The Hysterical Hystorian

For occasional articles, snippets and announcements by the Resident Historians.These articles are presented in date order, but if you explore the back-catalogue, you may find much of interest. Historical information doesn't really go out of date! Any member of the F&DLHS may add an entry or make a comment to an existing entry once they have got their userID and password from the Webmaster.

If you'd like to publish any interesting material about the history of East Anglia on the site, then please send an email to the Resident Historians at Andrew.Clarke@Foxearth.org.uk and we'll add it.

Family Historians have their own area on the site, so look there if your main interest is in tracing your family history.

The Savages of Cavendish

Back in April (2005), Andrew (no relation) posted an item on the Hysterical Historian about the lives and bequests of George and Emma Savage, and their connection with Cavendish.

By way of addition, I commented that some descendants of a Glemsford family were carrying out some research which involved the Savages.

The starting point for this work was a group of letters written by Emma Savage between 1900 and 1913.

"Some research" turned into a mammoth hunt, parts of which are still incomplete, but the bulk of our findngs including transcripts of the letters (and carrying all sorts of caveats where uncertainties remain) can be followed through the Glemsford website at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/stephen.clarke/05brownintro.html

Any comments or additions will be gratefully received.
