106	John Reader WW2. In those days, Dickens Avenue Hillingdon was full of help and camaraderie. Because of the war effort, the local authority had removed metal gates and fences, so it was impossible to buy even locks or new keys. Consequently, friends and neighbours would just walk to houses to check on the occupants. The ladies had replaced the men in the work place - sometimes with half the salary. They had worked it out between themselves who would look after the children without losing out financially. Sometimes when the bombing was bad, teachers from school would come to one of the houses in Dickens for some children to have lessons. Everybody had shelters - indoor or outdoor - and they built a concrete shelter covering half the road. This shelter was for anyone's use, also great for children to play in. Brother Fred stepped out in front of a lorry from Southall, travelling to fast. He was in Hillingdon (Huts) hospital for 3 weeks. At the end of the war, the courts awarded Fred £50 compensation - that in those days was a lot of money. The big thing for boys in those days was collecting shrapnel. We had heard a bomb had hit the bungalows opposite the Allied Rec on the West Drayton Road, but we were kept away by the home guard. Were you to find a big piece of shrapnel, you'd be everyone's friend. At the end of our garden, an incendiary bomb had landed in the field. But although they were dropped to cause fires, no damage was done. That field after the war would become Stevesons Nursery. In later life, I would work there during my school holidays. Having Ike Williams Pig Farm on one side of Dickens and Crawley Chicken Farm on the other, including Thackery Close on the other, on hot days it ponged. Not many people know, at what we called top end of Dickens, there was a shop attached to a bungalow, owned by a Frenchman. His land grew fruit and vegetables, and when the boys hadn't been scrumping he also sold eating apples and eggs from the wandering chicken. I went in there one day; he made soldiers with led poured into moulds. He had armies, with all the tunics painted vivid colours - especially red. He gave me a British soldier who fought in the Napoleonic wars. Half way down Dickens, there was a half circle without the central island - that's where the first big bonfire was lit to celebrate the end of WW2 in Europe... but that's next. It was always thought men do the fighting; women do the worrying. These were now happy times with everyone pulling together. The end of the war came. Dickens Avenue Road shelters were pulled down, boys and girls were playing in the road or on the pavement, hopscotch or football, there were no cars, except 2 doors from us. A car was stationary in the front garden the entire war - I think the husband was away in the army. The car was hidden by tall weeds and flowers, plus petrol was on ration. Even though petrol was rationed, for the police, ambulances, agriculture and the like, it was essential they had fuel, so the authorities added a dye, to stop anyone using it. Should they do so, it was a prison sentence. Some discovered if the petrol was boiled using heat the colour would vanish... as one can imagine many times the house vanished as well! We would have football matches in the road - it was always top end (us) against bottom end (them). The friendliness of war time was over! People would moan when the ball (a tennis ball) went over their fence. We would all look the other way until the boy who kicked it over retrieved it. We always won... My funniest moment for years happened then, we were picking teams and one boy said,: "I'll have Arf" and this tiny tot said: "I'll have the other Arf" - we all fell about laughing for about 10 minutes. Funny how all them years ago and it sticks in ones mind. Basically in those days we were surrounded by fields with most of the boys learning to swim in Sabeys pits or the Grand Union canal. When my Dad's brother used to visit us, being from the city, he always mentioned we were all country bumpkins... When one thinks how London has expanded, we are now the London Borough of Hillingdon. Brother Bill joined the Royal Navy for 7&5 before that he was employed as a Telegram boy. Can you imagine how long it would take to hear any news from a distance? His office was the Post Office in West Drayton. His journey there after leaving home was across the wooden bridge to Yiewsley. One morning, he was just crossing the bridge on his bike when he spotted a body... after carrying on, his conscience got the better of him He went back down to the water's edge and grabbed the arm showing above the water just as the bike slid in. It was a Taylor's dummy! He was then reprimanded for his uniform being muddy and for being late! Later, he would become an officer in the British Royal Navy. People started to move; some of the boys are doing their National Service, Brother Fred's in the RAF and a few years later I'd be joining HMS VIGO a battle Class Destroyer for my National Service in the Royal Navy. Thinking back, could it have been possible to have had a better introduction to real life for all the children during and after WW2 than living at Dickens Avenue, Hillingdon, Middlesex? A place for fantastic kids with fantastic parents. I left Dickens to marry Kitty for the greatest day of my life. https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/8146/Snapshot-of-memories	Reader, John S.

115	Mary Ann Bewick was born in December 1830 in Hetton le Hole, Durham, England, and christened on December 5, 1830. She was the eldest of 14 siblings in the Bewick family. Throughout her life, she lived in various locations in Durham, including 21 Vine Street in Tunstall and 6 Kenton Row in Hetton Le Hole. In 1851, Mary Ann married Robert Smith in Esh, Durham, and together they had four sons: John, William, James, and Robert. Tragically, Robert Smith passed away in 1859, leaving Mary Ann to raise her children alone. Mary Ann Bewick had three children born out of wedlock, all carrying the Smith surname. The first was Robert Smith, born on July 22, 1861, in Hetton le Hole, Durham. The second was George Smith, born around 1863, also in Hetton le Hole. The third, Thomas Davison Smith, was born on July 9, 1868, in Hetton le Hole. Despite the challenges associated with raising children outside of marriage in the 19th century, Mary Ann provided for and raised her children, ensuring they were part of the close-knit Bewick family community. In 1873, she remarried, this time to Alexander Davison, expanding her family further. Despite the challenges of widowhood and remarriage, Mary Ann managed to keep her family together and continued to live in Hetton le Hole, where she remained close to her siblings and extended family. Throughout her life, Mary Ann was known by several names, including Ann Bewick, Mary Ann Smith, and Mary Ann Davison, reflecting her life's journey through marriage and family. She was a resilient woman who adapted to the significant changes in her life, including the loss of her first husband and the responsibilities that came with being a single mother in 19th-century England. Mary Ann passed away on February 21, 1905, at the age of 74, in her hometown of Hetton le Hole. She was laid to rest in the same community where she was born and spent her entire life, leaving behind a legacy of strength and perseverance for her descendants.	Bewick, Mary Ann (I23)

120	My 3rd great-grandmother's journey to Chile in 1888, undertaken all by herself, paints a vivid picture of remarkable courage and determination. At a time when long sea voyages were fraught with uncertainty and danger, especially for a woman traveling alone, her decision to set sail speaks volumes about her resilience and pioneering spirit. Whether she was seeking new opportunities, reuniting with loved ones, or escaping challenges in her homeland, her solo voyage across the seas marks her as an extraordinary figure in my family's history.

129	On her Baptism Record: The phrase "Ehefrau des Hauswirths Quast" is in German and translates to: "Wife of the farmer Quast" or more literally: "Wife of the householder Quast." Let’s break it down: Ehefrau = wife des = of the (genitive article) Hauswirths (modern spelling: Hauswirts) = householder, farmer, or landowner (an old-fashioned word) Quast = a surname So, it’s identifying a woman as the wife of Mr. Quast, who was a Hauswirth — a person who owned or managed a household or farm, especially in rural or village contexts in 18th–19th century Germany.

135	Probably born out of wedlock. First child of Mary Ann Bewick. In the census of 1841 she is staying with her grandparents.	Bewick, Dorothy (I190)
136	Reconstructed German: Wegen eingetretener Mundklemme wurde das Kind auf die Pfarre gebracht und in der Eile getauft. English translation: Due to the onset of trismus (lockjaw), the child was brought to the parish and hastily baptized. Notes: "Mundklemme" refers to a medical condition — trismus or lockjaw — often associated with tetanus or complications at birth. "auf die Pfarre gebracht" means brought to the rectory or parish priest. "in der Eile getauft" indicates an emergency baptism, often done if the child’s life was in danger. This kind of entry was common in 18th–19th century birth/baptismal records, especially in cases of infant illness or complications.	Kramer, Karl Heinrich Wilhelm (I680)
137	Research Note – Birth Year Discrepancy: Alicia Smith Kramer > Name: Alicia Smith Kramer Actual Birth Year: 1899 Place of Birth: Antofagasta, Chile Younger Sibling: Alexander Smith Kramer (born 1901) Place of Baptism: Iquique, Chile Year of Baptism: 1901 Civil Registration Record: Original missing, but indexed in 1899 register Explanation: Although Alicia Smith Kramer's original civil birth record is missing from the 1899 Antofagasta register, her name does appear in the 1899 birth index, confirming her birth that year. Her official documents later list 1901 as her year of birth, due to her baptism in Iquique that same year — a baptism that likely occurred when she was already two years old. This baptismal date was erroneously adopted as her birth year in subsequent civil or legal documents. Additional confirmation of the 1899 birth year comes from the fact that her younger brother, Alexander Smith Kramer, was born in 1901, making it biologically impossible for Alicia to have been born that same year — they were not twins. Conclusion: Alicia Smith Kramer was born in 1899 and baptised in 1901. The 1901 date used in official records stems from the baptismal event, not her actual birth. The indexed entry for 1899 serves as surviving proof of her birth registration, even though the original certificate is missing. For accuracy in genealogical and historical records, 1899 should be retained as her true year of birth, with a footnote regarding the 1901 baptism. -- Nota de investigación – Discrepancia en el año de nacimiento: Alicia Smith Kramer > Nombre: Alicia Smith Kramer Año real de nacimiento: 1899 Lugar de nacimiento: Antofagasta, Chile Hermano menor: Alexander Smith Kramer (nacido en 1901) Lugar de bautismo: Iquique, Chile Año de bautismo: 1901 Registro civil: El acta original está ausente, pero su nombre aparece en el índice de nacimientos de 1899 Explicación: Aunque no se conserva el acta original de nacimiento de Alicia Smith Kramer del año 1899 en Antofagasta, su nombre sí figura en el índice oficial de nacimientos de ese año, lo que confirma que nació en 1899. Sin embargo, en registros oficiales posteriores aparece como nacida en 1901, debido a que fue bautizada en Iquique en ese año, cuando ya tenía aproximadamente dos años. Este registro de bautismo fue utilizado erróneamente como su año de nacimiento oficial en documentos civiles o legales posteriores. La confirmación adicional del año de nacimiento correcto viene del hecho de que su hermano menor, Alexander Smith Kramer, nació en 1901, lo cual descarta por completo que Alicia pudiera haber nacido en ese mismo año, ya que no eran gemelos. Conclusión: Alicia Smith Kramer nació en 1899 y fue bautizada en 1901. El año 1901 que figura en documentos oficiales corresponde al evento del bautismo, no a su nacimiento real. La aparición de su nombre en el índice de nacimientos de 1899 sirve como prueba válida de su registro civil, pese a la pérdida del acta original. Para fines genealógicos e históricos, debe considerarse el año 1899 como su verdadero año de nacimiento, y se recomienda incluir una nota aclaratoria sobre el bautismo en 1901. ---	Smith Kramer, Ida Wilhelmine Elisabeth (I20)

147	The Life of Ann Dove (c.1812–1892) Ann Dove was born around the year 1812 in South Shields, a coastal town in County Durham, England. She was christened shortly after, on 14 February 1813, in St. Hilda Church in South Shields. Her parents were John Dove and Ann, whose maiden name is not known. Nothing is recorded about her early life or education. On 28 March 1830, at approximately 18 years old, Ann married John Bewick in West Rainton, County Durham. John was born in 1806 in Little Eppleton, Durham. The couple settled in the Hetton le Hole area, which was a growing mining community at the time. Ann and John had a total of 14 children between 1830 and 1856. Most of their children were born in Hetton le Hole. Her husband John Bewick died in 1884 at the age of 77. At that point, Ann was a widow and lived for another eight years. She died on 29 March 1892, at around 80 years of age. She was buried on 1 April 1892 at St. Aiden Church in New Herrington, County Durham. Some of her children stayed in the Durham area, while others emigrated to Australia and the United States, indicating the family eventually became spread across continents. There are no specific records of Ann’s occupation or daily activities, but based on the time and location, she likely dedicated much of her life to raising her children and managing the household.	Dove, Ann (I25)
148	THE LOSS OF HMS NATAL HMS Natal was a 'Warrior' type cruiser of 13,550 tons. On 30 December 1915 while anchored at Cromarty, there was an explosion aboard caused, as determined by a court of enquiry, by faulty ammunition. The Captain was hosting a film party and had invited a number of guests including his wife and children. While a number of the crew were ashore at a football match, the explosion and the subsequent sinking of the Natal resulted in the deaths of 422 crew and visitors.	Farley, Albert (I281)

WW2. In those days, Dickens Avenue Hillingdon was full of help and camaraderie.

It was always thought men do the fighting; women do the worrying. These were now happy times with everyone pulling together.

A car was stationary in the front garden the entire war - I think the husband was away in the army. The car was hidden by tall weeds and flowers, plus petrol was on ration. Even though petrol was rationed, for the police, ambulances, agriculture and the like, it was essential they had fuel, so the authorities added a dye, to stop anyone using it.

We would have football matches in the road - it was always top end (us) against bottom end (them). The friendliness of war time was over! People would moan when the ball (a tennis ball) went over their fence. We would all look the other way until the boy who kicked it over retrieved it. We always won...

My funniest moment for years happened then, we were picking teams and one boy said,: "I'll have Arf" and this tiny tot said: "I'll have the other Arf" - we all fell about laughing for about 10 minutes. Funny how all them years ago and it sticks in ones mind.

Basically in those days we were surrounded by fields with most of the boys learning to swim in Sabeys pits or the Grand Union canal. When my Dad's brother used to visit us, being from the city, he always mentioned we were all country bumpkins... When one thinks how London has expanded, we are now the London Borough of Hillingdon.

It was a Taylor's dummy! He was then reprimanded for his uniform being muddy and for being late! Later, he would become an officer in the British Royal Navy. People started to move; some of the boys are doing their National Service, Brother Fred's in the RAF and a few years later I'd be joining HMS VIGO a battle Class Destroyer for my National Service in the Royal Navy.

Thinking back, could it have been possible to have had a better introduction to real life for all the children during and after WW2 than living at Dickens Avenue, Hillingdon, Middlesex? A place for fantastic kids with fantastic parents.

I left Dickens to marry Kitty for the greatest day of my life.

Mary Ann Bewick was born in December 1830 in Hetton le Hole, Durham, England, and christened on December 5, 1830. She was the eldest of 14 siblings in the Bewick family. Throughout her life, she lived in various locations in Durham, including 21 Vine Street in Tunstall and 6 Kenton Row in Hetton Le Hole.

In 1851, Mary Ann married Robert Smith in Esh, Durham, and together they had four sons: John, William, James, and Robert. Tragically, Robert Smith passed away in 1859, leaving Mary Ann to raise her children alone.

Mary Ann Bewick had three children born out of wedlock, all carrying the Smith surname. The first was Robert Smith, born on July 22, 1861, in Hetton le Hole, Durham. The second was George Smith, born around 1863, also in Hetton le Hole. The third, Thomas Davison Smith, was born on July 9, 1868, in Hetton le Hole. Despite the challenges associated with raising children outside of marriage in the 19th century, Mary Ann provided for and raised her children, ensuring they were part of the close-knit Bewick family community.

In 1873, she remarried, this time to Alexander Davison, expanding her family further. Despite the challenges of widowhood and remarriage, Mary Ann managed to keep her family together and continued to live in Hetton le Hole, where she remained close to her siblings and extended family.

Throughout her life, Mary Ann was known by several names, including Ann Bewick, Mary Ann Smith, and Mary Ann Davison, reflecting her life's journey through marriage and family. She was a resilient woman who adapted to the significant changes in her life, including the loss of her first husband and the responsibilities that came with being a single mother in 19th-century England.

Mary Ann passed away on February 21, 1905, at the age of 74, in her hometown of Hetton le Hole. She was laid to rest in the same community where she was born and spent her entire life, leaving behind a legacy of strength and perseverance for her descendants.

My 3rd great-grandmother's journey to Chile in 1888, undertaken all by herself, paints a vivid picture of remarkable courage and determination. At a time when long sea voyages were fraught with uncertainty and danger, especially for a woman traveling alone, her decision to set sail speaks volumes about her resilience and pioneering spirit. Whether she was seeking new opportunities, reuniting with loved ones, or escaping challenges in her homeland, her solo voyage across the seas marks her as an extraordinary figure in my family's history.

Obituary for Gary Carl Bewick
Gary Carl Bewick, age 59 of Ephrata, WA, died March 20th, 2015 in his home surrounded and supported by family. He fought an aggressive cancer since the summer of 2014. He is survived by his brothers David, Ike, and Paul Bewick with their respective wives Jenny, Marla, and Pam, his nephew and godson Jason Bewick, nephews Glenn Bewick, Robert Bewick, Joey Lakoduk, nieces Brandi Bewick, Carisa Haven, Audra Hess, and Miranda Lakoduk. Predeceased by his father Glen Bewick, mother Helen Booher, and stepfather Bill Booher.

Gary was born in Wenatchee, WA, September 20th, 1955 the third son of Glen and Helen Bewick’s four boys. He grew up in East Wenatchee and graduated high school there in 1974. He was known for his smile and charm. He had a talent for photography and a knack for technical things.

He moved to Bakersfield, CA to follow a career at Time Warner as a quality control technician. In 1992, he survived a serious brain disease. As a result, he retired early and returned to Washington.

Gary was the quintessential uncle. He was loving and caring, obnoxious and jibbing. He kept favorite beverages for friends and family cold in his fridge. He was always willing to help anyway he could. Those who loved him will sorely miss him.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

On her Baptism Record:

The phrase "Ehefrau des Hauswirths Quast" is in German and translates to:

"Wife of the farmer Quast" or more literally: "Wife of the householder Quast."

Let’s break it down:

Ehefrau = wife

des = of the (genitive article)

Hauswirths (modern spelling: Hauswirts) = householder, farmer, or landowner (an old-fashioned word)

Quast = a surname

So, it’s identifying a woman as the wife of Mr. Quast, who was a Hauswirth — a person who owned or managed a household or farm, especially in rural or village contexts in 18th–19th century Germany.

Reconstructed German:

Wegen eingetretener Mundklemme wurde das Kind auf die Pfarre gebracht und in der Eile getauft.

English translation:

Due to the onset of trismus (lockjaw), the child was brought to the parish and hastily baptized.

Notes:

"Mundklemme" refers to a medical condition — trismus or lockjaw — often associated with tetanus or complications at birth.

"auf die Pfarre gebracht" means brought to the rectory or parish priest.

"in der Eile getauft" indicates an emergency baptism, often done if the child’s life was in danger.

This kind of entry was common in 18th–19th century birth/baptismal records, especially in cases of infant illness or complications.

Research Note – Birth Year Discrepancy: Alicia Smith Kramer

> Name: Alicia Smith Kramer
Actual Birth Year: 1899
Place of Birth: Antofagasta, Chile
Younger Sibling: Alexander Smith Kramer (born 1901)
Place of Baptism: Iquique, Chile
Year of Baptism: 1901
Civil Registration Record: Original missing, but indexed in 1899 register

Explanation:

Although Alicia Smith Kramer's original civil birth record is missing from the 1899 Antofagasta register, her name does appear in the 1899 birth index, confirming her birth that year.

Her official documents later list 1901 as her year of birth, due to her baptism in Iquique that same year — a baptism that likely occurred when she was already two years old. This baptismal date was erroneously adopted as her birth year in subsequent civil or legal documents.

Additional confirmation of the 1899 birth year comes from the fact that her younger brother, Alexander Smith Kramer, was born in 1901, making it biologically impossible for Alicia to have been born that same year — they were not twins.

Conclusion:

Alicia Smith Kramer was born in 1899 and baptised in 1901.

The 1901 date used in official records stems from the baptismal event, not her actual birth.

The indexed entry for 1899 serves as surviving proof of her birth registration, even though the original certificate is missing.

For accuracy in genealogical and historical records, 1899 should be retained as her true year of birth, with a footnote regarding the 1901 baptism.

Nota de investigación – Discrepancia en el año de nacimiento: Alicia Smith Kramer

> Nombre: Alicia Smith Kramer
Año real de nacimiento: 1899
Lugar de nacimiento: Antofagasta, Chile
Hermano menor: Alexander Smith Kramer (nacido en 1901)
Lugar de bautismo: Iquique, Chile
Año de bautismo: 1901
Registro civil: El acta original está ausente, pero su nombre aparece en el índice de nacimientos de 1899

Explicación:

Aunque no se conserva el acta original de nacimiento de Alicia Smith Kramer del año 1899 en Antofagasta, su nombre sí figura en el índice oficial de nacimientos de ese año, lo que confirma que nació en 1899.

Sin embargo, en registros oficiales posteriores aparece como nacida en 1901, debido a que fue bautizada en Iquique en ese año, cuando ya tenía aproximadamente dos años. Este registro de bautismo fue utilizado erróneamente como su año de nacimiento oficial en documentos civiles o legales posteriores.

La confirmación adicional del año de nacimiento correcto viene del hecho de que su hermano menor, Alexander Smith Kramer, nació en 1901, lo cual descarta por completo que Alicia pudiera haber nacido en ese mismo año, ya que no eran gemelos.

Conclusión:

Alicia Smith Kramer nació en 1899 y fue bautizada en 1901.

El año 1901 que figura en documentos oficiales corresponde al evento del bautismo, no a su nacimiento real.

La aparición de su nombre en el índice de nacimientos de 1899 sirve como prueba válida de su registro civil, pese a la pérdida del acta original.

Para fines genealógicos e históricos, debe considerarse el año 1899 como su verdadero año de nacimiento, y se recomienda incluir una nota aclaratoria sobre el bautismo en 1901.

The Life of Ann Dove (c.1812–1892)

Ann Dove was born around the year 1812 in South Shields, a coastal town in County Durham, England. She was christened shortly after, on 14 February 1813, in St. Hilda Church in South Shields.

Her parents were John Dove and Ann, whose maiden name is not known. Nothing is recorded about her early life or education.

On 28 March 1830, at approximately 18 years old, Ann married John Bewick in West Rainton, County Durham. John was born in 1806 in Little Eppleton, Durham. The couple settled in the Hetton le Hole area, which was a growing mining community at the time.

Ann and John had a total of 14 children between 1830 and 1856. Most of their children were born in Hetton le Hole.

Her husband John Bewick died in 1884 at the age of 77. At that point, Ann was a widow and lived for another eight years.

She died on 29 March 1892, at around 80 years of age. She was buried on 1 April 1892 at St. Aiden Church in New Herrington, County Durham.

Some of her children stayed in the Durham area, while others emigrated to Australia and the United States, indicating the family eventually became spread across continents. There are no specific records of Ann’s occupation or daily activities, but based on the time and location, she likely dedicated much of her life to raising her children and managing the household.

THE LOSS OF HMS NATAL
HMS Natal was a 'Warrior' type cruiser of 13,550 tons. On 30 December 1915 while anchored at Cromarty, there was an explosion aboard caused, as determined by a court of enquiry, by faulty ammunition. The Captain was hosting a film party and had invited a number of guests including his wife and children. While a number of the crew were ashore at a football match, the explosion and the subsequent sinking of the Natal resulted in the deaths of 422 crew and visitors.
