Cambridgeshire / Re: Hasell, Ware, Sizer people on html Tree!
« on: Wednesday 21 June 06 23:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi thanks for the reply, I have an Elizabeth Sizer in my tree.

My website was cut off last year I think as I've gone into business selling genealogy gifts - so probably not so appropriate to use free webhosting anymore! (I chose to quit genesconnected for a similar reason)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
Lot as happened since I posted above post but something is now really bugging me & puts doubt to part of the tree....

Elizabeth Hassel whom married Sampson  Ware in Boro Green, WHO were her parents !?! - I've always thought it was Richard Hassel & Philippa Collyn of Bottisham as they had a daughter called Elizabeth born in the same year as My Elizabeth Hasell of Bottisham....but I've recently been informed (on good authority) that Richard & Elizabeth's daughter 'died young' so our Elizabeth may well belong to another family member but who?

Cumberland / Re: Hasells of Dalmaine ?
« on: Tuesday 22 November 05 10:50 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the reply Louise I'll be in contact for any further info.

I've found out a few things since, such as Eva Hasell went to Canada/USA - I've seen a book on Amazon, I'll have to get, and another descentant Edward is a painter & has a Gallery in Suffolk.

The Blackcap name is interesting to know about as The "village locals" here in Somerset have been calling my mother that for years, in jest, as a reference to her nursing profession!

World War One / Crew Listing WW1 Submarines
« on: Thursday 03 November 05 05:24 GMT (UK)  »
A useful link to crew that served on AE1 & AE2 submarines that sailed from Portsmouth to Australia. The Crew were half UK & half Australian - so if you are missing a submariner from World War 1 - try here:

I'm looking into these families, so if you recognise anyone let me know as I'm searching for info & am sure to  have more info soon  ;D

Cumberland / Hasells of Dalmaine ?
« on: Wednesday 26 October 05 20:57 BST (UK)  »
History info I can't find on-line - suggestions ???
one branch of my Cambridge tree moved to Cumberland & lived in the Dalmaine Manor - what I'm trying to search for is info like : why did they move to Cumbria ?  It was about the times from Henry 8th to Cromwell times -was it safer the further north they went for gentry/religious reasons ?

Edward became Sheriff of Cumberland at one point - are there any records for things like that ?

I know very little UK history :o I've looked at British history on-line website & have seen a brief history of the house, but other social history website reccommendations or where to look for info on 16/17C appreciated.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Memorial Safety Meeting in Cambs
« on: Thursday 29 September 05 21:35 BST (UK)  »
There's another Cemetery up the road from me in Highbridge - had the same hazzard tape you write of. I remember loads of grave stone like this - I remember thinking that there must have been an accident/chemical leak covering the whole graveyard, whole place was "tidied up" with most of the higher stones turned to rubble & removed.

Some of the bigger "ancestry" type info brokers or lottery companies should set up a graveyard restoration/maintenance charity before they are all gone!

Cambridgeshire / Memorial Safety Meeting in Cambs
« on: Tuesday 27 September 05 20:15 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone going to this memorial safety meeting ? (article below)

It might be worth while for a family tree researcher to go along. I can't get there (I'm in Somerset) or I'd go myself to find out what they intend to do to the graveyards.  The council in Somerset laid flat/removed(destroyed) LOADS of graves when they implimented their health & safety policy in Sedgemoor...

ARTICLE:

Memorial Safety in Cemeteries (Cambridgeshire)

Memorials are erected at the head of graves as permanent reminders of those buried within.
Many people wrongly assume that memorials are permanent structures which are installed to high standards and therefore last forever without the need for any repair.

Unfortunately over recent years there have been a number of accidents in the United Kingdom caused by Memorials being unsafe, the accidents ranged from bruising and crush injuries to the fatality of a small child.

Cambridge City Council is working within the guidelines produced by the Institute of Cemetery and Cremation Managers (ICCM) and the Health & Safety Executive to ensure the memorials remain safe for the public visiting and those working in the cemetery.

Once memorials have been identified as posing a risk the City Council has to take action to reduce or eliminate the risk of injury based on a proper risk assessment, there are several options that can be employed depending upon the memorial and the risks. The Cemetery Officers will seek to trace relatives of the deceased to advise them of the action due to be taken prior to any testing and the responsibility of the relative to repair the memorial.

To provide further information on the Initiative the City Council has arranged an open day at Newmarket Road Cemetery on Sunday, October 2, 2005. Officers who manage the cemeteries will be available on the day together with a representative from the ICCM, an approved stonemason and a representative from the City Council insurers to provide information to the bereaved
and the public, and answer questions. The methods employed for testing the memorials will be demonstrated on the day, together with examples of remedial actions. The open day will be from 10am until 4pm adjacent to the Chapel.

If you have any questions relating to the open day or require further information but cannot attend, please contact a Cemetery Officer on 01954 780681.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Clearance of headstones at Upwell Baptist Church
« on: Tuesday 16 August 05 04:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi just read your post, that's awful! - Developers like that are scum. I hope people of Upwell (that give a dam) have written to their local MP & newspapers about it I recently visited 15 church gravegards in Cambridge/Suffolk looking for relatives graves, we never got to Upwell...

I've seen this kind of harsh treatment (with bulldozers) carried out before - about 10/15 years ago in Abney Park Cemetery (Hackney,London), I was shocked by the amount of rubble & crushed gravestones back then, I went back there recently & it's all looking okay now, with trees & pathways - so they couldn't have destroyed as much as it looked at the time.

It sounds like Upwell won't fair so well, I could have relatives burried there too  :'(

Oxfordshire / Re: Town called Breedin ? name : Brooke
« on: Friday 12 August 05 13:42 BST (UK)  »
thanks for the replies:)
I'm now thinking that it could either be a mispelling or different county maybe - as I've come accross such errors before - for example - the transriber may have put down Oxford, meaning Oxford, USA (possibly the transcribers location) or they may have only heard the name of the Village/town of "Breedin" through word of mouth/a family story  passed down- hence it crossed my mind that "Breed" "in" could be the way "Bridge" "End" is said - if you've heard it via a traditional Suffolk persons accent! (where Richard's wife came from & where he lived)
