 Week 41 (Oct. 7-13): Newest

From Amy Johnson-Crow - Who is the "newest" ancestor you've found? Most recent immigrant? Newest discovery you've made?

For the theme of “Newest” I have decided to go with the “newest” piece of information I have found. That is linked to a slightly distant relative (but of direct maternal lineage) my 2nd cousin 4times removed Charles William Haylock, and his wife Julia Burton.

Charles was born in 1862 in Great Thurlow, Suffolk, he was the youngest known child and only son of William Haylock and Mary Anne Coote Smith.

During the first lockdown of 2020 my laptop crashed and I lost everything. This meant that I have had to start searching for information again linked to many people, but as I’ve been doing it I have re-checked other people, and Charles William Haylock has been one of those.

The “newest” information linked to him is that not only did he make beer, he was also landlord of one of the pubs in the village he lived for many years, and his wife took over after he died. The pub in question was the Queens Head in Great Thurlow. This doesn’t exist anymore and is now houses, a lady who responded to me asking in a family history group of the area actually lives in the house where the pub used to be. She has said she will send me a picture of the old pub.

The Queens head closed in 1920 and just 2 years later Charles died. According to people of the family history group his wife Julia became the landlady of the pub down the road the Rose & Crown.


The above image has been taken from the CAMRA website and shows Charles and Julia from 1900-1937. The Rose & Crown also only goes to these dates so nothing more on Julia as landlady there.

Week 4 – Close to home (Jan 22-28)

Image
From AJC This may not be everyone’s take on the them but it’s mine. As I’ve already stated I now live in Cumbria, more precisely the very west coast of Cumbria (well 1mile from the coast but close enough). This is what ignited my thoughts for the theme of “closer to home”. Before I go into things linked to the theme, I need to add some history – the Lackey family originally came from Scotland and were under the name of MacGregor, however due to bad behaviour they were banished from Scotland and sent to Ireland where they lost the MacGregor name and became Lackey’s (it means slave). After my line of the family left Ireland they moved to Durham, and from here they met and married families from Yorkshire and moved further afield. I live in Whitehaven, and on a (very) clear day you can see parts of Ireland from the Whitehaven Harbour, I haven’t yet seen it but it is said you can via the telescopes up on the cliffs and in the museum. I believe it is about 80miles in a direct lin...

Week 3 – Long Line (Jan 15-21)

Image
Is there a trait or an occupation that seems to have been in your family tree for generations? Is there a line in your genealogy that's been in a particular place for a long, long time? Maybe you have Long as a surname. Be creative! From AJC This topic has taken a bit of thinking of what to write about. My first thought was do I have anyone named “Long” in the tree that I could use (1 lady who is distant relative so not much use or info), I then thought about how “long” it has taken me to do research and such BUT that doesn’t fit with the long line theme, so thinking cap back on and I thought about the longest line of the family tree going back to whoever, but the little voice in my head says “wont most people use this?” I then thought about the Lackey family occupation as boot & shoemakers as a long line, but it wasn’t really that long, so I decide to look at photos for inspiration and that’s when it hit me – My parents wedding photo’s loads of them had a “ Long Line ” ...

52 ancestors Week 39 (Sept. 23-29): Should Be a Movie

  Week 39 (Sept. 23-29): Should Be a Movie From Amy Johnson-Crow - Good movies have good stories at their heart. What ancestor has a story that you think should be a movie? This hasn’t been an east theme for me, as people I thought of have been used for other things. So it has come down to someone that I think would “ make a good movie ” (and you will see why) and that is my Great Grandfather Arthur Linett/Linel/Lynes/Linneth Thompson. (his name changes per document). Arthur was born the 11 th December 1876 in South Runcton, Norfolk. He was 1 of 11 children his parents had. He was 2 nd from youngest. His parents were farmers and he kept this on during his life. In the photos I have of him, he is always well dressed and has a hat, a pipe, shirt, waistcoat and pocket watch, which don’t add to the farmer feel. To me it seems that he dressed up for photos to be taken, or he didn’t take an active role in the farming (which according to my Nan – Doreen, he did.) The last farm t...
