Ancestral societies and subscription websites dedicated to helping people trace their family tree have millions of members; 1 ancestry.com and myheritage.com are two examples. But it may well be worth highlighting a number of free national resources in England and the United States so your client can be extra thorough before they depart. See page 36 for more details. HOW TO LOCAL KNOWLEDGE GOES A LONG WAY Having a contact in England could make or break your client’s trip. Whether that’s a researcher who can locate a specific grave or name on a memorial plaque in advance, or a tour guide with years of experience leading bespoke ancestral tours, a local contact can flesh out any existing research, help save 2 time on your clients’ trips and deal with any curveballs that on-the-ground research might throw. You’ll find contact details for ancestral tour specialists and archivists throughout this guide. PLAN AN GO ARMED WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS Your client’s trip is a chance to solve any mysteries that online research in the United States can’t unravel. What seems obscure in the United States might become obvious when in England. Advise your client to jot down their burning questions 3 (as well as the straightforward ones) as a checklist to run through at the end of any tours or experiences, so they won’t forget to ask them in the excitement of any new discoveries. ANCESTRAL DON’T TRAVEL WITH ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS Instead, advise your client to pack copies of all the documents they think might be useful on their trip. This way your client won’t run the risk of losing any precious papers, and can leave copies with any archivists or researchers who TOUR OF 4 might be able to help them delve deeper into their ancestors’ lives – leaving them with more time to explore England. BE PREPARED TO BE COMPLETELY THROWN BY WHAT’S UNCOVERED Your client’s investigations might not go the way they hope or expect. Their English ENGLAND ancestry could include rogues or royals so prepare them for the possibility that what they discover may differ somewhat from their expectations. Regardless, England is a 5 wonderful country to explore so if the trail runs cold they can find solace in England’s countryside, cities and coast. 4 | Ancestral Services | US Connections US Connections | Ancestral Services | 5 BRISTOL FOR OFFICAL DESTINATION AND TOURIST INFORMATION SEE: VISITBRISTOL.CO.UK ST MARY REDCLIFFE CHURCH BERKELEY CASTLE THE MATTHEW GETTING HERE The American Chapel in this beautiful Built in the 11th century, this stunning The Matthew is a modern gothic parish church is the final resting red-stone castle has been home to reconstruction of the ship that carried Bristol is 120 miles west of London, in southwest England. place of Sir William Penn, father of the aristocratic Berkeley family for John Cabot and his crew across the From London, Bristol is 1 hour 40 mins by rail or 2 hours by road.

  • Hamble History Meetings
    SS Shieldhall 14th June 2012 - Roy Underdown Pavilion During the early 1980s village residents would see a smart well maintained grey steamship going past Hamble’s Southampton Water foreshore, travelling from Southampton to south of the Isle of Wight and back most days. Few of them knew what she was carrying and most would be surprised but Graham Mackenzie gave the full details to the Society in an interesting illustrated talk about this ship, the ‘SS Shieldhall’. Graham told the Society that ‘Shieldhall’ was designed and built to carry sewerage waste from the river Clyde in Scotland and this was the same cargo she was carrying when Hamble residents saw her pass by. He gave the history of the previous sewerage boats that operated on the Clyde before ‘Shieldhall’ was built in 1955, the second ship to carry this name. The ‘Shieldhall’ is 268 ft in length and her construction and machinery is similar to that of the ‘Titanic’. She cost £28,000 to build and her normal operating speed is 9 knots, powered by two 800hp steam engines and her boilers fuelled by oil. She needed a crew of 12 to operate and her 1800 tons of sewerage took 20 minutes to discharge in an approved deep water location. Interestingly she also carried up to 80 passengers on her regular trips. Due to high operating costs she was laid up in 1976, but the Southern Water Authority (SWA) purchased her £45,000 and subsequently brought her to Southampton from Glasgow. SWA had to spend a similar amount on repairs and had to wait until a previous sewerage shipping contract had expired before ‘Shieldhall’ could start to be used in 1981.

  • 500Th Voyage for SS Shieldhall As Charity Celebrates
    500th voyage for SS Shieldhall as Charity celebrates The Solent Steam Packet Limited, the charity operating Southampton’s heritage steamship SS Shieldhall, are celebrating as the vessel recently embarked upon her 500th voyage since charitable status began in 1988. Originally constructed in 1955 as a vessel to carry treated sludge down the River Clyde to the dumping grounds for the Glasgow Corporation, Shieldhall was sold to Southern Water in 1977 to perform a similar role out of Southampton. Her role was discontinued due to rising costs and Shieldhall was due to be sold for scrap. However, a group of enterprising individuals saw her heritage value, forming the charity and purchasing her for her scrap price of £20k. Amongst the 500 sailings since have been been trips to Dordrecht in Holland and to her home port of Glasgow for Shieldhall’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2005. Although currently limited to sailing in Solent waters (with passengers) it is hoped to extend the list of cruise destinations in future years. Shieldhall’s 500th sailing saw her set sail at 10am on Sat 1 July for an all day Solent cruise, giving passengers the opportunity to enjoy the spectacle of what turned out to be a record breaking Round the Island Yacht Race. As with all Shieldhall cruises, passengers were able to see the impressive Shieldhall engine room with its original steam engines at work, and the Bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork. Warm weather also meant the bar and saloon were busy with a steady stream of visitors for Shieldhall’s renowned real ale, bacon butties and ice cream! Shieldhall Chief Engineer Graham Mackenzie was delighted at reaching the 500th voyage milestone.

    PAPER No. 021 A Directory of Medical Personnel Qualified and Practising in the Diocese of Canterbury, circa 1560-1730 Ian Mortimer, BA MA PhD FRHistS RMSA This paper has been downloaded from www.kentarchaeology.ac. The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The necessary form can be downloaded from the website at www.kentarchaeology.ac 1 Introduction The question of how many medical practitioners served urban and rural communities in the early modern period has exercised social historians for many years. A century ago, the seventeenth century provincial practitioner was looked upon as a rare beast, more often than not a quack or charlatan, with the vast majority of ‘proper’ physicians being resident in London. This view was strongly reinforced by early historians of medicine, who, as a result of their eagerness to demonstrate how society had been improved by the profession, concentrated on applauding the achievements of the great men of science. Of course, many of these great men emerged from the provinces - Kent’s own William Harvey is a prime example - but they tended to base themselves either in the university towns or London, and their work was anything but routine or characteristic of the profession as a whole. Although local records often revealed practitioners functioning successfully in localities, and evcn gaining wealth, status and political eminence in towns, the idea that there was a large cardre of provincial physicians, surgeons and apothecaries was normally dismissed.
