News Letter May 2016 LINCOLNSHIRE FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY Registered Charity No 1000724 News Letter May 2016 Issue No 2 It is with some regret that we have to send out this very short News Letter again instead of the magazine that you are used to receiving every quarter, and my thanks go to Hazel Deighton for helping me to prepare this edition. Brenda Lefley who has done such a good job over the last year in spite of ill health has reluctantly decided that she has to resign. In spite of advertising in the February Magazine, at the time of going to press no one has come forward to take on the Post of Editor. We are very sorry to lose Brenda but wish her well for the future We still hope that someone will come forward soon as there is now a backlog of articles awaiting publication and I am sure you will all miss the interesting news and articles which are normally in the magazine Some members have asked if they can receive their magazine electronically. We hope to be able to do this when we have a new Editor. It will be done through the members’ area of the website, so if you are interested in receiving your magazine in this format, do log on to the Members’ Area of the website and we will keep you informed of developments. Just remember you will need your membership number to enable you to join the members’ area of the website Sue Patman Chairman LFHS 2 WANTED EDITOR Could you be the Next Editor?

St Peter’s Church, Cleethorpes celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, and will be hosting a Flower Festival within the Church over the weekend of 3rd, 4th & 5th June. We are hoping to set up a Family History Exhibition on Monday 6th June to follow on from this, and will be on display all week. Maybe you were baptised there, or your grandparents married there; maybe your ancestors had a hand in building the Church! If anyone has any family members connected with either Cleethorpes or the Church, we would love to hear from you. Secondly, this year will see the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, The Great War. There are all sorts of events in the pipeline for this, with the main events over the weekend of 1st, 2nd 3rd July. An event for Friday 1st is in the planning stages, & will take place outdoors in Peoples Park, Welholme Rd, Grimsby, and will hopefully include a Drumhead Service amongst other things. There will be an exhibition in The Business & Digital Hub, Freeman St Market, Grimsby DN32 7DS running from Saturday 2nd July. We will be setting up a Family History display, along with exhibitors from the British Legion, Grimsby Library, and others. If anyone has Grimsby or Cleethorpes ancestors who were involved in the Battle of the Somme, we would love to hear from you. They don’t have to be of a military background, it could involve medics, clergy, or even those who were left at home. Please contact myself at [email protected] Thanks, Vanessa Dumbleton (memb. no.A0148) 6 RESEARCH CENTRE LIBRARY NEW ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY (Items marked ** are not available for loan and can only be seen at the Society’s Research Centre): The Society has subscribed to, and will receive in the Library, the periodic magazine “The Boston Old Times”.

LINCOLN’S CITY CENTRE NORTH OF THE WITHAM published by The Survey of Lincoln and edited by Andrew Walker This is the twelfth book in the growing range of books chronicling Lincoln’s history area by area. The new book looks at an area that takes in much of the area enclosed by the original Roman city walls, extended down to the river. The historic core of the city is detailed here from The Stonebow to Steep Hill and West Parade to Broadgate and Lindum Road. Those of you that have read the earlier books in the series will know what to expect – knowledgeable and highly readable accounts of the city’s past. GENEALOGICAL NOTES ON THE ELSEYS OF LOW TOYNTON HENINGBY AND BUCKNALL by W M Myddleton and published in 1915. Donated by Peter Woods, a member from Norwich, The author writes “the following notes relating to the Elsey family have been collected at various times and unless they are now put into print are likely to be lost.” How true that is of our research – where will it go after we have gone! The book shows how the Elsey name is long established in the area quoted and contains trees, details of wills and parish register extracts. DOMESDAY BOOK – YORKSHIRE (2 VOLUMES) These are from the usual red-covered Phillimore publications with the original 11th Century text on one side and a modern “translation” on the other side.

TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS ALEXANDRA, PRINCESS OF WALES, THIS BOOK IS INSCRIBED BY HER LOYAL AND GRATEFUL SERVANT THE AUTHOR. A thousand years have nursed the changeful mood Of England's race,—so long have good and ill Fought the grim battle, as they fight it still,— Since from the North, —a daring brotherhood,— They swarmed, and knew not, when, mid fire and blood, made their or took their fill They —English homes, Of English spoil, they rudely wrought His will Who sits for aye above the water-flood.

" I DO not pretend that my books can teach truth. All I hope for is that they may be an occasion to inquisitive men of discovering truth." Although it was of a subject infinitely higher than that of which the following pages treat, that Bishop Berkeley wrote such words, yet they exactly express the sentiment with which this book is submitted to the public.

  • 25 March 2015 News: the Ark Gets Top Slot on BBC
    25 March 2015 News: The Ark gets top slot on BBC A retelling of the biblical story of Noah will air in a primetime BBC slot this Easter. The Ark, a one-off special written by Tony Jordan (Hustle, The Nativity) will air on BBC1 at 8.30pm on Monday 30 March. Noahs ark3Written and produced over a period of three years, The Ark is Jordan’s unique insight into the story of Noah and his family, a story that is found in Jewish, Christian and Muslim scriptures. When BBC1 screened Tony Jordan’s drama Nativity in 2010 it was watched by over five million viewers and garnered some of the best feedback the BBC has ever received for a popular drama. Like Nativity, this film focuses on the human aspects of the narrative. It’s a powerful, moving film that not only retells the story for a new generation, but also raises contemporary questions of family loyalty, self-doubt, and what it means to live as a person of faith in a world that doesn’t believe. Its stars include David Threlfall (Shameless, Master and Commander) as Noah and Joanne Whalley (Wolf Hall, Scandal) as his wife. Joining forces for UK mission The Revd Lynn Green joined leaders of other denominations to commit to renewed unity in evangelism and mission Mrs Green, General Secretary of our Baptist Union, and the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, planted an oak tree to symbolise church unity in evangelism last week (10-11 March). The planting took place at a gathering organised by the Evangelical Alliance, HOPE and the Church of England, which brought together 40 church leaders to the Lake District to consider how to help more people across the UK become followers of Jesus.

  • An Examination of Thomas Grantham's Leadership Among the Seventeenth-Century General Baptists
    ABSTRACT Messenger, Apologist, and Nonconformist: An Examination of Thomas Grantham's Leadership among the Seventeenth-Century General Baptists John D. Inscore Essick, Jr., Ph.D. Mentor: William L. Pitts, Ph.D. This dissertation argues that Thomas Grantham (1633/4-1692) was instrumental in organizing and legitimizing the General Baptists in Lincolnshire and Norfolk in the second half of the seventeenth century. The first chapter introduces the study and provides a historiographical survey of the variety of ways in which Grantham has been studied. The second chapter provides a biographical and literary sketch of Grantham’s life and published documents. Unlike most surveys of Grantham’s writings which focus on select publications, the literary sketch in the second chapter provides a brief and basic introduction to all of Grantham’s writings. The third chapter of this dissertation builds on the conclusions of J. F. V. Nicholson by examining Grantham’s role in consolidating the office of Messenger and establishing it as a distinctive third ministerial office among the General Baptists in the seventeenth century. Grantham helped to solidify the office of Messenger between 1660 and 1700 by publishing defenses of the Messenger’s office, preaching, baptizing, planting churches, and ordaining ministers in Lincolnshire and later in Norfolk. Chapter Four examines Grantham’s apologetic efforts to defend the baptized believers against Anglicans, Catholics, Quakers, and Presbyterians. He was called upon to contend with other Christian groups by means of public debates and epistolary correspondence. The fifth chapter addresses Grantham’s interactions with the government and his thoughts on civil matters. He represented the baptized believers of Lincolnshire before Charles II and called all Christians to remain loyal, peaceable subjects.
