Kate, Sid & Our Ruby, by Mark D. Bishop, published December 2014 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 21 no. 4, article, pp.193-197) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/508854]

All I knew about my great-grandmother, Kate, before beginning my ancestral research, was that she, in my mother's words, 'Great Gramma', gave me a pair of booties as a christening present - now, that was a long time ago. Although I have no memory of it, the gift was dutifully noted in the 'Baby's Progress Book' that my mother so lovingly compiled over the first year of my life. Oddly enough, I still have those booties. Being too small now, I have kept them all the same, subconsciously I suppose, because of what they represent; Kate's outward delights and hidden grief that she passed on to me through this gift, perhaps somehow knowing that I would one day find out what really happened to Sid and also share in her sorrow at losing her precious jewel.

This is the third part of my efforts to research the families of my great-grandparents William Richard COLLIS and Laura Sophia MARTIN, who came to the colony of New South Wales as assisted migrants. After the difficulties of trying to find Charles TUPPER's baptism and William MARTIN's marriage, I turned to the family of Susan Eliza Louisa BISHOP. After a promising start, the BISHOPs and LINNs have proved as elusive as the others.

Sussex Connections & Karmic Questions, by Mark D. Bishop, published June 2015 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 21 no. 6, article, pp.276-281) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/508876]

While the investigative writer seeks rational answers, the poet within me must, of necessity, pose irrational questions: Perhaps it is fate, or is it karma that creates the destiny of ancestry to group itself connectively into certain geographical locations, or is it coincidence based on an egocentric viewpoint? For example, both of my maternal great-grandmothers were born, bred, raised & wed in diverse locations, but were to pass away within a year of each other near the Sussex coast, after having spent the final years of their long, lucrative lives there. Great-grandmother MORGAN [nee ANDREW] (1878-1969) was born in Cornwall and married a butcher in Suffolk where they raised their large family, while great-grandmother FORTUNE [nee MEERS] (1868-1968), of Anglo-Italian extract, made claim to being a Cockney, spent a year or so in Gibraltar after her marriage and ended up raising her brood on an ait at Shepperton, as wife of the Thames Conservancy Engineer.
