  • Branscombe Diaspora
    BRANSCOMBE DIASPORA If you look through the old parish registers or census returns, or wander round the graveyard, you’ll find family names that lasted for over a century – Bartletts, Perrys, Dowells, Deans, Frenchs, Gushs, Northcotts, Piles, Pikes, Wards, to name just a few. Nowadays these families have all gone. There are a few exceptions – a couple of Dowells, a Cox, a few hidden below a different surname (Betty Rowson was a Somers; Eileen Carpenter a Northcott; Jean Brimson a Perryman; Ivor Dowell’s mother was a Dean; John Bass’s a French; Sid Sweetland’s wife a Gosling; and Bill Carpenter & Frank Adlam are both members of the Ward clan) - but that’s all. People left the parish for many reasons. Branscombe was never a rich village and opportunities to get on’ were few and far between. By the nineteenth century – and earlier as well – people left to seek work, or maybe they’d got a girl in trouble, run up debts, or run foul of ‘important’ people within the community. Some, no doubt, went out of a spirit of adventure. By the mid nineteenth century, with the railways opening up, and mines and factories, London, Manchester, and South Wales were favoured locations. But some went much further afield, to the States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. And it is these people that we would like to track. We’ve combed through our oral history transcripts, added details from the Parish Registers and Census Returns, as well as other stray references. We intend to trace the names of some of the ships on which the emigrants sailed.

The Playwright Pat Cook ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This play is based on the known facts in the tragedy of the RMS Titanic. All the events depicted in this play are “as they happened” according to the latest research. It is a theatrical compilation of historical facts, newspaper articles and interviews with the people who lived through the disaster. All the characters who are identified in the show actually existed and, in some cases, “speak for themselves,” telling their stories in their own words. The few fictional nameless characters, Gentlemen, Lady, Newsboys, etc. are inserted to provide additional facts and, in some cases, atmosphere. I would like to thank Philip Hind for his permission to use his excellent and extensive Internet text, “The Encyclopedia Titanica,” copyright 1997, in my research. I consider it the utmost in biographical facts regarding the doomed ocean liner.
