Dearest Tom,

                    You are truly amazing, what an incredible story and for you to prove it true, you are a man after my own heart.

So if I come over in late September and pick some acorns and bring them back to Sussex and grow some oak trees of my own, then it would but truly perpetuating his will. It rather shows what sort of man he was in doing such a thing in the midst of such brutality and carnage.

Such a meaning full gesture, God Bless him and thank you

                                      yours Katherine

Dear Tom,

                How can I thank you, reading that memorium just made me cry and cry.
         
                Then to see a picture of him, wonderful, many many thanks. When I came

                from my stint in our Hospice charity shop this afternoon, my husband Malc had

                printed out a large picture of him and left it on the dresser so I saw it when I walked in.

                Wow, it was like looking at my youngest son in sepia.

                Your very kind.

                I will order a copy of the book as well.

                You said enjoy, well I am going to frame his picture and put it on the wall with other

                family. Then we will not forget him. We will remember what he gave his life for.

                I will even go and find his grave, maybe even this year. We are very close to France

                and often go for the day to Brudge, so not that far to Arras.

                           Thank you again,

                              Regards Katherine

Wow John,
                  That is some history, it is going to take some time to get my poor old head round all that, I have read it a few times now, I'm getting there, I think I have read that piece you sent me, somewhere along the way.
Having only just started this research, it is wonderful to read yours and add it to mine.
Well we are related, but a while ago, but that matters not. So pleased to meet you. May I ask where you are in this wide world? it sounds as if your in Canada?
I gather from your info that Mealiffe was not owned by the Armstrong family? is this so ? Very interesting it was lost through none payment, that would be my great gradfather William Armstrong and his wife Catherine, she was a Ceely Maude who was the granddaughter of Viscount Hawarden. So there should have been some money, no wonder grandad married his daughter Cornelia off to a few titles and the like, one of her sisters married into the Dukes of Bedfords, I remember going for tea as a little girl, with the Duke and Great Auntie.
I remember the toilet had a crimson cover and the Coat of Arms was on it. Strange the things you remember as a child.
I have a strange upbringing, as my father never married my mother, but he took me away from her as he felt she was unfit to bring me up and he and Lady Everard (tried) to bring me up, but in the end they paid some one to foster me. Dad wanted to be a racing driver !!! and he did for a while.
But when Gran died when I was 13 he gave up on me, stopped the money. Things went down hill from then.
That is why I have never bothered with the family history before, but something strange happened and started me on this journey. Dad is still alive aged 87 he never married, no other children. Bit odd. He is, I mean.
Strange thing is, 28 years ago I found my mum's side, she died aged 51, never met her but she married and went on to have six children, I know them all and am close to 2 of them.

Life sure is strange.

                                Kind Regards and Many Thanks

                                                      Katherine (Cousin)

Dear Tom,

                  Many thanks for that, so kind of you. Have you finished your book? have you managed to publish it? what a fantastic achievement. I have always wanted to write books, but never had the time. Now I have the time and !!!! but I love the research.

                  One day soon I shall visit the museum in Tipperary, may be we could have a drink. My hubby and I get about quite a lot now he has retired.

                  That sounds a bit cheeky, hope your not offended.

                                    Kind Regards Katherine

Hello jb.nobel, very nice to meet you and many many thanks for the information.
Still trying to get my confused head round it all.

Found out a little more today, seems that my G G G grandfather was William Armstrong of Mealiffe and Chaffpool, his wife was Catherine, daughter of General Clark m.1888. and Rosealie Cornelia Ceely Maude.

My Grandmar was Cornelia Ione Kathleen Beresford-Armstrong later Lady Everard wife of Sir Lindsay Everard.

So where do you fit into the family, I would love to know. Would love to find relatives.

Hi All,
My name is Beresford Armstrong, my G grandfather was Marcus Beresford Armstrong Capt. of Moyaliffe Castle, His daughter Cornelia Ione Kathleen Beresford-Armstrong married Sir William Lindsay Everard, MP  JP   of Ratcliffe-on-the-Wreeke Leicestershire, where he owned an airdrome,
 Their son Patrick Anthoney William Beresford Armstrong Everard was my father, but he never married, not even my mother.

I would love to find out more about my ancestors out there. It sounds as if some of you are already in contact. I know nothing about the South Africa lot or the USA Florida crowd, any help would be fantastic.

I live on the south coast of England Pevensey Bay Sussex. I know they produced either men of the cloth or Army officers.

I would love to go back as far as possible, with this and will be delighted if any help is there.

Will visit Ireland again to see people and places, anything welcome. Pictures, photos, ect.

my given name is Diana Katherine Beresford-Everard- Bell ;D
