Medals awarded to Christmas Patterson for his service in the Royal Navy. Refer to research note for details (as supplied by Sid PATTERSON)

I think Christmas' would only have had the Sebastopol clasp

a copy of an original antique victorian Albumen photograph that I have uncovered. It shows Christmas Pattersons ship HMS Simoom in a Typhoon in the China sea off the coast of Formosa in 1861. This was taken from an oil painting of the event. At the time Christmas was serving on her she was serving as a troop ship and she had on board soldiers of the Ist 60th Rifles ( The Rifle Brigade ). From Sidney Patterson

From Sidney PATTERSON - The crew list for HMS Leander during the Crimean War where she served from 1854 to 1856. It shows medals awarded and you will note that Christmas is listed as an ( AB ) an able bodied seaman and is listed as Christopher Patterson the name he joined the Royal Navy under in an attempt to hide his past, and is shown right through his service records under this name, right up until he applied to join Her Majestys coast Guard in order to qualify for his pension and also the Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal and then he is shown as alias Christmas Patterson.

From Google Earth. This is Weston Street in Bermondsey where Ellen was living in 1911. Even though it seems unlikely, this street is a tunnel. There are entrances off the tunnel and it must go, covered, for 100's of meters. I don't know if Ellen lived in one of the 'houses'? in the tunnel or in an uncovered part of the street. There are a few 4 story places that would date back to well before ww1, but most of the street has been rebuilt. The other photo shows the entrance to the street

Polly died in one of the houses in this street. From Google maps.

The two men in the bowler hats were BLAKE'S.

Laura has written on the reverse that her grandfather is in the photo.

The mill is almost dead centre, off the northern end of Clay Road. Note that the railway station, as shown in the map, did not open until 1877, so was not there when the BLAKEs were.

Small world - In 1936 Thyra and Ted ELRICK, my Husband Alan's parents, were living in Beauty Point, Tasmania. In 1820 or so, my ancestor John PURCELL was born in George Town, on the opposite bank of the Tamar. He was the child of one of the soldiers sent to 'take care of' the convicts. John returned to England with his parents, having no further connection to Australia. Then in 1968 I married Alan, making what I think of as a circle of circumstances. One day my grandchildren may stand on one bank of the Tamar, look over to the other, and consider all the myriads of decisions and chance meetings that wove around the world that ended with 'them'. In my mind's eye I can see Madison on one shore, Sam on the other, at night, with torches. One torch shining into the other, symbolically closing the loop.

I say ended - but of course, life goes on and on and on. The possibilities are endless.

Little Brooke House is now a residential home for 20 elderly people.

Clement and his family lived in 106 Victoria Street in 1911. That is the second red brick house (white door 6-pane glass inset). These houses look on to a grassed area, and are only a few hundred yards from the where the mine was.

The one with the red door is #65. These houses were built as a set of 4. Each house has 1 bay window, and I would guess they would be 2 up 2 down floor plans. There are 2 other sets of 4 along the same side of the street, which is indeed a nice crescent shape.

This photograph was taken in Whitechapel in 1904. It was published, as part of a series ""Gilding the Gutter: An Account of the Lives of the Costermongers" in Pearson's Magazine (London edition) from January to June 1905". See research notes regarding the female journalist Olive Christian Malvery

Closed about 2008. There are some excerpts from the registers on the web for the period 1815. Worth looking for and reading

The church was originally dedicated to Blessed St Mary, probably changed when Henry VIII did a bit of reorganising. Mary sits above the door and I am sure was seen by this branch of the family often. The church is beautiful, and is enhanced if anything by the ruined tower. Photo downloaded from Flickr lordspudz. He has many more of the church and area, well worth a look.

The blue marker close to the top is All Saints Church. Google map sent by Suffolk History Society

Rachael was born, had her 7 children christened, and is buried here.
All Saints' church stands in a secluded setting, beside a 17th century moated farmhouse, at the end of a cul-de-sac. The churchyard is maintained by volunteers from the Suffolk Wildlife Trust as a wildlife sanctuary. The walls of the church are built of flint rubble, gathered from the fields. The layered masonry in the lower parts of the north wall shows that the core of the nave and chancel are over 900 years old.

Sale details over time - Charming and Historic Evandale Cottage

This quaint character cottage, situated behind a pretty hawthorn hedge in a wandering 'secret' garden and located in the centre of the popular heritage village of Evandale, provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in all the old world charm of the Georgian period.

In one of the most desirable positions in town, the land alone (1145m2 approx) makes for a sound investment.
The home has been tastefully updated, while maintaining the charisma of both Georgian and Victorian periods. Featuring a bull-nosed verandah, iron lace, stained glass, original cedar joinery, original fireplaces, polished floors and quirky attic rooms - the list goes on! Offering 3-4 bedrooms, large 2 way bathroom with claw-foot bath and decorative pressed metal surrounds, and potential separate guest accommodation with extra bathroom in the east wing and formal dining.

Peace after the storm - The vibrant blue green colours of the sky and sea make this window most attractive. The swooping sea gulls in the left panel, the waves lapping against the boat, and the curled sails blowing, give the scene movement. The moment is captured just as Jesus says “peace be still” to the raging storm. The Lord has been asleep in the boat. As the waves started to sink it, the disciples wake Him in fear. At His words the wind ceases, and there is a great calm.

The choice to portray this particular miracle, may be because it shows Jesus is Lord also over nature. It certainly frightened the disciples into asking each other “who is this that even the wind and sea obey him?”

This is a window in the church where Ellis and Mary were married. The explanation comes from http://ststephensnorwich.org/history, where more information on the history of the church can be found.

The area that touches the north side of the road is a war cemetery. Whilst I have not proof, the roads to the north of this look very much like that Tuning Fork mentioned as the location of the battery

by Henry Gales,drawing,1868

The church in which William married Susannah. I obtained the photo from http://www.jermy.org/photos/aylmerton-01.html, which is a splendid site deditcated to research into the Jermy Family. So far I have not found any connection between 'mine' and the Jermys.
* St John, Aylmerton (Grid Ref: TG 183 401)
* The church is a lofty 15th century building with a round tower which is probably Norman. Over the unusually tall porch is a priest's room which can be entered through its original 18 inch-wide ironbound door in the nave. Ref: Mee, A. 1972. The King's England - Norfolk.

This doc shows a planning application for Ynysgain Ganol. I am not certain this is Dorothea's house, as she said it had 15 rooms in 1911, but it is the only 'listed' building in the area. Also it does not look to be from Charles I's time. Interesting none the less

St Michael's is off the Cookley Road, more or less in the fields. There are 4 LINCOLN burials within this family, and one much earlier - Dorothy buried in 1736. I have a PDF book - The Manors of Suffolk Vol 2 by Copinger which covers the Hundreds of Blything and Bosmere and Claydon. It is an interesting read, and it can be downloaded from http://www.archive.org. Dorothy does not get a mention.

The three-bay house was built in 1766 as Cedar Lawn. It re-fronted with white stucco in the early 19th century. There are 2 Blue London Plaques, one says William CATTLEY, a Botanist 1788-1835 lived there and the other notes it was the Victoria Maternity Hospital. No mention of the 36 bed WW1 Military Hospital. It is now private apartments

Ellen and her family lived in one of these houses in 1881 (inferred from the address in the census)

They seem to have moved UP, as by 1891 the family lived here. Yes, this is (or at least was) one house. The entrance is on the far right on the other side of the blue car. Now surrounded by suburban development, but I expect it had a lot of land in 1891.

In 1851, William was with his mother and grandmother living in Pipe Office Lane (which is just to the right of The Rose of Bengal). William was much later the publican of the Jolly Crispin, which is just to the left.

Each archway is the entrance to 2 houses, with the 'front doors' facing each other. Number 13 is the cream coloured building, about a third of the way down, on the left hand side of the street. All the addresses listed for the DAUBER family from 1891 were all within a stone's throw, and all the houses were very similar

30 Victoria Street Wolverton is the one for sale

The closest house on the right, is number 30 Dudley Road, Grantham

This shows just how close to the hospital the family lived

number 9 is the one on the right. The family lived here for 50 years or so

From Google Earth. I think one or other of these is 102, but lack of street numbers on the houses prevent certainty. No matter, all the houses are exactly the same on the outside anyway. The houses are terraced. notice the aley way mouth on the right. This would give access to the back ally
