time collecting plants, fly fishing, and cooking his fresh-caught fish over an open fire. In August 2011, Chris moved into Douglas Care Community on Niagara St. in the block next to his beloved Beacon Hill Park. Mary Lou Florian and Helen Oldershaw, long-time friends and Chris' Health-Care Representatives, would like to thank the staff for their considerate care of, and friendship toward, Chris during his stay at Douglas Care. Chris had the unique gift of being scientifically aware of the intricacies of nature, yet able to engage ordinary folks with the wonders and surprises of our natural world. He inspired and educated generations of botanists and naturalists. Yet, this gifted man remained humble and unassuming. His legacy will endure long into the future. The people who met and knew Chris will miss him. logo No relation, passed for list info only --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

Further to yesterdays Obit, this write up & a large photo appeared in today's publication of the Victoria Times Colonist Author Lindsay KINES Times Colonist A long life dedicated to serving the public <javascript:;><javascript:;> For most people, retirement is a time to wind down, kick back and take things a bit slower. But Maurice Chazottes was just getting started when, in 1985, he stepped back from a long and varied career as a journalist, civil servant and B.C.’s first chief of Hansard. Chazottes, who died from kidney disease on Jan. 2 at the age of 89, had immediately moved into municipal politics, sitting on North Saanich council and serving one three-year term as mayor. “He was always a gentleman, which people might think is a normal thing to say,” said former Saanich mayor Frank Leonard. “But, actually, it’s not so true in politics. “He wasn’t really a politician; he was an effective leader and mayor, but he wasn’t getting his elbows up trying to get his way.” Linda Michaluk, who was mayor of North Saanich when Chazottes served as a councillor, remembered him as someone committed to the community. “He felt it was important to be involved and, rather than, as many are wont to do, sit and complain, to actually get involved and get something done,” she said. “He was one who was quite happy to sit and chat and contemplate, but he felt that that needed to be followed up with action.” After Chazottes moved to Saanich, the municipality recruited him to serve on the police board and the B.C. Association of Police Boards. He also sat on the Greater Victoria Public Library board and chaired the Capital Regional District’s parks public advisory group.His work on that committee was considered instrumental in obtaining support for a regional parks land-acquisition fund that led to the protection of thousands of hectares. For that, Chazottes received an EcoStar Community Environmental Award, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal for “outstanding contributions to the region through public service, most notably his work related to the protection of natural areas.”Daphne, his wife of 67 years, said his passion for the natural environment began in his native England, where he was a boy scout in his youth. Later, he became a scout leader in Ontario, where he and Daphne immigrated with their young family in 1957. “We’d go out as a family and hike along the Bruce Trail and Niagara Escarpment,” daughter Louise, recalled. “He always seemed to enjoy doing those things outside, even when we moved out here [to Victoria], we’d go out to different beaches and hike and that kind of thing.” Born in Harrogate, England, to French-speaking parents, Chazottes worked as a journalist for newspapers and magazines before immigrating to Canada. He was a senior editor at Maclean Hunter Ltd. and helped launch the Medical Post, a professional medical journal. After coming to Victoria in 1971, he became the first chief of Hansard, the official report of debates in the B.C. legislature, before moving on to other senior positions within government, including executive director of government information services. Chazottes told the Times Colonist in 1998 that he and Daphne moved to Victoria after falling in love with the city while on vacation. “The best thing we ever did was emigrate from England in 1957,” he said. “The second best thing was to move to Victoria.” Chazottes is survived by Daphne, his children, Delphine, Julian Paul and Louise, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A private gathering for friends and family will be held at a later date.

Published in The Times Colonist, Victoria, B.C. from Jan. 10 to Jan. 11, 2015 - Photo with Obit. Maurice Chazottes (April 09, 1925 - January 02, 2015) Obituary It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maurice Chazottes from kidney disease in Victoria. Maurice was born in Harrogate, England to French-speaking parents. He entered journalism in 1945, first in weekly and daily newspapers and later in national magazines. Maurice immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his wife Daphne and their two older children, where he became a senior editor with Maclean-Hunter in Toronto and helped to launch the Medical Post. In 1971, Maurice and Daphne visited the west coast and within three months had moved to Victoria. Maurice became BC's Chief of Hansard, and later worked in public communications with the Ministry of Health and Government Information Services. After his retirement in 1985, Maurice served as councillor and then mayor for North Saanich. In 2013, Maurice was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Medal for his many public service contributions. Maurice will be fondly remembered for his quick wit, extensive knowledge of random facts, and love of nature, travel and cats. He will be sadly missed by his wife of 67 years, Daphne, and his three children, Delphine (Doug), Julian Paul (Deni), Louise (Paul), his grandchildren, Michael, Ryan, Paul (Claire), Aaron, Jordan, Jenessa, and his three great-grandchildren, Reid, Louise and Ramona.
