Family History
I am researching my family history and HANNAH WILKINSON was born at TUNSTALL in the early 1800s. Does anyone know of any information regarding the family and where in the village they lived.

Tunstall Village Circa 1949/50
My parents used to own the local post office/ grocery store which I now believe is a private house. One of my brothers took it over from my mother and I used to stay there on holiday. When my parents owned the post office, I remember we had a "nanny" to look after us by the name of Hannah Coates. She used to live in a little cottage over the brook at the rear of our property. I, no doubt, will remember more over time and I will contact one of my seven sisters to find out more. The sister I have in mind is called Jessie, and I still see her quite often. If anyone can shed any light on this period I would be very interested. My parents' names were George and Lily Brown. Thanks.
Memories of Young Soldier in The Catterick Garrison
When I left High School, in Callander, Perthshire in 1947, I had no idea what to do in life. My father had been a Regular Army Officer, post WW1 and told me that if I enlisted in the army, and with his connection, I would have no difficulty in obtaining a commission. So I enlisted as a Private Soldier and was posted to 8th Royal Tank Regiment (a Training Regiment) at Catterick Garrison. What a culture shock! I was assigned to a hut where twenty something men were housed. No privacy, foul language and more. Fortunately, I was assigned to a Potential Officers Squad, with about a dozen other men, the majority coming from moneyed backgrounds and 'Public Schools'. We were allowed to wear civilian clothes after duty and we would go into Richmond town to eat in restaurants and get away from Catterick camp! If one walked around the camp, one had to dress properly, walk smartly and be on the look out for an officer... Read more

Fulthorpe
I have a family history interest in this photo. One of my ancestors married Alice Fulthorpe in 1441. I also have some of the Fulthorpe tree back to Alan 1197.
My Childhood
As a child I spent many a happy summer holiday in the castle grounds. My aunt was cook at the castle and my uncle worked the land. From what I remember I think it was then owned by the Clutterbuck family. My aunt and uncle lived in the lodge just down the hill from the castle near the church. Somewear in the lake is a necklace belonging to my mum as my aunty and her used to go in the old rowing boat they had. She lost it while they were messing about. I hope to try to revisit the castle one day and take my children to see it, the lake and the old ice house if it is still there.
Picnics
I lived across the field from Easby and as a child spent many Sundays down on the river bank at Easby with my parents and siblings picnicing. My aunts and cousins used to visit from Northumberland and we had fishing nets and jam jars on strings in which we collected our 'tiddlers'. We paddled in the river and in the 1950s many afternoons after school we cycled to Easby to play by the River Swale. Both my parents are buried at Easby.
