| 18657 | Susan NUNN seems to have also used Susannah. Based on other information and despite age variations on census records, the Susan Nunn baptised 1842 in Dalham, Suffolk, married James WEBB in 1865 and lived in London for a time. They had children born both in Suffolk and London. Personal correspondence from Susan NUNN descendant Maggie Donovan follows: On Susan's Birth Certificate it says she was born in 1842, "at 4 of the morn, in the parish of Dalham and Gazeley." I know from my grandmother (who died in 1992, aged 99) that her father-in-law, James Webb (who married Susan NUNN) had a Boot and Shoe business in Warren Street. I remember her telling me that the family also had a farm in Suffolk but she didn?t know where it was. A manager was put in it so I don?t think that James ever ran it.

| 18677 | The Aberdeen Weekly Journal, Saturday, August 30, 1884 DEATH OF THE REV. ALEX. SILVER, DUNNOTAR.-Many will hear with regret of the death of the Rev. Alex. Silver, minister of Dunnottar, which occurred at the Manse there on Monday morning. Deceased had been in declining health for some time back, and quite recently he received a shock of paralysis, from the effects of which he never rallied. Mr Silver was a native of the parish of Dunnottar, having been born in 1804 at Mill of Uras, where his father carried on the business of miller, &c., for a good many years. He obtained his early education under his brother (the late Mr John Silver) at the old Parish School of Fetteresso, which was then situated at the Kirk Town. From thence he went to King's College, Aberdeen, where he completed his education and graduated with high honours as M.A. Subsequently Mr Silver acted as tutor in several gentlemen's families, and about the year 1830, his brother being accidentally killed (actually occurred in July 1829 and reported in Aberdeen Journal), he succeeded him as teacher of Fetteresso Parish School, carrying on the work with a considerable amount of success. Being of a sociable disposition, he entered into the amusements as well as the studies of the young people with great enthusiasm, and was exceedingly well liked by all his scholars. In 1844 the pastorate of Dunnottar Church was rendered vacant by the translation of the late Rev. Mr Irvine to Peterhead, the active duties of which he carried on with great acceptance down to about six years ago, when failing health compelled him to secure the services of an assistant. Of a sympathetic nature, he was ever ready to give consolation and assistance to those in distress. He had a most retentive memory, and was possess of a large fund of humour, and anecdote, and folk lore - qualities which made him a universal favourite in the district. He held the offices of chairman of the Parochial Board and School Board until advanced years compelled him to resign. He was vice-chairman of the Combination Poorhouse Board for the county, the assistance he gave at its institution proving very valuable. He also acted as actuary of the local savings bank* for many years, and took a great interest in its success. Mr Silver likewise held the office of prison chaplain until the closing of the county prison in 1878, and was able in that capacity to be a great deal of good. He was never married. Proceedings had been instituted by the Presbytery of Fordoun for the appointment of an assistant and successor to Mr Silver in room of the Rev. Robert Davison, who was translated to St Cyris a few weeks ago, the church having been preached vacant on Sunday; but in consequence of Mr Silver's demise, the proceedings will in terms of the regulation of the General Assembly have to be again de noso. *Inverbervie Savings Bank | SILVER, Alexander (I4230)

| 18681 | The Bath & Cheltenham Gazette, 19th March 1890 THE SUICIDE OF A WHEELCHAIRMAN - Mr. B. H. Watts, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest on Thursday on the body of Thomas Richard Cooper, wheelchairman, of 6 Henrietta Buildings, who drowned himself in the river at the back of his house, and whose body was recovered in about 24 hours. - Emily Cooper, widow, said her husband was 36 years of age. He came home between a quarter to nine and nine o?clock, and said that he had stayed out late in hopes of getting a job as there had been nothing doing. He went out and got some beer and provisions. When he returned he had his supper. He drank about half-a-pint. She put her eldest child to bed and deceased went up with her. He undressed and got into bed. He complained that she had not done some washing which he wanted. She told him she would go down and do it before going to bed. He was a little annoyed, but not very angry. There was no altercation. She went down to do the washing and he came down from three to five minutes afterwards. He had on his drawers, shirt, and undershirt. He asked her to come to bed, and she replied that she would when she had finished what she wanted to do. He picked up the lamp off the mantel piece and said he would throw it down if she did not come to bed. She noticed that he looked strange. She picked up the baby with the intention of going up to bed. He dashed the pipe from this mouth on the ground and said, "Good bye, I am going; goodbye." He had been to bed with the pipe. She put the baby on the sofa and rushed after him, but before she got into the yard he was in the river. She took a clothes prop, jumped down onto the bank and touched him with it. She begged him to take hold of it and come back to his little children, but he neither moved nor spoke. She called for help and her next door neighbour came instantly, but could do nothing as he had floated out of reach. She did not hear him make any noise after he had jumped into the water. Three years ago last September he threatened to commit suicide. Then he was not sober and seized a razor to cut his throat, and she snatched it out of his hand. He would give no reason why he would do it; they had had no dispute. He had served six years and five months in the army in India. She had not noticed anything strange in his manner lately. The children had been ill for some time, and deceased had been worried because work was slack. She denied having worried her husband or had any dispute with him. - The jury returned a verdict of suicide while temporarily insane. | COOPER, Thomas Richard (I7009)

| 18682 | THE British-India Company's steamship Merkara arrived at Port Alma on Saturday morning, and came to an anchor for the purpose of transhipping immigrants and cargo to the Taldora. The latter vessel, under the command of Captain Brand-and which, by the way, has suffered not the slightest injury from her recent accident at Sea Hill-left the wharf at five o'clock in the morning, conveying the Health Officer and a few other passen-gers and one tender. When the Taldora arrived at the Bay the Merkara could be seen in the offing about five miles off ; consequently there was no delay in getting alongside. Before going on board, Dr. Thurston hailed the medical officer of the Merkara, Dr. Collins, and enquired if there was any sickness on board. The reply was in the affirmative, and on enquiring the nature of the malady he was informed there were three cases of measles. Dr. Thurston hesitated about admitting the vessel to pratique, but Dr. Collins stated they had prevailed on board all down the coast, and there had been no difficulty at Townsville or the other ports. The doctor, however, went on board, and examined each individual case before he would allow any further direct communication between the two vessels, and finding the disease was in a very mild form, and that all the patients had been isolated, he allowed the vessel pratique, remarking that as a precedent had been established at Townsville and other ports, he did not care to undertake the responsibility of delaying the vessel. There were 160 tons of cargo to be transhipped for Rockhampton, and forty of these consisted of railway material. The work of slinging these consignments into the Taldora was necessarily slow, as not more than four or five could be slung at a time, The last was got on board about half-past six. There were 407 emigrants on board, twenty-eight of these being for Rockhampton. There was an extremely large number of Germans, and most of these being of the lower classes some difficulty had been experienced in some of the quarters in maintaining cleanliness. The immigrants for Rockhampton consisted mainly of single girls and married couples with young children. There were only three young men, which is rather fortunate, as previous to their arrival there were over one hundred persons in the depot. There had been no deaths during the whole voyage, and beyond the measles-which broke out soon after starting-those on board had been singularly free from sickness. There were two births. Captain Withers was in command of the Merkara, having left the Quetta after commanding her on several voyages to Queensland. The saloon passenger who is said to have attempted suicide soon after the vessel left Thursday Island was in custody. The passengers speak very highly of the rescue effected by Lieutenant - Colonel Wilahan, and it is certain that had the gallant officer not acted as he did the man must have lost his life. The following is a brief record of the voyage : The K.M.S. Merkara sailed from Gravesend at 1 a.m. on the 17th November, with a full complement of saloon passengers and emigrants. A S.W. gale was encountered in the Channel. After this fine weather was ex-perienced to Malta, where she arrived at 7:30 a.m. on the 26th. Received coal and fresh provisions, and sailed again at 5 p.m. same day. Reached Port Said at 6:35 a.m. on the 30th, and passed Suez at 11:45 a.m. on 2nd December. Arrived at Aden on the 7th at 2:55 p.m. ; received mails early the following morning, and proceeded at 5:25 a.m. Experienced fine weather across to Batavia, which port was reached at 1:30 a.m. on the 22nd. There she received coal and discharged cargo, under strict quarantine, and sailed again at 4:20 p.m. on the following day. Arrived at Thursday Island at 6 a.m. on the-1st January, and sailed same day at 1:30 p.m. Arrived at Cooktown at 7 a.m. on the 3rd; left at 2:45 p.m. same day. Reached Townsville at 4 p.m. on the following day, and sailed at 1 p.m. on the 6th. Arrived at Bowen at 1 a.m. on the 7th, and left at 2 a.m., reaching Flat-top Island at 1:40 p.m.; left at 3:40 p.m., and arrived at Port Alma at ll a.m. on the 8th.

| 18684 | THE D'OYLY CARTE OPERA COMPANY Fred Storey (1891-92) Born London 20 Jun 1861, died Blockley, Worcestershire 4 Dec 1917 Fred Storey made his first appearance on stage in 1877 at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, as a boy in To Parents and Guardians. After several seasons touring and in London in comedy, light opera, and pantomime, Story earned a reputation as an eccentric dancer, making his mark in the pantomime Mother Goose. He tried his hand, and failed, at theatrical management in the provinces, then tried a new career as a scene painter for Indiana (comic opera, Avenue, 1886) and was a success. He often returned to the stage, however, and spent a few years with the Gaiety Company in Miss Esmeralda (1887-88), and Ruy Blas (1889), as well as appearing on a Gaiety tour of Australia in 1890. Storey's only engagement with the D'Oyly Carte came at the Savoy late in the run of The Nautch Girl. He replaced Frank Wyatt as Baboo Curree from December 1891 until the opera closed the following month. He would later go on to a successful appearance as Rip Van Winkle in the ballet of that name at the Alhambra in 1900, painting most of the scenery for that production as well. After that he did more scene painting, some pantomime work, and appeared in a number of straight plays. His last appearances in London were at the Royalty as the title character in Rip Van Winkle and as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, for which he also painted the scenery (both February 1908).

A STRANGE CASE Curtis E.Stannard, of Alexander Road, Chiswick, was summoned by Kate Stannard for neglect to maintain. The complainant said she and her husband were still living together. There were no children. He had not given her anything for weeks. She produced a list of payments since Whitsun. He had twice given her 5s. and taken it back. Witness had lived on plain bread and what her friends had given her. Her husband bought small quantities of food and paid for the gas and lighting. He had not given her the household money direct for the last two years. He was a tailor's cutter, and she believed he was in regular work. He went out daily. He had never allowed her to know his earnings. At week-ends he bought food for himself only. Defendant, on oath, alleged that his wife was unable to do the household shopping, as she spent the money unwisely. She had been under medical treatment for some years, and he thought it best to do the shopping himself. He had been keeping the home going and allowed his wife 6s. or 7s. a week. The husband gave his weekly earnings as £3 6s. The Bench decided to make an order for £1 a week, to take effect when the wife left her husband's address. | NUNN, Kate (I9079)

The examination of Edwin Keight, clerk to the clerk of the guardians of the West Ham Poor Law Union, in the county of Essex, touching the place of the last legal settlement of the said Jane Buss aged 31 years and her 2 children; i.e., Jennie aged 3 years and Bertha agreed one year taken upon oath before us, two of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, acting together in and for the said county of Essex, at Stratford Police Court, in the said County of Essex this 31st day of December 1896, upon the application of the Guardians of the Poor of the said West Ham Poor Law Union etc, that the said Jane Buss and 2 children have come to inhabit and are now inhabiting in the said union (not having gained a legal settlement therein, nor become irremovable by residence, nor produced a certificate acknowledging a settle elsewhere) and have become actually chargeable to, and now receiving relief from the said union. And I have been informed that the said Jane Buss is the lawful wife of George Alfred Buss. That prior to February 1893 the said George Alfred Buss resided for the term of three years at 131 Green Street in the Parish, Hamlet, or township of St Matthew, Bethnal Green, in such manner, and under such circumstances, in each of such years, as would in accordance with the several statutes in that behalf, render him irremovable and settled therein. Signed Edwin Keight. 45 Chandon Road, Leytonstone, Stratford, March 25th 1897 Sir, I saw Mr Vallance about the register the evening of the day you called but was told it was not in his district. He referred me to Westbury Road, Forest Gate, it was (missing words?)Note, because the digital record has letter overlaid, it appears this letter continues on a different page thus: too late for that night and have not had an opportunity until this week when I went and was referred to West Ham Union. There I found no entry and it being an offence against the law, it concerns them if they think proper to move it int. I suppose they will, but I shall not take it up as I really have not time. I was there told Mrs Buss and her youngest child had been removed to Bethnal Green Union, the other child Millership has taken. He has also written to one of the officials of West Ham acknowledging the parentage of the two children and wishes Mrs Buss to go and live with him again, but she refused under those circumstances. You will have no difficulty in making him contribute to the support of the other child. I am glad it has ended so, it has been a great worry to me. I wrote to Mrs Bass telling her to alter the names but am told it has not been done. I am Sir, Yours Faithfully, L.A.Buss. Note that L.A.Buss is George Buss's mother Louisa with whom George's children Elsie and Arthur are found in census records. B.l? Schools, Leytonstone, 26.3.97 Dear Sir, I thank you for the information that Mrs Buss' illegitimate children have only a claim on their mother's maiden name. To my astonishment I received a communication from Mrs Millership this morning, urging me to help Mrs B. and telling me she had been removed to B.l? and that she had taken the elder of the two children into her home. She tells me she is a cert. teacher. She also says that Mrs B is to appear at Worship Street to prove that her husband is father to the two children, and that she says she will die rather than appear. She says her husband is at home now for the first time since 1891, and that she has spent many years of misery as his wife. I can but pity her. I will write her friends and induce them to help (I mean Mrs B's) and will help with some clothes if she can get a situation, perhaps she may begin now a better life. B. L. School Leytonstone 27.3.97 Dear Sir. Since I wrote you yesterday I have been informed of what my mother* has discovered etc and under the circumstances I must withdraw my promise of help in clothes.

Missing words at start of this letter. as Dr Snell's assistant and I was often obliged to go to the surgery in Green Street to get a little money which many times he did not send me any. I had no idea that he was intimate with anyone - or - I should have at once made myself known to Mrs Snell, for I know both Dr and Mrs Snell, and their eldest son well by sight and feel sure they would have prevented anything of that sort happening if possible. I beg you will pardon my long letter and be kind enough to let me know whether you can send for the child - or whether I must send her. Anxiously awaiting a reply. Believe me. Faithfully yours Alice Millership. Westerham Hill Stores, Westerham Hill, Kent. Dec 15th, 1899 Dear Sir, I have talked the matter over with my master and mistress concerning my little girl, and they have kindly offered her a home her with me. without their help I could not keep her as my wages are so low. But I will do my best for her. When her father took her from me he promised to keep her and Mrs Millership wrote and told me she would bring her up with her own little girl. I cannot understand when she got tired of her she did write to the B.G Union for my address. I should not like her sent to the schools. But it is such a long journey from her. I cannot afford it. it is 8 1/2 miles from Bromley Station. I am sorry to trouble you so much but should be pleased to hear what you think I had better do. An early reply will oblige. Yours truly, J.Buss. B.l. School, Leytonstone Sir, I have been informed that the Mr Millership you seek is living at 602 Leytonstone Rd, and on looking I find his name posted up thus: Millership & son, Warehouse. The house is a very nice one & I am sure must be rented at something like £60 or £70 per annum, & is not far from the school. (B.G.S). If this is really the man, he must certainly be deceiving to plead poverty as I hear he has done to the mother of his illegitimate children. Have also heard that she hears from him from that address, and Mrs Buss sent for him from there when their child was supposed to be dying. Yours respectfully L.A.E. Buss | AVIS, Jane (I1429)

| 18695 | The following is an extract from a report in The Courier-Mail of Wednesday, February 6, 1991 about Desmond Holland's murder: A TAXI driver may hold a clue to the baffling murder of Ipswich council worker Desmond Holland, who was found strangled in his bathtub on January 22. Police are seeking the taxi driver who was believed to have picked up the 62-year-old man from Prince Alfred Hotel at Booval on Saturday, January 19. Desmond "Slim" Holland's body was was found three days later, submerged in water in the bathtub of his Dinmore home. Det Sgt Ian Claridge, of the homicide squad, also appealed to the "hundreds of people" who were at the hotel on the 19th to come forward. "Our next breakthrough could all depend what response we get from people who were at the pub that Saturday," he said. "Someone in the hotel that day may just have seen something which they do not realise could be vital to our inquiries. "Even if they were there and think they did not see Mr Holland we still want to hear from them. "There could have been hundreds of people in the hotel that day - we would be very pleased to hear from every one of them." He said a reward of up to $1000 had been arranged through Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible. "If people contact Crime Stoppers their name will not be requested and rewards are paid anonymously in cash." THE FOLLOWING appeared in The Courier-Mail on Saturday, January 26, 1991: A NEIGHBOR heard thumping and loud music and saw lights on about the time a council laborer might have been murdered in his home near Ipswich, police said yesterday. Another neighbor noticed all windows of the small house closed for the first time in at least 11 years. The partially clad body of Desmond James Holland, 62, was found in a bath half-filled with water at his home in River Rd, Dinmore, on Tuesday. Chief investigator Det-Insp Wayne King said Mr Holland could have been dead for three days. A postmortem examination revealed Mr Holland died from a combination of strangulation and drowning. Police appealed for help yesterday to trace Mr Holland's last movements. They said Mr Holland was well known in the area and might have been seen going home with someone the day before his death. Neighbors told police they had never known Mr Holland to close the windows of his home. He lived quietly, never stayed up late and was never heard to play music loudly. Insp King said Mr Holland was last seen at the Prince Alfred Hotel, Booval, on Friday, January 18. He went to the hotel every day. Insp King said Mr Holland always wore a distinctive hat and carried a special bag for shopping or to take home his beer. | HOLLAND, Desmond James (I1006)

| 18697 | The following letters were written in response to the accidental death of BK1257 Alfred Nunn, son of Abraham Nunn. The Napoleon Nunn mentioned appears to be the base child of a Naomi Nunn, daughter of John Nunn and Sarah (Sally) Silverstone. There is no relationship yet established between the two Nunn boys although a family connection seems highly likely. This letter published in the Bury and Norwich Post, and East Anglian, November 29, 1843, was in response to one published earlier regarding Alfred Nunn's accidental death. Alleged ignorance at Chevington and Whepstead. To the editor. Sir, - Will you oblige me by inserting if your next paper the following statement, which I trust will be found a sufficient answer to the letter of "One of the Jury," on the inquest upon the body of Alfred Nunn, appearing in your last. Napoleon Nunn, who occasioned the death of Alfred, is not a son of poor parents; he has been brought up by his grandfather, until lately an occupier of a farm of above hundred acres in Chevington, and never was an object for admission into a Charity School. Abraham, the father of Alfred, has had seven children, of whom six have been taught to read, and received religious instruction in my schools; the remaining one is afflicted and incapable of learning. All poor parents in the parish have the opportunity offered them of placing their children, at the age of seven, in the day-school, where they may remain at least three years, and be thence transferred to the Sunday School, where they are allowed to continue till the age of fifteen, or more: the object of the Sunday School being chiefly religious instruction; and, although the parents are often compelled to put their boys to work at a very early age, and, I grieve more to say, that there are some that neglect or refuse to send their children to school, who consequently grow up ignorant and vicious; yet, I believe that the number taught, about sixty, is quite equal in proportion to that prevailing in other places; the schools are supported by me and members of my family, without assistance from any endowment or Society. The other two boys, Henry and Arthur Wittam, who were examined on the inquest, aged thirteen and ten, live in Whepstead, and belong to the Sunday School there; but being at a great distance from the church, and often necessarily employed on the Sunday in the care of stock, &c., their attendance has been very irregular, and they have but little knowledge of their catechisms; the eldest, however, can read the Testament decently, and has a distinct knowledge of retribution hereafter; and stated that his parents always instructed him so. It cannont, therefore, be said, that these boys "have not the remote idea of a future state." Your obedient servant, John White, Chevington Rectory, Nov.24, 1843. The offending letter follows: Bury and Norwich Post 22 November 1843 Ignorance of the peasantry. To the Editor. Sir, - You will no doubt report in your columns of this week the result of an inquest held at the Suffolk Hospital on Wednesday last. The fact are simple these: that one boy carelessly caused the death of another boy by a gun-shot wound. But the grave and important question, is the worse than gothic ignorance in which the rustic population of Whepstead and Chevington appear to exist. The coroner in his charge was justifiably severe in describing the absence of all moral instruction, were removded but by a slight degree from the position of a savage state. One lad, the principal in the accident, acknowledge that he did not know the Lord's Prayer; that he had no knowledge of the name of the clergyman of the parish, and, in fact, that he knew nothing of responsibility with respect to good or evil. The two other lads stated they belonged to the Sunday School; they knew the Lord's Prayer, but had not the most remote idea of a future state. And is this the education of the people, for which so much money is paid? If it is, look at the result; one harmless lad is hurried into eternity, and the innocent cause of it. untutored and uninstructed, knows nothing of the responsibility of hastening his companion to another world. But are the clergy, the paid educators of the people, wholly blameless? Was the rector or curate of these villages wholly ignorant of the existence of these boys, or were they negligent in endeavouring to lead their minds and cultivate them to the pursuit of virtue, or leaving them in reckless idleness to tread the path of infamy and crime? Sir, we frequently marvel at the spread of crime in the rural districts, at incendiarism, and acts of violence; but when we see the germ of human intellect thus untutored, neglected, and even crushed, - can we wonder that the mind, thus brutalized, its energies cramped and contracted, should in the moment of supposed or real injuries rush to the perpetration of wild and savage revenge? Yet when any plan of educating the people is proposed, it is generally met with all the fury of orthodox resentment? Take this instance of proof of the careful teaching of the rustic population, and it there is a feeling of moral reflection amongst your readers, they will in unison with me blush to think, tt\hat within a range of six miles from a town like Bury, with a church in the village, and, I dare say, a tolerable benefice, that human beings should be found, whose ignorance, as far as Christianity and morality are concerned, would disgrace the savages of the wild, or the Hindoo worshippers in India. Yours respectfully, One of the Jury. [We insert this letter for the lamentable facts which it relates, but not admitting the justice of all its inferences. Unless a minister had the power of compelling the people to come, and send their children to be instructed, there may be instances of such ignorance as is here described, in spite of all the efforts of the most faithful pastor. - ED.] Copyright British Library Board | NUNN, Abraham (I22)

| 18698 | The following verse is found in the Cooper family Bible. Its origin is unknown and there are no matching internet searches. It may even be that Eleanor wrote this herself, or else recalled the verse from her childhood back in Wales. Whatever the truth, it is the prayer of someone who loved Jesus. Hold Thou Me Up Hold thou me up whenever the way is hidden And clouds hang darkly in the sky above When wild misgivings come to me unbidden O Father hold me closely in thy love Hold thou me up, when my weak heart is failing Before the troubles of the way I take Make me to feel that thou will all prevailing That thou wilt succour me for Jesus sake Hold thou me up under each new temptation Lest I should fall beneath is subtle power You, who art ever near, be my salvation My rock, my fortress, in the trying hour Hold thou me up till I in death and sleeping Till I am far from danger, safe and free In that fair land, where in thy gracious keeping And I for evermore with thee. | EVANS, Eleanor (I1360)

| 18699 | The following written by his son Cecil, describes Harry Westwood's life as a blacksmith carrying on the business that his father Jim had. http://www.wheathampstead.net/history/JimWestwood.htm Master Blacksmith (Harry Westwood) by Jim (Cecil) Westwood (post 1950) Jack of all trades - but master of iron - this was the village blacksmith of 50 years ago. Such a man was Harry Westwood of Wheathampstead. From his blacksmith's shop at the rear of the Two Brewers Inn (now the village newsagents) he hammered out shoes for cart horses, tradesmen's horses, and the gentlrmen's riding hacks. He repaired the ploughs, made hinges for the farm gates, fitted iron tryres to cart wheels and solid rubber tryres to bicycles. He hand forged implements for the farmer, casement and widow fittings for the houses. He even releathered the beer engines for the pubs. In fact he would tackle any job in the village in wood or iron. He started at six o'clock in the morning and worked until 10 o'clock at night. After a busy day at Wheathampstead smithy he would walk four miles to Kimpton in the evening to work in the little forge there. Harry's great love was wrought iron work, and at creating gates he was a master. Here the solid country craftsman became an artist in iron. Every part of his gates were hand forged - a virgin bar of iron was plunged into the red hot fire. Then on the anvil Harry hammered and sculptured his forging - With a strong arm, a quick eye and a soul, he wrought from the iron design and beauty. Each forging was then passed to his son Alf for fitting by rivets to the frame and slowly the delicate tracery of the gates was created. The Westwoods with their wrought iron work were forging strong links with the past as they worked together. They were carrying on a traditional craft which came to England from Venice in the 14th Centruy - an example of iron work of this period is the iron gate leading to the choir stalls in the Cathederal at St. Albans. The Westwoods in 1913 made all the wrought iron work for the Church of St. Peters at Gustard Wood, and due to a last minute decision to have wrought iron altar rails, Harry worked for a fortnight almost to the point of exhaustion, in order to complete the work in time. They also made the gates at Shaw's Corner for Bernard Shaw. Alf is the proud possessor of two of Bernard Shaw's famous short pertinent post cards. Further examples of their work are the Churchyard gates at Wheathampstead, the lovely gates at Red Gables, West Common, Harpenden and at Mr Waltons, Amwell Lane. Also Inn signs at the Plough and Harrow, Wheathampstead and the Harrow, Harpenden. Many homely pieces of domestic iron work like door knockers, bell pulls and foot scrapers can be seen everywhere in the village of Wheathampstead. Harry won the Bronze Medal of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths for his work, but his greatest satisfaction was penned by Bernard Shaw in his brief post card which read "Job well done etc." Presumed family members with him on 1939 register. He is a widower, as Louisa pre-deceased him in 1936. | WESTWOOD, Henry George (I6348)
