WELL, I've done my best to be accurate in compiling and copying the data, all of which 'facts' should be checked at source. There are bound also to be omissions that are not due to my one-hundred-year rule. If anyone has anything they'd like to correct, add or know they can contact me HERE. Photographs would be very welcome.
Also welcome would be memories concerning the people in these charts. For example, I have a vivid memory of my grandmother, Mabel Ealey, and her unique knitting style. Most women hold their knitting needles from above, like knives, and clash them together in a kind of solitary duel. Nana used to hold hers from beneath, like writing pens, her palms cupped around the growing fabric. And just thinking of it now brings a picture to my mind of Nana on the settee in our council flat sitting room, weaving and clicking, counting her stitches in a stage whisper ... two ... four ... six ... eight ... ten ... twelve ... and our daft skyblue budgerigar, Timmy, landing on the end of one or other of the pins, wooshing to and fro, wings billowing.
Perhaps we could have a page especially for memories?
Anyway, thank you—to both family and strangers—for visiting the website. I hope you found something to interest you.
