July 2007 NEWSLETTER
(circulated to members of the Adamthwaite mailing list on Rootsweb)
Apologies for the lack of a June Newsletter … our youngest daughter got
married at the end of June so I was otherwise engaged!
There are several new items on the website, all of which you can find in the
Miscellany section:
- History of the
Quambatook Adamthwaites 1878-1978
– this wonderful article was written in 1978 by Vida Adamthwaite and
published as a Centenary booklet at the time (some of you may have
copies). It has recently been updated by Elizabeth Adamthwaite and she
generously agreed that we could publish the first part of the book on
the website. The second part contains family trees which include a
number of living individuals so would not be appropriate to include.
- Rhoda’s story
– Toni Dickens has compiled family memories and photographs of her much
loved mother-in-law growing up in Leeds
- Adamthwaites in
uniform – since so much
information has become available on-line about world war records, I have
been putting together a table of all known Adamthwaites who served in
the army, navy and airforce. It is now as complete as I can make it and
needs more information from all of you about other individuals who
should be included. In particular, it would be wonderful to be able to
include photographs of all those mentioned. Take a look and see if
there are any names you recognise and please send me all additions,
corrections, etc together with photos if possible.
BMD and Census updates I am just
waiting for a batch of certificates to arrive and then I will be updating
all the spreadsheets – don’t forget, if you have got any birth marriage or
death certificates to send me the details so that we can confirm the
information on the website.
Photo Gallery we have now got
such a good selection of photographs of Adamthwaite ancestors and places
where they lived, that I am looking at other ways of presenting the photos
in a more accessible way.
Adamthwaites in the Workhouse
Bob is working on an article about this, so if anyone has more information
about members of their family lines that would be relevant, please contact
him directly.
Obituaries Some time ago,
several obituaries were circulated on the mailing list. I plan to put these
on the website (or at least those that relate to individuals who died more
than twenty five years ago) – so if you have any others you would like to
contribute for inclusion, please send them to me.
