On the general question he says: “I do not defend the trade as an abstract question; but connected as it is with a complicated and widely extended system of both public and private interests, the remedy of the evil should be considered with reference to those interests. If on examination it should be found that these interests are likely to be materially affected, it becomes us not to be influenced by the consequences to Africa only, but to attend also to the consequences as they affect ourselves.”  Speaking of the state of slavery, he says, “However abhorrent it be to our minds, I contend, that it is not induced by the Slave Trade; that it is inseparable from the situation and circumstances of Africa, and cannot be cured by the abolition as proposed by the Bill; that it is the effect and not the cause of slavery in Africa; that we cannot practically carry into Africa the benefits of our ideas of humanity; and that we are, on a doubtful chance of this benefit, incurring a certain prospect of imminent danger to the property and lives of our own subjects. These are the points of my objection. I do not cherish the Slave Trade as a principle or a traffic suited to my mind or feelings, but I view the consequences of an alteration in the system as they regard ourselves on the one hand, and as they regard Africa on the other, and I am decided that the proposed remedy is worse than the disease.” Jane Charlottesville, VA .....

Hello Linda, Nice to hear from you. It has been a long time! I saw Justine last month - still talking about Hawnby ancestors! The Ryedale Family History Group would be interested to see that photograph. We could publish a copy of it in our quarterly journal, the "Ryedale Roots" so that all of our members can see it. I have just put some old Farndale photos on the website, http://www.ryedalefamilyhistory.org/peoplepics.pdf, so we could do similar with yours. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello Yorkins In World War II, once the Burma-Thailand Railway had been completed, many Prisoners of the Japanese were shipped en route to Japan to work in the mines over there. Many of the vessels carrying the POWs were destroyed by American warships... there was no marking, for example a red cross, to suggest the ships were carrying a human cargo. The US ships rescued as many men as they could. The following names are of the surviving British troops... there's a fair smattering of lads from Yorkshire. In some cases the next of kin is also named.

Died on the 25th of February in the barony of Ivereagh in the county of Kerry in Ireland in the 112th year of his age, Danial Bull Macarthy Esq. He had been married to five wives, he married the fifth who survives him when he was 84 and she 14 by whom he had twenty children, she bearing a child every year.

Oh My Goodness, Thirty one years! I was born and bred in Hessle and could see the Hessle tower from my bedroom window. I was in the crowd when the Queen officially opened the bridge on 17th July, holding my small son in my arms. My small son celebrated his thirty fourth birthday a few days ago. At last I have something up on Roy! Not only have I driven across the bridge, I have rode across on a bike and walked across on my two short legs <lol> I left the UK shortly after the bridge opened and have lived in Australia ever since, returning a couple of times and naturally visited the bridge!
