Janice usually asks us to report to you our successes at the current holiday. Sometimes what you don't find is as important as what you do, so one of the things I did was to wade through 1/4 sessions records at Beverley to try to find my Joseph Chatterton, recusant ancestor who married in Hemingbrough in 1769. I did not find any Catholics let alone Joseph in the record book I saw.  There were an awful lot of people taken to court for not keeping up the roads which were full of potholes - what's new. So I am still looking for a clue as to the parish of Joseph's origin - or was he another Adam? Several of you followed the thread on my search for info on my great aunt Emily Lee (nee Chatterton) and were very helpful with ideas. The news of this front is very positive. I was able to meet with her granddaughter, Karolyne for the first time. We found the history of her hospital stay and were able to go to the Wakefield archives together where Karolyne read the hospital notes. She bought a photocopy which included a photo. She did not have a picture of her grandmother so this was special. Whilst Karolyne did this, I went to the deeds room and found the details of the transactions relating to the house where our g grandfather William Chatterton lived. The history of the property right back to when it was a green field was all there. Kath Webb at the Borthwick found Emily's death for us so we can get the certificate. Interestingly there was a family story of Emily lived for 40 years in a padded cell which I had dismissed as exaggeration but it turns out she was in hospital for 40 years. Unfortunately although she died in Naburn, we were not able to find her grave. She is not in Fulford cemetery where most of the Naburn burials took place. We wanted to lay some flowers. Her notes said there was an aunt with a similar health problem, so now - mission find the aunt! The 'find the aunt' mission rather took over, so I have not pursued the Kay family back any further. We think it was a Kay aunt rather than a Chatterton one, but of course a lot of people called aunty were not real aunts. As well as this - we had several visits to Bettys, a 1950s style tea party and a trip across the North York Moors on the top of a double decker bus to Whitby for fish 'n chips. Some brave souls climbed the steps to the abbey. Carol Meggit and I made our progress on the bus. We had lots of chat and lots of laughs and we learned lots (thanks Colin for being our onsite tutor).
