52 ancestors Week 41 (Oct. 7-13): Newest

 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.

2021 Week 1 (Jan. 1-10): Beginnings – Contact with new cousin S.

  Following on from doing this in 2020 and not finishing it until last minute due to losing all my photos and documents and losing interest in doing it, I have decided I am going to take part again this year with or without photos and regardless of any problems I may face. Week 1 (Jan. 1-10): Beginnings – Contact with new cousin S As this this the 1 st week of 2021 it could be used as the “beginnings” theme, but I’m not going that way, I am going a totally different direction. A few days before the end of 2020 a lady had posted a photo in a family history group that I belong to (from where one line of my ancestors lived). She had added a comment that her Grandmother was the lady on the end of the row and gave her Grandmothers name, the same as my ancestors of the area. I commented on the photo that we could be distantly related as I am related to people of her Grandmother’s surname. The lady replied and asked if I had her Grandmother in my tree, I said I did. She sent me a privat

Week 4 – Close to home (Jan 22-28)

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 ”
