Year: 1930s
Williamson Family
My father was John Henry Williamson known as Harry. He lived with his father John William Williamson and mother Ada Florence nee Rylatt. My mother Florence Thorpe Catton was from Yorkshire and met Dad at Metheringham Feast. The family lived in Burton Pedwardine at the time of my parents marriage in 1933 and Harry and Florence went to live with John and Ada Williamson for the first few years. They had three children while living there. John, Mary and Joan. My father and Grandfather were Agricultural Labourers. Dad and Mum moved to Fishtoft Boston about 1937. I have not been able to find out anymore about their time in Burton Pedwardine so would be interested in reading any memories at all that relate to that era.

Memories of My Family
I was not born when my family lived in Kirkby Green but I have heard my mother tell a few stories of life there. She had a pet trout who lived in the Beck which ran past the back garden. She called him Peter and would go down to feed him most days. When he failed to turn up for a few days she blamed the American Airmen who were stationed nearby saying they must have caught him to eat. The family of Williamsons lived in Mill Cottages. Harry and Flo with John, Mary, Joan, Florence, Eileen and Brian. The older ones went to school in Scopwick and one story is of them walking home during the war. A German plane flew overhead following the road...Mum shouted for the kids to "Get in the Hedge Bottom" John pulled out his catapult and said "Don't worry Mum, I'll get him" Mary remembers saying "I can't run my belly's wobbling" The Beck used to run over the road and there was a gate at that point. It seems my enterprising family used to close the gate and charge a penny to open it. Mum got mad at them and took the money off them, never to be seen again. Well times were hard and money was short. One game they played was crossing the Beck by walking over a pipe and of course one had to fall in and that one was Joan. I will add more memories when I find my notes taken on my last visit to England in 2005 Posted: 06/09/2008 05:26 by Gillian Emerton |

Year: 1941
No actual memories ...!
Kirkby Green. I was born here in December 1941. My family lived in the house at the side of 'The Beck' which had a water wheel used for driving a mill. My father worked for a local farming family, the Wrights. I have no memories of my life here as we left the area in 1942, but my brothers and sisters have told me about life there. Some years later I was involved in a road accident which resulted in my being in hospital in Lincoln for a while. The person in the next bed to mine was the son of the Wright family my father had worked for, small world. I paid a visit to see my birthplace as I was told it had fallen into a state of ruin. I found a beautifully restored house still with a working water wheel and was made welcome by the present occupier, a member of the original Wright family. Brian Williamson.
