JUNE. 1922. DIED: 8. JANUARY. 2003. (80 YEARS OLD) ~ 4 ~ INTRODUCTION Dear Mum (You suffered with a Bi-Polar disorder for most of your adult life) I have a great need to write down the deep feelings I have for the part my Mum played in shaping my life. As you read on you may question and you may criticize, but hopefully you will understand, they are my feelings only, please respect them. For a big part of her life my Mum had an illness disorder known as “Bi-polar or Manic depression” The illness tends to run in families and appears to have a genetic link in fact this illness is and was prevalent in the Daulton family. So now what are you thinking? Some of you will immediately say “oh gosh” I don’t want to know and put this away in the too hard file. Some of you will read on through curiosity and respect and then file it. But I sincerely hope some of you will show a genuine interest and will openly and with deep concern continue on with your learning of this illness.

    The Rylstone Parish Magazine March 2021 Editors Ramblings! I hope everyone is hanging in there. It’s getting a bit tedious now! It’s like having our own groundhog day. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. I’m probably feeling a bit sorry for myself this week as Neil’s away and we’ve just had Valentine’s day and it’s my birthday this coming week. I was just discussing with Katie what takeaway we may get to celebrate and I just wasn’t feeling it! I’m looking forward to going out with friends and having a nice cold glass of white wine with some beautifully prepared fish or sea food. Hmmm! Enjoying watching the Rugby 6 nations at the weekends though. Was pretty torn with the Calcutta Cup result. Being English I was supporting England but I was also supporting Scotland as the rest of the house are Scottish. It was a difficult decision! No solid news on our house move but hopefully we’ll know more by next month! Watch this space! Thank you so much for a donation of £30.00 this last month through internet banking. It was very much appreciated. Community Bank details are:- Rylstone Parish Magazine Sort Code: 20-78-42 Account No: 10780677 Ref: Donation I’ve left the information in about Ian Cross and Xavier Chaduc even though it’s in February but hopefully the magazine will be with you before their run! The next deadline for the April issue is Monday, 15th March. Please put the date in your diary, so that you don’t forget! This is YOUR community magazine, we’d like to hear about any achievements and congratulations as well.

  • Friends in Parish Registers
    Friends in Parish Registers With special reference to Yorkshire entries ENEALOGISTS and local historians have much cause for gratitude to local historical and parish Gregister societies which, during the past half century and more, have been active in printing the registers of the parishes within their chosen field. The work of these societies has not only opened a mine of genealogical in­ formation which can be obtained in every great library,. but has provided much additional groundwork to the student of manners and customs and social history generally, particularly when the incumbent or registrar took liberty to go' beyond the bare record, and chronicled local events, passed judgment on the character of a deceased person or commented on the vagaries of weather, prices or human nature. The particular interest of such registers to Friends was illustrated recently by the discovery of entries in the parish register, for Friends' burials at Bannister Green, Felsted, which were not recorded in Friends' registers,1 and it is likely that similar instances would come to light if a national survey were undertaken. In a smaller sphere, the work of the Yorkshire Parish Register Society (now with 118 volumes to its credit) has revealed several references to- Friends in the Yorkshire registers so far published, and in the following pages some of these entries are detailed. In a previous issue of this Journal,2 Harold Brace gave readers a brief outline of the history and scope of the parochial system of registration, and indicated how Friends might come to be included in it. A study of the printed Yorkshire evidence underlines some points and illustrates 1 Rowntree, C.

  • The Rylstone Parish Magazine 2021
    The Rylstone Parish Magazine 2021 Editors Ramblings! Happy New Year! I hope that you all had some form of a festive holiday and managed to celebrate, even though it seems an age ago now! We were all ready to head south to Wales until that Saturday when Boris came on the TV and announced you could only see people for the Christmas day. I text our friends straight away to say that Christmas had been cancelled for us, they hadn’t been watching so didn’t believe it! Took a while to sink in and Wales then went into full lock down that evening. Our friends have now got lots of food in their freezer for another time and I had to dash out to the shops to find a turkey and all the trimmings. In the end it would have been a total stress for us, as Neil didn’t arrive home from work until late on the evening of the 23rd! In the end we had a quiet Christmas and New Year with just us! There was plenty of slobbing around in our PJ’s and watching TV, something which doesn’t happen often. The next surprise was when Boris was on TV telling us about schools not going back. Katie and I were watching thinking ‘end of January’ when he slipped in schools MAY be going back, at the earliest, after the half term holidays. What! That took a while to sink in as well. Blimey! I hope you are all staying safe and well. We’ve still a while to go yet but hopefully there is a glimmer at the end of the tunnel and some of you will have had your vaccinations by now.
