This book was written by Jim Ash, the author, is a Canadian descendant a Barnado boy aged 10 sent to Canada to work for a farmer. His research into his family revealed that part of his family descended from Prudence Ash who lived in our Village in the 1740s. There is mention of a number of other families resident in or around the village at that time and through to the early 20th century. Jim met Eric Palmer whilst visiting the Village some years ago and was put in touch with me to see if the archives may have information that would assist him. Happily there was some helpful material and having completed his book he has kindly agreed that it be placed on the Village web site for the benefit of others interested in the history of the Village. We are grateful to Jim for allowing us to publish his book on the web site and would remind readers that the copyright of all of the work belongs to Jim. Richard Jackson Archivist and Treasurer The Willoughby Society 22nd February 2018 My Family in History The Redmonds of St Margaret's Bay and the Ashes of Willoughby, Warwickshire Jim Ash Aug 2016 Dedicated To Mom and Dad Self-published by Jim Ash 2016 11200 7th Ave, Richmond BC Canada V7E3B9 Request copies from: [email protected] Other Book "A Fortunate Life" - An Autobiography Cover Design by Keziah Selles Cover Photo "Sheep in Willoughby" Printed by Minuteman Press, Richmond BC Copyright © 2016 by Jim Ash ISBN: 978-0-9952310-1-6 The Ash family spent one hundred fifty years farming in Willoughby, Warwickshire in England, while the Redmond family fished and farmed in St Margaret's Bay, just south of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife Fran's family came from France to Quebec in the 17th century, and both our families had pioneers who experienced the Scottish Clearances. This book is about the history that they and their ancestors lived - from the prominent Redmond and Devereux families in County Wexford, Ireland, to the pioneers who lived in early Canadian history. We will learn about their involvement in the French-English wars of early Nova Scotia and Quebec; on both sides of the American Revolution, and the heartbreak of drownings, tuberculosis and the Halifax Explosion. We will tell the stories of the famous, infamous and modest - of mayors and founders, murderers and thieves, candy-makers and shoe-makers. Our family stories tell of the struggle to survive World War II and escape to Canada; what it was like to come from England as a Barnardo boy at age 10 to work for a Canadian farmer (my father Reg), or to cross the country on a train to raise a family in the excitement of early Alberta (my mother's family).

I have always been interested in history and geography, and these can be so much more interesting when you can relate them to your own family. Although I have found the vital statistics of the Ash and Redmond families back four generations and more, it is the places they lived and stories of what they did and what history happened around them that have fascinated me. So this book will leave the pictures, genealogical documents and vital statistics for my web-site http://tim- ash.com/genealogy, or possibly for a future picture book. I will begin with the only ancestors I know - my parents and their families, and then will jump backwards to the pioneers who first came to Canada, then follow the various branches that led down through the generations to my parents and my wives' families. We will trace the Redmonds and their wives (McKay, McDonalds of Cape Breton, Bishops of Halifax, Boutiliers and Umlahs of St Margaret's Bay) and the Ash family and their wives (Watsons, Bromwiches, Marlows, Olorenshaws and Farrells) of the area around Willoughby in the English Midlands). The Redmond pioneer David Redman married Mary Devereux in 1766, recorded in the Anglican church St. Paul's in Halifax, Nova Scotia(Catholic churches were forbidden at the time). The Redmond and Devereux families have a very long history, dating back to the 1100s and French ancestors related distantly to William the Conqueror and his generals. The families have a rich and distinguished history in County Wexford, and It seems likely that David and Mary joined

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement

    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

    Discovery of Japan by a New Englander: a Diary of William

    DISCOVERY OF JAPAN BY A NEW ENGLANDER; A DIARY OF WILLIAM CLEVELAND, CAPTAIN'S CLERK ON BOARD THE MASSACHUSETTS IN 1800: AN INTRODUCTION MADOKA KANAI* I THE IDEA THAT THE FAMOUS 1853 EXPEDITION OF COM­ modore Matthew Calbraith Perry did not initiate relations between Japan and the United States has been widely ac­ cepted.' Perhaps, the most balanced and factual description of the relations is that of Shunzo Sakamaki, Professor at the Univ­ ersity of Hawaii, which was largely written on the basis of pri­ mary and secondary materials then available in the two countries (J apan and the United States). Mr. Sakamaki points out that the Perry expedition was preceded to Japan - on at least twenty­ five occasions - by twenty-seven American vessels, including fif­ teen merchantmen, nine whalers, and three warships.' An effort to enrich Sakamaki's chronicle in terms of the analysis of the means by which the United States made the intellectual acquaint­ ance of Japan, has recently been done by Columbia University Professor Henry F. Graff, in his introduction to an unofficial diary *The text of this unpublished diary as transcribed from its original in manuscript, and annotated by Mr. M. Kanai, will be separately published by the Institute of Asian Studies as one of its published Monographs.

    Mayflower (May-Floure) Was Not

    ACTUALLY, THE MAYFLOWER (MAY-FLOURE) WAS NOT A “NEGRERO” SLAVE VESSEL “It has been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can; it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence.” — Samuel Butler, EREWHON REVISITED HDT WHAT? INDEX THE MAYFLOWER THE MAYFLOWER There is an historical circumstance, known to few, that connects the children of the Puritans with these Africans of Virginia in a very singular way. They are our brethren, as being lineal descendants from the Mayflower, the fated womb of which, in her first voyage, sent forth a brood of Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, and, in a subsequent one, spawned slaves upon the Southern soil, — a monstrous birth, but with which we have an instinctive sense of kindred, and so are stirred by an irresistible impulse to attempt their rescue, even at the cost of blood and ruin. The character of our sacred ship, I fear, may suffer a little by this revelation; but we must let her white progeny offset her dark one, — and two such portents never sprang from an identical source before. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE MAYFLOWER THE MAYFLOWER In the course of the Civil War, the racist Nathaniel Hawthorne, who detested American of color and desired for the secessionist states to win, adverted that after bringing over the white people in 1620 the Mayflower had been re-purposed as a negrero. That seems quite unlikely to have been the case. Either Hawthorne had some indication now entirely lost to us — or, more than likely, he was merely making up Fake News like

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).
