Email: My Interaction with ‘Andrew North’ of the Northants Records Office! (19.11.2023)

Interestingly, when I have visited the Archives in person (in the past) – or have had my staff do so on my behalf – I have never encountered this level of unprofessional behaviour involving the deliberate manifestation of disrespect and obstructive behaviour from a Civil Servant. You may rest assured that an official complaint will be lodged regarding your conduct in this manner.

WWII: Did Duddington Possess a Home Guard Platoon? (19.10.2023)

I keep a website dedicated to my paternal (‘Wyles’) family name – centred on the Northants village of Duddington – where my family lived for at least the last 500 years (and perhaps longer). Although my last direct relative left around 1906 – and that I live in South Greater London – we have visited Duddington around ten-times for research field trips since March 14th, 2009, and have amassed a large dossier of historical data! This can all be accessed at the above link. I am still researching whether Duddington possessed a Home Guard Platoon during WWII – and as of yet – this puzzle has NOT been solved!

Will Historical Evidence Demonstrate that King Arthur was a Historical “Celtic” Figure? (28.9.2023)

A long overdue study of ‘Celtic’ King’s, Queens, Princes and Princesses who lived and ruled in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Wales during the 5th and 6th centuries CE! Modern archaeologists know of these graves but are not encouraged to investigate the burials due to these people being ‘Celtic’ – and not directly linked to the Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Dutch and modern Germans who formed the ‘official’ royal lineages. Genetic study of the DNA of the early (“Celtic”) populations of the British Isles (c, 10,000 BP – or 8,000 BCE) has confirmed that the skin “tone” or “colour” of these people was “dark to black”! Overtime, presumably through the effects of exposure to climate and “mixing” with other ethnic groups – the skin-tone “lightened”.

Genealogy: ‘DARIИGOLD’ – Provenance of a First-Name! (22.9.2023)

I hope this lady lived a long and happy life free from pain – as out of her genetics I have come into being -and so have my children! Over the years I have broached the subject of her ‘first’ or ‘Christian’ name – ‘Daringold’ – with a number of academic experts who state that they have never encountered this name before and that it must be the consequence of a ‘copying’ mistake or ‘hearing’ error! This certainly happens as in the past (particularly the 17th century CE) the English languish was not yet ‘Standardised’ and illiteracy abounded! Scribes (or ‘Scriveners’) were highly skilled – but these educated individuals often spelt the same word in different ways – even when this word appeared on the same page (Shakespeare was famous for ding this in his original texts)!

DPRK: September 8th 1948 – the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the North Korean Socialist State! (15.9.2023)

All participants once again deeply embraced the conviction that proud victory, glory, and endless prosperity will unfold in the future of our Republic thanks to the excellent ideology and leadership of the Great Leader and the united power of the popular masses firmly united around the Party Central Committee!

The Central Reporting Conference to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea upholds the ideology and leadership of great Comrade Kim Jong Un with single-minded loyalty, raises the banner of our nation-first principle, further strengthens and shines with the dignity and national power of Socialist Korea – and builds a bright future for the Juche powerhouse. It powerfully demonstrated the Revolutionary spirit of the entire people and the soldiers of the People’s Army who will move forward together! (End)

St Nicholas Church: Dame Brownlowe’s Tomb – Erected in Sutton Parish Church 1699-1700! (9.9.2023)

Obviously, ‘water’ is a very special and divine substance for the Christian religion as it washes away sins and through its purifying agency – allows the ‘Holy Spirit’ to enter the minds, hearts and bodies of those being baptised! This is why our family was very grateful for the care and attention we received – as we were the proverbial ‘weary traveller’ in need of sustenance! As our children habitually took to drawing a colouring in pictures (in the wonderfully equipped children’s section) – myself and Gee traversed the structure – recording in photograph and video all the data we could find!
