Family tree for you Newsletter

And Bygone Memories

August extra edition

We have been very busy this month with look-ups for new members Christine and myself have found a lot of different finds so we are very please with this last months work.

We have these two groups and also a dolls house group which we have started but not a lot on it at the moment its only because I have the hobby of dolls houses that this was started.

We enjoy doing the groups as it’s all-free for all our members but we also take on private people if they have any brick walls.

On the groups we talk about the past memories things our parents and grandparents used to tell us we go back in time and get really involved with all the stories that our members send in.I will try to tell you about the pit falls you get in Genealogy, which I myself did experience 32 years ago when I first started out with this hobby.

My auntie who was aged 75 and a sister of my late fathers phoned me one day and asked if I had ever wanted to do a family tree as its some thing that she had always wanted to do as a young girl but had never found the time with working I did say that I did not even know how to start to do this so she did say she had some names for me and would I look into it I did say ok at the time but then wished I had not.I went to my local library and collected as many books what I was allowed to borrow and took them home for weeks I was reading up about how to start your family tree and got really bored with all the reading I then decided to buy a computer for the shop that my husband and I ran The computer was installed and that night I went on the net and looked around it all looked so scary at first but then it started to sink in where and how I had to start so out came the pen and note book and started to make a small tree of names I knew .

I was never off the phone to auntie asking questions which she tried to tell me what she knew and as she spoke I was at the other end writing it all down some things did not fit in but I still jotted every thing down what she had said I enrolled at a local Mormon church just up the road from me where I booked a fiche reader and films I actually did not know what I was looking for at all but they did help me a lot so I went there for about 2 years but did not seem to be getting any further with my tree and then my auntie died suddenly so she would never know any out come in later years .

After about 2 years I did get all the names down and put them into order and had what looked like a family tree so I was

getting some where at last ,I then order the family tree magazine and used to read up on different things which helped me where to find things and where to go etc I had seemed to be doing this tree for a few years and came to lots of brick walls as we call it so I wrote to a researcher that used to write in the family tree magazine and asked for help to check out what I had done so far think on I had been doing this tree for nearly 4 years and was getting no where so I sent him all I had and a few weeks later he informed me that I had got the wrong family In my tree I had a Daniel Powell who was my gt gt granddad and my auntie had said he was from Wales so on that line I went in fact that was all wrong he was born in Kent in Woolwich so after a few months of putting it all straight and the help of the researcher I was on the right track ,So that was my first pitfall in genealogy .He told me that if you suddenly find that it does not look right its because you have the wrong person so from then on I learnt a lot from this man and he is still a good friend as well now after all these years now I know where to look and search.So please when first starting out don’t make the same mistake as I did.

EARLY DONCASTER

Doncaster began when the Romans built a fort in the area about 71 AD. The Romans called the fort Danum. However in the 4th century Roman civilisation declined and the last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD.

After the Romans left the Saxons invaded Eastern England. The Saxons called a Roman fort a ceaster. When they arrived in South Yorkshire they called this one Don ceaster. In time the name changed to Doncaster and they created a village nearby.

In the 12th century Doncaster grew into a busy town. In 1194 King Richard I gave Doncaster a charter (a document granting or confirming certain rights). In the Middle Ages Doncaster was a busy little market town although it would seem tiny to us. In 1204 Doncaster suffered a disastrous fire. In the Middle Ages most

buildings were of wood so fire was a constant hazard. On the other hand if buildings did burn they could be easily be replaced.

The street name gate is derived from the old Danish word 'gata' which meant street. In Medieval towns craftsmen of one type tended to live in the same street. Baxter is an old word for baker so Baxtergate in Doncaster was the baker's street. Frenchgate may be named after French speaking Normans who settled there.

In the 14th century friars arrived in Doncaster. The friars were like monks but instead of withdrawing from the world they went out to preach. In 1307 Franciscan friars arrived in Doncaster. They were called grey friars because of the colour of their costumes. Carmelites or white friars arrived in the middle of the 14th century.

During the 16th and 17th centuries the little market town of Doncaster continued to grow. This was despite outbreaks of plague in 1562, 1582, 1583, 1604 and 1606. Each time plague struck a significant part of the town's population perished but each time it recovered.

Doncaster gained a grammar school in 1575. However Doncaster suffered an outbreak of typhoid in 1700.

In the 18th century Doncaster was a coaching town. Many stagecoaches passed through Doncaster and there were many inns. Moreover the Mansion House in Doncaster was built in the years 1744-1750.

Doncaster gained its first theatre in 1776. Furthermore Doncaster is famous for horse racing. The St Ledger was first held in 1776.

In 1792 a dispensary opened where the poor could obtain free medicines.

MODERN DONCASTER

By 1831 Doncaster had a population of 10,000. Like all towns in those days it was dirty and unsanitary and many of the inhabitants lived in squalid and overcrowded conditions. However things improved in the late 19th century when sewers were built in Doncaster and a piped water supply was created. An infirmary opened in Doncaster in 1853. The first free public library in Doncaster opened in 1869.

A new Guildhall was built in 1847 and a Corn Exchange, where grain was bought and sold was built in 1873.Meanwhile the railway reached Doncaster in 1849. Railways meant the end of the stagecoaches but they brought new prosperity to the town. The first public library in Doncaster opened in 1869.

St Georges Church was rebuilt in 1858. It was designed by the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-1878).

In 1827 the Corporation decided to light the streets of Doncaster with gas. Doncaster gained electric light in 1899.

In 1853 the Great Northern Railway moved its engine building works from Boston to Doncaster. The engine works became the main employer in the town. In the late 19th and 20th centuries industry in Doncaster was dominated by engineering. Furthermore in the 20th century Doncaster became known for its butterscotch. In the 1970s 2 new shopping centres were built in Doncaster, the Frenchgate Centre (originally called the Arndale Centre) and the Waterdale Centre.

From 1902 electric trams ran in the streets of Doncaster. However trolleybuses replaced the trams in the years 1928-1931. The trolleybuses were in turn phased out in the years 1961-1963.

Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery opened in 1909. Elmfield Park opened in 1923.

In 1914 the Borough of Doncaster was extended to include Hexthorpe, Wheatley and Balby. The town grew rapidly in the early 20th century and by 1951 it had a population of 83,000.

Doncaster escaped relatively lightly during the Second World War although there was a serious attack in May 1941 when 2 parachute mines fell on the town.

Today the population of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough is 286,000

Durham last week in the 67th year of his age. The death of this liberal and enlightened divine is deeply lamented by all classes, more especially by the peasantry of North Northumberland. Dr. Gilly was the first person who sought to ameliorate the condition of the agricultural labourers in North Northumberland by calling the attention of landholders and the general public to the then miserable state of the cottage dwellings generally found upon the

estates in this district; and his benevolent suggestions have since been carried out with much spirit by the Duke of Northumberland and other large landowners. Dr. Gilly was also favourably known as the biographer of Felix Neff, the apostolic paster of the French Vaudois, and as a writer of several works on the Waldenses, a people to whom he was zealously attached, and to whose claims on the sympathy of the English Protestants he was the first to draw attention. He was the means of raising a large subscription on their behalf, by which a college and library at La Tour, in Piedmont, was founded and maintained. Up to the time of his last sickness Dr. Gilly was engaged raishing money for the extension of education among this interesting community. The canonry of Durham, which is of the annual value of about 1,800 l., will not, we beleive, be filled up. The living at Norham, which is of the value of 529 l. a year, is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Durham.

Be very, very quiet.... I'm hunting forebears.37. Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors!38. That's strange: half my ancestors are WOMEN!39. I'm not sick, I've just got fading genes.40. Genealogists live in the past lane.41. Cousins marrying cousins: Very tangled roots!42. Cousins marrying cousins: A non-branching family tree.43.

STRANGERS IN THE BOX

Come; look with me inside this drawer,In this box I've often seen,

At the pictures, black and white,Faces proud, still, serene.I wish I knew the people,

These strangers in the box,Their names and all their memories

Are lost among my socks.I wonder what their lives were like,

How did they spend their days?What about their special times?

I'll never know their ways.If only someone had taken time

To tell who, what, where, or when,These faces of my heritageWould come to life again.

Could this become the fate?Of the pictures we take today?

The faces and the memoriesSomeday to be passed away?

Make time to save your stories,Seize the opportunity when it knocks,Or someday you and yours could be

The strangers in the box.Anonymous Author

Grandma Climbed The Family Tree

There’s been a change in Grandma, we’ve noticed as of late

She’s always reading history, or jotting down some date.

She’s tracing back the family; we’ll all have pedigrees,

Grandma’s got a hobby; she’s Climbing Family Trees

....

Poor Grandpa does the cooking, and now, or so he states,

he even has to wash the cups and the dinner plates.Well, Grandma can’t be bothered; she’s busy as a

bee,Compiling genealogy for the Family Tree.

She has not time to baby-sit, the curtains are a fright.

No buttons left on Grandpa’s shirt, the flowerbed’s a sight.

She’s given up her club work, the serials on TV,The only thing she does nowadays is climbing the

Family Tree.

The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far.

Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR.

A monumental project - to that we all agree,A worthwhile avocation - to climb the Family Tree.

There were pioneers and patriots mixed with our kith and kin,

Who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through thick and thin.

But none more staunch than Grandma, whose eyes light up with glee,

Each time she finds a missing branch for the Family Tree.

To some it’s just a hobby; to Grandma it’s much more.

She learns the joys and heartaches of those who went before.

They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept -- and now for you and me,

They live again in spirit around the Family Tree.

At last she’s nearly finished, and we are each exposed.

Life will be the same again, this we all suppose.Grandma will cook and sew, serve crullers with our

tea.We’ll have her back, just as before that wretched

Family Tree.
