Following the commemoration of the 400 years since the Mayflower ship set sail I am delighted to be publishing an article by leading American genealogist, Charles Robert Anderson FASG. It highlights just how important Essex people were in the founding settlements of New England. The C������ D������� name Thomas Hooker appears in Charles’s article and the same person is referred to in the article by Alison Harker entitled Education in Little Baddow. It results in a puzzle about an Essex “fact” i.e. as to where Thomas Hooker lived and taught. More New World connections are highlighted in Carole Mulroney’s article about the Vassall family. Closer to home members Peter Wynn, Eileen Blyth and Tony Hasler quote medieval dates in their research giving rise to my thoughts of just how much dedication, time and effort people can give to tracing their ancestors. In other articles Allison Gale and Tony Hunt write about my favourite period of history, Victorian England. I hope readers enjoy the essays regarding WW2 stories from Rita Harris, Heather Feather and Tony Crompton, and yet another Tony (this time Tony Millatt) writes about the family history archive at the Mersea Island Museum. Even if your name is not Allison, Alison or Tony I thank all contributors on behalf of the members. David Eniffer, our incoming Chairman, gives his thoughts on page 51 and reminds us during these unusual times we can help each other with family history queries. One of the ways of letting other members know the surnames you are researching is by using the Surname Interest section on our website. Both members and non- members can check to see if other people are researching the same or similar surnames. Members have the advantage of being able to update and advertise their surname interests online which appear immediately under the Latest Surname Interest on the right hand side of the Home page on our website. All of us on the Executive Committee welcome your feedback and comments about any aspect of the Society. It is easy to get in touch with any of us by using the ‘Contact us’ tab on our website, or write to ESFH Research Library c/o Essex Record Office Wharf Road Chelmsford Essex CM2 6YT enclosing an SAE. Readers can also email me direct on [email protected]. Make 2021 the year you make the most of ESFH facilities. Happy Researching!

  • THE DEVIL's DYKE, NEWMARKET. Newmarketand
    THE DEVIL'S DYKE, NEWMARKET. {READ Arm 13, 1850.] NEWMARKETandits neighbourhood possessed, till within a few years, numerous evidencesof the warlike races which antiently occupied our Island ; but many of the tumuli which studded the country, with fragments of trackways and embankments, have been cleared away, without, it is much to be regretted, even a note of their contents, form, or precise locality. Most remarkable earthworks, however, extending from the woody uplands on one side to the wide expanse of fen on the other, remain to attest the presence and the labours of contending races Camden enumerates five almost parallel dykes or ditches. The first, called Brent Ditch, between Melbourne and Foulmire ; the second about 5 miles long, running from Hinxton, by Hildersham, to Horseheath ; the third,.called Fleam (Flight) Dyke, or from the length of its course, Seven Mile Dyke, from Balsham to Fen Ditton ; the fourth, the greatest and most entire, popularly called the Devil's Dyke, from Woodditton to Reach, a distance of 7 or 8 miles ; and a fifth, the least of all, " shewethe itselfe two miles from hence, betweene Snailwell and Moulton." The courses of the four first of these ditches are shewn on Lysons's map of Cambridge- shire. Brent or Brant Ditch, says that author, is a slight work of the kind, proceeding from Heydon, in Essex, *pointing nearly to Barrington, continuing over part of . Foulmire, till it ends in a piece of boggy ground. The. "Secondditch is seen about a mile south of Bournbridge, lying upon declining ground between Abingdon Wood and Pampisworth, pointing towards Cambridge.

  • Report to the Council
    Report to the Council Committee: Cabinet Date: 27 July 2017 Subject: Safer, Greener & Transport Portfolio Holder: Councillor G Waller Recommending: That the report of the Safer, Greener & Transport Portfolio Holder be noted. _________________________________________________________________________ Community Safety Operational Demand The Community Safety Team is currently experiencing a sustained and significant level of demand on its resources to respond to a wide range of incidents across the district, including several very serious events. Limes Farm Members may be aware of the recent stabbing at Limes Farm, which was unfortunately carried out in front of several local residents and their young children. Community Safety have therefore been on site at Limes Farm since the incident, working with housing staff and other agencies to help reassure residents and give them the opportunity to talk to officers. The team also identified a counsellor to work with some of the young children who witnessed the crime and experienced trauma as a result. Accommodation was made available at the Limes Centre to allow this valuable work to be carried out. An urgent interim injunction excluding a male from his property at Limes Farm has also been granted by the court, in order to protect residents of Council properties from continual harassment, threats and abuse. A full hearing is due to follow. Linked to this, Community Safety have issued four Community Protection warning letters to perpetrators associated with the ringleader. Anti-Social Behaviour ASB investigations are in progress in relation to a prolific offender who is currently victimising residents in Epping. In the last few weeks, our investigators secured an interim injunction against the offender, who has a high propensity for violence, through personally serving court papers on him where he lives.
