School House
I have been to visit the old school house in Maltby le Marsh which was a charity school, run by Cornelius Binks. He was my Great great great grandfather. I know somewhere out there there is a photograph of him with his wife and the children at the school, I would be very interested if anyone has a copy of this as I only have a photocopy kindly given to me by the present owner.
Ancestors
While doing my family tree I have come across births of my ancestors in Maltby le Marsh, Mary Skinn born 1856 son of John Skinn who married Elizabeth Rylott at the Parish Church on 23rd March 1852. John's parents were James Skinn born 1771 in Strubby and Elizabeth Bullivant. I am looking for any information on this family. CAN YOU HELP? Mark Skinn markskinndog@aol.com
Calceby ... my Soul Mate.
Calceby... I came to live here in 1947, not a country girl by birth, having lived in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, for the first fourteen years of my life. This hamlet was to become my home for the next three years, isolated and buried in the heart of the wolds. I came to know every part of the landscape, and walking very soon became my hobby. My interest in history became larger than life because here I was surrounded with evidence of a long forgotten past.
The ruined St Andrews Church on the top of the hill was my playground, and most days I would spend my time exploring every nook and cranny, and under the turf surrounding the walls lay the inhabitants, what a wealth of stories they could have told me of the lives and deaths of this small and unobtrusive village.
The Black Death was soon to come and desolate the population, leaving it
ruined and abandoned. The once village now became a hamlet, and... Read more
Nana And Grandad 1950 Onwards
My Nana and Grandad Evelyn and Tom Gordon Walton, my dad's parents, retired to Alder Cottage, Crook Bank, Theddlethorpe. As a child I lived in a cottage in the grounds until moving away. But my brothers and I spent every school holidays with them. We visited after we were married right into 1976 when alas they both died. But I took my children and now my grandchildren, I was there with them 2 weeks ago, it holds so many memories for me. All are fond memories, spending the days on the beach looking for shells hidding in the dunes, making sand castles. The only thing that kept us away was the red flag flying on top of those tall lookouts for when the RAF had their bombing practice, firing at the wooden targets out towards the sea. Fishing in the dyke for tiddlers and falling in, ending up at the other side all wet with a field full of cows, my grandad had to rescue me. A day out at... Read more
At Home in Mablethorpe
My first holiday: I was 21 with 2 small girls and lived with my mum and dad, as my husband left me while I was expecting my second child. We went to Mablethorpe as my aunt said the sands were great for kids. We all had a great time, that was in 1972 and then we went every year till my dad passed away in 1995. We had so many good times, it was like going home. I try to get there at least once a year, if only for the day. My daughters are married now.
Seaholme
As a small child, I visited Mabelthorpe with my grandparents ,we used to stay with my great aunty Edith Langton, who lived on Seaholme Road and she had a great many chickens and goats.The sun always seem to shine, as we always remember our childhood summers. Mabelthorpe has always stayed in my memory as a great place with a really nice beach ,we always had lovely days and slept well at night. As a teen in 1969, I went back with my parents and nothing had changed really. Now my daughter and family live there, there's a few changes but its still a lovely place for holidays, and of course I now have another generation to show all the delights to. If anybody should remember the farm on Seaholme Road, I would love to hear from you as it's no longer there.
Henson Ancestry
An ancester of mine, Edith Rebecca Henson, lived in Worlaby in the late 1800s/early 1900s in Low Road or Top Road, Worlaby. She lived with the Rusling family as a niece. She married Richard Frank Henson in 1905. They shared the same surname but were they related - maybe cousins? Richard came from Scawby. I would like to hear from anyone who knows of this family as I am doing family history on the Henson family but I can't find out anything about Edith after 1905.
