Today I brightened an otherwise dull day with more work on ‘A Knight’s Tale’
Material was gleaned from ‘Fair Isle’, which contains this photograph of Chris, Jacqueline and me, and from ‘Death Of The Brown Velvet Suit’.
Becky continued her Pages tutorial. I do hope I can remember some of it. She left me some notes before she and Ian returned home to Southbourne.
My cousin, Yvonne, sent me a very useful supplement to the Jack and Holly Riskit story, which I have added to the ‘Holly’ post: (This message received from my cousin, Yvonne clarifies the point, with some important additional information: ‚ÄòHolly had 2 children before they came to England and they both died. Aunty Ivy was born here but Holly disappeared (presume died but can‚Äôt find) not long after. Betty was his second wife. They bought my Dad an engraved christening cup in 1921. I still have it. I also have a pic of Jack, Holly and Betty. Apparently he got hurt at some stage and bought a small theatre which he eventually had to sell before he died. I don‚Äôt have immediately to hand but have pics. Best wishes for the¬†New Year¬†to you all‚Ķ.Yvonne)
Jackie and I dined on Mr. Chan’s choice Hordle Chinese Take Away, with which the resting Culinary Queen drank Just The Juice Soave 2017 and I finished the Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
And the story grows!
Thanks very much, GP
Yes indeed, the story continues. You might end up on ancestry.com researching this arm of your family – a whole new hobby!!
Thanks very much, Pauline. 🙂
You do look rather sweet in your dress, I’m glad you got rid of that beard before they took the picture though.
🙂 So kind, Brian. Many thanks
The story of your Corsair is hair-raising! No wonder the onlookers thought there was a film crew nearby!
🙂 Many thanks, Lavinia
That’s such a fantastic old photograph. So many memories.
Many thanks, Dad
It is good to see a pair of proper pullovers.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal. We were so proud of them
What a sweet photo, Derrick! You look like you’re ready to go!?
Thanks very much, Jill
Interesting post Derrick. Nice to look deeper into you family heritage and put some of the pieces together.
Thanks very much, Gary. I hope you are making progress
Every entry you make is full of emotions and interesting. Thank you Derrick!!!
Very many thanks, Efi
Love those knitted vests. I recall my Nan providing me with those for a number of years in the 1960s.
Thanks a lot, Andrew
I enjoy reading your family histories.
Many thanks, Sherry. That is encouraging
That picture has such a far-off look. Onward ho with your book! I certainly know how much effort it takes to write a book.
You do, indeed. Laurie. Many thanks
The genealogy of Knight family is intriguing as well as endearing.
Very many thanks, Uma
How wonderful!
And the photo is so sweet!
HUGS!!! 🙂
Many thanks, Carolyn
Wonderful photo, Derrick, and nice to get some additional family history, too!
Lovely photograph, Derrick. A picture can bring back so many memories! It was an interesting read… 🙂
