 The Evacuees
During World War 2 around three-and-a-half million British people, mainly
children, were evacuated en masse, by train, bus and even boat, away from
possible air-raids in the big cities. It was one of the biggest social upheavals
the country has ever seen. Few evacuees knew where they would end up after
a long and tiring journey which sometimes lasted for days. Often they would be
dropped off in small ad hoc groups at stations and halts all the way along a
branch railway line. Then they would be marched straight from the station to
the local village hall where the inhabitants had gathered to meet them. There
the evacuees stood around, like cattle at an auction, waiting to be chosen by
their prospective foster-parents. And that was just the start.

Fleeing the Cities

The evacuation of children happened during WW2. It was when
children escaped from the bombing. They would be sent to the
countryside where the bombers wouldn’t keep coming. The
children would be packed into trains out of London. When they got
where the station was they would wait until they were taken by
somebody. Some children would be left on the Station floor and
would sleep there if nobody picked them up. They would be sent
to a house and stay there even if the people who took them in
were horrible.

Escape Overseas
Most children were evacuated from Birmingham, London and other
big cites. Rich children were evacuated over seas to places such as
America. South Africa, Australia would also take evacuees. Some
ships with British children on were shot down. America offered to
take around 200,000 children that amount of children is amazing.

The Blitz
The government were disappointed because it had hoped to
evacuate 3 million people but more than half the school children
did not leave their homes in the cities or towns. After that no more
bombing came so lots of children went back to Britain. In 1940 in
autumn big bombing raids started up again this was called the
blitz. Another evacuation began in 1944 when Germany attacked
Britain with flying Bombs called doodlebugs. These were very
affective and Britain was badly damaged.

Evacuees
 Evacuation
The Government thought that evacuating children would be a good
idea to keep them safe.

Who was Evacuated?

People that were under school age would go with their mum so
that they were safe and because they might cry a lot for their
parents.
Also disabled people would get evacuated because if they were in
a wheel chair they would not be able to go very fast.

At the start of the Second World War, children that were living in
cities and towns were taken away from their homes to the
countryside, where bombs were not laid.

The children had labels on themselves with an address and their

full name. It was very important that your label would not come
off because then you would not be able to be evacuated.

Why Were Children Evacuated?

The reason why the government said people should be evacuated
was because they were worried that a new war might begin when
Hitler came to power in 1933.

Some of the families the children went to were rich so they got a
lot of food but some were very poor and could not afford much
food.

People were mostly evacuated by train. Some people got

evacuated twice because the first place they got evacuated to was
getting bombed. Evacuation saved thousands of lives.
 Waving Goodbye
What Was it Like to be an Evacuee?
Some of the families that children were sent to had cruel people
living in them. One girl, who was seven years old, got locked in a
cage with stale bread and water.
Some children were lucky and got to stay with people that they
knew. All of the children didn’t want to leave their family but it
had to be done. The people who looked after the evacuees thought
they had bad health and were dirty and smelly.

Some children got evacuated with their teacher. In the morning

children would go to school with their parents and their parents
would come with them to wave goodbye. Nearly every parent
would cry.

All children were issued with gas masks to protect them from any
gas bombs dropped by the German air force. These were very
hard to speak in and the glass windows soon misted up. They
contained charcoal to filter out poison in the air.

A year later London was bombed so children had to be evacuated

again. The new parents for the evacuees were called ‘Hosts’ and
the new home was called a ‘Billet’. When the evacuees arrived at
these ‘Reception Areas,’ the host family would decide which ones
they would take, usually picking children on their own, they didn’t
like taking full families.
These host families were responsible for the health of a child, so
upon arrival with their new family, the evacuee was often plunged
into a bath, and some had their heads shaved in case of lice
infestation and checked for Impetigo (a skin disease).

Most children had never been away from their families before and
didn’t know if they would ever see them again. Many of the
evacuees suffered from bed wetting, which was made worse by
the attitude of their angry ‘Host families’!
Because the host family were responsible for the health of the
child they often gave the child doses of foul tasting Cod Liver Oil.
Bath time was often an adventure in itself. The bath was not like
they are now, they were often made of tin and placed on the
kitchen floor!
The schools that the children attended were often overcrowded
due to the influx of evacuees. Classes could contain up to 70
children! How many are in your class?
There was a great shortage of materials and pupils often had to
share pencils.

For a lot of the children it was a time of great adventure, they had
a lot more time to play and explore because the adults were busy
with the war effort.
They would collect buttons, badges, pieces of bomb casing and
aircraft parts. Children would scour the countryside on their
bikes looking for souvenirs. A German plane was shot down near
a village and by the time the local police arrived at the scene it
had been stripped bare. Older children helped in local hospitals,
filled fire buckets and helped knit scarves and blankets to send to
the troops.

After the war was over, some of the children found it very hard to
settle with their real families because they had been away from
them for up to 5 years. A few children were NEVER re-united with
their families.

Making new from old

 During the Second World War clothing and fabric was rationed.
Women became expert at mending, altering garments and making
their own clothes. “Make do and Mend” became the byword of the
day. Pillowcases were made into baby clothes, father’s old trousers
might become a skirt for his daughter, and old parachute silk was
much prized as material to make blouses and nightdresses.
To save material, men’s’ jackets had fake pockets and trousers had turn-
ups.

Clothing rationing was introduced in June 1941 and continued until

March 1949. Coupons were issued to buy clothes and at first
everyone was given 66 coupons a year. This was later reduced as
the shortages intensified. For example a man’s jacket required 26
coupons; a woman’s blouse was 12 coupons, a pair of man’s shoes 5
coupons. Second-hand clothing did not need coupons as it had
generally been bought before the war and was found in jumble sales
or on market stalls.
The black-market trade was able to sell clothes that had been looted
from bombed out shops, warehouses and private homes.
Coupon free articles included head wear. A woman's hat was a
treasured item as it added glamour to an otherwise plain outfit.

Some handy hints

Outdoor clothes will wear better and last much longer if you
change them as soon as you get home, and if you sponge
them and iron them occasionally. Keep special clothes for
the house, the garden, the city etc., and wear them
alternatively. All your clothes will then be fresher."

"You can reproof your raincoat by rubbing beeswax over the

inside and then ironing it with a hot iron."

, like Bob Holman, were evacuated with their mothers but

never dry wet shoes before a fire. Put them on (shoe) trees
as soon as you take them off and stuff the toes with tissue
paper. Leather looks like new when treated with sour milk rubbed
in with a piece of cheesecloth." were sent away from home in
school groups and parties - u by either parent. The selection
process was "Brown shoes always look well polished if
rubbed each morning with the inside skin of a banana. Leave
them to dry and then polish them with a piece of dry rag."
like a cattle market where children waited to be picked out (or
not) by local women: at became known as the welfare state.
Silk Stockings will last much longer if rinsed out in warm
soapsuds before being worn, and every night when taken off."

Make Up

Following the outbreak of war, only essential goods were

manufactured. Make-up was considered non essential and
manufacture was stopped. There was such an outcry from women
that a limited range of products was allowed to be made. The
quality was inferior the reasoning behind the move was to keep
up the morale of the women during wartime. Ingenious ways were
invented by women to combat the shortages. Instead of lipstick,
beetroot juice was used to stain the lips.

Face powder was dry and flaky, as was lipstick. The quality was
affected by the shortages of ingredients such as fat, oil and
glycerine which meant that products had no emollients (the
ingredient that makes lipstick smooth and shiny and face cream
soft). Shortages of alcohol affected the production of and
colours limited but perfume and no cologne was made at all.
Instead of manufacturing nail varnish using nitro-cellulose, the
makers were using scrap film, which resulted in a tacky
substitute from the original recipe.

Millions of TTT

The look was a simply made up face with arched eyebrows

created with pencil, a powdered face and bright red Cupid’s bow
lips. As the manufacturers were forced to find new ingredients to
replace those not available, many new products appeared in
the shops such as artificial eye-lashes, fluid eyeliner and
cake eyeliner eyeshadow sticks, cream shadow and waterproof
creme mascara.
The cosmetic firms Gala, Rimmel and Yardley all put out new lip
pencils and launched new deeper colours which became hot sellers.
Ladies liked to be seen putting on their make-up in public, copying
the glamorous film stars in the movies. 'Beauty spot' patches were
also revived to complete the 'painted look'.

Some young children, Legslike Bob Holman, were evacuated with

their mothers but many older children were sent away from home in
 school groups and parties - unaccompanied by either parent. The
Leg make-up became a necessary item as stockings were very hard
to come by, unless you had a boyfriend in the American forces.
Socks were worn for casual use, but women were known to use such
things as gravy browning, tea bags or shoe polish to stain their legs
and drew a black line up the back of their legs to represent the
seam that stockings had in those days.

Shopping for clothes in Liverpool, 1910-1940

department store on the right

The 'Bond Street of the North'

For those who could afford it, shopping for clothes in Liverpool in
the period between the two World Wars must have been an
exciting experience; such was the choice and variety available in
Britain's greatest seaport.

It was also a period of transition, with gradual change taking

place in the 'pecking order' of garment retailers in particular.
The most prestigious shops, providing an exclusive made-
to-measure service, were still located in Bold Street, known
during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as the
'Bond Street of the North'.

Chief among these were Cripps, Sons & Co, T&S Bacon and De
Jong et Cie who, from as early as the 1860s onwards, had
catered for the county gentry and the mercantile elite, known as
'the carriage trade', at the top end of the social scale. Their
customers included the wives and daughters of wealthy local
ship owners and cotton brokers.
 Department stores
After the Bold Street shops came the large department
stores, headed by the biggest, George Henry Lee & Co
Ltd in Basnett Street, and followed by the Bon Marché in
Church Street, Owen Owens’s in London Road and Lewis's
in Ranelagh Street. Lee's customers included the families
of businessmen and members of the professions, such as
doctors and solicitors, while both Owen Owens’s and
Lewis's catered for the needs of the lower middle and
working-classes.

At the beginning of the twentieth century Lee's still

manufactured their garments themselves in workshops
located over their premises, which made them quite
expensive and placed them out of the reach of many
people. But, gradually, as the department stores began
to stock more reasonably-priced ready-made garments,
the better-off working-class families could afford to shop
at places like the Bon Marché and Lewis's. Such clothes
were often supplied to the retailers by local makers,
based in factories which had sprung up in several parts of
the city from about 1900 onwards to supply the ready-
made trade.

Personal loss and separation, as experienced here, and by

countless other young evacuees, had a profound effect on the
children directly concerned and those who bore witness to their
plight. Because it involved migration on a mass scale, evacuation
brought the needs of children into forefront. While most attention
was focused on those separated from their families, there was also
a raising awareness of the needs of disadvantaged, deprived or
poor children.

All this helped raise public awareness of the grim conditions

It is hoped that there will be reasonable supplies

of golden syrup, treacle and honey, and these are
good substitutes for cane and beet sugar.
Dates are rich source of sugar and if chopped
finely can replace sugar in many puddings and
cakes.
Saccharine is a chemical substitute for sugar
which possesses its flavouring qualities without its
food value. It is expensive but only a very small
quantity is required.
Certain vegetables in addition to beetroots, i.e.
carrots, and parsnips, contain a fair proportion of
sugar.
Fruits both fresh and dried and jam are good
sources of supply and the percentage of sugar in
milk is considerable.

How can Military Records help in my genealogy research?

Military records can often provide valuable information on

the veteran, as well as on all members of the family. For
example:

• Compiled Service Records:

Compiled service records consist of an envelope
containing card abstracts taken from muster rolls,
returns, pay vouchers, and other records. They will
provide you with your ancestor's rank, unit, date
mustered in and mustered out, basic biographical
information, medical information, and military
information.

• Pension Applications and Pension Payment

Records:
The National Archives also has pension applications
and records of pension payments for veterans, their
widows, and other heirs. The pension records in the
National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. are
based on service in the armed forces of the United
States between 1775 and 1916. Pension application
files usually provide the most genealogical
information. These files often contain supporting
documents such as: narratives of events during
service, marriage certificates, birth records, death
 certificates, pages from family Bibles, family letters,
depositions of witnesses, affidavits, discharge papers
and other supporting papers.
• Bounty Land:
Bounty land warrant application files relate to claims
based on wartime service between 1775 and March
3, 1855. If your ancestor served in the Revolutionary
War, War of 1812, early Indian Wars, or the Mexican
War, a search of these records may be worthwhile.
Bounty land records often contain documents similar
to those in pension files, with lots of genealogical
information. Many of the bounty land application files
relating to Revolutionary War and War of 1812
service have been combined with the pension files.
•
How do I begin?

There is no simple explanation for how to begin research

in military records. Your research path will depend on
aspects such as: what branch of service your ancestor was
in, which conflict, what dates, whether Regular Army or a
volunteer unit, whether your ancestor was an officer or
enlisted personnel, and whether there was a pension
application.

The approach to researching records of enlisted men,

officers, and for the different branches of the military is
described in this article: An Overview of Records at the
National Archives Relating to Military Service.

Compiled Military Service Records for Volunteers:

When researching volunteers who served in the military
for a particular war, start with the compiled military
service records. Begin by searching the appropriate name
indexes on NARA microfilm. If the compiled military
service records have not been reproduced on microfilm,
researchers may request to see the original records at the
National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

Regular Army:
Since the War Department did not compile military service
records for those who served in the Regular Army, start
your research with:

• Enlisted Men - Regular Army Enlistment Papers,

1798-1894
• Officers - Francis B. Heitman's Historical Register
• Dictionary of the United States Army, From Its
Organization, September 29, 1789, to March 2, 1903

Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire

CLEE with CLEETHORPES & the Hamlets of Thrunscoe & Weelsby.

Clee, with the township of Cleethorpes, and hamlets of

Thrunscoe and Weelsby, constituted a parish, 3 miles
south-east from the railway station of Great Grimsby, on
the southern shore of the mouth of the Humber and
the German ocean, in the parliamentary borough of Great
Grimsby, diocese and archdeaconry of Lincoln, deanery of
Great Grimsby, hundred of Bradley, Haverstoe, Caistor
union and Lindsey division, North Lincolnshire.

The village of Clee in 1851 contained 138 inhabitants and

with Weelsby 195 and 2221 acres of land. Cleethorpes,
with Thrunscoe, contained 1200 acres of land, and the
population in 1851 was 839. It has now (in 1861) over
1000 inhabitants, many new houses having been erected
at Cleethorpes during the last few years. The living is a
vicarage, of the annual value of about £170, in the gift of
the Bishop of Lincoln, and held by the Rev. William Price
Jones M.A.

The church of the Holy Trinity and St Mary is an interesting

object, built in the form of a cross, and the style of
architecture is Anglo-Norman. The tower is built of stones
which were procured from the sea, where the oyster beds
now are, at Cleethorpes.

Cleethorpes is a bathing place: it was formerly only a

fishing hamlet, but since the opening of the railway
from Manchester and Sheffield to Grimsby it has much
improved, and is occasionally crowded with visitors
brought by pleasure trains from the manufacturing
districts, and by the steamers from Hull. Omnibuses and
cars run several times a day to meet the trains and
packets at Grimsby and an extension of the railway
to Cleethorpes is in contemplation.

About thirty years ago, two or three bathing machines

were sufficient for the accommodation, but so rapidly has
this place risen to popularity that there are now forty
machines for bathing, and two warm bath houses. As late
as the year 1800 there were no lodging houses in the
place. At the present time there are over a hundred
lodging houses and four inns fit for the reception of
visitors in all classes of society. Amongst the latter may
be mentioned the Dolphin Hotel, which is situate fronting
the sea, with commanding views of the Humber, German
ocean, and the opposite Yorkshire coast; this old
established house is commodious and replete with every
comfort and convenience.

The Wesleyans have a chapel, erected in 1848, and the

Primitive Methodist chapel was erected in 1857.
The National school-room was built in 1857, partly by
subscription and Government grant. The school is
supported by voluntary contributions; and from September
till Trinity Sunday, divine service is held in the building
every Sunday afternoon. The Odd Fellows have a
commodious hall, built in 1853. This society
first commenced with five members on 1830, but it now
numbers over a hundred.

A little to the north of Clee village are three artificial

mounds, supposed to have been thrown up by the
Romanised Britons, and to be the sites of castellated
towers, erected for the purpose of repelling the
incursions of the Saxons. Cleethorpes is now a station for
coastguards, Government having purchased a number of
houses near the beacon for the men. The
Earl of Yarborough is Lord of the Manor of Cleethorpes; and
the principal landowners are Sidney Sussex College,
Cambridge; Richard Thorald, Esq.; G. F. Heneage Esq. MP
and Mr. John White.

Edna Climbed the Family Tree

There's been a change in Aunty Edna, we've noticed as of

late
she’s always reading history, or jotting down some date.
She's tracing back the family; we'll all have pedigrees,
Aunty Edna has a hobby; she's Climbing Family Trees

Poor Uncle Geoff does the cooking, and now, or so he

states,
There's been a change in Aunty Edna, we've noticed as of
late
He even has to wash the cups and the dinner plates.
Well, Aunty Edna can't be bothered; she's busy as a bee,
Compiling genealogy for the Family Tree.

She has not time to baby-sit, the curtains are a fright.

No buttons left on Geoff's shirt, the flowerbed's a sight.
She's given up her knitting, the serials on TV,
The only thing she does nowadays is climb the Family
 Tree.

The mail is all for Aunty Edna, it comes from far and wide.
Last week she got the proof she needs to start the 'other
side'
A monumental project - to that we all agree,
A worthwhile avocation - to climb the Family Tree.

There were pioneers and patriots mixed with our kith and
kin,
who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through
thick and thin.
But none stauncher than Edna, whose eyes light up with
glee,
Each time she finds a missing branch for the Family Tree.

To some it's just a hobby, to Aunty Edna it's much more.

She learns the joys and heartaches of those who went
before.
They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept -- and now
for you and me,
they live again in spirit around the Family Tree.

At last, she's nearly finished, and we are each exposed.

Life will be the same again, this we all suppose.
Aunty Edna will cook and sew, serve Tiffin with our tea.

So now, the story has been told,

of all our family, young and old.
All the names that are on the tree,
Helped in shaping you and me

There are Williams, Alfred’s and Richards by the score,

Even Mays, Mary’s and Alice’s to name a few more
But I have noticed of Wendy’s and Edna’s only two,
It's hard to build people just like me and you!

One things for sure, of this I know,

 this tree doesn't end; it will grow and grow.
You'll have nieces, daughters, son’s maybe,
who will share the tree with you and me.

As the years roll on, as you know they will,

there’ll be branches to add and more names still.
Some may be thorns, blossoms, or even nuts maybe
but all will add colour to our strange tree!

So PLEASE Wendy keep this safe and sound,

And as each year comes around
I'll add more pictures, stories and names too,
This tree will flourish with me and you.

OH! And by the way-, that cottage you dreamed of three

years ago
must be far too small for our family to grow.
I think a small village might be better for us all,
with shops a church, a pub and a grand town hall.

Now here's how I see it- what do you think?

Rosie - the stables, Daddy the printer covered in ink,
Nanny the Inn - taking in an odd stray,
Grandad Paddy on the farm - baling the hay.

Julie selling sweets and maybe Pokemon too,

Krystal in the café- buns for us two!
Grandad Hip kin - the policeman riding his bike,
Grandad Searle - keeping the park as nice as you like.

But what could you do to be part of this tale?

You - the town crier all hearty and hale?
Or maybe the vet or even a nurse?
I'll wait for a while to add one more verse…

I hope you enjoy this month’s news letter I have tried to add
a few different bits in for you all, please can we have a few
ideas for next month and then it gives us some idea of what
you would like to read about

Christine and I thank you for taking part in the group we do

enjoy all the chat
