The Observer "Dramatis Personae" column. 22.05.38:

"The orchestra director of the Victoria Palace Mr George Windeatt has come to the conclusion that theatres "God Saves the King" that winds up performances is treated with undue perfunctoriness. He has accordingly rescored it and has it played in full solmenity at all performances and with great effect. The Victoria Palace musical-comedy "Me and My Girl" has now run for six months and is still playing to about £4000 a week - one of the biggest post-war musical successes."

Hi Sandra, the 1881 census gives a James Samuel Windeatt born 1861 Plymouth a photographer living with his father John a hairderesser in Fore Street Callington Cornwall. I haven't found him in other census, is he one of your kin...Allan

Hello Allan

Thanks for this - apologies for the delay in replying but I have been away on holiday.

James Samuel WINDEATT is not one of my "kin" but we do know about him - just after 1881 he left for the States where he became quite a well-known theatrical photographer and his photos still come up for sale fairly regularly:

There was another Windeatt photographer in the States - a William - but we still haven't worked out who he was - perhaps a relative of James Samuel . . .

Thanks again,

Sandra

You may remember that last year I wrote an account of the men who had received the Freedom of the Borough of Totnes which included Francis Knowles Windeatt. He received this award, along with three other Totnes men, on their return from volunteering for the Boer War. I have just finished an account of some of their experiences in South Africa, the reacion of the people at home and those of the volunteers. This does include letters written by Mr Windeatt that were published in the local newspaper at the time and some sent to Totnes Grammar School and published in their magazine which really kept Totnes informed.
If you are interested it can be purchased from Totnes Image Bank for £5 plus £1 postage in the UK.

Anna / Val thank you for responding to my queries on Francis Knowles Windeatt and his descendants. I would greatly appreciate any information no matter how small re his time with the 5th Devons. Val I will contact the Totnes image bank. Again many thanks.

(Sarah) Ellen Windeatt (born 1857) married my great grandfather John Cooke (born 1846) in Manchester, 1905. It was the second marriage of both.
The 1911 census is interesting because, although Ellen is recorded in the census, her details are then crossed out (but still legible enough to identify her) - but you wouldn't find this recorded in any transcript or index. Perhaps she was working away from home that day? I would be happy to provide more details on this family.
By the way - I am impressed with the excellent Windeatt web site.

Hi Mike

Thanks for getting in touch and for the compliments about the site. I would be *very* interested in any more information you have about Sarah Ellen because, until you got in touch, we didn't know what had happened to her after her first marriage. I assume you have seen the little bit that we do know on William's page:

http://www.windeatt.f2s.com/windeatt/horra...williampg.htm#ellen

Curious about the 1911 census - I haven't seen it. I wonder if she could have died - or perhaps it was discovered that she had been counted elsewhere. Do you know if she ever had any children?

Could you contact me via email (at the bottom of most pages). I can't promise to answer very soon because I have some exams coming up but they will all be over after 13th October - when I hope to get down to some family history backlogs that have mounted up.

And apologies to everyone else who is awaiting replies from me . . . I will be getting in touch in a bit . . .

p.s. while I'm here, I can mention that Phil told me about an inventory for sale on eBay and I have bought it. I will transcribe it and add to the site and then send it to the Totnes Museum to put with their other Windeatt documents. It is an inventory of the goods of Mary Windeatt, the wife of William Fabian of the Totnes tree. Her maiden name was KNOWLES and she was the grandmother of Francis Knowles WINDEATT of whom there has been some correspondence below.

She appears in the West Country Poets book - here's a transcription:

Thanks Phil.
