Lincolnshire memories
The Vintner Farm
My father, Dudley David Wright, who lived in a poor section of Grimsby with his foster mother Nellie Fields and was born in 1924 told me of summers he spent in Dogdyke on a farm owned by a Mrs Vintner. Another person who summered there was Edith STokes, who died in the 1980's or 1990's. My father later emigrated with my mother, sister and I to Australia and has since died and I have no record of his birth parents, though know his mother was called Daisy Wright and was from Nottingham, nor of the Vintner family who were so kind to him and provided what he remembered as idyllic summers the highlight of his childhood. I are eager to learn of anyone who may know of the farm or of any of these people in their own family records. Is Dogdyke still a rural community I wonder, never having gone there myself.
Childhood
I went to Dogdyke Primary School until i was 13 years old, I lived at Tattershall Bridge. Dogdyke was split by the River Witham, on the Tattershall side was The Packet Inn pub, where the ferry used to cross, and the Dogdyke pumping station. The catchment area for Dogdyke School was Walcot Dales, Chapel Hill, Twenty Foot, we had 3 classrooms and in my latter years a swimming pool.
Fishing
We went fishing to Dogdyke on the River Witham in 1964.
RAF Vet.
I was stationed at Conningsby in 1953. I would be interested if there is anyone that served at that time on this base. I am now living in Canada.
Ancestors From Coningsby
I've been researching my family history and have found that an ancestor of mine known as James Faunt used to live at a place called Packet Beerhouse, in fact he is in the 1891 census as being the "beerhouse keeper". He lived there with his wife Sarah. Is the building still in existence today? Are there any Faunts still living in the Coningsby area? I've been trying to find out more, but so far no success. I am a regular visitor to Grimsby so may nip over to Coningsby and try at the roots...so to speak.
Langrick
I was born at Church Corner, Langrick, in one of a pair of tied cottages. My godparents lived next door. My mother was Joyce May Cargill, and she was living with her parents, Eva Kate and George Herbert White at the time of my birth. my father was Joseph William Cargill. He was in the Army, fighting in the second World War.
My paternal grandparents were Mary and John Perry Cargll. They lived a short distance away, along Armtree Road. There is not a trace of the little cottae where they brought up their large family.
The house where I was born on March 21st 1943 has now been converted into single dwelling. the old apple tree is still in the garden. There is still mistletoe growing in it.
My parents were married at Langrick Church. This is where my father and some of his brothers and sisters were baptised. I was baptised here too.
On January 21st 2007 my husband Keith and I... Read more
My Grandfather
I was told by my mother that my grandparents moved to Tattershall in 1912 from Buckinghamshire so my grandfather could find work helping to restore the castle he was a carpenter. His name was William Bywater, known as Roger, they lived in the village for many years.
