I have just picked up your message as I haven't been on the website for a long time. Where do you live in the Uk. We are in Brighton.

This is the same Lottie Camebus. She lived in Croydon . My husband John and family lived with her . Lottie was his Great Aunt. Do you have any other memories of her and her life . John remembers she used to wear a sari in the mid 1950's. Thank you .

Sussex / Gunn / Killick family in Brighton
« on: Wednesday 24 July 24 15:21 BST (UK)  »
Martha Gunn {nee Killick) is the famous dipper from Brighton. She was born in 1726 and died in 1815. A great age at that time . 2026 is the 300 year anniversary of her birth . We have set up a group to celebrate Martha and her band of bathers . Anyone related to this family want to join in ? We know she has descendants ll over the world ! We are hoping to raise money for a memorial and a celebration!

Glamorganshire / Re: NICHOLAS HIXON c 1758

Did you get any further with finding out about Nicholas Hixson? He was my Gr x 3 Grandfather . I have been trying to find out about him for many years, but nothing definite before his marriage in 1802 in Swansea. Someone said he was a smuggler as were later family members! The Dorset idea does seem a possibility. although our family myth is he was a sailor from the North of England.

World War One / Er Lee Royal Field Artillery "X" 31st Trench Mortar Bty
« on: Sunday 09 November 14 16:25 GMT (UK)  »
My husbands Great Uncle Er Lee from Ashton Under Lyne , Lancshire was killed on 31st October 1918. His mother received the telegram on Armistice day .  As by that time she was widowed, had lost a son as a young child and just had one older married son, she was alone.

We have found he is buried in Vichte Cemetery, Belgium (CWG records) . We are planning to visit the grave.


Where can we find out more about what happenend to him?. The records say he was in  Royal Field Artillery    "X" 31st Trench Mortar Bty and was a Gunner.

Thank you

bellou  :) :)
