- There is a friendly cat who rejoices in the name of Mr Cat. He has moved in with my friends Amy and John in Maryland, not far from Baltimore and DC, but John is allergic to him. They have neutered him and given him his shots and he is in good health. All the no-kill shelters are full and he’s too old (four-ish) to stand much of a chance at a shelter where he might be euthanised. Do you know anyone local who can find him a home?
- It looks as though I’ll be in the area of the original Cambridge the week after next, in case pubmeets might be happening. :)
- The fifth sentence of the 56th page of the closest book to me is: Bydd y llyffaint yn amadael â thi a’th dai, ac â’th weision a’th bobl, ac ni cheir hwy yn unman ond yn y Neil. The frogs will leave you and your houses and your servants and your people and will not remain(?) in any place but in the Nile.
Mr cat is awesome! :)
I would offer him a home but I’m in the UK :(
Hi
With regard to your family history. Augusta Eamer married Nathaniel Kemp and their SON was Charles Eamer Kempe. Charles added the E on Kemp to make it look more old fashioned as he was in to Gothic art. Nathaniel was a rich man…I’ve an idea that parts of Brighton are named after him. Augusta’s father was Sir John Eamer one time Lord Mayor of London.
Regards
Wendy
Hello. How did you find me?
Ah, I see where the problem was: I had Augusta being Charles’s wife, whereas she was actually his mother. So:
I’m Thomas Thurman, my father is Mike Thurman; his father is Robert Thurman; his mother was Madeleine Shum; her father was Walter Shum; his father was the Reverend Frederick Shum; his parents were George Shum MP and Ann Samler; Ann’s parents were Harman Samler and Ann Starr, and her sister was Mary Samler, who married Sir John Eamer, whose daughter was Augusta Caroline Eamer, who married Nathaniel Kemp (who apparently built Ovingdean Hall! I’m glad you brought him to my attention) whose son was Charles Eamer Kempe, who made all that stained glass. Thank you!
