Ancestry and True Tales

Teresa Carroll  -  studied CLASSICS, Dublin and Continent -   PLATO and HARMONY and GREEK THOUGHT - WORKED WITH A SCULPTOR MANCHESTER

These pages ahead branch into family lines of those who owe their birth to Teresa Carroll born Dublin 1840-1882 Manchester  
 ( great-grandmother to us all ) … If she had died with her mother at the birth then we would not exist … we are mere chance …

…  I began this File autumn 2011 of my Great-Aunts BESSIE Martha and ANNIE Agnes the Misses Williams sisters of my grandmother Mary Helena Gordon m George Ernest Gordon from my files of notes and typescripts, invitations, gifts, letters, general memorabilia, photographs,  including my `stark lines` a form of accurate Diary I kept  ( Bessie, Annie, Mary are 3 of the 5 daughters of  Teresa Carroll Classicist wife of the Superior Silversmith & Inventor John Williams both of Southern Ireland …

… Two other daughters (Manchester Butler branches) are from JULIA (2nd  name ?) m Butler   and TERESA (2nd name ?)  m brother of above Butler .    A joke from our ATS girls Win Gordon to cousin Julie Butler 1940s was   `biggest Roman Catholic Mafia in Manni - two Butler brothers married two Williams sisters …`  The reality is that they are all organising early WELFARE Southern Ireland a little and MANCHESTER and LIVERPOOL & LONDON … a low profile kept - histories of those times will explain to the Reader why this was necessary …  “ OUR BILL MAYOR OF MANCHESTER …”     

…  I shall have you in this little Family history to understand the quality of these 5 daughters of TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST and her husband JOHN WILLIAMS Superior Silversmith & inventor linked to technology …
 
The family member and friend Georges-ANDRE MALRAUX from 1937 SUMMER will refer to Mary, Bessie and Annie again and again as    “ my intellectual equals … this is my family as well … ”

… It is he Georges-Andre Colonel Malraux speaking in the 1950s-1970s  who could remember the photo album of the life of Mary Gordon and her families … it was said to have been destroyed 1939 the commencement of 2nd World War … & he could describe the honey-moon photos of 1890 of Mary Helena and George Gordon their 2 months travelling on horseback Southern Ireland staying with her cousins the Families Murphy, Carroll, and O`Brien   :   see my print-out on FACEBOOK from Debrett Peerage 1953 …

NB:    RECORDS :     the `POLKA DOT` wedding of George & Mary, as it was called, should be somewhere MANCHESTER Archives ?    Annie said it was in the newspapers … I have her description, she a 10 year old one of the bridesmaids in white with a scarlet sash, tiny baskets of flowers :    Sister Mary, 8 years superior training millinery,  had designed and made everything with staff = her Milliners paid for all the materials …   “ And it was a great advertisement for them … & she continued to represent them when she and George made a home in London 1892  ”   …  The Millinery House Manchester might have been called  “ MILLICENT ”  said Esther Gordon Potter her youngest child  (born 1913) , mother of Richard, Jennifer, Kathryn Potter …   

The death of cousin RICHARD Christmas Day 2011 AD added sadness to the New Year 2012 … but had me begin an `Appreciation`  of my Wartime cousin 6 years younger than me  (1939 his birth to 1947/ and some mention of we cousins Pilgrimage to GREECE 1966 with Yiannis chief driver  “ I go to Athens to see my Mother - two days and we will arrive”   (it took longer with 6 of us Richard & Mea, Jennifer and baby Elisabeth, Kathryn and Greta )   …

… The two pieces of work will flow into one :    But I use big titles to separate out … sometimes, of course, the family histories will flow into one.   So that here you have some part of the SAGA of we who are CHANCE … I do hope the families descended from TERESA CARROLL will have a CLASSICIST evolve … perhaps to continue her work :    `If you are sitting comfortably I will begin`  … at the moment February 2012 the two pieces of work are between 2 files on this Computer … I may have to print out two of them to get all the information in  :      
 
MEMO :     b 1839/1840 = only child of Teresa nee Murphy deceased at time of her birth …   
(mother Teresa Murphy of the shipping agents & other businesses of Dublin )  “ she our Grandmother Murphy we never knew, her father a `well-to-do` Blacksmith Murphy …   marrying into a well off family branch of Family Carroll … they had Farms ”  ( Farming/some horse raising/reaches back to the line holding Carroll Castle Southern Ireland/Letters in Hakluyt Society came from one of the families - PJPW tried find them with help from Mildred Archer of Archives/ but perhaps she did not work directly for Hakluyt ?   I cannot recall but Mrs Mildred Archer 1970s was an important person in London Research Institutions :

((( NB:  MURPHY Dublin 2 baronetcies 1859 Shipping & shipping agents, Dublin - see Debretts peerage up to 1953 - O`Brien an 1859 baronetcy :    Uncle Sir John Edmond O`Brien and his family sent me `Greetah` Ransom, great-great grand-daughter of ANNE O`BRIEN Mrs John Williams the 1st (mother of the husband of TERESA CARROLL )  for my 21st Birthday the O`Brien tiara worn by his grandmother at an Event in Dublin 1959 - Sadly this was stolen by the very Noble chums of my mother Teresa E. Gordon Mrs F.J. Ransom … abuse of it appeared in newspapers and a photo of the famous wearing it, tossing it about amongst themselves,  I am shown by shocked City of London & West End good educated persons printed in the EXPRESS newspaper …  

… (this doped up and drenched in liquor Noble mob also tore to pieces the FROBISHER necklace that evening outside a Mayfair Restaurant & unhappy taxi drivers picked up three pearls before they slid down a drain beside the pavements …  Uncle O`Brien came over and demanded the TIARA back - he got it from the very Noble … it was decided it return to his family … The idea with such gifts is you have them for some years and enjoy wearing them - then you pass them to another younger in the Families … )   I have known from the late 1930s that we at the Seaside & Deptford were exposed to frequent bouts of danger because of the Roaring 20s Nobles of Teresa Gordon … but here were their grown children at their unpleasant antics and threats MARCH 1954 … Some of them had destroyed a sculpture by 18 years old Annie Carroll Williams in a Manchester graveyard (possibly a Saint Anne in memory of her Grandmother O`Brien ?  Or a Virgin and child ? ))))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Great Aunt Annie to me 1943/1945  … “ Her mother,   our dear mother Teresa,  she the former Miss Murphy …  also a Teresa …  died at her birth … ”  …
“  … Her father raised her, our mother, & he did not re-marry until she was 10 years of age … he and his family Murphy saw she had a very good education - they were in Shipping and she was able to travel with family and friends for her Studies  (  NB:   she went as far as Malaya but did not circumnavigate)   … so that we never knew our Grandmother Teresa nee Murphy a young Mrs Carroll `    says our great-Aunt, her youngest grand-daughter b 1880 Annie Agnes Carroll Williams   who trains as a sculptress from age 17 with Professor Manzoni of the Granville Marble Works Liverpool/with him she goes to do work in terracotta for Harold Rathbone Della Robbia Works/Williamson Museum Birkenhead Liverpool-

I give a USEFUL NOTE HERE to Reader & about how this Family Histories proceeds & how to use it … l give an idea of its breadth  :  I born 1933 moved about all the branches … In 1938 autumn with Miss Auntie Win Gordon we go with distant lines of GORDON to inspect the Family Graves  :   BRANCHES are  Kellow/Booth/Grantly/Tate/Anderson/Atkinson  ( Atkinson of Gordon make Ransom marriage here - I may recall how )     … Mr Tate raises his stick and calls for  “ HIP HIP HURRAY for all of them - WITHOUT THEM WE WOULD NOT EXIST …”  

I have written this afternoon Visit 1938 in full - and so with many events lived before the children of Auntie Esther are born - but Richard hears information, sees photos, and his father and grandfather Potter know of them or have met them … FAMILIES DO REACH OUT vastly -  The families I give you in this on-going WORK knew of one another, met frequently, seldom, or not at all … or meaning to … Thus 1938 Cleopatra RANSOM ( call her Pat or Cleo ) says in all seriousness  “WE HAVE NOT HAD A FAMILY CHRISTMAS  TOGETHER SINCE 800 AD …”   (  Her Dad got into Egyptian Archaeology in retirement - she last of 13 children born in 19th century )   

 www.greta-ransom.com 1937 SUMMER etc a vast initial scaffolding  has much family information under the paragraph always beginning with the year  -    NB:  there are 3 files I have made on these 5 girls of TERESA CARROLL & ANDRE MALRAUX 1937 SUMMER onwards to his death … There is no fine INDEX on 1937 SUMMER but a `film trailer` type index is helpful I am told :   But the year is always printed in big type-face & I began a colour code - so that Esther and Fred Potter & life at Clacton 1945-1946-1947 can be found by the year - some pieces in detail  :  

…   I have used colour purple for years 1945 and 1946 and headlines in purple as Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX the Roman Catholic WIDOWER returns to us May 1945 & is distressed to find Mary Gordon dead June 1944 … he has lost Josette and his two brothers in the War years - Bessie & Annie steadied him at this terrible time … Also our friends Professor and Mrs Winnclemann of the Chemist `Murrays` …

Nota bene :    The smaller pieces of Work beginning to appear on JIMDO site, as well as the shorter pieces on main site (also work editing on WORDPRESS and some pieces on TWITTER and FACEBOOK
(  you have to request my computer for permission FACEBOOK to get into it so it rather defeats the purpose for this kind of work … )   are helpful to the beginner perhaps … the whole Work is FAMILY HISTORY …

There are some nice happy stories `ACE,  ACE and ACE - Life at The Pillar House 1970s-1980s :  Stories for Pete born 1970 - lived there until 1993 - died 1998 …

I think the new colour site JIMDO will alternate with pieces `NICE` and then `NASTY `   The message is given at the beginning of the initial Work on www.greta-ransom.com (first issued January 2011)   
…  YOU CAN LIVE LIKE WE DID SUMMER 1937 … TRY NOT LIVE LIKE THE MONSTERS THAT CAME ABOUT US …
 
RANSOM ANCESTRY Part I is the CENTENARY of the birth of my father FREDERICK JOHN RANSOM 1911-2011 :   Part 2 is still editing - parts will appear  :
…  I have been restoring his great finished work on we RANSOM SEATRADERS down the centuries … he and other scholars had to say it could never be published in his lifetime because of the British destruction of THOMAS GROTE HOMES  in the 2nd World War around the globe … the children nearly all missing …
But the human qualities of good families is revealed in his great work :  there is also our lives with GORDON grandparents 1932 onwards and all branches 1930s and 1940s … 

Nota bene :    ( 2nd File WILLIAMS-GORDON pages )  

TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST her work and her life, her descendants :

Report :  a speaker who knew her :  the name may be found as we precede with this gigantic work  `1937 SUMMER `

“ … Teresa Carroll, a face calm and magical, serene … she had no money at the end (1882) … her Murray family had begged her to return when she found she could not teach Classics as a married woman - her husband found no work for his silverwork - the beautiful old house of a former wealthy Manchester Merchant was encroached upon as land was sold off about them … they would get no price … she hesitated too long - perhaps she felt that the sculpture would sell and she and he would be recognised for their joint work … ?   Five little girls - always neatly clothed, they were regular Catholic churchgoers … one son John … the little girls all with the same inspirational WILL … a gentle force to do good in the world ...

She had work with a young sculptor named Cumphry Pendlebury I think … She died 1882 and is buried in Manchester … ”
 (no name for speaker yet … )
 

MEMO :  Greta Ransom  :   I think the young sculptor Pendlebury  he used a Greek-Romanized name for his sculptures   (PENUMBR ? Something like that ? - perhaps she had a similar name for this work ?  ) … one I saw in photograph is of she sitting by the Greek seashore - you do not see her face - her head is bowed towards her lap and her long hair is spread over her lap as she extends her feet towards the SEAS EDGES … she is shown to be deep in thought …

,,,  there were others in photographs - it is the pose that dominates not the person - but the person is clearly very 19th century romantic looking …  

  (  NB:  A John Pendlebury is an archaeologist early 1920s  at `Tel Amarna` the city of Aknaton and Nefertiti … perhaps this is the same family ?   )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These written and type notes of the above go on - I will include them all soon :
Bessie is telling Andre Malraux Widower 1945 (probably at the Supper of the SEA MISTS June 1945 when they gave him the Will to live again … and our choir Mistress had he and all of us singing away in preparation for a full 1610 MASS Monteverdi in July - That magnificence in performance gives a sense of being able to FLY …

Bessie Martha,  senior Miss Williams, 1945   is telling `young Colonel Andre Malraux Widower of Josette of  `SUMMER 1937 ` why she did not marry - a young man who went away to War = they had an understanding in their teens = he was killed … I will transcribe this in full soon :

We will return to all this :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  


 People commented late 1930s … I Greta Ransom was 6 and a half years when the 2nd World War began 1939 September … Annie and Bessie closed `Stella Maris` and went to Manchester, my grandmother their sister Mary Helena Gordon widow,  followed them late October or early November 1939 -

MEMO :   …  Granny had to return to open the Walton Road house January 1942 and then take care of us three children Greta Frobisher Weddell Maureen, John Gordon, Colin Frederick Ransom, born 1933, 1935, 1938 …  Teresa who had got me and John off Captain Barclay Hadzor the Roman Catholic family, down to Bulford Army Camp Town where she had a small well built Army House, got herself in troubles again - violence and CONNING typical Noble Britain 1920s running wild and dangerous  - Wiltshire and Worcester Courts shut her up in jail again :    Sentence to serve 2 years then to be transferred to a NUT HOUSE until my father returns from the War - 1943 the War Office was told to send REQUEST Captain F.J. Ransom to return for HOME DUTIES immediately :  He was never to have left - his skills were in Stores/gunnery … A trick by NOB Gross Brit had him sent without he properly knowing to The Philippines  - but as he, like all Ransoms, spoke Japanese he lived and got his soldiers and seamen away …  

Nota bene :   We have two dowry Islands end of Lusans from marriage Lady Japan-Okinawa 1504 Bruges Cathedral to F. Ransom of Bruges and Montrose - Sea Trader - friend of many interesting persons that time - including young JOOS van Cleve - He Trades and paints `when it is warm enough for my hands outside` …

1943 Our great-Aunts Bessie and Annie returned to `Stella Maris` and they said `OPENED OUR HOME`   - by then it was felt that there would be no INVASION from Germany and that the War was turning our way … It is 1943, 1944, that I am welcomed to call upon them and Annie would speak upon the family histories finding I was so interested if I called in after the school afternoon … On Sunday mornings we were welcomed after High Mass by Bessie and she spoke upon their young days, their work in Welfare … their friends :   Bessie liked a writer who was on the Manchester Guardian newspaper - she would have his books for her birthday … C.E. Montague … try them :   Our Bessie is full of surprises especially when she begins to speak upon these matters

((( … They could have come in retirement to circumnavigate the GROTE HOMES & RANSOM ESTATE and would have been the most perfect of civilized VISITORS bearing HUMANISM … of the world PAST PRESENT and FUTURE … but a GENOCIDE happened to the Grote Children and many of our settlements … it was not done by Germany :   ))))
 
MEMO :   Teresa Carroll probably got her Classics degree in Southern Ireland c 1860 - perhaps Germany - German Classical Studies were well funded - because of excavations by German archaeologists Greece,  TROY, Babylon, UR, Egypt other places ...  

Annie Agnes artist Miss Williams b 1880  of `Stella Maris` 10 Granville Road Clacton-on-Sea, where elder sister Bessie and she came to live 1923-1972 … Visiting 1921 -  seeing the PLANS for the impressive Catholic Church to be built on the St Clare Convent land close the Clacton-Holland-on-Sea seafront :
 
1943-1944 :  Speaking to her great-niece Greetha Ransom ( she has LUCRETIUS de rerum natura with the BIBLE beside her bed )   is telling Greta Ransom family history  -   “ OUR MOTHER a Miss Teresa Carroll before she married our father John Williams, she travelled well beginning age 12 years & writes of a visit to Malaya but she goes no further perhaps, as well as seeing all the famous ancient sites on the Continent & in Italy & Greece … I do not think she ever got further than Malaya ?  But I will ask our Bessie, your aunt Bessie  -   But our mother you should understand …  she did not go around the world like your Aunt Miss Margaret Ransom … whom your great Aunt Bessie & I went to see when she was taking a rest at Lerwick - she said how much she enjoyed the BBC wireless & what a marvellous invention it was …`

I Greta Ransom,  their great-niece,  am going to try capture their manner of speaking, because it is patient and with care, a little slow as if lecturing - which of course they had done at their MISSION Walton, Liverpool,  and in all of their Welfare work and Evening Meetings .  

…  They were very like the `little Misses from Victorian Religious Tract novels` … never old spinsters … Bessie Martha had such energy and her light figure scarce touched ground … For her neat trim figure,
below middle height, she favoured brown clothes and blouses of soft greens, fawns, white, and I have seen her in pale yellow - she wore twin sets of good pure wool in winter, always gloves in the street and a sturdy handbag  … Always a hat, shingled hair that went white in the 1930s …  I have seen them both in summer clothes in photographs from the 1920s - Bessie quite gracefully modern, Annie always as a romantic 1900s figure with longer fuller skirts - she looked like the illustrations of artistic girls of the Arts & Crafts Movement, which she was  :   I will described them more as we get on …

This DOCUMENT of Family history has got inself into 3 pieces on two files - The death of Cousin RICHARD Potter at Christmastide 2011 AD … ( 1911-2011 - year of the Centenary of my father Frederick John Ransom - I had issued on web sites December 2011 the restoration of his vast genealogy and history of RANSOM Redemptio 1st century Roman Britain - which we had accomplished   an APRIL EVENING 1937   with other scholars :   Old Sea Trader and farming families could always read & write in several languages, dialects, before Julius Caesar set foot at Dover, and long before East Anglia was swamped with the fleeing Nonconformists from the Continent 16th-19th centuries … REMEMBERING COUSIN RICHARD - DICK the kind boy …  of the very GOOD HEART & soul … had me begin to interweave the Wartime years at Clacton-on-Sea  (1941 at Bulford Salisbury Plains) …. And that opened from Records & files many facts heard in the 1930s …  

ANNIE Agnes continues :    “  But, our mother,  before she married our father,  she could travel … on big ships in comfort & safely with the family of her dead mother … or respectable friends that they had.   Her family is, you should understand,  the family Murphy of DUBLIN because they,  family MURPHY of DUBLIN were very `well-to-doo`  …   & they had shipping interests … & connections all over the world …`


(  MEMO :       READER should understand here a family joke about WILD HEATHEN DUBLIN  :   and that Miss Margaret Ransom, and family sailed down from West Greenland and  met all the MURPHY family of Dublin in the 1850s  :   Father Fred Ransom and their mother Gertrud nee Poulsen  (her brother Count Poulsen Norway)


( Gertrude Mrs Fred Ransom marries 1830/she grand-daughter of the genius-polymath-trader-Catechist Gotharb POUL Gronlander … the ancestors of his father are direct from 1601 Chinese Scholar who settled West Greenland travelled between Spain, Italy, Venice  POUL is 6`5ins, dark hair, dark blue eyes & married Frederickstown to Margaret Yates shipping Carlisle Witnesses the sons of Gotharb Missionary Pastor Hans & Gertrud EGEDE of Norway : 4 vols HISTORY of GREENLAND Finn Gad 1968-70s … )


WILD & HEATHEN DUBLIN :  1857-1859 :   Fred & Gertrud RANSOM   (grandparents twice back to Greta Ransom)   had their children Margareth, John and Poul Ransom & Tiggy Grote Ward, lecture them that   “ dear Father … you cannot go to DUBLIN … ”   …     they said their geography teacher had just taught them it was a wild heathen nation inhabited by savage tribes  …

They, family RANSOM and POULSEN relatives live on the very civilized West Greenland JACOPSHOLMEN Island :  Delacroix came up to paint JACOP the Angela and the LADDER in the church, and the first great bell has been cast alongside by Ransom family with help from Italian ancestor line … The Island is off XRISTENSHARB, our island in name of POUL GRONLANDER & family given 1770   “  … to keep as a Holy Place and to erect when you may a University in the name of POUL/ that Danish King & his Ministers written up as MAD 20th century while the abuse of Greenland went on  /   -  We are family Ransom East Coast Britain Suffolk up to Montrose Basin from 1500 : moving up from 92 AD Suffolk, Dulwich  - present Suffolk RANSOM are 2nd cousins 1249 - I GR stayed with them June-July 1936 …  :


The WILLIAMS sisters know from 1934  … that late1850s  FATHER Fred RANSOM    (great-grandpa of their new relative `young Fred Ransom` elder son of Fredk.Charles Frobisher Ransom ) ,  put ALL his family & cousins in the family tall master ship `Mary Rose`  & with straight face said that they should come to see he was OK …   “ WE SAILED INTO DUBLIN & had a wonderful time … met the MURPHY Family at a BALL ”   … my great-great aunt Margareth GIRL of the SNOWS has been telling me 1936-38 family history on the telephone when we speak for 20 minutes sometimes from the Continent :    

1934 …  and Bessie and Annie visited her & stayed 3 days - she gave them the key to her Welsh cottage for the families to use … & on a later occasion told them to collect a box holding her autobiography of her life written up to her 16th birthday …  `As I lie in bed here on our Island … I think I hear the tramp of feet … and GREENLAND AWAKENING … `

MEMO :   This box of papers written by my great-great Aunt Margareth nee Ransom Mrs Thomas Immanuel Grote,  was given to ANDRE MALRAUX my Guardian April 17th 1947 by Bessie and Annie Carroll Williams   - he took it to JO`s PLACE, near Tulles,  France and put it in her cupboard with her writings  -  This cupboard has been shown in a French TV documentary made about the lives of Josette and Andre 2nd World Wartime   :  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




1947 - a little BACKGROUND to FAMILY FUTURE TROUBLES …
A ghoul Mengele Harrington ( GP Hong Kong granted with reluctance 1947/1948 - he studied hypnotism and some Chinese Medicine to misuse from this date on ) … went down to the Chateau `Jo`s Place`  with a boy friend Summer 1947 and in name of CLARA MALRAUX divorced wife stole this box /it is certain he burned it…)))

THE FAMILY PROBLEM :    Is Teresa Elizabeth Gordon born 24 November 1906  :    It is she trails MONSTERS well connected and IMPERIAL COIN LESS NOBLES into our family from 1914 when she attends an excellent Riding School and Ceremonial and Police Horse training Establishment near London :  her father George Ernest Gordon proud of her remarkable riding talent at coming 7 years of age had her attend lessons :   she became a superb horsewoman by 11-12 years, and rode as private Jockey for Lord Athlone at 14 years - but BANNED at 16 years for dangerous horse riding in towns  :   (  Teresa E. Gordon is a grandchild of Teresa Carroll Williams above ) has collected 1919 coin less Scotland Nobles - they also eye the GORDON lands - her father and his 5 brothers and 2 sisters were left a piece each and there is land for all of them New Zealand `on a peninsula` )  

 Doc `Mengele` HARRINGTON has a swastika tattoo inside his ear and does a very good theatrical impersonation of A GESTAPO `TOP DOG`  booting in with MOONLIGHT ORDERS from British Government LORDS & SONS and Crowns of England and Scandinavia - he has a prison sentence 1936 in Austria (?) for 2 months attacking a baby of 7 to 9 months - he sedated it during this time  - He was transferred to a Psychiatric Clinic Britain and was out in 2 years …

1938 - with Orders from British Lords and Sons to spy on ANDRE MALRAUX made the GUARDIAN of Greta Ransom & Len Immanuel Ransom until they are 25 years of age and GUARDIAN the whole family ESTATE :  Called in legal documents  `THOMAS GROTE HOMES & RANSOM `Joyous venture` =  ESTATE in 3 PARTS  :   

The widow Margaret Grote sole owner because of the murder of her two brothers, her son in 1933,  has been called behind her back by NOBLE LORDS ` the old ESKIMO`  … and they have tried attempts on her life - then by MOONLIGHT over WESTMINSTER the British Government Lords and Sons and IMPERIAL Figures from a Morgue can have a share out … A page torn from a notebook of one of them 1929 says `ALL RANSOM MALES TO BE KILLED` …

…  NOBLE COIN LESS BRITAIN  :  They also have a Cult of Society of Unholy Men and The 10 Commandments upside down = thou shall kill etc etc.   Their consumption of DOPE and liquor is very high since teenage years 12/13 years in Scotland  :   Give them DOUGH and they spend it on GLITZ … some haunt PARIS …

 From 1938 to 1992 when Doc `Mengele` HARRINGTON took his seat in HELL :     Doc Mengele becomes a nasty slithery problem for the elders of our families :    from spring 1944  (chased out of Market Harborough for attacking small boys at night - he had held some Scientific Directorship )   and July 1947 when he and Clara Malraux booted in on Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN  `Murrays` Chemist, near Catholic Church, Clacton-on-Sea - both raged that ALL of the Research work by the learned Professor would be torn off medical library shelves & destroyed … they made him ILL for several weeks and Clara later called him REEPICHEEP/Lewis Lion Witch & Wardrobe :   MALRAUX was in Paris :  of assistance with others to General Charles de Gaulle …

1953 December we hear :   Doc `Mengele` Harrington is `a peculiar physician and disapproved of generally by Medical Circles `   But he was seen about the BRITISH EMPIRE with glitzy figures … London circles 1950s hear he is `studying children who entice men and make them paedophiles ` … Thus we collected a nasty sub-creature devoted to sadism - it comes from a part Medical family Scotland, some connexion Loamshire  :

1970 - Clacton-on-Sea  :   Doc Mengele sent its blonde nurse `wife` to BOOT IN on Miss Annie Williams at Stella Maris - her sister Bessie dead  :   Annie said to this creature brought down to the seaside by `Mengele` in his infamous blue car `little boy bait`   ` NO YOU MAY NOT ENTER THE HOME OF MY SISTER and MYSELF …. YOU ARE NOT A HOLY WOMAN - THIS IS A HOLY HOUSE - YOU DO NOT ENTER HERE …  

1959 - Doc Harrington and the blue car were in trouble with several Police forces - he had a fast brown one too - Uncle Harry Gordon said   ` they have 5 cars altogether - they come with JIM to see if I have any money to take them for a swell Pub lunch … `    :  

NB :  We the families and the places where we dwell will continue to have trouble from 1944 from this creature of IMPERIAL and Lordly chums into the late 1980s - and others attached limpet like to it …

TO REMIND OURSELVES OF HAPPIER TIMES in our histories :
1930s it was now a little JOKE of Families WILLIAMS GORDON RANSOM
` “ … Wild heathen savage Irish inhabit DUBLIN & the land  … ” …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(SHORT Memo :   Teresa Gordon, after 4 years & 3 months served in Holloway Womens Prison 1927-1931 of a 6 years sentence plus 2 years for 2nd charge not to be served :

NB :  under 19 years young persons could only get a 6 years sentence :  In 1932 she made the best marriage of 10,000 years - Unfortunately her noble chums crowded around her again patting their back pockets - but George & Mary (nee Williams) Gordon had troubles with this PACK since 1919 when they eyed the 8 pieces of Gordon lands in Scotland & caused trouble with Teresa telling her they would claim all these neglected lands for her and she would be sole owner at 21 years of age - The lands are not neglected - but this is an old trick of the BAD BLOOD Noble Scots families - no Sherriff would dare disagree with Earls and Lords  :  
 … NNB :    These lands are the legal properties of her GORDON ELDERS = father, his brothers, his sisters - REPORT 1960 spring Arthur Malone LAW Detective, colleagues & friends :    

Her parents George and Mary ( nee Carroll Williams)  Gordon  had a tragic matter in 1919/1920 Southern Ireland when Scots Earls following 12 years Teresa an exceptional “ horse woman ”  - they thought they could get horses for cheap from the Irish cousins of Mary Williams Gordon = O`Brien/Carroll/Murphy … The home of the young Murphy couple was burned down by followers of Teresa - they and a baby a servant were burned to death - the servant managed to drop 6 years old Brian Murphy from an upstairs window before she collapsed : shocked Police put Teresa just 13 years next day on a boat back to Britain sending telegram to her family … Police angry could bring no charges against Noble Britain - they commented `they lost on the gee-gees - could not take it …`  

MEMORANDUM :     c 1920/21 -   A daughter of TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST  Mary Helena Gordon sang at a Westminster Freedom Meeting the first performance in England of a Ballad by a man she had known in Ireland … `WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE`  - There was a Police raid -  She walked out holding the hand of a child and gave the Police number of her husband a Mounted Officer … Words include  `Mother England loves us still - will teach us how to wash our hands - WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE ` …  you will find it on record/tape/CD etc.
 
 
TROUBLE REIGNED on a monumental scale after the marriage Ransom-Gordon of 1932 … Elders of all the families were abused and some attacked - young children had to be protected from British and Scandinavian noble coin-less dope-soaks …   

MEMO :     EDUCATION  :     George Ernest Gordon and his 5 brothers went to school at Dr Bell Academy Greenwich Heath - they were all loyal British citizens - Anna put the heir and brother to SIAM here and 2 body guards with curved swords sat in Class - the boys got quite used to them … so the GORDON families kept the birthday of the King of Siam and the school and old boys received later his greetings and collected memorabilia …  

West Greenland :     EDUCATION  :    The education on our just within Arctic Circle Jacopsholmen  Island ` the Holm`  is according to Captain Alan Villiers  “ … the best in the early 19th century world -  GREENLAND SHOULD HAVE HAD INDEPENDENCE 1790s - 1800 the latest !   … one SAIL Margareth gave us the KEY … biggest house ever put up in Greenland - he knew what he was doing, built like a tall ship … ”    

… NB:     Our great gilded oak built 1 tier Theatre puts on plays in several languages from 1830s - Greek classics, Medieval, Racine, Shakespeare, first performance outside Europe of Schiller ` The ROBBERS` … the Orchestra can be 40 players or more - half of them are The `Eskimo` … An Emperor of Ethiopia sailed in one Season :   first season to last 6 weeks lasted 7 months - ` you had to PARK YOUR SHIP 2 miles out & row in ` … An Ox was brought in for the Miracle Plays - he also did wonderful work helping with building …   
 
,,, after seeing RIENZI in a German theatre the Poulsen Ransom family returned with gold leave, varnishes, and the Island set to work transforming the theatre interior to gold -  I can still see it in my memory as it was October 1935 when Lennie opened the doors for me - it glowed gold inside … upstairs … 350 could sit comfortably … more for the Christmas Miracle Plays -

1960 June - Here a terrible CRIME was COMMITTED against the entire WORLD :
  A TRAGEDY :    done by NOBLE GREED :     now FEARFUL they might be exposed for the worldwide violence they organised on THE GROTE HOMES during the 2nd world War :  And many other pieces of the RANSOM `Joyous Venture` ESTATE in 3 PARTS :   Andre Malraux, a French MAN of LETTERS,  is legal Guardian to all this -

JUNE 1960 - Denmark and Britain Nobles bombed it to smithereens and our house, the holy staircase to the harbour with all the names carved of children born on the Island … the Church … all other lovely little houses … some little objections appeared in a British newspaper and on the Continent - but Britain still ruled the SEAS

 ( Many REPORTS - RECORDS - are given in other Works :
 `  Inner Circle ARCTIC :   Island off Xristensharb  West Greenland,  bombed by air to smithereens 1960 June by Gross Britain & Denmark - before General de Gaulle and Andre Malraux GUARDIAN could make their visit in August …` … …  )  

18th-20th centuries … we call ourselves GREENLANDERS … DENMARK refuses Independence 1864 and ever afterwards  - Alan Villiers and others condemned Imperial Debts and lack of education in what matters … science/medicine/technology and GREEN EARTH and BLUE SEAS used with RESPECT … ( Captain Alan Villiers 1967/1970s - 200 years commemoration James Cook RN voyages - much useful work was done 1967-1980s … )

Continuing :   TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST
… (Mrs John Williams)  Her life and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and descendants  :

1943-1947 … ANNIE Agnes artist  Miss Williams b 1880 :
… “ So our mother, christened Teresa,  she is born  (?) 1840 to a  
  “ well-too-doo ”  farming family, her father a Mr Carroll … & his wife Teresa a former Miss Murphy, daughter of a clever well-to-doo Blacksmith of the MURPHY Shipping concerns family of Dublin … but she, the mother of our mother,  died at the birth of her only child … our Blessed mother.    Our mother, the baby,  is raised by her father, and the Murphy family of her dead mother … both are of well-too-doo households …  & she is Miss Teresa Carroll … The family Murphy, her grandparents, parents of her dead mother help with her education as well … they did not neglect her …    I cannot recall our dead grandmother Carroll, the former Miss Murphy that is, the maiden name of her mother - but I think your grandmother Mary Helena knows it …?

Your grandmother Mary, she went to visit them all, our relatives,  when she married George your grandfather Gordon - that would be 1891 … we had a big wedding in Manchester - I was a bridesmaid, with others,  in a white frock with a scarlet sash and we carried tiny baskets of spring flowers - our sister to be married designed all the wedding and made the clothes with assistants … It was called the POLKA DOT wedding - she used white and cyclamen … the Milliners  ( MILLICENT ? )  who had trained her since she was 12 years and seen to a very good education and the French language as well as teaching her everything about hats and embroidery and the materials used and where to get them from overseas and fashion …

… I heard that our father had to pay a lot of money for our sister Mary to take up this Apprenticeship of 8 years - she would not enter the world of our mother because our Blessed mother could not get employment,  that is a teaching position in the Universities the Colleges you understand,  because she was a married woman with us children … there was only simple teaching of general history privately to girls over 12 years of age … she wished to develop her work … on PLATO and Harmony … I have a book she has written in and some of her drawings and papers where she has written her ideas and her Essays  …

… It was a terrible blow to our dear father, to all of my sisters and our brother John, when she died of a fever in 1882 - I was two years old and I do not remember her … our father died when I was 10 years … She had bought the great old Merchant`s  House … our Bessie can tell you about the happy life we had there … now I think it will be pulled down … the area has been neglected …
I can remember that Bessie and I always had a hot dish in the big oven for our father for the evening supper … and to have his slippers warming and his bed … but he never recovered from the loss of her … they had been such artistic companions you see … `   

`Your grandmother and grandfather - their wedding  :  They, the newly married pair went to Ireland because his Regiment was to go there … they had two months to go and meet all our relatives  and they stayed with them … it was all arranged before they left from Manchester and Greenwich … the honeymoon in old Ireland had them with invitations from all our relatives there … They all rode horses and saw the beautiful countryside of Old Ireland … Then your grandfather George was stationed there a year with his Army the Lancers … and the first child born in the old country … your Uncle Arthur Gordon that is … our first nephew … of the marriage of our sister Mary, you understand …`    

`… When I was 10 years, because I had lost my mother when I was only 2 years old, then my father,  I was invited to stay with the the O`Brien Family … they had farms & were also very well-too-doo …  & they are the family of our grandmother ANNE, the first Mrs John Williams …After her husband, he a Mr John Willams had died, and they named their son, our father John … but she became  `A Little White Nun` when she was widowed … but when our mother died , her daughter-in-law , she took Release and came to Manchester to look after all of us … we stayed on in the big old Merchant house … your Aunt Bessie can tell you more about the life of the family when our parents were both alive :   but she, our grandmother, the mother of our father that is, a former Miss Anne O`Brien, died after two years … I was about 5 years old …

…  Our nephew John Edmond O`Brien comes to London and we all visit and sometimes he has visited here … It is from this line that we are descended from Brian of BORU … it has been proved … and there are other Letters in a Society in London - Hakluyt its called»`… ( Octagonal Church in Rome, near Golden Palace of Nero, has a plaque to Brian of Boru in it …)

A TRAGEDY  :   1939 October in the garden of `Crail` Skelmersdale Road Clacton-on-Sea  :   The photo albums which photos from 1850s was burned by a maniac called Jimmie Jong now jumped up as a Major and careering about Britain with 6-7 thugs in Army togs destroying GORDON and RANSOM records and graves :   This is preparation for having us all OF NO IMPORTANCE so that violent robberies can take place in Britain and abroad :  

It is ANDRE MALRAUX in 1937 summer afternoons and evenings  who looked at these photo albums, letters, memorabilia :   He kept notebooks all that Summer 1937 … he reads them back many times to Greta Ransom 1957-1960 … and describes a little of what he saw in photographs to me and the LAW Detective Arthur Malone in autumn 1957 -1959 … and again 1970 at The Pillar House Harwell  -  He and Josette `a young lady writer whom Clacton town were delighted with `  had come from SPAIN and he was eager to talk as much as possible with MARY GORDON my grandmother about SOUTHERN IRELAND and her experiences there …  and her broad cultural world of politics and music  :
With her sisters Bessie and Annie he refers to these daughters of TERESA CARROLL and John Williams as  ` MY INTELLECTUAL EQUALS `…   

I have included his recollections in the `scaffolding` called 1937 SUMMER -  This is work he has requested before his death in 1976 :   a document of 3,000 pages plus in 3 Parts :  for Historians & scholars - it has some photos of the 20th century added 1937-1970s  :    There is some background of the 20th century in RANSOM ANCESTRY/histories Part I issued for the CENTENARY of my father Frederick John RANSOM born 1911 November - this appeared December 2011 AD … Part II is editing but is printed on WORDPRESS & other sites for historians & scholars :

MEMORANDOM :     TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST,  
 & the spirit of PHILANTHROPY in her families  :  19th-20th centuries … we gravitate towards persons of similar tastes :

born 1838 Southern Ireland- dies age 44 years Manchester 1882,  her children, their children, branch out into families and persons also linked to Philanthropy - Welfare - THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT …
… so that the families and their occupations will inevitably interweave 20th century … One member  1962 marrying into an Athenian family of note, featuring in history, will continue the theme of WELFARE and Social conscience … THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT … and all good codes of civilized behaviour the world strives to uphold …  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PHILANTHROPY harmed :    20th century :  
1988 -  In Central America … I  (Greta Ransom Whitehead - Dr PJPW = BMNH London)   hear from USA State Department persons & others / one had his father killed when he was 7 years old … reason was that after the demolition of a GROTE HOME by the BRITISH Government 1954 his father had continued teaching Grote Homes teenage children in his own home …  In whispered voice I was told that it is not permitted to say the name of  THOMAS GROTE or THOMAS GROTE HOMES … “ People have been killed … ”    ` … some of the very young children were got to safety - others put with families with several children so they could be lost amongst them …`

RECORDS :   GROTE HOMES CHILDREN make good marriages, go into the Sciences, music, research, Natural History … I am invited 1966 to meet one very great Scientist in advanced years - he said that they only now met in two or threes - in the 1950s they met for a meal, stayed with one another ..  but so many of them went missing … or were found dead in lonely places the bodies thrown away … He was protected by his Embassy when he travelled about the world … I give a full text in other Work especially the initial `scaffolding` released January 2011 AD titled `1937 SUMMER` Document in 3 parts/approx. 3,000pps plus photos/iconography/colour code  … www.greta-ransom.com =  this appears on WORDPRESS in their plain grey script … & perhaps parts on other sites …  

Nota bene :     THEREFORE ANYONE descending from a Grote orphan worldwide should have a care :   To-day the few remaining are in their 90s … their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren are always at risk … They should remain silent … until the powerful nations make known they can give them safety …

But this is covering a horrible crime, A GENOCIDE, against the GROTE HOMES CHILDREN …  I am, therefore,  going to repeatedly type on my web sites THOMAS Immanuel GROTE HOMES 1864 - 1950s …


THOMAS Immanuel GROTE HOMES, real Homes, for Children worldwide,   begun 1864 and by 1870s wound twice around the globe … often on seashores owned by RANSOM SEA TRADERS   (See RANSOM ANCESTRY Part 1 on www.greta-ransom.com/ and Part 2 RANSOM ANCESTRY-Histories editing but on WORDPRESS … parts of this scholars work using the original documents, available until 1938-1969,  have been included in other pieces/files of work to have a simple but quick awareness of this SAGA of the SEAS EDGES …   TIGGY designed the letter heading for his HOMES in shades of pale orange, fawns, pinks, yellows … his logo is a bat and ball, a spinning top … these were real HOMES … In 1935-1936 I am shown their HOMES by the Grote children of Montevideo, Uruguay, Maya, our relatives the INCA, and several other HOMES including Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Chile, Tierra del Fuego - which I still call a heimat `the place of ones heart`  … The children from 7 years old all spoke English and then went on to learn French, Spanish, Classical languages, German … Ecuador had gone to China with TIGGY in a big boat 1890s … they had pen friends in the Grote Homes there …  This tour is called `NORD =  SUD Poles Tour  for Aunt Margareth Girl of the SNOWS` … parts are given on `scaffolding`  1937 SUMMER Andre Malraux , Josette Clotis and Greta Ransom …  on www.greta-ransom.com.

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON TIGGY GROTE & PHILANTHROPY
 b 1841/2 - killed ARRAN 1904  :   he used the Alphabet twice circumnavigating … hence Uruguay and Uzbekistan …  In the 1890s he forgot where he had put a new HOME - so he telegraphed all HOMES to report to GROTE BROKERS NEW YORK with addresses … after that he organised a telephone around the world routine … His wife Margaret nee Ransom encouraged the children worldwide to chose art works they would like for their HOMES … In 1960 ANDRE MALRAUX began a catalogue of what had been acquired … he said  …
  “ She, Margaret,  Girl of the SNOWS,  had more art works than the Louvre … ”   

Our great-aunts Miss Bessie Martha and Miss Annie Agnes Williams had many pieces of information here - they knew Aunt Margaret Ransom Grote from 1934 …  and Len Immanuel Ransom b 1921 FLYER Athlete musician Artist was welcomed at `Stella Maris` from 1933 after the marriage of his elder brother Frederick John Ransom to Teresa E. Gordon … My birth 1933 March in Colchester had a party of the RANSOM families come to greet their new member … I am given the name `Greetha` Greta = a child of family of Margaretha … Thus another little East coast of Britain and West Greenlander - with the addition of INCA from my grandmother JEAN nee Weddell ballerina = 1909 Mrs Frederick Charles Frobisher Ransom son of JOHN RANSOM the brother of Margaret Grote …  

In the `scaffolding` `1937 SUMMER`  Document in 3 Parts approx. 3,000 pps & photos etc  www.greta-ransom.com … is included the history of Grote Homes, its founder Tiggy Grote USA citizen age 22 years when he began … leaving THE RANSOM FAMILY SHOELESS as he charged across USA the Pacific Asia and Russia Continent   (Full Acceptance by VATICAN 1870 for all Catholic nations to have Grote Homes)  and some Arab nations =  China , Afghanistan etc…. The British Lords of Government objected in 1884 - a home existed in Adelaide until 1956 … but Australia was not yet freed from the British Empire …

 … TIGGY  (his mother a great-niece of Frederick Immanuel KANT) is a son of GROTE BROKERS New York … ward of Fred Ransom from 11 years of age, he had just married Margarethe Ransom only daughter of Fred Ransom and Gertrud Poulsen of West Greenland, Norway, Montrose Scotland and `Jacopsholmen Island off the coast of West Greenland a 2 hour slow boat journey from XRISTENSHARB out shopping town from 1770s …

Fred Ransom (b c 1800 - d c 1880s)  father of the bride   (about no 17 of the FR line from 12th & 13th centuries when we sailed under the Flag of Queen Margareth of Denmark who had A Monopoly on Greenland Trade)   had a wedding dress in scarlet made for his only daughter in Spain encrusted with gems … The De Beer ladies of South Africa sent her a collar for it - of bracken diamonds so as not to interfere with the beauty of
A BRIDE IN SCARLET AGAINST THE SNOW … Fred Ransom had invented for de Beer, friends,  a system of pulley and trucks which saved the workers in the mines from terrible back-breaking work … he gave the invention to them for free …

 … When the De Beer ladies heard TIGGY had left RANSOM Estate and family shoeless they sent the new bride A DIAMOND HAIRNET …
… so she might dine out around the world looking regal …
…  EVEN IF SHOELESS …

You can see a drawing of TIGGY by Edward Lear - `an old man who did not know what to do …`   Tiggy was 19/20 years old at this time - we had a Villa and Estate on Corfu and Welfare services …

But GROTE HOMES was swiftly understood by all Nations OUTSIDE the British Empire …  soon money dropped from the skies of all nations to help with the HOMES superb education, quality is taught and not GET RICH, all religions, three or four languages and accepting children from 4 or 5 years -  The children of each HOME at real HOMES, over 2,500 worldwide and many many smaller Homes where needed - I visited with my RANSOM family for 8 months 1935-1936.   Intelligent peoples recognised this education would have the children emerge at 18 or 22 years ACTING THE GOSPELS OUT … able to enter all the professions that were important to the globe … medicine, sciences, natural history, Humanities, music, athletics - gym for women, the arts …

… This was what happened - and Peoples stayed home in their nations where they had the benefit of a Grote Home and its settlement and lands close to them …they learned from the system … compared to `A DELICATE FLOWER GARDEN AROUND THE EARTH - a golden girdle … Investments were put in these nations from RANSOM `Joyous Venture`  and lands around the HOMES and other people impressed by what they saw :    The whole Estate in the Will 1937/1938 of Margaret Ransom Grote is called  GROTE HOMES FOR CHILDREN & RANSOM ESTATE - ESTATE IN 3 PARTS :   
 

SAD TO SAY  … `SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT`    :   WILLIAMS - BUTLER - GORDON families …
 with their tradition of Welfare …  understood swiftly after the RANSOM marriage of 1932 that they could help with the administration … take part how they wished … make a career … visit for holidays … Another WAR CAME 1939 September …

TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST her work and her life, her descendants :

Report :  a speaker who knew her :  the name may be found as we procede with this gigantic work  `1937 SUMMER `

“ … Teresa Carroll, a face calm and magical, serene … she had no money at the end (1882) … her Murray family had begged her to return when she found she could not teach Classics as a married woman - her husband found no work for his silverwork - the beautiful old house of a former wealthy Manchester Merchant was encroached upon as land was sold off about them … they would get no price … she hesitated too long - perhaps she felt that the sculpture would sell and she and he would be recognised for their joint work … ?   Five little girls - always neatly clothed, they were regular Catholic churchgoers … one son John … the little girls all with the same inspirational WILL … a gentle force to do good in the world ...

She had work with a young sculptor named Cumphry Pendlebury I think … She died 1882 and is buried in Manchester … ”
 (no name for speaker yet … )
 

MEMO :  Greta Ransom  :   I think the young sculptor Pendlebury  he used a Greek-Romanized name for his sculptures   (PENUMBR ? Something like that ? - perhaps she had a similar name for this work ?  ) … one I saw in photograph is of she sitting by the Greek seashore - you do not see her face - her head is bowed towards her lap and her long hair is spread over her lap as she extends her feet towards the SEAS EDGES … she is shown to be deep in thought …

,,,  there were others in photographs - it is the pose that dominates not the person - but the person is clearly very 19th century romantic looking …  

  (  NB :  A John Pendlebury is an archaeologist early 1920s  at `Tel Amarna` the city of Aknaton and Nefertiti … perhaps this is the same family ?   )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These written and type notes of the above go on - I will include them all soon :
Bessie is telling Andre Malraux Widower 1945 (probably at the Supper of the SEA MISTS June 1945 when they gave him the Will to live again … and our choir Mistress had he and all of us singing away in preparation for a full 1610 MASS Monteverdi in July - That magnificence in performance gives a sense of being able to FLY …

Bessie Martha,  senior Miss Williams, 1945   is telling `young Colonel Andre Malraux Widower of Josette of  `SUMMER 1937 ` why she did not marry - a young man who went away to War = they had an understanding in their teens = he was killed … I will transcribe this in full soon :

We will return to all this :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  


 People commented late 1930s … I Greta Ransom was 6 and a half years when the 2nd World War began 1939 September … Annie and Bessie closed `Stella Maris` and went to Manchester, my grandmother their sister Mary Helena Gordon widow,  followed them late October or early November 1939 -

MEMO :   …  Granny had to return to open the Walton Road house January 1942 and then take care of us three children Greta Frobisher Weddell Maureen, John Gordon, Colin Frederick Ransom, born 1933, 1935, 1938 …  Teresa who had got me and John off Captain Barclay Hadzor the Roman Catholic family, down to Bulford Army Camp Town where she had a small well built Army House, got herself in troubles again - violence and CONNING typical Noble Britain 1920s running wild and dangerous  - Wiltshire and Worcester Courts shut her up in jail again :    Sentence to serve 2 years then to be transferred to a NUT HOUSE until my father returns from the War - 1943 the War Office was told to send REQUEST Captain F.J. Ransom to return for HOME DUTIES immediately :  He was never to have left - his skills were in Stores/gunnery … A trick by NOB Gross Brit had him sent without he properly knowing to The Philippines  - but as he, like all Ransoms, spoke Japanese he lived and got his soldiers and seamen away …  

Nota bene :   We have two dowry Islands end of Lusans from marriage Lady Japan-Okinawa 1504 Bruges Cathedral to F. Ransom of Bruges and Montrose - Sea Trader - friend of many interesting persons that time - including young JOOS van Cleve - He Trades and paints `when it is warm enough for my hands outside` …

1943 Our great-Aunts Bessie and Annie returned to `Stella Maris` and they said `OPENED OUR HOME`   - by then it was felt that there would be no INVASION from Germany and that the War was turning our way … It is 1943, 1944, that I am welcomed to call upon them and Annie would speak upon the family histories finding I was so interested if I called in after the school afternoon … On Sunday mornings we were welcomed after High Mass by Bessie and she spoke upon their young days, their work in Welfare … their friends :   Bessie liked a writer who was on the Manchester Guardian newspaper - she would have his books for her birthday … C.E. Montague … try them :   Our Bessie is full of surprises especially when she begins to speak upon these matters

((( … They could have come in retirement to circumnavigate the GROTE HOMES & RANSOM ESTATE and would have been the most perfect of civilized VISITORS bearing HUMANISM … of the world PAST PRESENT and FUTURE … but a GENOCIDE happened to the Grote Children and many of our settlements … it was not done by Germany :   ))))
 
MEMO :   Teresa Carroll probably got her Classics degree in Southern Ireland c 1860 - perhaps Germany - German Classical Studies were well funded - because of excavations by German archaeologists Greece,  TROY, Babylon, UR, Egypt other places ...  

Annie Agnes artist Miss Williams b 1880  of `Stella Maris` 10 Granville Road Clacton-on-Sea, where elder sister Bessie and she came to live 1923-1972 … Visiting 1921 -  seeing the PLANS for the impressive Catholic Church to be built on the St Clare Convent land close the Clacton-Holland-on-Sea seafront :
 
1943-1944 :  Speaking to her great-niece Greetha Ransom ( she has LUCRETIUS de rerum natura with the BIBLE beside her bed )   is telling Greta Ransom family history  -   “ OUR MOTHER a Miss Teresa Carroll before she married our father John Williams, she travelled well beginning age 12 years & writes of a visit to Malaya but she goes no further perhaps, as well as seeing all the famous ancient sites on the Continent & in Italy & Greece … I do not think she ever got further than Malaya ?  But I will ask our Bessie, your aunt Bessie  -   But our mother you should understand …  she did not go around the world like your Aunt Miss Margaret Ransom … whom your great Aunt Bessie & I went to see when she was taking a rest at Lerwick - she said how much she enjoyed the BBC wireless & what a marvellous invention it was …`

I Greta Ransom,  their great-niece,  am going to try capture their manner of speaking, because it is patient and with care, a little slow as if lecturing - which of course they had done at their MISSION Walton, Liverpool,  and in all of their Welfare work and Evening Meetings .  

…  They were very like the `little Misses from Victorian Religious Tract novels` … never old spinsters … Bessie Martha had such energy and her light figure scarce touched ground … For her neat trim figure, below middle height, she favoured brown clothes and blouses of soft greens, fawns, white, and I have seen her in pale yellow - she wore twin sets of good pure wool in winter, always gloves in the street and a sturdy handbag  … Always a hat, shingled hair that went white in the 1930s …  I have seen them both in summer clothes in photographs from the 1920s - Bessie quite gracefully modern, Annie always as a romantic 1900s figure with longer fuller skirts - she looked like the illustrations of artistic girls of the Arts & Crafts Movement, which she was  :   I will described them more as we get on …

This DOCUMENT of Family history has got itself into 3 pieces on two files - The death of Cousin RICHARD Potter at Christmastide 2011 AD … ( 1911-2011 - year of the Centenary of my father Frederick John Ransom - I had issued on web sites December 2011 the restoration of his vast genealogy and history of RANSOM Redemptio 1st century Roman Britain - which we had accomplished   an APRIL EVENING 1937   with other scholars :   Old Sea Trader and farming families could always read & write in several languages, dialects, before Julius Caesar set foot at Dover, and long before East Anglia was swamped with the fleeing Nonconformists from the Continent 16th-19th centuries … REMEMBERING COUSIN RICHARD - DICK the kind boy …  of the very GOOD HEART & soul … had me begin to interweave the Wartime years at Clacton-on-Sea  (1941 at Bulford Salisbury Plains) …. And that opened from Records & files many facts heard in the 1930s …  

ANNIE Agnes continues :    “  But, our mother,  before she married our father,  she could travel … on big ships in comfort & safely with the family of her dead mother … or respectable friends that they had.   Her family is, you should understand,  the family Murphy of DUBLIN because they,  family MURPHY of DUBLIN were very `well-to-doo`  …   & they had shipping interests … & connections all over the world …`


(  MEMO :       READER should understand here a family joke about WILD HEATHEN DUBLIN  :   and that Miss Margaret Ransom, and family sailed down from West Greenland and  met all the MURPHY family of Dublin in the 1850s  :   Father Fred Ransom and their mother Gertrud nee Poulsen  (her brother Count Poulsen Norway)


( Gertrude Mrs Fred Ransom marries 1830/she grand-daughter of the genius-polymath-trader-Catechist Gotharb POUL Gronlander … the ancestors of his father are direct from 1601 Chinese Scholar who settled West Greenland travelled between Spain, Italy, Venice  POUL is 6`5ins, dark hair, dark blue eyes & married Frederickstown to Margaret Yates shipping Carlisle Witnesses the sons of Gotharb Missionary Pastor Hans & Gertrud EGEDE of Norway : 4 vols HISTORY of GREENLAND Finn Gad 1968-70s … )


WILD & HEATHEN DUBLIN :  1857-1859 :   Fred & Gertrud RANSOM   (grandparents twice back to Greta Ransom)   had their children Margareth, John and Poul Ransom & Tiggy Grote Ward, lecture them that   “ dear Father … you cannot go to DUBLIN … ”   …     they said their geography teacher had just taught them it was a wild heathen nation inhabited by savage tribes  …

They, family RANSOM and POULSEN relatives live on the very civilized West Greenland JACOPSHOLMEN Island :  Delacroix came up to paint JACOP the Angela and the LADDER in the church, and the first great bell has been cast alongside by Ransom family with help from Italian ancestor line … The Island is off XRISTENSHARB, our island in name of POUL GRONLANDER & family given 1770   “  … to keep as a Holy Place and to erect when you may a University in the name of POUL/ that Danish King & his Ministers written up as MAD 20th century while the abuse of Greenland went on  /   -  We are family Ransom East Coast Britain Suffolk up to Montrose Basin from 1500 : moving up from 92 AD Suffolk, Dulwich  - present Suffolk RANSOM are 2nd cousins 1249 - I GR stayed with them June-July 1936 …  :


The WILLIAMS sisters know from 1934  … that late1850s  FATHER Fred RANSOM    (great-grandpa of their new relative `young Fred Ransom` elder son of Fredk.Charles Frobisher Ransom ) ,  put ALL his family & cousins in the family tall master ship `Mary Rose`  & with straight face said that they should come to see he was OK …   “ WE SAILED INTO DUBLIN & had a wonderful time … met the MURPHY Family at a BALL ”   … my great-great aunt Margareth GIRL of the SNOWS has been telling me 1936-38 family history on the telephone when we speak for 20 minutes sometimes from the Continent :    

1934 …  and Bessie and Annie visited her & stayed 3 days - she gave them the key to her Welsh cottage for the families to use … & on a later occasion told them to collect a box holding her autobiography of her life written up to her 16th birthday …  `As I lie in bed here on our Island … I think I hear the tramp of feet … and GREENLAND AWAKENING … `

MEMO :   This box of papers written by my great-great Aunt Margareth nee Ransom Mrs Thomas Immanuel Grote,  was given to ANDRE MALRAUX my Guardian April 17th 1947 by Bessie and Annie Carroll Williams   - he took it to JO`s PLACE, near Tulles,  France and put it in her cupboard with her writings  -  This cupboard has been shown in a French TV documentary made about the lives of Josette and Andre 2nd World Wartime   :  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




1947 - a little BACKGROUND to FAMILY FUTURE TROUBLES …
A ghoul Mengele Harrington ( GP Hong Kong granted with reluctance 1947/1948 - he studied hypnotism and some Chinese Medicine to misuse from this date on ) … went down to the Chateau `Jo`s Place`  with a boy friend Summer 1947 and in name of CLARA MALRAUX divorced wife stole this box /it is certain he burned it…)))

THE FAMILY PROBLEM :    Is Teresa Elizabeth Gordon born 24 November 1906  :    It is she trails MONSTERS well connected and IMPERIAL COIN LESS NOBLES into our family from 1914 when she attends an excellent Riding School and Ceremonial and Police Horse training Establishment near London :  her father George Ernest Gordon proud of her remarkable riding talent at coming 7 years of age had her attend lessons :   she became a superb horsewoman by 11-12 years, and rode as private Jockey for Lord Athlone at 14 years - but BANNED at 16 years for dangerous horse riding in towns  :   (  Teresa E. Gordon is a grandchild of Teresa Carroll Williams above ) has collected 1919 coin less Scotland Nobles - they also eye the GORDON lands - her father and his 5 brothers and 2 sisters were left a piece each and there is land for all of them New Zealand `on a peninsula` )  

 Doc `Mengele` HARRINGTON has a swastika tattoo inside his ear and does a very good theatrical impersonation of A GESTAPO `TOP DOG`  booting in with MOONLIGHT ORDERS from British Government LORDS & SONS and Crowns of England and Scandinavia - he has a prison sentence 1936 in Austria (?) for 2 months attacking a baby of 7 to 9 months - he sedated it during this time  - He was transferred to a Psychiatric Clinic Britain and was out in 2 years …

1938 - with Orders from British Lords and Sons to spy on ANDRE MALRAUX made the GUARDIAN of Greta Ransom & Len Immanuel Ransom until they are 25 years of age and GUARDIAN the whole family ESTATE :  Called in legal documents  `THOMAS GROTE HOMES & RANSOM `Joyous venture` =  ESTATE in 3 PARTS  :   

The widow Margaret Grote sole owner because of the murder of her two brothers, her son in 1933,  has been called behind her back by NOBLE LORDS ` the old ESKIMO`  … and they have tried attempts on her life - then by MOONLIGHT over WESTMINSTER the British Government Lords and Sons and IMPERIAL Figures from a Morgue can have a share out … A page torn from a notebook of one of them 1929 says `ALL RANSOM MALES TO BE KILLED` …

…  NOBLE COIN LESS BRITAIN  :  They also have a Cult of Society of Unholy Men and The 10 Commandments upside down = thou shall kill etc etc.   Their consumption of DOPE and liquor is very high since teenage years 12/13 years in Scotland  :   Give them DOUGH and they spend it on GLITZ … some haunt PARIS …

 From 1938 to 1992 when Doc `Mengele` HARRINGTON took his seat in HELL :     Doc Mengele becomes a nasty slithery problem for the elders of our families :    from spring 1944  (chased out of Market Harborough for attacking small boys at night - he had held some Scientific Directorship )   and July 1947 when he and Clara Malraux booted in on Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN  `Murrays` Chemist, near Catholic Church, Clacton-on-Sea - both raged that ALL of the Research work by the learned Professor would be torn off medical library shelves & destroyed … they made him ILL for several weeks and Clara later called him REEPICHEEP/Lewis Lion Witch & Wardrobe :   MALRAUX was in Paris :  of assistance with others to General Charles de Gaulle …

1953 December we hear :   Doc `Mengele` Harrington is `a peculiar physician and disapproved of generally by Medical Circles `   But he was seen about the BRITISH EMPIRE with glitzy figures … London circles 1950s hear he is `studying children who entice men and make them paedophiles ` … Thus we collected a nasty sub-creature devoted to sadism - it comes from a part Medical family Scotland, some connexion Loamshire  :

1970 - Clacton-on-Sea  :   Doc Mengele sent its blonde nurse `wife` to BOOT IN on Miss Annie Williams at Stella Maris - her sister Bessie dead  :   Annie said to this creature brought down to the seaside by `Mengele` in his infamous blue car `little boy bait`   ` NO YOU MAY NOT ENTER THE HOME OF MY SISTER and MYSELF …. YOU ARE NOT A HOLY WOMAN - THIS IS A HOLY HOUSE - YOU DO NOT ENTER HERE …  

1959 - Doc Harrington and the blue car were in trouble with several Police forces - he had a fast brown one too - Uncle Harry Gordon said   ` they have 5 cars altogether - they come with JIM to see if I have any money to take them for a swell Pub lunch … `    :  

NB :  We the families and the places where we dwell will continue to have trouble from 1944 from this creature of IMPERIAL and Lordly chums into the late 1980s - and others attached limpet like to it …

TO REMIND OURSELVES OF HAPPIER TIMES in our histories :
1930s it was now a little JOKE of Families WILLIAMS GORDON RANSOM
` “ … Wild heathen savage Irish inhabit DUBLIN & the land  … ” …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(SHORT Memo :   Teresa Gordon, after 4 years & 3 months served in Holloway Womens Prison 1927-1931 of a 6 years sentence plus 2 years for 2nd charge not to be served :

NB :  under 19 years young persons could only get a 6 years sentence :  In 1932 she made the best marriage of 10,000 years - Unfortunately her noble chums crowded around her again patting their back pockets - but George & Mary (nee Williams) Gordon had troubles with this PACK since 1919 when they eyed the 8 pieces of Gordon lands in Scotland & caused trouble with Teresa telling her they would claim all these neglected lands for her and she would be sole owner at 21 years of age - The lands are not neglected - but this is an old trick of the BAD BLOOD Noble Scots families - no Sherriff would dare disagree with Earls and Lords  :  
 … NNB :    These lands are the legal properties of her GORDON ELDERS = father, his brothers, his sisters - REPORT 1960 spring Arthur Malone LAW Detective, colleagues & friends :    

Her parents George and Mary ( nee Carroll Williams)  Gordon  had a tragic matter in 1919/1920 Southern Ireland when Scots Earls following 12 years Teresa an exceptional “ horse woman ”  - they thought they could get horses for cheap from the Irish cousins of Mary Williams Gordon = O`Brien/Carroll/Murphy … The home of the young Murphy couple was burned down by followers of Teresa - they and a baby a servant were burned to death - the servant managed to drop 6 years old Brian Murphy from an upstairs window before she collapsed : shocked Police put Teresa just 13 years next day on a boat back to Britain sending telegram to her family … Police angry could bring no charges against Noble Britain - they commented `they lost on the gee-gees - could not take it …`  

MEMORANDUM :     c 1920/21 -   A daughter of TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST  Mary Helena Gordon sang at a Westminster Freedom Meeting the first performance in England of a Ballad by a man she had known in Ireland … `WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE`  - There was a Police raid -  She walked out holding the hand of a child and gave the Police number of her husband a Mounted Officer … Words include  `Mother England loves us still - will teach us how to wash our hands - WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE ` …  you will find it on record/tape/CD etc.
 
 
TROUBLE REIGNED on a monumental scale after the marriage Ransom-Gordon of 1932 … Elders of all the families were abused and some attacked - young children had to be protected from British and Scandinavian noble coin-less dope-soaks …   

MEMO :     EDUCATION  :     George Ernest Gordon and his 5 brothers went to school at Dr Bell Academy Greenwich Heath - they were all loyal British citizens - Anna put the heir and brother to SIAM here and 2 body guards with curved swords sat in Class - the boys got quite used to them … so the GORDON families kept the birthday of the King of Siam and the school and old boys received later his greetings and collected memorabilia …  

West Greenland :     EDUCATION  :    The education on our just within Arctic Circle Jacopsholmen  Island ` the Holm`  is according to Captain Alan Villiers  “ … the best in the early 19th century world -  GREENLAND SHOULD HAVE HAD INDEPENDENCE 1790s - 1800 the latest !   … one SAIL Margareth gave us the KEY … biggest house ever put up in Greenland - he knew what he was doing, built like a tall ship … ”    

… NB:     Our great gilded oak built 1 tier Theatre puts on plays in several languages from 1830s - Greek classics, Medieval, Racine, Shakespeare, first performance outside Europe of Schiller ` The ROBBERS` … the Orchestra can be 40 players or more - half of them are The `Eskimo` … An Emperor of Ethiopia sailed in one Season :   first season to last 6 weeks lasted 7 months - ` you had to PARK YOUR SHIP 2 miles out & row in ` … An Ox was brought in for the Miracle Plays - he also did wonderful work helping with building …   
 
,,, after seeing RIENZI in a German theatre the Poulsen Ransom family returned with gold leaves, varnishes, and the Island set to work transforming the theatre interior to gold -  I can still see it in my memory as it was October 1935 when Lennie opened the doors for me - it glowed gold inside … upstairs … 350 could sit comfortably … more for the Christmas Miracle Plays -

1960 June - Here a terrible CRIME was COMMITTED against the entire WORLD :
  A TRAGEDY :    done by NOBLE GREED :     now FEARFUL they might be exposed for the worldwide violence they organised on THE GROTE HOMES during the 2nd world War :  And many other pieces of the RANSOM `Joyous Venture` ESTATE in 3 PARTS :   Andre Malraux, a French MAN of LETTERS,  is legal Guardian to all this -

JUNE 1960 - Denmark and Britain Nobles bombed it to smithereens and our house, the holy staircase to the harbour with all the names carved of children born on the Island … the Church … all other lovely little houses … some little objections appeared in a British newspaper and on the Continent - but Britain still ruled the SEAS

 ( Many REPORTS - RECORDS - are given in other Works :
 `  Inner Circle ARCTIC :   Island off Xristensharb  West Greenland,  bombed by air to smithereens 1960 June by Gross Britain & Denmark - before General de Gaulle and Andre Malraux GUARDIAN could make their visit in August …` … …  )  

18th-20th centuries … we call ourselves GREENLANDERS … DENMARK refuses Independence 1864 and ever afterwards  - Alan Villiers and others condemned Imperial Debts and lack of education in what matters … science/medicine/technology and GREEN EARTH and BLUE SEAS used with RESPECT … ( Captain Alan Villiers 1967/1970s - 200 years commemoration James Cook RN voyages - much useful work was done 1967-1980s … )

Continuing :   TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST
… (Mrs John Williams)  Her life and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and descendants  :

1943-1947 … ANNIE Agnes artist  Miss Williams b 1880 :
… “ So our mother, christened Teresa,  she is born  (?) 1840 to a  
  “ well-too-doo ”  farming family, her father a Mr Carroll … & his wife Teresa a former Miss Murphy, daughter of a clever well-to-doo Blacksmith of the MURPHY Shipping concerns family of Dublin … but she, the mother of our mother,  died at the birth of her only child … our Blessed mother.    Our mother, the baby,  is raised by her father, and the Murphy family of her dead mother … both are of well-too-doo households …  & she is Miss Teresa Carroll … The family Murphy, her grandparents, parents of her dead mother help with her education as well … they did not neglect her …    I cannot recall our dead grandmother Carroll, the former Miss Murphy that is, the maiden name of her mother - but I think your grandmother Mary Helena knows it …?

Your grandmother Mary, she went to visit them all, our relatives,  when she married George your grandfather Gordon - that would be 1891 … we had a big wedding in Manchester - I was a bridesmaid, with others,  in a white frock with a scarlet sash and we carried tiny baskets of spring flowers - our sister to be married designed all the wedding and made the clothes with assistants … It was called the POLKA DOT wedding - she used white and cyclamen … the Milliners  ( MILLICENT ? )  who had trained her since she was 12 years and seen to a very good education and the French language as well as teaching her everything about hats and embroidery and the materials used and where to get them from overseas and fashion …

… I heard that our father had to pay a lot of money for our sister Mary to take up this Apprenticeship of 8 years - she would not enter the world of our mother because our Blessed mother could not get employment,  that is a teaching position in the Universities the Colleges you understand,  because she was a married woman with us children … there was only simple teaching of general history privately to girls over 12 years of age … she wished to develop her work … on PLATO and Harmony … I have a book she has written in and some of her drawings and papers where she has written her ideas and her Essays  …

… It was a terrible blow to our dear father, to all of my sisters and our brother John, when she died of a fever in 1882 - I was two years old and I do not remember her … our father died when I was 10 years … She had bought the great old Merchant`s  House … our Bessie can tell you about the happy life we had there … now I think it will be pulled down … the area has been neglected …
I can remember that Bessie and I always had a hot dish in the big oven for our father for the evening supper … and to have his slippers warming and his bed … but he never recovered from the loss of her … they had been such artistic companions you see … `   

`Your grandmother and grandfather - their wedding  :  They, the newly married pair went to Ireland because his Regiment was to go there … they had two months to go and meet all our relatives  and they stayed with them … it was all arranged before they left from Manchester and Greenwich … the honeymoon in old Ireland had them with invitations from all our relatives there … They all rode horses and saw the beautiful countryside of Old Ireland … Then your grandfather George was stationed there a year with his Army the Lancers … and the first child born in the old country … your Uncle Arthur Gordon that is … our first nephew … of the marriage of our sister Mary, you understand …`    

`… When I was 10 years, because I had lost my mother when I was only 2 years old, then my father,  I was invited to stay with the the O`Brien Family … they had farms & were also very well-too-doo …  & they are the family of our grandmother ANNE, the first Mrs John Williams …After her husband, he a Mr John Willams had died, and they named their son, our father,  John … but she became  `A Little White Nun` when she was widowed … but when our mother died , her daughter-in-law , she took Release and came to Manchester to look after all of us … we stayed on in the big old Merchant house … your Aunt Bessie can tell you more about the life of the family when our parents were both alive :   but she, our grandmother, the mother of our father that is, a former Miss Anne O`Brien, died after two years … I was about 5 years old …

…  Our nephew John Edmond O`Brien comes to London and we all visit and sometimes he has visited here … It is from this line that we are descended from Brian of BORU … it has been proved … and there are other Letters in a Society in London - Hakluyt its called»`… ( Octagonal Church in Rome, near Golden Palace of Nero, has a plaque to Brian of Boru in it …)

It is ANDRE MALRAUX in 1937 summer afternoons and evenings  who looked at these photo albums, letters, memorabilia :   He kept notebooks all that Summer 1937 … he reads them back many times to Greta Ransom 1957-1960 … and describes a little of what he saw in photographs to me and the LAW Detective Arthur Malone in autumn 1957 -1959 … and again 1970 at The Pillar House Harwell  -  He and Josette `a young lady writer whom Clacton town were delighted with `  had come from SPAIN and he was eager to talk as much as possible with MARY GORDON my grandmother about SOUTHERN IRELAND and her experiences there …  and her broad cultural world of politics and music  :

Nota bene :   The NOBLE criminally insane after our PHILANTHROPY  K U D O S = that leading to cunning and often violent robberies, are
  entering our families because they sniff properties, moneys … in Southern Ireland … they tried get free horses off Murphy,  Carroll and O`Brien families 1919-1920 & burned the young Murphy home overnight killing parents, a baby, and a servant - only cousin BRIAN MURPHY age 6 years saved - it is Aunt Terry BUTLER who keeps up a close friendship with her little orphan cousin born 1914, she 15 years then  …  Noble Scotland and thugs have in common the use of an unusual narcotic  … and the growing in Scotland on their big Estates of this narcotic forbid by British Law DIVINORUM SALVIA SCOTLAND … It produces a fine crop in 18 months in sheltered Glens on the Western side of Scotland … this is fire blown into pellets they insert in a nostril/snout/ and it hit’s the brain in 2 seconds and gives maniac desire to rob in their case -
(You can find other uses of this plant on Internet )   1970 two of the big Medical Research Centres of the world produced reports - they had believed it could not be used in this way - findings were frightening and a possibility it might have persons breed insane …

MEMORANDOM :     TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST,  
 & the spirit of PHILANTHROPY in her families  :  19th-20th centuries … we gravitate towards persons of similar tastes :

born 1838 Southern Ireland- dies age 44 years Manchester 1882,  her children, their children, branch out into families and persons also linked to Philanthropy - Welfare - THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT …
… so that the families and their occupations will inevitably interweave 20th century … One member  1962 marrying into an Athenian family of note, featuring in history, will continue the theme of WELFARE and Social conscience … THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT … and all good codes of civilized behaviour the world strives to uphold …

PHILANTHROPY harmed :    20th century :  
1988 -  In Central America … I  (Greta Ransom Whitehead - Dr PJPW = BMNH London)   hear from USA State Department persons & others / one had his father killed when he was 7 years old … reason was that after the demolition of a GROTE HOME by the BRITISH Government 1954 his father had continued teaching Grote Homes teenage children in his own home …  In whispered voice I was told that it is not permitted to say the name of  THOMAS GROTE or THOMAS GROTE HOMES … “ People have been killed … ”    ` … some of the very young children were got to safety - others put with families with several children so they could be lost amongst them …`

RECORDS :   GROTE HOMES CHILDREN make good marriages, go into the Sciences, music, research, Natural History … I am invited 1966 to meet one very great Scientist in advanced years - he said that they only now met in two or threes - in the 1950s they met for a meal, stayed with one another ..  but so many of them went missing … or were found dead in lonely places the bodies thrown away … He was protected by his Embassy when he travelled about the world … I give a full text in other Work especially the initial `scaffolding` released January 2011 AD titled `1937 SUMMER` Document in 3 parts/approx. 3,000pps plus photos/iconography/colour code  … www.greta-ransom.com =  this appears on WORDPRESS in their plain grey script … & perhaps parts on other sites …  

Nota bene :     THEREFORE ANYONE descending from a Grote orphan worldwide should have a care :   To-day the few remaining are in their 90s … their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren are always at risk … They should remain silent … until the powerful nations make known they can give them safety …

But this is covering a horrible crime, A GENOCIDE, against the GROTE HOMES CHILDREN …  I am, therefore,  going to repeatedly type on my web sites THOMAS Immanuel GROTE HOMES 1864 - 1950s …


THOMAS Immanuel GROTE HOMES, real Homes, for Children worldwide,   begun 1864 and by 1870s wound twice around the globe … often on seashores owned by RANSOM SEA TRADERS   (See RANSOM ANCESTRY Part 1 on www.greta-ransom.com/ and Part 2 RANSOM ANCESTRY-Histories editing but on WORDPRESS … parts of this scholars work using the original documents, available until 1938-1969,  have been included in other pieces/files of work to have a simple but quick awareness of this SAGA of the SEAS EDGES …   TIGGY designed the letter heading for his HOMES in shades of pale orange, fawns, pinks, yellows … his logo is a bat and ball, a spinning top … these were real HOMES … In 1935-1936 I am shown their HOMES by the Grote children of Montevideo, Uruguay, Maya, our relatives the INCA, and several other HOMES including Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Chile, Tierra del Fuego - which I still call a heimat `the place of ones heart`  … The children from 7 years old all spoke English and then went on to learn French, Spanish, Classical languages, German … Ecuador had gone to China with TIGGY in a big boat 1890s … they had pen friends in the Grote Homes there …  This tour is called `NORD =  SUD Poles Tour  for Aunt Margareth Girl of the SNOWS` … parts are given on `scaffolding`  1937 SUMMER Andre Malraux , Josette Clotis and Greta Ransom …  on www.greta-ransom.com.

… and about that great WAR 1914-1919 supposed to end all WARS … and things about this little SEAS EDGES town and the ancient countryside … he could work mornings writing in The Priests House library Montfort Lodge, then take a sherry in the study with Reverend Mother Benedict at our Convent of Order of Saint Clare … while I and top class (12-14 years - we will grow to 18 years here)   awaited him coming to teach us FRENCH for 15 minutes …

I never learned anything … beyond `la plume de ma tante` … A most handsome ARCHANGEL was out front of CLASS  … I sing with him in the Our Lady Church Choir … he is a real counter-tenor, honey tones tenor, and can hit BOY SOPRANO when necessary … he was not at all that tall boy looking about 17 years of age - a brother figure to me - of 1937 SUMMER … when Granny Mary Helena Williams Gordon,  suddenly widowed in March,  was glad to have me stay the 6 weeks with he and the young lady Jo, our hostess the mother of Unity a girl of 10 years then … and in October 1937 he received a letter from Aunt Margaret Grote saying how pleased she was that he had agreed to be GUARDIAN to her niece Greta Greetah Ransom … she had heard from Mary Gordon … He would be hearing more …

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON TIGGY GROTE & PHILANTHROPY
 b 1841/2 - killed ARRAN 1904  :   he used the Alphabet twice circumnavigating … hence Uruguay and Uzbekistan …  In the 1890s he forgot where he had put a new HOME - so he telegraphed all HOMES to report to GROTE BROKERS NEW YORK with addresses … after that he organised a telephone around the world routine … His wife Margaret nee Ransom encouraged the children worldwide to chose art works they would like for their HOMES … In 1960 ANDRE MALRAUX began a catalogue of what had been acquired … he said  …
  “ She, Margaret,  Girl of the SNOWS,  had more art works than the Louvre … ”   

Our great-aunts Miss Bessie Martha and Miss Annie Agnes Williams had many pieces of information here - they knew Aunt Margaret Ransom Grote from 1934 …  and Len Immanuel Ransom b 1921 FLYER Athlete musician Artist was welcomed at `Stella Maris` from 1933 after the marriage of his elder brother Frederick John Ransom to Teresa E. Gordon … My birth 1933 March in Colchester had a party of the RANSOM families come to greet their new member … I am given the name `Greetha` Greta = a child of family of Margaretha … Thus another little East coast of Britain and West Greenlander - with the addition of INCA from my grandmother JEAN nee Weddell ballerina = 1909 Mrs Frederick Charles Frobisher Ransom son of JOHN RANSOM the brother of Margaret Grote …  

In the `scaffolding` `1937 SUMMER`  Document in 3 Parts approx. 3,000 pps & photos etc  www.greta-ransom.com … is included the history of Grote Homes, its founder Tiggy Grote USA citizen age 22 years when he began … leaving THE RANSOM FAMILY SHOELESS as he charged across USA the Pacific Asia and Russia Continent   (Full Acceptance by VATICAN 1870 for all Catholic nations to have Grote Homes)  and some Arab nations =  China , Afghanistan etc…. The British Lords of Government objected in 1884 - a home existed in Adelaide until 1956 … but Australia was not yet freed from the British Empire …

 … TIGGY  (his mother a great-niece of Frederick Immanuel KANT) is a son of GROTE BROKERS New York … ward of Fred Ransom from 11 years of age, he had just married Margarethe Ransom only daughter of Fred Ransom and Gertrud Poulsen of West Greenland, Norway, Montrose Scotland and `Jacopsholmen Island off the coast of West Greenland a 2 hour slow boat journey from XRISTENSHARB out shopping town from 1770s …

Fred Ransom (b c 1800 - d c 1880s)  father of the bride   (about no 17 of the FR line from 12th & 13th centuries when we sailed under the Flag of Queen Margareth of Denmark who had A Monopoly on Greenland Trade)   had a wedding dress in scarlet made for his only daughter in Spain encrusted with gems … The De Beer ladies of South Africa sent her a collar for it - of bracken diamonds so as not to interfere with the beauty of
A BRIDE IN SCARLET AGAINST THE SNOW … Fred Ransom had invented for de Beer, friends,  a system of pulley and trucks which saved the workers in the mines from terrible back-breaking work … he gave the invention to them for free …

 … When the De Beer ladies heard TIGGY had left RANSOM Estate and family shoeless they sent the new bride A DIAMOND HAIRNET …
… so she might dine out around the world looking regal …
…  EVEN IF SHOELESS …

You can see a drawing of TIGGY by Edward Lear - `an old man who did not know what to do …`   Tiggy was 19/20 years old at this time - we had a Villa and Estate on Corfu and Welfare services …

But GROTE HOMES was swiftly understood by all Nations OUTSIDE the British Empire …  soon money dropped from the skies of all nations to help with the HOMES superb education, quality is taught and not GET RICH, all religions, three or four languages and accepting children from 4 or 5 years -  The children of each HOME at real HOMES, over 2,500 worldwide and many many smaller Homes where needed - I visited with my RANSOM family for 8 months 1935-1936.   Intelligent peoples recognised this education would have the children emerge at 18 or 22 years ACTING THE GOSPELS OUT … able to enter all the professions that were important to the globe … medicine, sciences, natural history, Humanities, music, athletics - gym for women, the arts …

… This was what happened - and Peoples stayed home in their nations where they had the benefit of a Grote Home and its settlement and lands close to them …they learned from the system … compared to `A DELICATE FLOWER GARDEN AROUND THE EARTH - a golden girdle … Investments were put in these nations from RANSOM `Joyous Venture`  and lands around the HOMES and other people impressed by what they saw :    The whole Estate in the Will 1937/1938 of Margaret Ransom Grote is called  GROTE HOMES FOR CHILDREN & RANSOM ESTATE - ESTATE IN 3 PARTS :   
 

SAD TO SAY  … `SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT`    :   WILLIAMS - BUTLER - GORDON families …
 with their tradition of Welfare …  understood swiftly after the RANSOM marriage of 1932 that they could help with the administration … take part how they wished … make a career … visit for holidays … Another WAR CAME 1939 September …

1940s - 1950s REPORTS - IMPORTANT IMFORMATION :    here are from Miss `Aunt Terry` Teresa Mary BUTLER … to she from her brother JOHN BUTLER … 1954 Uncle Sir John Edmond O`BRIEN … the older CARROLL families … (it can be followed through the Document in 3 Parts `scaffolding`  ` 1937 SUMMER` … GATES OF HELL are opened by Aunt Terry BUTLER December 1959 … by John BUTLER 1961 early summer … and other good people …   Short pieces are an introduction - in RANSOM Ancestry and GROTE HOMES files,  some on web as separate Reports … such as NAIL in your HEAD etc … and  `I CAME IN ON A WAVE OF HATE` Andre Malraux Summer 1961 after the death of his two sons ages 21 and 18 years in a car …  you have to locate them … sorry, the WNota bene :    ( 2nd File WILLIAMS-GORDON pages )  

TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST her work and her life, her descendants :

Report :  a speaker who knew her :  the name may be found as we procede with this gigantic work  `1937 SUMMER `

“ … Teresa Carroll, a face calm and magical, serene … she had no money at the end (1882) … her Murray family had begged her to return when she found she could not teach Classics as a married woman - her husband found no work for his silverwork - the beautiful old house of a former wealthy Manchester Merchant was encroached upon as land was sold off about them … they would get no price … she hesitated too long - perhaps she felt that the sculpture would sell and she and he would be recognised for their joint work … ?   Five little girls - always neatly clothed, they were regular Catholic churchgoers … one son John … the little girls all with the same inspirational WILL … a gentle force to do good in the world ...

She had work with a young sculptor named Cumphry Pendlebury I think … She died 1882 and is buried in Manchester … ”
 (no name for speaker yet … )
 

MEMO :  Greta Ransom  :   I think the young sculptor Pendlebury  he used a Greek-Romanized name for his sculptures   (PENUMBR ? Something like that ? - perhaps she had a similar name for this work ?  ) … one I saw in photograph is of she sitting by the Greek seashore - you do not see her face - her head is bowed towards her lap and her long hair is spread over her lap as she extends her feet towards the SEAS EDGES … she is shown to be deep in thought …

,,,  there were others in photographs - it is the pose that dominates not the person - but the person is clearly very 19th century romantic looking …  

  (  NB :  A John Pendlebury is an archaeologist early 1920s  at `Tel Amarna` the city of Aknaton and Nefertiti … perhaps this is the same family ?   )

1879 - Our great-grandparents move from DUBLIN to MANCHESTER

The house bought by TERESA Murphy Carroll CLASSICIST and her Superior Silversmith & Inventor husband JOHN WILLIAMS is A BIG MANCHESTER MERCHANTS HOUSE of the 17th century - I GR only recall seeing newspaper photographs of it being pulled down, either 1948 or early1950s,  when the area was being gutted for development - of course it saddened our great-Aunts, both Annie and Bessie could remember living there - four sisters had memories of their mother and father - Annie Agnes who was 2 years when she died had no memory of her.   But she and Bessie had memories of continuing to live  there with their father :

ANNIE tells of their childhood - and on SUNDAY after we come back from High Mass, aunt Bessie who has gone to the 8 o`clock Mass, will have us come into the sitting-room until 12.15pm  and add information … I would ask about the people they knew, what they did Sunday afternoons … what were their clothes like  :

1945, when I am 12 years old and getting very tall I had given up curtseying to older persons but at this age you did not shake hands but stepped back 12 inches or so and gave a little bow …   I remember Bessie Martha giving me a lesson in etiquette … With her head on one side, and clearly gazing into her memory of herself as a young woman,   “ when crossing a road a lady always touches the side of her long skirt so it does not blow about - she does not cross a street if it has been raining and vehicles may splash your clothes … you take an umbrella and a sunshade on hot summer days … there were places to go … Parks … the Museum and the Art Gallery was now open to the population …
We knew a very few persons in the Arts - because of our parents …  ”  

Both my great-aunts Bessie & Annie Misses Williams would like to quietly speak on their life with their parents - a little about their one brother John …

John Carroll Williams died in Central or South America when Annie was 7 years of age - 1887 - she would quote from his lovely letters - about the countryside, the birds, flowers, colours …   :   

   “ The money paid for the old house was her money, our Beloved mother… He our very dear father was a broken man without her - and sometimes full of self reproach -   For when she could not get work in the Colleges the Murphy Family wanted the family to return - Our relatives came over to say she, with a little family of 6 children, must return to Dublin -   But it was she insisted that we would stay and she would make sufficient moneys from her work with the Sculptor - they would get recognition - then she would be offered a Teaching Post equal to her intelligence :

“ Our father, after her death, he felt he should have insisted we did all return … The Murphy family did not like the idea of us 6 children being reduced to poverty in Manchester - Our mother had to take any low teaching and this was private families - families who wanted instruction for young children or young girls …  only in general history … sometimes boys who were learning Latin or Greek … But it did not pay well … and too much of it could be tiring for her …   ”  

“  He, our dear father,  could not get the work he was trained to do - there was now little money for this fine work - rich people had to be more careful with their moneys.   Your Aunt Bessie and I would always see that there was a dish of hot food cooking in the big iron oven - so that when he came in tired there was always something nourishing to eat ... We would have his slippers warming by the oven in wintertime and his bed warm and comfortable.   He would sit with his head low some nights … He found work in great buildings - they needed gilded work, plaster casting - he invented a way of safety for men working on high ceilings … We did without our servant and we did not need a Nursery maid as their was only me … one small girl now …

1990 -  He our father died when I was 10 years old … we had to bury him - now we had lost both our parents … it was a very sad time for all of us.   We could have gone back to Ireland … but we did not want to leave them in their graves … … … … …

Poulter referring to me as  `Our British CAMULODUNUM young Maid of all Work - his delightful letters are webbed on two of my sites  :     )    

NB :    We of the early 20th century are born into most dangerous times and our families encountered the old ignorant IMPERIAL privileged grasping for lands and moneys to keep up their BIG TIME   =  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


…  I will try in these following pages to give the READER the quality and ambiance of our families …
  ( ambiance = Latin - AMIRE  = to go round … )  and the undercurrents of danger …


MEMO :     `FIGURES from A MORGUE`     my startled great-grandma MINERVA OLIVEA nee HESKETH  (= Mrs James Weddell II )   commented at the relatives of her new son-in-law 1909 = they tried rush her to their British Solicitors saying they would take care of her USA moneys and properties …    
She composed ballads since 15 years of age, played them in public with her pet owl on her shoulder/until he got too big/  and was better known for a hymn book `EVENSONGS` (5 editions)   
 

 ` Oh   F I G U R E S    F R O M    A   M O R G U E `  !   

  said the startled North American sophisticated well-off Minerva-Olivea  …  upon meeting the family narcotic growers and criminally insane relatives of Scotland and Britain/who seem to have gate-crashed this wedding as others / … Reference the Premier Earls of Lindsay Crawford/Lindsey at the wedding 1909 of her daughter JEAN Weddell ballerina  (widow Aquida-Smith)   to Frederick Charles Frobisher Ransom … ( my grandparents Ransom )   I have often wondered if Great-Grandma MIN set her apt phrase to Music - perhaps among old sheet music somewhere a ballad called  `FIGURES from a MORGUE`  ?  

She has one ballad called `Riders of the Apocalypse` (it seems to be the original tune of the 1920s `Ghost Riders in the Sky` ) … MIN has been writing music since she was 13 years of age and publishing since the 1870s … she was raised next to a Shaker Settlement - her parents came from Bavaria and farmed after both taking education in Philadelphia -   (  We used to own a little apartment over a Chocolate shop in Vienna which was the site of the home of her parents c 1800s … I recall seeing it when I was 3 or 4 years old … )  

 

D  A  N  G  E  R   :      1880s - 1900s and onwards  :   I will try explain,  in simplicity,  what our LEADING MEMBERS of OUR FAMILIES have to cope with when they enter or are born into Families GORDON & lines, and RANSOM and lines … We all connect by a marriage 1932 of Teresa Elizabeth GORDON and young Frederick John RANSOM  :   

A coincidence is the PERSECUTION for LANDS and MONEYS from having the criminally insane of the Scottish British Scandinavian Nobility pawing about us … they ROB US … of lands and banked moneys overseas … THE BRITISH EMPIRE declining, tottering, is typical of EMPIRES declining and falling …
   

 (  … READER can sharpen their wits by dipping into the volumes of that GREAT READ by Edward Gibbon  `DECLINE and FALL of the ROMAN EMPIRE `   :        you will grasp some facts … if you are already familiar with this Work then take a refresher course - some of us have had to live with, or always be watchful of the IMPERIAL coin-less criminally insane  :     Read a few pages … then before you sleep turn a page or two of INGOLDSBY LEGENDS to keep your balance … or you might turn to a companion of our Great Aunt ANNIE Agnes Artist and read three or four pages of the respected life-work of LUCRETIUS `De rerum natura` = ON NATURE`  …

…  Nota bene :     SHIPS that PASS in the NIGHT … SUMMER 1937 I am telling Georges-ANDRE Colonel MALRAUX  ( come out of BLOODY SPAIN )  of an Uncle who died before I was born … I said `our Dear Tiggy … he used to go around the world with JESUS on one shoulder and LUCRETIUS on the other … finding the dear children who had no parents and no homes …`    BUT his reply made a shadow of a SIN on his IMMORTAL SOUL  =  HE REPLIED WITH TOO MUCH OF HIS QUICK FIRE   ( JOSETTE and I are curing him of this … )   `NO !   THEY DID NOT LIVE IN THE SAME CENTURIES `

I tell my Jean ballerina my grandma late October 1937 … ` HE HAS NOT MY PERSPICACITY I THINK ` …. My young Uncle Lennie  (Len Immanuel Ransom)  is a compulsive DIARY KEEPER … LEN READS THIS OUT to the new MINISTER OF FRANCE ANDRE MALRAUX in 1960 …     

… Of course, 1937, I intended convey to this FRENCH very young MAN of LETTERS the PHILOSOPHY of TIG/Tiggy - THOMAS IMMANUEL GROTE founder of the GROTE HOMES for CHILDREN 1864 …. … …
It was like having a big brother that Summer 1937 … The RANSOM family away in SPAIN at a RESCUE that turned into a most hideous tragedy …

MEMO :       READER has to understand the POWER of the British IMPERIAL CLASS SYSTEM … and you will only grasp this from experience and study …
The assembling of Records of many good persons appear through the years in the work I was requested to do from 1981 appears www.greta-ransom.com  :   I call it `a scaffolding` of 20th century history :  1981 Computers had just begun - electric typewriters were very good … people of my age learned touch typing … We girls put our letters,  shopping lists and household MEMOS on a typewriter = it was quicker for us …
   

CLACTON-ON-SEA and our immediate SEAS EDGES  :
 

1931 - `Our Bessie` - Bessie Martha Miss Williams had occasion 1931 to call in the SOUTHERN IRISH RUGBY or Football Team to our SEAS EDGES  :     they beat up the Earl LINDSAY Gang fetching them out of their GRAND one night at 9.30pm when they had been drinking for an hour or two   :   this may have been a JUDGEMENT because of the LINDSAYBUGGARHS near killing a Priest and injuring badly a Nun - she died after 9 months … Little Miss Holy Bessie Martha Murphy- O`Brien- Carroll-Williams had reported the violence to Ireland  … The LINDSAY were found in the dawn piled in a pyramid upon the Holland-on-Sea beach … they had broken ribs, collar bone, legs and arms … they were about 2 months or more in hospital and Clinics being mended  :   

Her sister Annie Artist said that she did not know whether to laugh or cry … the idea of her Holy elder sister organising this … but it was known generally, and to the very happy Police forces around, that our Bessie, Miss Williams had been responsible for this very sensible lesson taught the LINDSAYBUGGARHS …  Next year Ireland became a Republic - Mary Helena their sister immediately changed British Passport for an Irish passport stamped 1932 …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


OUR FAMILIES and the LINDSAYBUGGARHS - a family connexion is through the great-great-great grandmother of Greta Ransom born 1933 :  But we refuse, on account of their crimes, to acknowledge them as Cousins … although THEY TRY IT ON as we have MONEYS …

1910 at CLACTON-ON-SEA The LINDSAY Crawford Premier EARL No 12 BUILT A BOLT HOLE ON A NARROW PIECE OF LAND FACING THE SEA BETWEEN ROYAL HOTEL & TOWERS Apartments - east-north side of The Clacton Pier … this piece of land had been used to put the horses and the dogs in the 19th century when THE ROYAL HOTEL was a fashionable place to stay in … frequented by many aristocratic aesthetes … Violet Lindsay ARTIST  (Lady Rutland)  cousin to Millie Frobisher Mrs JOHN RANSOM would come with her sketch book …
 ( … Mill and John are he grandparents of my father Young Fred John Ransom born 1911 = killed March 1969 … )


((((  … READER interested in East Coast Britain SEA TRADER families can turn to my CENTENARY work for he my father to know something of him - he is my Pedagogue until 1939 and WAR TAKES ALL OUR MEN AWAY  -    My Father is the young man FJR that his sister-in-law ESTHER Mary nee GORDON Mrs Frederick POTTER 1937/  will remember as   
 
` … … … looking like A YOUNG TEUTONIC KNIGHT - he spoke of the most interesting things about the world … I met his father too … he told me the family ancestry … their were old paintings and books all about it in this little house at Deptford … his young mother had died there after his father had died … but he kept the house as it was when he was a child … It was called `Jerusalem` … Our Winifred knew a lot more but she had so little time … I think because Harry and I were the youngest in the family …  `  

Auntie ESTHER-ESTELLE, as we call her in the wartime years, in that last year of WAR 1944, in that memorable House at the End of the REC,  is turning through books with me in our long drawing room -  It is here is the GREENLAND library brought down from JACOPSHOLMEN Island inner arctic circle West Greenland …

 (  The House at the End of the REC   will become a precious memory to ANDRE MALRAUX  - we admired its style, its summer house and garden bordering the REC sand pit for little children, the sheltering miniature hills and the lake for big model boats and little model boats separated by a high bridge  :    He does not know until May 1945 that I now live here … )   

BUT IN 1944 Auntie ESTHER  and children RICHARD and JENNIFER come before dark as we are all  sleeping at nights in the double ANDERSON SHELTER … Flying bombs pass overhead from Germany - some of them crash on our sea coasts and countryside …   RICHARD could remember all this - but I doubt Jennifer can - she was 3-4 years old … Kathryn not born until the War is ended …  ))))  


1923 LINDSAY mob have a bad reputation from the early 19th century … In the 1950s the Earl of ARGYLL warns his wife Margaret SWEETING - she is telling Peter J.P. Whitehead in 1984 what her ex-husband told her   ` WE DO NOT HAVE THEM, the LINDSAY,  TO DINNER … AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH THEM - YOU COME OFF BADLY IF YOU DO - IT IS SAID THAT THEY ARE INSANE …`  

((((  She is not an evil Duchess - that is the PRESS/media propping up the British scurvy NOBS  … but a girl not noble who had a fortune - she was always kind - many people knew she got the wrong husbands … they married her for her money … they did not have her refinements - In the 1920s she would take the coin-less British out for a day in a coach, visit interesting places, give them nice meals … and have THE LOUVRE kept OPEN for her and her party in the EVENING … Malraux and the father of the Whitehead twins refer to her as a good honourable companion … It was known that early 1920s attempts were made to take her inheritance - by saying her mother was not properly married to her father … THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE BOG TROTTING SCOTTISH NOBLES - all coin-less, living by growing that dangerous NARCOTIC DIVINORUM SALVIA SCOTLAND on the Western side - they sell it to child slave labour factories in the BRITISH EMPIRE and run all their overseas BROTHELS WITH IT - & their RACKETS  …       ))))  


And 1923 - the LINDSAYBUGGARHS as they are called, tried stop the building at Clacton-on-Sea of the great Catholic Church on land owned by the Convent of Order of Saint CLARE  :    

The LINDSAY EARL No 12, with Mr JIM Jong PIMP,  visited the families of the two WIDOW LADIES who had commissioned this church asking for  `LIKE SOMETHING WE SEE IN ROME please`  and suggested to their families they were a little mad … AND THAT HE HAD A MUCH BETTER IDEA FOR INVESTING THIS MONEY, the sum of 20 thousand pounds given by them …   He said the two families should immediately VISIT and SPEAK with HIS SOLICITORS …

The Families and the Diocese of Westminster dared DISAGREE with the Premier Earl of LINDSAY Crawford, he No 12 …  

1923 the Clacton Catholic Church commenced again building -
 Its roof of Brazilian black wood was the largest roof put up since Medieval Times … arches and colonnades, high Romanesque windows, an altar with great steps of indigo, blues, and gold glass made at a Glass Works in the LOIRE Valley France  :   `Young PACELLI ` sent an ancient font from ROME, and The VATICAN paid for a high pulpit with a sweep of steps up to it … To be Head Priest came the old Italian friend of Young PACELLI … 1958/9 Pacelli becomes Pope Pius XII … The Church was completed in 1929 …

 MEMORANDUM :    Young Pacelli is an acquaintance and a friend of the Roman Catholic Families MURPHY-O`BRIEN-CARROLL-WILLIAMS-GORDON … The men can call at The Vatican - there is also an Irish American cousin a Dominican there in residence :    And Aunt Margaret nee Ransom, Mrs Tiggy GROTE has been calling with her Ransom family since she was 11 years of age … she goes to luncheon or tea in the Vatican gardens with THE POPE … which ever one it is … Aunt Mag, a strong girl, was born in 1841 … her mother is a grand-daughter of POUL GRONLANDER and his wife Margaret Yates of Carlisle -  Ship Traders - POUL Northern Chinese and Eskimo 6`5 inches tall is a Catechist/Trader/Polymath/genius - he has a correspondence with Pope Benedict 14 The Humanist Pope mid- 18th century …




HESTIA-HEBE … IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET INTO VERY BIG LETTERS THE PHRASE BELOW …  A ROUTE 66 …  





ALL OUR FAMILIES have A ROUTE 66 to the VATICAN 18th-20th centuries … marriage of 1932 Teresa Gordon to Frederick John Ransom has us intertwine - it produces ME Greta Ransom :    both my/our Family lines have trouble from IMPERIAL coin-less vast greed and ignorance :   The BRITISH EMPIRE rules the globe & the SEAS … Its power frightens other nations …

POTTER family :   Marry into GORDON = they are Lifeboat Society/Clacton town & District newspaper/Printers/Masonic Lodge/  - Therefore, Uncle Fred Potter shoulders his responsibilities from GORDON-RANSOM … 1945 onwards he gives me advice - & some to RICHARD -  ` Bloody Treasa - Win did not tell me this - Julie kept in dark - Harry threatened again … Well, keep it from the women & children - can upset education and jobs … your father has to be away …  `    

(((  Uncle Fred Potter has trained 1930s with Boots the Chemists & 1945 works for them in Veterinary Sales East Anglia - A respectable big firm they would not wish our family troubles with IMPERIAL Scotland & Scandinavia to be seen by daylight  :  The cunning nobles who have eyed both families for their lands and moneys do not Act the Gospels Out :    THEIR CLASS has GIGANTIC KUDOS = )))  


1929 c  -  The EARL LINDSAY-LINDSEY GANG now attacked a Priest gagging him and tying him up in a deserted place - he was found before he died … A Nun on holiday standing by a car had her veil tied to a car side mirror and the car immediately driven off … she was badly hurt and died after 9 months in hospital …

The Catholic Diocese of Westminster decided not to prosecute the family of the Premier Earl of Scotland and Gross Britain - that is the Earl no 12 LINDSAY Crawford and a branch that call itself LINDSEY Bethune who were also involved :   the PIMP Mr JIM is reported at both of these vicious attacks = but his friend from their teen years ANGELA is now a Duchess and he accompanies her when she travels the globe on her own - a role was created as a Peace Visitor -

Jim and Angela cash big cheques around the globe on the Estate of Aunt Margaret Ransom Grote - Aunt Mag has asked her to stop and said that she will help her with good wholesome investments which will have her able to run her married household splendidly …ANGELA and her husband and two daughters live in a delightful little house opposite the Mansion of the Duke of Waterloo near the Parks and PICCADILLY .   The Palace is lived in by her father-in-law The Sailor King George V - his wife Mary (of Teck)  lives in a big house of her own in the London Parks.   My Aunt Margareth has known ANGELA Bowes Lyon and her family at Glamis Castle since Angela was 4 years of age in 1904 .    Margareth `GIRL of the SNOWS` is how Aunt Mag is fondly known to scholarly people around the globe   :   

BIG PROBLEM for Police and Town Elders  :    The woman known as ANGELA to Nobles of the British Empire had been a frequent visitor in the all the 1920s & early 1930s to the LINDSAY Bolt Hole on Clacton seafront next to the ROYAL HOTEL  - ANGELA former Miss Bowes Lyon, is now a DUCHESS having married the younger son of the Sailor King  :    The Earl LINDSAY Families put in big letters over the Tudor heavy door  G R A N D  … It was built of heavy grey Scots granite - it seemed to have no windows at the front of this crouching sinister narrow building …

1909 -  A Chelmsford Court, Essex,  in 1909 had tried stop the building because the Builder said the granite was much too heavy for the design … The Earl won … THE BUILDING BEGAN TO SLIP and bulge badly in the 1920s - The LINDSAYBUGGARHS, as all Police Forces and other respectable citizens called them, insisted IT WAS SETTLING DOWN    :    Winter 1944/45 its big door was nailed up by The Town Council - IT COULD ALL COLLAPSE and harm people walking by on the seafront - or give they and their dogs a nasty shock.  

…  ANDRE MALRAUX had photographs of it 1937, and again he, A WAR WIDOWER with 2 DEAD BROTHERS killed by The Gestapo,  took photographs on Clacton seafront early Summer 1945 - they showed this building … He speaks in 1970 and says that by winter 1945/46 it was being demolished and early 1946 it was gone …


…  THE new LINDSAY-LINDSEY (Tucker)  Earl No 14, close chum of JIM PIMP,  went  into The Clacton Town Hall 1946 and removed all documents relating to the BUILDING called GRAND  … A bright Clerk spotted what they were up to … and knew of some reasons why  :    Photos of pre-War Clacton Hospital Carnival were also to be called in by Boy Scouts and other organisations … These photos  sometimes showed the LINDSAY GANG & visiting thugs with two collecting tins … the heavy tin would be for THEM - marked coins were gathered in the Clacton Royal Hotel Bar next door to their BOLT HOLE GRAND …


19th century :    LINDSAY-Lindsey were known to live by MONEY CHANGE FRAUD about the Continental Ports from the 1830s … and were still into INSURANCE FRAUD … sinking ships … sometimes referred to as  `Jarvis Straights black hole crimes`  Coal ships were often sunk - the Mate and skeleton crew escaping - other crew left to sink with the ship - SO NO EVIDENCE - other than that given by The Mate …

…  In 1942 a visit to our Clacton school by Earl in waiting No 14 had many town people remark on he being Vice President of the SHIPWRECK MARINERS SOCIETY … This fat companion of JIM Jong PIMP glared at me, and was rude to the Sea heiress of Castle Hedingham - we both age 9 years are in the same class -   Our headmaster is retired Royal Navy Captain LEAROY - musician/one of the founders of Cyril Sharpe House - he teaches us much Folk music/his pupil earlier was Ernest Dove the boy Soprano well known for singing ` OH for the WINGS of a DOVE `  and his boy soprano HMV record sold worldwide -  

1930s-1940s  -  OUR WORLD OF CLACTON ON SEA and surrounding ANCIENT seashore LANDS of Essex and Suffolk   :   
…  The GORDON-WILLIAMS families came to live here in 1923 and 1930 -   Mary Helena and George our grandparents wanted to be near our great-aunts BESSIE and ANNIE = they had bought their gracious house `Stella Maris` in 1923 because OF THE BEAUTIFUL NEW CHURCH building & the FACT THAT the families of SOUTHERN IRELAND and MANCHESTER have a friend they all call  `YOUNG PACELLI`  in THE VATICAN - and they had an Irish USA cousin,  Dominican Order, living in =

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



BUT   ! ! !        I    H A V E    N E V E R    U N D E R S T O O D     
If the  GORDON WILLIAMS FAMILIES HAD AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE at finding THE LINDSAYBUGGARHS of SCOTLAND sometimes INFESTED the pretty Seafront and small delightful town … AND that there were VISITS from JIM PIMP and ANGELA … ???    ( her mother Mary Helena blamed both of them for leading TERESA astray … she so much younger than they … and then the loss of the GORDON lands was because of them  … and all the money Teresa had earned winning for Lord Athlone - he and her father had invested this … but it disappeared …  )    

… Were my grandparents one afternoon happily shopping, sitting under the tree with the circle of seats around in the Clacton town centre, or strolling along the seafront and they  SUDDENLY SEE the MONSTERS of the DEEP and JIM PIMP … and learn that they had a BOLT HOLE … ???   

 Great Aunt ANNIE taking me for a seafront walk would sing `we take the low road` if her MONSTERS of the DEEP were staying in their GRAND … She would sing `we take the high road` if the town was clear of them :   Police had a warning system for the vulnerable … We would be told  `LINDSAYBUGGARHS heading our way -got the Bailiffs in - stay away from the Seafront … we will give you some COVER this evening when not so busy … `   A nice Police Force …


LINDSAY/Lindsey Premier Earls known as ` LINDSAYBUGGARHS ` to ESSEX and Norfolk and SCOTLAND and IRISH POLICE Forces claim MONEYS out to 9th digit of anyone who weds with them … Our Ransom relationship is distant and comes 1830 via the mother of the mother of the mother of my Grandpa FCFR - I have one grandma of 16 grandmas three/four times back … LINDSAY-Lindsey are known as professional HOOKERS/PIMPS like many Scotland nobles who lived so : they cull and rob with terrible violence = MY FATHER young Fred Ransom was very angry with Miss Aunt Winnie 1938 when she had me meet and curtsey to No 12 Earl of LINDSAY Crawford … She said `he is the Head of your Household` … Her mother and young Harry were angry with her too … She is hoping for a husband ?  The EARL talked of breaking the GROTE RANSOM Estate up and seeing if I could have a PORTION when I got to 25 years of age  :   THE ESTATE is pure PHILANTHROPY … half the HOMES are in Roman Catholic Nations around the world … the Estate is the joy of nations outside the BRITISH EMPIRE and its LORDS and SONS all coin-less … AND `young PACELLI` has visited many HOMES in Europe and has sent to him the quarterly Reports … he also understands how Aunt Mag`s `Joyous Venture` funds the HOMES … and that all our INVESTMENTS in Transport are with good safety standards and that this has been so since the 1830s when her father and mother organised the RANSOM-Gronlander Estate :    Julie said she was not drinking - but she felt these TOFFS slipped her a Mickey Finn … she a spinster …   

 www.greta-ransom.com includes their persecution of O`Brien etc/Gordon etc/all Ransom families  :

You would gather from the Daughters of TERESA Murphy CARROLL WILLIAMS  :   …  ` … The young should not fail to know the PAST, the PRESENT … or you will not know what is best for the FUTURE …`  :  … 19th century reasoning, philosophy …  of John  Ruskin and many humanist persons of the 19th century  :   Bessie and Annie and friend, helpers, had read aloud at Manchester and Liverpool evening gatherings 1880s-1890s, 1900s   :


`… FORS CLAVIGERA - Letters to the Workmen & Labourers of Great Britain … Annie explaining  ` Mr Ruskin could be difficult for many simple people we were helping … but reading the Letters slowly, discussing with our audience, they could now frame their own thoughts … understand matters … it was from their questions you knew they understood … But the most urgent matters were seen to at the same time … We persuaded farmers to bring us clean straw … and a factory to give us free tough cotton material … so we could get mattresses made up for the families … that way others began to help with necessary items …`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


1945 June THE SEA MISTS SUPPER  :   

 Our great-aunts The Misses Williams, Bessie and Annie,  have been telling the fragile ANDRE  he now a Widower with two dead brothers  of when they began their MISSION 1890s at Walton, Liverpool, and what was attached to it … they had to all keep low profile … some respectable women came to help but did not wish their husbands to know as it could go against them in business …


…  Here further tragedy could have been halted by BESSIE & ANNIE if they had spoken of his Guardianship to the Estate of Margaret Aunt as well as to Greetha.    BUT they had no idea he had not received the Will 1938 - and that their niece Miss Win ex-ATS held a courtesy copy of that Will from January 1938  = that she knew he their dear Andre had not received his copy and that she now had him believe he was a simple GUARDIAN to Greta Ransom …

… That this past week of June 1945, upon meeting him for the first time,  she had not informed ANDRE or Professor WINNCLEMAN whom she had known since 1944,  that Colonel Andre Malraux was appointed in the WILL as GUARDIAN to the heir and sub-heir and full Estate in 3 Parts GROTE HOMES and RANSOM `Joyous Venture`  … that great circle of philanthropy encircling the globe A-Z  :     Homes educating in HUMANISM and several languages children from 4 years to 18 or 22 years of age … that this encircled the globe twice and was begun by Tiggy 1864  A - Z every nation with their approval and often on ancient RANSOM lands acquired from foreign marriages  :   
(  the present generation being from Ransom brides of 14 races and 27 nations  )   :   

 
1963 September :   Andre, Minister of France, hears from Miss Win Gordon …   
`that she was advised by her sister Teresa Gordon Mrs Ransom and her natural son Mr Edward du Cann that the British Government and Crown did not wish the Estate to continue as it interfered with British Trade -

She did not say that she had always known that the HOMES and the Estate received the full support of the family friend `Young Pacelli`  now Pope Pius 12 … ANDRE says  ` I can only call her `Miss Minni ` …

He tried explain to Auntie Win Gordon that his sons were dead in 1961, killed in a road crash that did not have to happen  :   Because of the THEFT of his documents by the British Government, its Lords and sons, and the Crown every Nation of the globe had its citizens its children killed … That the FRAUDSTERS knowing he had NOT received the WILL or was kept from knowledge of the Estate Guardianship, and from the RANSOM brothers,  messages had been sent from 1946 as if coming from him … and later from him and General de Gaulle …

…  That the obscene DECEIT had been called by General de Gaulle in March 1962 when they finally held the legal WILL in their hands  `A GIGANTIC PIECE OF STATE CRAFT BY GROSS BRITTANIQUE `

Nota Bene :    She seemed to think that everyone who had died had gone to Heaven … ???   So the Aristocrats of BRITAIN and Scandinavia could become rich  ???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


MEMO :    ((((  Miss Win Gordon may have been threatened by Lords and their Sons that they could open the Case 1926/27 against her sister Teresa and find that as she, Miss Winifred, had visited the house for 2 years she should have a prison sentence too … The Convent Woodford Green asked Winifred Gordon to leave the school when the Case began - this was requested by the parents of the younger school pupils … MISS MINNI …

… Julie Butler, grand-daughter of TERESA CLASSICIST,  believed that from 1944 this bastard nephew ED du Cann was offering to find her a husband - Julie Butler says 1983   ` Win was terrified of being a spinster - she wanted to be married with 2 children … BUT SHE DID LIKE MAKING MARTYRS … many a time I packed my case and said I AM GOING BACK TO MANNI … do you remember Greetie ? `   As Julie spoke I understood much more of those tragic wasted years for all of us 1940s-1950s-1960s …

…  Andre Malraux visited to The Pillar House, Harwell, just before his too early death … He came a September evening and again an October afternoon - he had been smuggled out of FRANCE by air and was being taken A LAST PILGRIMAGE to the beach at Holland-on-Sea of SUMMER 1937 that we came to call BEACH of JOSETTE … we could always find her there late afternoon, writing, swimming … waiting for us …  He had come here to recall that happiness every two years at least since 1948 …

Nota bene :    =  NONE OF THIS WICKEDNESS by the BRITISH GOVERNMENT LORDS & SONS and Crowns of Britain and Scandinavia need have happened - but they have pellets of DIVINORUM SALVIA SCOTLAND to put in their snouts to overcome fatigue and keep the face of FIGURES FROM A MORGUE - such pretty pellets, like onyx - colours merge into pale lavender, purples, orangey gilts - torch blown … THIS HITS THEIR ILL EDUCATED BRAINS in 2 SECONDS/Reports made by two great Medical Institutions of the World 1970 after some years of TRIALS … `We did not think it could  be used in this form - WE FEAR THEY MAY EVEN BREED INSANE `  …  

… So many lives lost in ugly violence from them since 1880s -  objecting to education for other nations - figures for the education standards of the British Empire are among the three lowest in the world  :    A class ill bred and ill educated,  they have wasted all they have stolen in glitzy lifestyle … THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED FOR THE 20th century - or they never could have covered up the GENOCIDE of the worldwide GROTE HOMES CHILDREN commencing Norway 1938 for Xmas … travelling through wherever GROSS BRITAIN sailed in, or put its ARMY BOOTS 1939-1946  :  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MEMO :   As Reports detail  `The Territorial Armies and colleagues, from 1960 June onwards began to CULL them where they had members of NAVY-ARMY-AIRFORCE see the monsters attacking the GROTE CHILDREN worldwide … they gave some of them `it back` … You will not follow this unless you read the Reports from observers who refused to take part 1938-1946 … and crept away … a half dozen had to change their names … they go live far away  :   Here our Grote-RANSOM Estate helped where it could  :

Some good citizens, employed in that other War 2nd World War  …  a result of the 1st World War …  had collected in photos, Air photos, original photos and GROTE HOMES school books …  strewed on Spanish and South American shores … They had excavated from Grote Homes sites, turned into hotels swiftly by the new BRITISH OWNERS -  many of them from Scotland and Scandinavia   =   They claimed all this for THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT LORDS and CROWNS …  

It is spoken of as A GENOCIDE 1960s …  far worse than NAZI GERMANY =  This had been long in PLANNING - snarls were from the 1980s at TIGGY GROTE USA citizen and his British wife MARGARET RANSOM with a Greenland polymath great-grandpa POUL GRONLANDER that it was in the way of an IMPERIAL CLASS of ill-bred ill-educated in-breeds  :  
Here was not just the MESMERIC personality of a HITLER   :     The British PRESS could have reported upon this from 1946 - but they would have been exterminated - plenty of desperate and ambitious Workers to fill their places  :    

But the Lordly culprits have one ANGELA pushed into the hot seat … and that System was becoming unhealthily and ignorantly and greedily  D I V I N E   …
 
`1945-1960   :   S  E  E  N   :      ` little teeth, finger bones … other fragments… burned … the CHILDREN of the FORMER GROTE HOME that stood from the 19th century upon this land …`
The new owners were now THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT and CROWN … and these were lands upon seashores of the globe - NATIONS THAT WERE NEVER PART OF THE FALLING BRITISH EMPIRE … =  those British, Scandinavian,  Very Noble and criminally insane, of Scotland bog-trotters mentality, were whooping it up in GROSS BRITAIN BY MOONLIGHT … that `apes and Eskimos` would have education when GOD DECIDED SO …
  ( What God would that be ? )

A citizen of Clacton-on-sea, a former Frenchman, lived alongside a GROTE HOME as a child - In 1960 he brought to Law Detective Arthur Malone his notebooks - copies were made  :   He says
`ANDRE and GREETAH … of the same age really … because of circumstances …`    His wife sometimes taught at various schools, literature and music … they were part of the small decent town of Clacton-on-Sea  :   I last saw her in the Convent of Saint Clare Christmas 1945-New Year 1946 - but they monitored us … because they had admired Mary Gordon, and could talk in that HIGH INTELLIGENT WAY with our great-aunts Miss Bessie and Miss Annie Artist …  A FULL REPORT appears in `1937 SUMMER` under dates 1960/61 …

I am the great-grand-daughter of TERESA CLASSICIST … Mrs John Williams … and I have learned from her daughters, as well as my worldwide family RANSOM to ACT THE GOSPELS OUT …

WILLIAMS-GORDON-RANSOM families :   ALL OF US ARE HERE VERY MUCH INVOLVED :    `Young PACELLI` writes and speaks on the telephone that he is delighted … ( put this into LATIN )   It is agreed he, young WRITER, French Georges-Andre Malraux  ( age 36 years 3rd November 1937 )  is the chosen GUARDIAN …

…  it is never questioned whether he knows yea or nay of the worldwide ESTATE … READER can see his travels up to this date - and his published books  `Conquerors/Storm in Shanghai- or La Condition Humaine/Temptation of the West/etc    :  

  WOE - he did not know …
 READER can read his replies in `1937 SUMMER`   

SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE DARK  :   ANDRE MALRAUX says  -   ` Once - when I was a very young man I sat upon a wall by the sea in Brittany - an old man sat there - he told me how a GODDESS had come 1880s with her tiny son - he was supporting his mother and two younger siblings - he fished with a net he cast about his knees  :  

… She spoke with him after a week and learned his father was dead - she had told him about Fishing methods in the Arctic -  The next week she asked if she could buy him a boat - they went to her Bank and she said   `you do not pay interest - when you are making money you come here and pay back what I have paid … if you have too many FISHES then you can take them to the HOME for CHILDREN`    She took him to see the lovely HOME for orphans … he prospered with his little boat - later when he married his sons received education - one now a NOTAIRE in Paris, the other was a FISHERMAN with a big boat here - both had families …

Years on …  ANDRE says, in sorrow,  that he never asked the name of his GODDESS -  His only excuse - that he was a very young man …

Early 1920s - AGAIN SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT … he heard of a GODDESS … this time he saw her in PARIS, with very eminent learned men -  He was not introduced - he was a very young man who wrote stupid things … but he tried  :   a Publisher had told him what he thought of a book he gave him … `  I stuffed it in a rubbish basket beside the Seine … `      `YET ONCE I SAW A GODDESS … she came FROM THE SNOWS …`  

 He says that he will never forgive himself his ignorance … but he was a very young man … Then he went EAST … returned … went EAST again … he wrote a book that made a little money … `The Conquerors` I think - it is very perceptive … yes and has perspicacity …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1937 SUMMER -  JOSETTE and I decided to give his SOUL a clean-up and polish …  He used to stand me on a table or a high place and say   `SAY IT AGAIN IF YOU DARE` … When I offered him my advice - with the approval of JOSETTE … he had to learn to halt his QUICK FIRE …  We are cleaning up his IMMORTAL SOUL = I tell him that his Guardian Angel sits crying in the corner of his soul … and he must stop his QUICK FIRE … and think first …`   

…  At first his response is  `SAY IT AGAIN IF YOU DARE`…   Years on he says   `it had me fall of my bloody perch - more like an 8 years old - she was given to thought and telling us her thoughts … I had not met yet her father, a young man who could run a REPUBLIC better than me … like FRANCE `   (1957-60s Saint Edmund House, 50 Lancaster Gate Square, London )  

We really did give him a spiritual SPRING CLEAN - or he would not have been approved of by Mrs de Gaulle !!!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      

1904 TIGGY GROTE USA citizen, founder of the GROTE HOMES for CHILDREN worldwide in nations outside the declining BRITISH EMPIRE  :    TIG was murdered on ARRAN, where his wife owns 98 acres since 1870s-1880s - they had STOPPED the growing of the dangerous narcotic by SCOTTISH NOBLES - the island was covered in it and life expectancy by the workers was 30 years little more.   

((((  This is the Island ARRAN Western Hebrides that eldest grandchild of TERESA CLASSICIST, our Aunt Teresa Mary `Terry` Butler, visited in 1933 October - and got the Summer Police Report on destruction of the library of Holy Books and Bibles worldwide from early centuries made by Thomas Grote … kept in the house his wife owned  `The Grange` - 3 paintings by Gericault were burned and her LEAD trinket box had been emptied and the broken box thrown beside a Well -

For two days THE HOLY BOOKS were wheeled to the Jetty and all thrown into the SEA - Fishermen passing saw this - The Visitors   were the usual ARISTOCRATS … The babe was left in a bucket in an outside privy for two weeks - local women had crept in at night and fed it - It was discovered to be a tiny girl - a niece to Aunt Margaret Ransom Grote …

POLICE said `THEY WERE READY TO PROSECUTE the lot of them  including THE EARL of LINDSAY … they had left the Island after the rampage … the baby was discovered nailed under floor boards at the entrance to the house - The noble party had been gone about 20 hours leaving by boat for the mainland :    babe, a girl, was naked with a purple cord around its neck - It was found because a dog would not come to its master - and the babe was heard moaning under the floorboards  - In some hours it would have died -      The Noble Party were due to return to the Island in November - they intended getting BBC to call for ARREST of Margareth Grote - announcement would say she was a Witch and had killed this baby -


THREE WOMEN CAME UP TO SCOTLAND by train …

… after the Police information was related to Clacton Police Station and they to pass to the family Gordon - A Miss Winifred Gordon, aunt to the child, and her two cousins, Miss Winifred Butler and Miss Bessie Butler … THE EARL OF LINDSAY told them this matter could harm HIS FAMILY - the Family solicitors on the Mainland of Scotland were threatened - but POLICE     were confident they would proceed - expose this madness  :  

But three women agreed with the Earl of Lindsay and the PROCEEDINGS could not continue - Police said they were shocked by such a decision from three spinster Roman Catholic women :     Mary Helena and George Gordon, my grandparents, were never told of this intended murder of me -  Miss Win Gordon and her two cousins kept it to themselves :  

…   But the matter of an atrocity 1933 arises at the Clacton MARITAL COURT of 1946 -  My young father, 22 years, now Captain Ransom British Army had never been told either :

and writing TRUE FAMILY HISTORIES - accurate HISTORIES of the 20th century … WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE …    

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1946 September - My father is granted CUSTODY of all we three children of the Marriage - The two sons are to go to a Prep school …

… The squalid spiteful remarks to the Marital Court about 13 years old Greta Ransom from a Mr Edward du Cann 22 years old, with a spoof Solicitor, a de-frocked accountant, were dismissed by the COURT   - Miss Winifred Gordon ex-ATS had asked that he might make a statement - She did not say this is a BASTARD of my sister Teresa Gordon … this all unfolded during the proceedings -   MARITAL COURT decision & another Court at Chelmsford = that Teresa Gordon Mrs Ransom go into a Lunatic Asylum until the children of the marriage were all finished education - this would be 10 years - 1956 -

B U T        Mr bastard Edward du Cann told his aunt Miss Winifred that he did not want his JOLLY MOTHER locked up - IT COULD INTERFERE WITH HIS CAREER -  He does know well enough that his mother was in Holloway Prison 1926-1931 - and returned to Prison 1941-1943 … that her sentences are also for VIOLENCE and sedating people … using their moneys and properties - and that her NOBLE FRIENDS join her in this …   

The Court had dismissed all his remarks learning more about him :   He had been telling his Aunt Miss Gordon that she was `PORTIA`  -  He is from a family who grow fields of DIVINORUM SALVIA SCOTLAND - an illegal crop which fetches a lot of money sold to factories in the British Empire employing very tiny children - 4 years onwards - and Noble Britain and parts of Diplomatic Force run brothels to keep down EXPENSES for the `old Empire` …


`WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE - but Mother Britain loves us still … will teach us how to wash our hands …`

READER may enjoy a CD of these IRISH BALLADS - I have taped early records from the 1950s - The favourite of Uncle Harry Gordon was `Smashing of the Van`  I rather like  ` …  for 14 years I have been living all alone/… so now me daughter is married and well-for-to-doo …`     1930s Granny Gordon would sing them - and her sister Annie Miss Williams …   

1933 September -  It was now advised the horrible matter be kept from Mrs Margareth Grote … POLICE were angry that they could not bring a CHARGE against LINDSAY Earls …   ))))
 

1904 -   the  murder  of  TIGGY - THOMAS Immanuel GROTE  :   
The ESTATE is now kept very low profile to protect the worldwide GROTE HOMES CHILDREN because of BRITISH GOVERNMENT LORDS and their screwball dope-soak ill educated SONS … & the British CROWNS now becoming more and more DIVINE and ill educated since 1900s … Queen Victoria is end of the line with erudition = if her husband ALBERT had lived perhaps TOP CLASS ignorance would  not have prospered so …

( NB:    History of THOMAS GROTE HOMES has appeared in document in 3 parts `1937 SUMMER` & a separate Work is being placed here on JIMDO site … )  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  


1937 October - young ANDRE MALRAUX  :   he believed he had accepted GUARDIANSHIP of the child Greta Ransom … Mary Gordon had received a letter asking WOULD HE CONSIDER IT … He said he would be happy to …

…  he wrote and immediately telephoned to Mary Gordon that ` he and Josette would be happy to accept - they had become a UNIT a FAMILY with she and her family that SUMMER`   …  He had given to Granny Mary Gordon, before left in September 1937,  an address he and Josette used for their private lives - it was not known to others in France :    He received a letter swiftly in late October 1937 from Margaret Grote Aunt to Greta … in her handwriting it said  `she was very happy he accepted GUARDIANSHIP to her niece … and THAT HE WOULD BE HEARING MORE … `   she signed it Margaret Grote -

She, Margaret Grote,  did not give him an address - he could not recall in the 1960s which nation this letter had been sent from … he had tossed the envelope behind him - there were a number of letters from their friends …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1970 January - ANDRE MALRAUX Retired as Minister of France 1969 when he and General de Gaulle left Office  :   ` We could no longer tell who was telling the truth … he left first, I followed … we had done what we could …`

HE SAYS during the visits evenings January 1970  :   `I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED - IT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR … IT WAS WHAT I COULD DO … Your Government, Peter, stole my POST … I have received violence … from YOUR GOVERNMENT … `    

 ( … meaning Josette dies first -  1961 May their two sons Pierre and Vincent 21 and 18 years old … a car crash … Uncle Harry Gordon is asked to GO OVER to France - check the car :    He came to Colne Engaine and said  `its not in the car -  its perhaps something they were given in a bottle to drink … had with them …  `   

1961 - Arthur Malone and Philip Silverlee and others their age, 60 years, say  ` … its dare devil driving … they all learned it at BROOKLANDS 1920s …you drive at someone you know - they think you will pull up and talk - but they do not - the innocent driver tries swerve to side of the road … crashes … `  

…   This is one of many such spoof accidents listed by Detectives, colleagues, witnesses, in sympathy for Andre Malraux -  He appointed by the world outside GROSS BRITAIN EMPIRE, the legal GUARDIAN to a great piece of PHILANTHROPY worldwide - THOMAS GROTE HOMES & RANSOM `JOYOUS VENTURE`  which took the whole world FORWARD on a CIVILIZED COURSE - all races, creeds …

…  The Elders in our families Britain/IRELAND/USA/South America …  knew that my father and a small nation bereaved of its GROTE HOMES CHILDREN had put a road of REMEMBRANCE across the lands - This could only be uncovered once a year and a Walk made upon it -  Its location had to be kept secret - or the BRITISH SCUM would come and bomb it  :   In this little Nation they only had pieces of their GROTE CHILDREN ages 3/4 to 19 years,  from a pit, and a net full of them sunk off shore =  children who could speak 3 or 4 languages by 12 years of age … who would enter Sciences/medicine/horticulture/administration  /music … and HAD NO WISH TO BE GLITZY and immoral … Grote children made good marriages and had happy families = they had come from A HAPPY HOME …         
   
( 1937 SUMMER-autumn -  Aunt GIRL of the SNOWS  - she is either in France or Italy - her grandson is a Priest at ROME and we knew she intended visiting he and other friends - she knows the SCIPIO Family - they have lived in the same house in ROME since 1st or 2nd century BC … and she may have called on `Young Pacelli` … and she has known all the POPES since she was 11 years of age … but she is NOT a Catholic    :   She has all religions like the children in her HOMES -  whatever her grandpa JACOP POULSEN, eldest son of POUL has them West Greenland  :   

1933 - Our Family Church of JACOP gave me a November christening but not the ceremony planned - JIM came and killed Countess Poulsen who was seeing STORES in for our CHRISTMAS on our ISLAND  - But my father and family took our little planes and snatched up me - I wrapped in LINDSAYBUGGARHS Newspapers as Teresa gets FREE DRINKS off them if she does spiteful things to me and my father and his parents …
 
THE NEWSPAPERS horrified the Eskimo ladies who immediately clad me in warm clothes and a Christening Dress was quickly borrowed … Greta Weddell Frobisher Maureen RANSOM - but surely they gave me an ESKIMO name too ??? … The mother of POUL is named  `little soft white fox paws`  & she is Eskimo and a little French - she travelled to Venice with her family as a child for they have ships - she reads LUCRETIUS in first French translation 1720 …    )

From 1934 - MARGARET nee Ransom widow of THOMAS GROTE … she had to keep hidden from BRITISH noble SCUM -  `   A demand that she LEAVE the ESTATE to THE GOVERNMENT and CROWN - that she knew her DUTY …`   had a nearly successful attack on her life 1934 in Scotland -

1937 September-October :    GROTE BROKERS and the ARGENTINE and ASIA had approved the idea young Writer MALRAUX be GUARDIAN on the strength of his writings and worldly experience :   and in OCTOBER hearing he accepted they were immediately gathering necessary documents   :   These were posted to him at his official address used for his publishers and friends and colleagues … November 1937 onwards  :     

ANDRE MALRAUX A FRENCH CITIZEN = HIS MAIL/post IS  STOLEN by British Government and Crown ORDERS  :   He is now under surveillance by THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT & CROWN  -

1939 September - 2nd World WAR CAME -   there is an attempt to kill him October 1944 - but he could not be found  :
But Josette died  = she is said to have fallen from a railway carriage - a train crushed both her legs - she died in hours - morphine did not work until her last hours … she had received a package of Papers from GROTE BROKERS - it told her of the full GUARDIANSHIP - Her mother arrived at the same time as two British killers -  

1960 Reports are given by her family to the eminent Philip Silverlee and to  Arthur Malone Law detective …
` … that girl has died in this … Josette … we may not tell Andre until we know more … he has a Job to do alongside de Gaulle …

1945 Summer - This was the NIGHTMARE he carried in his head  … Our Clacton families were able to help him - the Church and choir - the Schools - and good citizens of our town and area - he also had two dead younger brothers victims of the Gestapo  …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
 
1938 MAY and onwards :     Andre MALRAUX should have received communications from Grote Brokers New York, Solicitors Argentine and Asia :   he would be expected to understand from his worldly experience that the great Estate kept low profile because of the violence received from IMPERIAL BRITAIN and SCANDINAVIA from 1880s …

… they wanted to get hold of the seashore lands of RANSOM and they disapproved of education as THE GROTE CURRICULUM for nations of `apes, Eskimos, fuzzy-wuzzies, those of a dirty colour - I HAVE GIVEN A FEW OF THE RACIST REMARKS OF NOBLE BRITAIN … muttered at us at humanist gatherings where they have gate-crashed  :  like Ettie of the SOULS at Taplow Court, Clouds the all white house, other big houses maintained with respectability …   

ANDRE MALRAUX - he could have been assured had he received his communications that 1939/1940  a small Committee of old eminent QC & KC figures had ruled  ` THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CANNOT BROKER A PENNY OF THIS ESTATE … it is feared the Government has embarked upon FRAUD …`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1944 October -  T R A G E D Y - to JOSETTE CLOTIS
 
Josette collected letters in Paris addressed to Andre written Summer 1944 from Grote Brokers New York - it was at the address that he gave to Mary Gordon October 1937 …
The LIBERATION of PARIS has happened - There is a British Consul  :   Josette read them on the train back to TULLES - she was in shock at what they contained - she went to a friend and tried to send him a message via the Resistance - Her message had to travel by 4 Couriers - they did not dare have any names - not want to know any details for fear they were caught by GESTAPO -
… ( she has a son of nearly 4 years, and the other 8 months old)  

… message that reached Colonel Andre after her death was  `She was worried about an Island …`   It was not until JANUARY 1960 that his detectives and colleagues knew what Josette had learned … I remember the shocked Arthur Malone Law Detective and Philip Silverlee the pre-war friend of Uncle Harry Gordon, telling me one February evening that winter  ` YOU HAVE BEEN BORN ON A HEARSE … AND THAT GIRL JO DID NOT HAVE TO DIE …

… We may not tell Andre just yet about this … He has had shocks enough and he has to work at his job with de Gaulle …   They had just learned from impeccable sources reporting on OCTOBER 1944  `THE BRITISH CONSUL SENT TWO GUNMEN TO KILL SHE AND MALRAUX … but he was not there … and her mother arrived when they did … THEY HAD BEEN TOLD TO GET ALL THOSE LETTERS PAPERS OFF HER … when they reported that he was not there and she did not know where he was - Resistance work :

AN ISLAND  :  Josette had tried get help for the de Salle Family of Paris, Uncle de Salle and his wife and 4 children … they had been kicked out of the great RANSOM tall wooden warm house with supplies for a year just 2 weeks before Christmas 1939 … They were put in an unheated hut on the seashore … our house wired with explosives … THE ISLAND IS JACOPSHOLMEN 2 hours by chug-chug boat from XRISTENSHARB … We are within the ARCTIC CIRCLE …

… this is the Island granted 1770 for the death of POUL GRONLANDER - And this is where DANMARK has never let us put up the Colleges, University, that the 1770 DECREE states … 1883  GROSS BRITAIN, lead by EARL LINDSAY Crawford has joined them in this bitter rivalry … because of the marriage of Millie Frobisher to JOHN RANSOM brother of Margareth this brute now claims all THE GROTE HOMES and the RANSOM Estate worldwide … and this Inner Arctic Island

 (((  (NB:  most of these creatures have syphilis - that nasty disease progresses in stages of madness … the term `criminally insane` was used for this type of Aristocrat into the 1950s … they are also dope addicts - heroin or the dope `purple plum` = Divinorum Salvia Scotland   )))  

The POULSEN de SALLE family are more closely related to Margareth - but she has been murdered May 15 1938 - The de Salle parents died and 2 tiny sons 1940/41 from exposure to the arctic winter and lack of food - Jim sent a thug to attack Mrs de Salle - Sarah my cousin age 13 and her younger sister survived until 1959 -

((((  B U T     :   1940s, 1950s THE ISLAND WAS OUT OF BOUNDS TO ALL SHIPS except BRITAIN and DENMARK … Island bombed to nothing 1960 June - to stop General de Gaulle and Andre Malraux coming in AUGUST 1960 - planes were British and Danish  :  A Newspaper questions why this bombing - `Greenland should have some status as a Nation `  -  Newspaper told to shut up by Whitehall Centre of British Government …))))   

1939 December -  So that 2 letters were received from them cousins DE SALLE of PARIS,  sent from the Island by a chance caller who knew of the old workshop on the shore by the Eternal Steps   - the letters arrived 23rd December 1939 to Clacton post office who keep post for us :   one letter is written by her father M. de Salle the other by she Sarah … she age 13 years … THEY ARE IN TERRIBLE SHOCK … COLD, hungry, without light, the oil will not last long and then they have to collect drift wood … in THE BITTER COLD
There plight is laughed about at a fashionable party London - the listeners, disturbed - Mr JIM is a bar rat - could not learn where these people were whom he said `would be dead now` … REPORTS

1939 INNER ARCTIC DECEMBER  :   My cousin Sarah age 13  ( Poulsen de Salle )   ‘ we were just making the Cake we always make for Christmas … when they came in 6 or 7 of them in British Army clothes … JIM lead them … we were ordered out … we only had our day clothes as the FURS had not arrived yet from Aunt Frobisher Canada or the new stores … we had found the Ice Caves all empty … yet they were always full of stores enough for two years …  so anyone could have sufficient … Mummy had lived up here for a year when she was young … `

1939 DECEMBER - A Scots skipper heading for SHETLAND had stopped off to do a small job in the workshop … JIM and his Army thugs had left by launch for a big ship two days ago … The skipper said it must be a mistake and someone would come for them - He gave them old furs, fishing tackle, a bag of oatmeal, and told them where there was oil for the old stove and showed them how to light it … He could not take them with him as he DID NOW KNOW WHERE HE MIGHT BE SENT TO … But he made it to THE SHETLANDS  …

He, the Skipper,  took their two letters December 1939 and posted them from The Shetlands … They reached the Clacton Post office 23rd December …

On reading them at our home 112 Vista Road my father went to organise help - to send telegrams - But my mother telephoned JIMMIE Pimp/that bit of vermin as Granny Mary Gordon calls him … He who has at the back of Buckingham Palace  a two room apartment since 1921  -  My mother telephoned while my father was out -She said …  `THEY HAVE GOT LETTERS OUT - very well … I will hear from you … I will be up tomorrow then …  `   (she means to London and that is Christmas Eve )  

My father returned at 4 pm and a telephone call told him to Report to Salisbury Plains immediately …   He said to me  `sorry no Christmas this year - but I will be back ` … I was already feeling drowsy from a lemonade drink my mother had insisted I have as a TREAT … He was sent to The Philippines swiftly …

…  I never saw or heard from him until September 1945 … he returned and said ALL THE GROTE CHILDREN WERE DEAD around the world :     ((( Teresa Gordon and her noble thugs have been sedating people since 1900ss - they say they are stupid - then take their money and properties - its an OLD SCOTLAND NOBLE TRICK … there are others more violent … What Walter Scot did not dare write … )))

THE ABOVE PAGES are about a branch of your FAMILIES who
60 - 80 - 100 years ago knew one another  :     THE FAMILIES MURPHY and RANSOM met in 1857/58 DUBLIN … & WENT TO A BALL in DUBLIN …

…  Margareth my Aunt GIRL OF THE SNOWS described to me her visit with her parents and two brothers and TIGGY their Ward - his family are GROTE BROKERS New York - they take care of our 19 Acres under New York … when we bought it in 1801 it had nothing - Her grandfather built a chalet and put the door and veranda on the North side - there is a little drawing in his diary of 1801 of he DIGGING HIMSELF OUT - the family had been living on ANTIGUA …

Her father is Fred Ransom born Montrose c 1799  =  there are 19 FREDS through the centuries to my father - always Fred, 2nd John =     ` we had sailed down in our Family ship  (`Mary Rose` ?)   from West Greenland from our Island … we call it The Holm … I have brought my lemon silk edged with gold frock that I had made in Paris to play Imogen in - the theatre clothes are made in Italy or Paris … Dublin was a big City … we had thought Ireland was a wild place - our geography teacher seemed to think it was a wild heathen place …     `    
 

Late 19th century and first half of the 20th century YOUR  ELDERS ON ALL LINES KNEW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE … who have married into branches of their families  - to-day we stretch out to GREECE …

… had met them, read letters from them, seen photograph - heard of events in their lives  … The Island was the joy of everyone  -  1937 two sons of a Clacton fishmonger were training in Engineering and Electrics intending to come up with us when we OPEN the ISLAND again - they knew the Island from photographs and Fishermen who reported on this little UTOPIA …   

There was to have been a big FAMILY CHRISTMAS December 1933 - Stores were arriving to the Jacopsholmen Island  - Aunt Mag and Melanie had gone shopping on 5th Avenue - telegrams came from Melanie, who is the eldest daughter of MINERVA nee Hesketh/family home is next to THE SHAKERS/  saying  ` they brought a wheel chair for Aunt Mag but she only perched - so excited that we are opening the Island - Countess Poulsen is there seeing all the Stores in - WE SHOP UNTIL WE DROP    …

1933 - A SOUR RESPONSE TO KIND FAMILY PEOPLE  :  

Miss Auntie Win Gordon read the telegrams - she does not want to come up to the Island 1933 for my first Christmas and christening - Harry and Mary Gordon their mother are going - Grandpa Gordon is not sure - but his brother John Gordon, who has the family seat in Scotland, says he should go …

Miss Auntie Winnie wants to go to Hollywood - but the families only go when Uncle Fred MacMurray is making a film - he takes a big Mansion and plays PIED PIPER  :   But he makes his money on WALL STREET in Insurance - so he can be choosey - or when INSURANCE has been hit !   

… Uncle HARRY GORDON will tell me all about this from time to time  - and Lennie from age 12 years is a compulsive Diary Keeper …  My mother  (she is Teresa Gordon) says she is not going - she says she has given the Island to The British Crown …  She wants a divorce and half of the Estate after a few months of marriage - Harry says `old girl` is mad still - Prison did nothing to help … they all should have gone in … they are putting her up to mischief …`   He will say ` keep cheerful Young Un` … I like my Uncle Harry Gordon -    

1933 - SHE WAS GIVEN A THOUSAND POUNDS by GROTE BROKERS New York for a WEDDING PRESENT - they will give her a thousand pounds each year -  She PUT THE THOUSAND POUNDS ON A HORSE - AND LOST … She went swanking around the British Race Course waving the BIG BET …

My father was told not to give her a big house - it would be filled with LINDSAYBUGGARHS and other SCUM all with a bottle of liquor in each paw - a syringe passed about - dirty living … THEY STILL LIVE AS THEY DID IN THE ROARING 20s …

 MURPHY CARROLL O`BRIEN WILLIAMS FAMILY HISTORIES :

Annie has help with details known better to Bessie her older sister :  “  TERESA CARROLL, our mother - she marries (1865 ?) an educated young man John Williams training as a Superior Silversmith, for there is still a demand at that time for silverware of high quality and design.  It is a well-to-do wedding because his mother is a former Miss Anne O`Brian & they are descended from Brian of Boru who is buried in Rome I believe …

((((   BRIAN of BORU has a plaque in an octagonal Church on the site of the Golden Palace of Emperor NERO … saw it 1986 Greta Ransom Whitehead with little Peter Rathbone Ransom Whitehead age 16 years in August - I said he is a distant ancestor on your Irish side   :   FAO Workers gave `PETE` a birthday party August 21st … He has his PENTAX and thinks he will study photography … takes photos of CATS everywhere … has learned some JAPANESE from a school friend and greeted the Japanese NIKON tourists with a bow - and a phrase he had learned from a popular film - he enjoyed ROME and said to each ancient part `and another HOT RUIN, Mother` …  ))))

PHOTOS by PRRW will be added to this JIMDO site  :    

ANNIE Agnes continues  :   `Our mother, she did not have a gold ring put on at the altar because it was the custom of girls of good education to give the money for the gold ring to the Poor of the Church - put it in the POOR BOX at the wedding … the young husband would then earn sufficient to buy the wedding ring.   They had a scarlet skein of silk put on the wedding finger … It was a custom of the olden days in Ireland I think …`  

`  His father, our grandfather Williams is Welsh but he had died  :  But I go and visit to the relatives of my father - he has his sister & she had two girl children, my cousins Gladys my age & her sister … they live in Wales.    Gladys my cousin took me to her Welsh church and explained their service.   We were both 21 years old.   So I have learned to speak the Welsh tongue & can listen to the BBC programme.    But my sisters have not had the time.    But your grandmother speaks Gaelic & tells me every week what is happening in the DOIL … `

(Colonel Andre Malraux felt he could not learn Welsh after looking at the newspaper Annie has sent to her …& hearing some on the BBC  … and she speaking to him in the beautiful WELSH TONGUE … )

TERESA Murphy CARROLL - `CLASSICIST :      I hear from my great-aunt Miss Bessie and Annie Artist that their father JOHN WILLIAMS is trained as a Superior Silver worker & designer … and that is the proper title of those who train in this fine work  `Superior Silver Worker.     Teresa Murphy Carroll and he marry  ( in ?)   Dublin c 1865.    They go to live in No 12 or 13 Sackville Street, a big house … & a pig was kept in the backyard and fed on scraps …  
   ( This street is now re-named O`Connell Street ? )
 
… They have 5 daughters, Julia ?/Teresa Mary/Mary Helena/Elizabeth Martha (Bessie)/Annie Agnes …  & one son named John - dies in Central America when Annie is 7 years of age - he wrote her wonderful letters - she keeps them in a box … He tells her all about the wonderful countryside and the flowers and birds … He will have her see all this one day …

1878/9 - Teresa & John move to Manchester.    She buys a big old former Merchants House in the City.  Her daughter Bessie
( Elizabeth Martha )  has described to me GR the lovely old place … “ Our mother felt she would be able to get a Teaching post in the new University, the Colleges … but married women with children were not given employment in England.  She could afford a nursemaid and a housekeeper for us … She could only find private families and they only wanted her to teach simple ancient history or a little Latin - nobody wanted to employ her to teach about her Greek advanced learning.  Her work was especially PLATO & HARMONY.   There is a FILE we have received of her PAPERS … her writing on this … Annie keeps them safe …  ”   …

“  Our beautiful mother she worked with a young sculptor who wished to carve the ancient Greeks in the manner he felt they thought about nature and life.   He did full size sculptures of her - she did the writing that goes with the sculptures he now began to make …  

Nota bene :   the name of the young sculptor ?  … something like Pen/um/… bra ?     Or is this the name he used for himself in this PROJECT they were engaged on to further her work and his in teachings at the time of PLATO and the GREEK MIND … ?

…   I may find the name of the sculptor -  in the red files I have labelled `Stella Maris` and 1930s  :    but it may have come from my young Uncle Lennie  (Len Immanuel Ransom)   artist-musician-FLYER,  who could call in on `Stella Maris` 1934-1939 … he is one of their welcomed visitors from 1934 - he is then 13 years old - until 1939 and WAR he and ANNIE talk about styles in ART … & linked to social conditions … and show pieces of their work to one another … and discuss projects …

LIR - Len has travelled the globe since age 4 years old with RANSOM families & at 13 years has four languages - Spanish/English/German and French … some Japanese, Greenlandic, Arabic … PERHAPS HE LEARNED A LITTLE WELSH to please Annie ?    LEN is put in GROTE HOMES schools around the globe … Ransom families all have several languages because of their worldwide philanthropy Estate 18th-20th centuries …
    

ANNIE and Len speaking   :   

“  One piece is she full size … in Greek robes with her long hair spread out … You do not see her face … and she is sitting by the seashore in Greece, her back turned and her long hair spread down & out all over her shoulders …

… He did other statues of her in the Greek clothes .. As you see the Parthenon figures … our relatives in Manchester know of her work with him … and our Irish relatives … `    ( I GR may have seen this statye in a black-white photograph …1930s … )    


“  But she died when I Annie am 2 years of age  ( 1882 ) .  
It was very hard for her to earn enough money - and our father found that there was little demand for Superior Silverwork - there was not so much money for people to spend`   (1870s-onwards)   
 ` He helped with the decorating of some of the new buildings .

1944 - ANNIE and Bessie speaking a Sunday morning after we come from High Mass at 11 am …   ` Our brother also named John Williams was a FREE THINKER & went to meetings.  Our father was not pleased with his views sometimes.  They had arguments.  After our mother died he, our only brother,  was restless … and went to Panama & to Brazil with a Scheme … he would write lovely letters home …`

 ` … Annie has letters from him & he describes the beautiful countryside  that he will get rich and then we will all join him or visit … ( He dies Panama  ( ? )  when Annie is 7 years old, 1887 )


Records :    their names were known in the 1960s - careers in Welfare - Catholic Mission Walton Liverpool - also career of Aunt Terry Butler  (born 1899 to 2nd sister Julia Williams Mrs Butler :   children John/Teresa `Terry`/elder Winifred/little Bessie)   who began working age 16 years & with the Manager of her first job they set about a little Welfare modelled on that of her Aunts Bessie-Martha and Annie Agnes Carroll Williams -  They had begun with Catholic help at Walton LIVERPOOL a Refuge for Seamen = It began to include quietly much work to find sheltering, clean beds, care of children, jobs for those crammed in Cellars = often 20 or more, or crowded into a room = minus water/lavatory facilities/fresh air …   

… MEMO :  THE 2nd BIBLE of Great-Aunt Bessie was NORTH SOUTH Mrs Gaskell … The 2nd BIBLE of the youngest sister the artist Annie Agnes was LUCRETIUS de Rerum Natura …

… (NB :     Latin poet-scientist 99=55 BC - Work de Rerum Natura = ON NATURE translated into French 1720 … read by the Eskimo-French mother of Great POUL GRONLANDER who married Margaret Yates of Carlisle, he Catechist/Trader/Genius/correspondent with the HUMANIST POPE Benedict 14th 18th century …  

… The above are my grandparents 4 times back RANSOM-Poulsen ancestry … The tiny mother of POUL 6`5 inches tall half Northern Chinese … she visits Venice with her Eskimo-French Trading family beginning of the 18th century :   her GREENLAND name is `Little white squirrel soft Snow paws`   = I cannot yet locate her Christian world name …

1934 - BESSIE and ANNIE Misses Williams welcome into the family MARGARETH nee Ransom GROTE … in 3-4 days they had exchanged all FAMILY HISTORIES …

EARLY CONNECTIONS :     Margareth in 1857 had GONE TO A BALL with the MURPHY FAMILY - The Ransom family SAILED IN to DUBLIN from their Inner Arctic Island

VATICAN NEWS :   … And her great grandfather POUL GRONLANDER had a correspondence going with the HUMANIST POPE Benedict 14 in the mid-18th century …

VATICAN NEWS :   The O`BRIEN FAMILY who provide Bessie and Annie with a grandmother ANNE …  had records proving they  were the line of BRIAN of BORU …

OH THE EXCITEMENT FOR ALL OF THEM … 1932 a MARRIAGE had been made between Teresa Gordon their niece and the great-nephew of Margaret young Frederick John Ransom  … The babe Greetah Ransom born March 1933 is now the HEIR in TRAINING to the ESTATE … In 1936 her youngest uncle LEN Immanuel RANSOM is made co-sub heir -
The two young people are already proving the training worked out worldwide for them has them with understanding of their Family Estate and the pure PHILANTHROPY of it all worldwide …

VATICAN NEWS :    Yes, they all know `Young PACELLI` … he approves everybody … their sister Mary Helena wrote something brilliant at 18 years of age on CATHOLICISM … And Margaret Grote in a cloak of grey goes into the VATICAN … the HOMES are in all Catholic nations and felt to be THE SALVATION of the GLOBE … The investments in the `JOYOUS VENTURE` are always wholesome, full of safety standards too … A spirit of WELFARE is at the top of the HOMES curriculum and operated in the Ransom Estate …

A ROSY FUTURE WAS POSSIBLE - with THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT …        

1943-44 the WAR YEARS 2nd World War  :   the 5 daughters of TERESA MURPHY CARROLL Mrs John Williams  :  three are alive from June 1944  :   
Teresa Mrs Butler ( widow ) mother of  `Our Bill Mayor of Manchester` and 2nd Cousin `Auntie` Julie whom I know well from 1944 when she is still in the ATS - another brother to them I do not know …  BUT there is at `Stella Maris` , an orderly romantic rather `SOULS Movement` household of the never OLD Misses Bessie Martha and Annie Agnes Artist : they ever busy with Church Welfare, friends, and Annie quietly at a little Art work : they my great-aunts …  

I Greetah Ransom  like to listen to my two Misses Williams great-aunts - especially Annie Agnes with her periwinkle blue eyes, her black curling hair, a whisp of grey as of come from her walk in the SEAMISTS - magnificent thick hair to her waist - but always in a bun for daytime, a soft bun when she wore her special straw dark green hat with a bunch of brambles, flowers and blackberries - made by her sister, my grandmother, Mary Helena Carroll (she used this name on her silk labels 1890s-1900s =  

… The Saints names are chosen by their CLASSICIST mother = Teresa Carroll Williams  gave all her daughters meaningful names =   I hear all this 1943-1947 and Georges Colonel ANDRE Malraux too …  `our mother is always so careful with facts from history and about family history…  

MEMO :  The matter of HELENA and finding THAT CROSS was still under scholarly investigation - Annie felt   “ Saint Helena should have stayed HOME and cooked her son CONSTANTINE good dinners and given him GOOD ADVICE … not gone trekking all over the known world … ”   I sometimes wondered what our POOR SAINT CLARES Order Nuns thought ?  … Clacton-on-Sea Catholics are surprisingly knowledgeable about The HOLY LAND and the beginning of CHRISTIANITY …

…  But this is the REALMS of the INTELLECTUALS about me …and they, GROWN UPS ,  have early SUPPERS …  1945 they are BESSIE and ANNIE, ANDRE COLONEL MALRAUX, Mr ARMSTRONG Geographer, young Raymond SALT Pacifist our Music Teacher-Royal College of Music … Mr ANDREWS BA Oxon Science and Maths, all of them my teachers :  once or twice the Catholic Priest Father WILSON who had worked previously in Liverpool,  ( a brilliant musician, a quiet solemn man,  I was surprised to find him one Saturday morning sitting on the Kitchen table with JULIE BUTLER smoking A FAG and in animated conversation … )  Charles MAGOWAN Photographer, musician, and wife … others I do not know …
 
At sometime at the `Stella Maris` SUPPER TABLE :   Nearby to the Church are the Old friends to Andre Colonel MALRAUX from 1920s, Professor WINNCLEMAN & wife she a Shropshire girl/he of an Austrian Family  (a great grandfather was Lord of a Manor and Estate& he could marry the PEASANTS in the early 19th century = Mrs W.  once showed me an early photograph of the big Country PLACE )  her husband had 4 or 5 brothers - he the youngest was first in The Prussian Army 1890s, then studied Medicine specializing in Chemistry of the Brain  … They kept a low profile 1944, he accompanied by his younger wife and dog had been ROUNDED UP on the Orders of some IDIOT in Whitehall - Many of the people treated so `INTERNMENT CAMPS` could would have willingly given vital assistance in the British wartime …

… It is the old dog they had in the Epsom racecourse with them, that ANDRE and I take his last walks along the beaches … the other internees would collect up pieces of food, often inadequate, to see he was fed … Mrs WINNCLEMANN elected to go with her husband but as an Englishwoman she did not have to … From 1945 a chauffeured car comes to take the Professor to London and Chelmsford Hospitals where his skills are so helpful to the very sick or the dying …   

1940s and end of 2nd World War :  A COMMUNITY Acting the Gospels Out … at the SEAS EDGES … they were all sailing through life under the Flag HUMANITAS = humanist teachings reached we young from all of them …

1944-1946 … RICHARD would come and go from these HUMANIST households - I see him opening a door - saying something agreeable - giving me a cheerful grin … he might have a message from his Grandfather Potter about LIFEBOAT matters, something wanted for his Town newspaper … All the time an awareness of the SEA … these premises hearing the pounding WAVES when it is a rough day or night … As if the community along the SEAS EDGES had the force of the SEA as a Guardian to their lives :  I was given to such poetic thoughts, I felt, because of these daughters of TERESA MURPHY CARROLL WILLIAMS …      

1945/46 winter -  I never learned any FRENCH LANGUAGE from the 15 minute teaching our Class of ANDRE-GEORGE … Class just looked at him - the apparition of HE was SO BEAUTIFUL  :  people did remark that the string bean youth of 1937, never looking more than 17 really, had turned into A MATURE MAN .   Class, and the other School Pathfields, compared him to an ARCHANGEL - a statue of a SAINT … a heroic or tragic figure from a great PAINTING …  a figure of THE CRUSADES .    He was very beautiful to look upon … his grief making him more so … HE WAS VERY POLITE and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT … ANNIE and BESSIE and their community gave him THE WILL TO LIVE AGAIN … He was a tall figure holding in his arms a dead Josette and two dead brothers … we all felt this …    

A serious matter to the grown-ups Clacton and district was the FUTURE of the FRENCH WIDOWER   :     BUT all we SCHOOL GIRLS …  out to the BIG GIRLS at Dovercourt High School  … were CERTAIN that unless WE could find him a GOOD CATHOLIC WIFE he would be the PREY of a woman with high heels, red varnished fingernails, cocktails, nightclubs,  and `NO BETTER THAN SHE SHOULD BE` … It was obvious that George, or Andre  (which ever you were allowed to call him)  silently called by all of us ` A BOAT of DREAMS of the WESTERN WORLD` and similar things … knew that he was still `SUCH A BOY` …  and was in need of a GOOD WIFE … He should have an old rambling house with histories, THE SEAS EDGES to meander along to THINK GREAT THOUGHTS, a great kitchen by candlelight, a kitchen garden, AND TEN CHILDREN all as tall and beautiful as he … A study of course … and PEACE to come and go …

His voice was the surprise - he could range from a honey tenor to Choir Boy soprano … Our Choir Mistress said that all the spiritual young men in Paris in the 1920s learned from Alfred DELLER … There was a scare of a few weeks for the maidens of Clacton when it was hinted he might TAKE THE ROBE - but Mrs Taylor Choir Mistress said  `NO - with that VOICE he might TAKE THE VEIL `   but we should not worry and he had to step back into the world - not pop off to HEAVEN too early !   She got Choir, which includes me GR to whom he is GUARDIAN from October 1937, and he himself, rehearsing June-July  that incredible FULL 1610 MASS Claudio Monteverdi … and that music is a ROCKET TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE … After we sang it with him a Sunday morning in July it was felt he was GOING TO LIVE … I said to him in the middle of it   `I can fly ` … we finished up singing side by side with his arm around my waist … CONVENT SCHOOL CLASS now felt we could stop him being caught by one of the BIG GIRLS at the Dovercourt school …    

…  Mr Harold Walter POULTER, Deputy Curator Colchester and Essex Museums 1934-1962  will call him `YOUNG EMPEROR of GAUL` … and tell me  “ … It’s a young man still … its being bullied by two French Cats … it needs THE POT PUT ON TO BOIL, the cradle rocked … CLAD HIM IN HIS ARMOUR, FACE HIM TO THE RISING SUN … send him forth … and he will always RETURN to you at eventide … Have the great table laid, candlelight, and goodly company … many children … then to his chamber to rest in peace … … … … … … `     ( There is more of the great humanist POULTER speaking in CAMULODUNUM Colonia Victricensis =  Colchester Castle and Hollytrees Mansion Museum  1953 onwards - to his death 1962 … www.greta-ransom.com
`1937 summer `  
            

1940s -  Aunt Annie also will read me poems from INGOLDSBY LEGENDS & explain them - & I can occasionally bring in a friend from school if I ask Aunt Annie-Agnes first … “ Stella Maris ”  is 2 minutes walk to the Seafront & is a romantic looking house built c 1880s with 3 floors up to an attic where a Missionary woman  (not Catholic)  stores her things & her confirmed 17th century Italian sculpture that may be a Saint Anne  that she got in Italy in the last century … The sea can be glimpsed from here when it is winter and all the leaves are off the trees  … I used to have to stand on a spare table to glimpse the SEA towards the East from the Clacton cliffs … But this was my idea of  A ROOM OF YOUR OWN … it was a great treat to be allowed to come up to these `store` rooms of suit cases and furniture not in use  … age 10 years I once wrote a few lines of poetry up here in the dusty sunlight air, the sheen of 1920s-1930s dust …     

I will show the `Stella Maris` attic view & the stone Saint Anne to Georges Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX   (it was he labelled it 17th century and not early Roman Christian times as I had hoped … )   He returns to us at the SEAS EDGES where he learned of himself and from EAST ANGLIA what he wanted to do in life SUMMER 1937 … He now a  tragic Catholic WIDOWER of Josette … with their 2 baby boys left in France with relatives …

…  `Stella Maris` is named after the Canadian wife of the Australian artist Charles Conder - she died in a fireplace accident after her husband had died, he known for his PAINTINGS on WHITE SILK - Annie carved her tombstone & she & Bessie told her when she was dying they would never forget her … it is this household/heimat … (what is the Irish-Welsh for `home place of your heart` ?)   that will help restore him to LIFE  … with other groups of persons about this seashore town and the ancient lands about … READER may recall that the mother of ANDRE MALRAUX traces her English ancestry from her 9th century SEA TRADERS line = `HISTON` her first family name, Castle Rising, The Thorpes, Kings Lynn,  fishing & drawing up ships wintertime supported by farming etc.  … He has all the documents that SUMMER 1937 and we three, he, Josette, me, set off to LINCOLN and then to come back across country STEPPING IN THEIR STEPS … seeing SOMETIMES the very LANDSCAPES and SEASCAPES her historic line dwelt in … GRANNY GORDON, daughter of TERESA CLASSICIST said we should all go then … I had travelled with my grandmother Ransom and families abroad  the year before … so I did the booking of us into the Hotel in Lincoln … He will tell this, amused, in the future … `she asked to look at the rooms, then ordered tea and toast to be brought up to us at 8 am every morning of our stay … more like an 8 years old than a 4 and a half years old … `  



 The SEA MISTS SUPPER 1945 June …

… that Bessie and Annie Misses Williams  gave him,  Georges-ANDRE Colonel MALRAUX,   just the three at table `Stella Maris` ,  helped save his sanity he will say in the years ahead  :     This year from May 1945,   ( 2nd World War Europe ended April,)    has he return to his own ancestral lands of  `gospels acted out`  …  Stride again about Clacton-on-Sea,  walking on the pavements of happiness  SUMMER 1937 … he has now two Wartime dead brothers and JOSETTE dead November 1944 her legs run over by a train near Tulles …

I passed by `Stella Maris` about 6.30 pm that June early evening …  the SUPPER to begin at 6.30 pm … the WHITE SEA MISTS had crept in … upon the road it was up to my waist … thick around my feet so that I could hardly see them … THIS WILL COME AGAIN FOR HIROSHEMA WEEK in August 1945 when the town was hushed voices and the population in shock at such a terrible event  … IT WAS AS IF THE SEA WERE IN MOURNING TOO … I was not the only person to think like this … PURE WHITE MIST …

But that evening of this SUPPER I was in fear …  I knew that this SUPPER was to have HIM SEE THE SENSE OF STAYING ALIVE no matter what has happened … Annie and Bessie believed that the best healing was to be grateful for KNOWING THE DEAD … for their presence on earth … to be grateful THAT THEY HAVE LIVED AND GIVEN YOU HAPPINESS … do not let them ever be lost … recall them and take them with you in your life …`  

…  THE SEA MIST WAS VERY HEAVY AND IT HAD CREPT IN FURTHER THAN I HAD SEEN IT … so I entered the top of Granville Road and saw it was thicker as I approached `Stella Maris` … he would have arrived … the arrangement was they would take a glass of good sherry or a glass of good wine just at 6 pm and remember the happiness that his three dead had given him in his life … he had two tiny boys to raise … BUT THE HEAVY SEA MIST SO PURE WHITE unnerved me … I went to the seafront and said my prayers at the SEA …

BESSIE Martha, ANNIE Agnes won him back to LIFE … Singing the 1610 MASS that July sealed his hold on LIFE again … He had no father and mother - they had died when he was in his 20s … This town now gave him again a sense of having a unit - a family :     He will speak upon this in the future …

Records her youngest daughter :    Annie Agnes artist Miss Williams b 1880  of `Stella Maris` 10 Granville Road Clacton-on-Sea, where elder sister Bessie and she came to live 1923-1972 … Visiting 1921 -  seeing the PLANS for the impressive Catholic Church to be built on the St Clare Convent land close the Clacton-Holland-on-Sea seafront  - they decided to buy a retirement house -  
 
Speaking to her great-niece Greetha Ransom 1943-1944 :    ( she has LUCRETIUS de rerum natura with the BIBLE beside her bed )   is telling Greta Ransom family history  -   “ OUR MOTHER a Miss Teresa Carroll before she married our father John Williams Silversmith with excellent training, she travelled well …  beginning age 12 years & writes of a visit to Malaya but she goes no further perhaps ?   She is seeing all the famous ancient sites on the Continent & in Italy & Greece … I do not think she ever got further than Malaya ?  But I will ask our Bessie, your great-aunt Bessie  -   But our mother you should understand …  she did not go around the world like your Aunt Miss Margaret Ransom … whom your great Aunt Bessie & I went to see when she was taking a rest at Lerwick, Shetlands,  - she said how much she enjoyed the BBC wireless & what a marvellous invention it was …`

DEATH  OF  RICHARD  :   
 As I said, this DOCUMENT of Family history is in 3 pieces owing to death Christmas Day 2011 of Cousin RICHARD Potter … DICK the kind boy of the very GOOD HEART & soul …  

He, like me, in the Wartime years 1943-1945 would go in and out of `Stella Maris` 10 Granville Road a minute from Convent School of Saint Clare Order & the great impressive Church - where I begin in Choir 1944 - Mrs Taylor Choir Mistress had `understudied at Milan ` …  `Stella Maris` a three floors gracious house, Grandpa Gordon paintings on the curving staircase, is three minutes walk from the Holland-on-Sea Clacton Seafront north-east of the big Clacton Pier built by the family everyone knew :   They lived in a big flat over the BLUE Lagoon BALLROOM … Family  KINGSMAN …   

ANNIE Agnes continues :    “  But, our mother,  before she married our father,  she could travel … on big ships in comfort & safely with the family of her dead mother … or respectable friends that they had.   That is, you should understand,  the family Murphy of DUBLIN because they,  family MURPHY of DUBLIN were `well-to-doo`  …   & they had shipping interests … & connections all over the world ”   …

(  Memo :   Teresa Gordon, after 4 years in Holloway Prison 1921-1931, made the best marriage of 10,000 years - Unfortunately her noble chums crowded around her again patting their back pockets - but George & Mary (nee Williams) Gordon had troubles with this PACK since 1915 when they eyed the 8 pieces of Gordon lands in Scotland & caused trouble with Teresa,  especially 1920 Southern Ireland when Scots Earls following 12 years Teresa an exceptional “ horse woman ”  - they thought they could get horses for cheap from the Irish cousins of Mary Williams Gordon = O`Brien/Carroll/Murphy …
 
TROUBLE REIGNED on a monumental scale after the marriage Ransom-Gordon of 1932 … Elders all the families coped - young children had to be protected from British and Scandinavian noble coin-less dope-soaks … Teresa collected them at a London Riding School where her father put her from age 6 years … believing she was the one who would be a good `horsewoman` … MEMO:   Her father George Ernest Gordon and his 5 brothers went to Dr Bell Academy Greenwich Heath/Anna put the heir and brother to SIAM here     … so the GORDON families kept the birthday of the King of Siam and collected some memorabilia …  )

“  … When I was 10 years, because I had lost my mother when I was only 2 years old, then my father,  I was invited to stay with the family O`Brien … they had farms & were also very well-too-doo …  & they are the family of our grandmother ANNE, the first Mrs John Williams …After her husband died she became  `A Little White Nun` … but when our mother, her daughter-in-law died, she took Release and came to Manchester to look after all of us … we stayed in the big old Merchant house … your Aunt Bessie can tell you more about the life of the family when our parents were alive :   but she, our grandmother, the mother of our father that is, a former Miss Anne O`Brien, died after two years … I was about 5 years old … Our nephew  O`Brien comes to London and we cab all visit … perhaps when this War ends we can visit again …

1943-1947 - ANNIE Agnes Artist - Miss Williams b 1880 - Manchester
 
“ … The mother of our mother who is Miss Teresa Carroll before she marries our father John Williams … her mother a former Miss Teresa Murphy, daughter of a well-to-doo Blacksmith MURPHY our grandmother that is,  died at her birth = so we never knew our grandmother on that side - Her husband,  the father of this first baby, to be our mother, was so grief stricken he did not marry again until she, our mother, is 10 years old.   Her father MURPHY , that is our grandmother Murphy whom we never know,  he made another happy marriage   ( when his grand-daughter Teresa Carroll is 10 years of age … )  …  & that gives us your great-cousin Brian Murphy … & our niece Teresa Mary Butler writes to him …”  

THE ABOVE is spoken to me Greta Ransom age 10/11 years … I liked to know all the family branches - I must have asked Annie a lot of questions   :   She was wonderful at reading from THE INGOLDSBY LEGENDS … so spirited could her readings become that BESSIE would caution her  ` NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILD ANNIE …`   ` Saint Gregory sat in Saint Peter`s Chair … `  She taught me to always have a CROSS to keep the DEVIL out … she showed me how she laid the big wooden kitchen spoons on the table each morning in the form of a Cross … and that you could make a Cross from anything … and keep the DEVIL out … `their were two wee devils playing with chains … picked up … and smashed in their brains … `     I questioned whether it was ethical to kill tiny devils ?     She was quite firm saying that ALL devils must be destroyed …    

… THUS 1945 Georges- Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX & I are making crosses for his brothers killed in the War, and for Josette, and putting them into the waves of the outgoing and incoming tides … He might sing softly a few bars of the Church music - Josquin or Monteverdi … I nearly always had LA MER in my head on the beaches - Claude DEBUSSY/he himself conducted first performance at Eastbourne -  if we had come from Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN they live close the Catholic Church then he might have played it on his gramophone for me =  when the SEA was ROUGH he would have FLYING DUTCHMAN and Tristan and Isolde … A SMALL agreeable COMMUNITY are we AT THE SEAS EDGES …

When ANDRE and JOSETTE came 1937 SUMMER,   staying the 6 weeks,  he telephoned Mary Gordon from Paris in November,  my grandmother, and told her  HE HAD FOUND with us all in the town the countryside THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT… and it had helped him understand what he wanted to do with his life.    I was with them all the time … The Ransom family, with Alfred Charles retired Rear Admiral RANSOM too,  had to take small planes, the fast launch, and go on a RESCUE Spain of a young cousin his parents had worked for years in Ethiopia for The London Mission Society … but a terrible TRAGEDY -

…  I did not know where my young father had gone or my Ransom grandparents … The morning of the arrival in the afternoon of ANDRE and JOSETTE my father had packed his kit bag, dressed in khaki shorts, had said   ` WORK - remember the words `Daddy loves you … ` …  Uncle Harry was told to keep quiet … they did not return until October and Andre and Josette had just left …

… That summer 1937 ANDRE had told young Harry that he and friends were NOT TO GO to SPAIN … it was lost  :    But that he Andre and his mother MARY GORDON had agreed to agree that `PERHAPS A STATEMENT HAD TO BE MADE`  … Granny Gordon had been frightened that silly young men with Harry would take off to SPAIN … She does not believe in fighting … although sometimes a decision has to be taken  :     This SUMMER 1937 of TRANQUILITY  for ANDRE and Josette and me,  has been read to me many times from his little breast pocket notebooks - 1950s I was adding my own accurate memories …

It can be read on www.greta-ransom.com `1937 SUMMER`   - With a friend I have begun extracting this summer from the 3,000 pages … she has translated some into French - we hope to continue with this project  :   Others about the globe may be doing this - the `printing out` records each month show thousands of pages downloaded  … In case it is translating into RUSSIAN or Welsh or Gaelic we will continue with a French version =    But keep in mind that Summer MALRAUX spoke mostly English - he learned his English when he was 12 years from reading CONRAD in English …   (Dent Publish CONRAD in English 1912 - I found one book in our Nursery collection … )

FAMILY GENEALOGY  :  BESSIE and ANNIE … and MARY HELENA would speak upon their ancestry when reading letters  =  It had been my delight (Greta Ransom) to learn the RANSOM ancestry from my grandfather & father … that was before WAR CAME 1939

…  1941 onwards my mother would not have our ROOTS for any of our families spoken of -    She insisted she had married a common working man - her mother made her  … and that her mother and father were SERFS … She is, of course, covering up her PRISON years - and 26th December 1941 she got herself back in - Worcestershire and Wiltshire would NOT listen to the pleading of her very NOBLE CHUMS … Well they are after our DOUGH and KUDOS all of our family LINES :  

This cover-up should not have been allowed - then Miss Winifred Gordon ex-ATS 1944 Summer could not have styled herself `Portia` and called herself Head of the Families now that her mother Mary Helena their sister was dead 3rd June 1944 … Auntie Win was not keen on either me or RICHARD dropping in on `Stella Maris` … but Bessie and Annie loved us to call … They always busy had time to pass on information, advise how to live a holy life and ACT THE GOSPELS OUT … and pay attention at school  :   

… It was Georges-Andre Colonel Malraux who would hear some of this history Summer 1945 - but Bessie and Annie would not have enlarged upon it -  He had a dead mother of his two tiny sons and two dead brothers in his ARMS that Summer … He will say in the years ahead that it was Miss Bessie and Annie Artist, who become his Aunts, who gave him the WILL TO LIVE AGAIN … And they could do this because he found them HIS INTELLECTUAL EQUALS … my AUNTS Bessie and Annie the Misses Williams ` … ( He is explaining 1970 to several persons … )    

1950s - He and Bessie would go to TEA at The Oblate Saint Charles - retired Priests & Bishops, round the corner from his London Workshop and home St Edmund House, 50 Lancaster Gate Square … I recall my astonishment at seeing a November morning 1957 my great-Aunt Bessie Martha Miss Williams taking the CHAIR at a meeting with old IRISH Bishops in the strange Black Forest furniture Room at No 50 - ANDRE in his Glenn Miller raincoat stood in his usual ARCHANGEL pose … I was bidden enter for a few minutes - then packed off to the great London Museums   :   Mr Poulter Deputy Curator Colchester & Essex Museums is hopeful I will find time to `research` for him Quaker ships that appear on imitation Dutch blue-white ware …

      
 Lots of letters were written to Bessie and Annie and sent to `Stella Maris`  Clacton-on-Sea - they would answer, writing from their sitting room desk, having made notes about things to say while they spoke on this or that from the letters received  … Many people called on them pre-War and during the Wartime a few to do with Church and community matters …  I used to wonder who was the grandmother of `little Danny`  … she seems to be on the Carroll side … ?   And there is `Maisie Carroll` and her sister …     


 Annie announced XMAS 1943/1944   … `  We are arranging a midnight supper … as we did in the old days … when we lived in Ireland on our Farms … because we are winning this War … ` ...

I have photocopied a page of a Wartime winter newspaper and put the MENU on it - sent to family an XMAS in the 1990s - the originals of my montage I keep - it’s a useful memory aid …so will add it to this/first on my FACEBOOK site or my TWITTER site which takes photos etc to open by the viewer  … although now I have the JIMDO site which takes photos and pictorial too … so I hope to add things to this piece of Work :   

Auntie ESTHER, mother of RICHARD, Jennifer, Kathryn,  helped me to remember this Wartime supper table , even though she was not present that Midnight after Church but heard about it  :    SUPPER BEGAN after MIDNIGHT MASS - It was a quarter to 1 AM when we began - quite a collection of people … they did not all stay as late as their niece Teresa Gordon R with me Greetah, John Gordon R. and little Colin Frederick RANSOM  =  A clock was striking 4 am as we walked home down Vista Road home to `Pearly`, the lovely miniature EDWARDIAN house … known in our family HISTORIES, Andre too, as THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE REC  -  

…  But it was a jolly crowd of about 16 came in in the BLACKOUT of the first hour of that 1943 Christmas Day  - Annie had put holy statues amongst the food to create a crib …  a Priest, a choir members, neighbours, we three Ransom children, Teresa … we were at one time about 16 persons …  Granny Gordon had gone up to Manchester for XMAS … and perhaps Winnie and Julie got Release from ATS  … ?   Guests brought a dish of something … but it was surprisingly satisfying considering there was Wartime RATIONING … and there was LIQUOR … I recall bottles of Fruit Brandies … Of course, the Catholic Church, may still be getting its good Sherry via Portugal - Perhaps Portugal was running  SMUGGLING for Catholics … we all knew our shores had seen plenty of SMUGGLERS 17th-19th centuries … `Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy, Brandy for the Parson … Watch the wall my darling` while the Gentlemen go by …`    

That happy MIDNIGHT SUPPER CHRISTMAS EVE 1943  with such nice people is vivid in my memory … the WAR we think is going to be won …
I aware that I shall NEVER live this time again … I make a habit of scribbling poetic lines - making some craftwork … and gathering and binding happiness into TIME … I take it down to the SEAFRONT and  relive it and write it on the waves …  I entwine it into music of every kind …   I get taught these things by those who know of the SEAS … 1944 March I shall be 11 years old …

OK to above …




1943-44 the WAR YEARS 2nd World War  :   the 5 daughters of TERESA MURPHY CARROLL Mrs John Williams  :  three are alive from June 1944  :   
Teresa Mrs Butler ( widow ) mother of  `Our Bill Mayor of Manchester` and 2nd Cousin `Auntie` Julie whom I know well from 1944 when she is still in the ATS - another brother to them I do not know …  BUT there is at `Stella Maris` , an orderly romantic rather `SOULS Movement` household of the never OLD Misses Bessie Martha and Annie Agnes Artist : they ever busy with Church Welfare, friends, and Annie quietly at a little Art work : they my great-aunts …  

I Greetah Ransom  like to listen to my two Misses Williams great-aunts - especially Annie Agnes with her periwinkle blue eyes, her black curling hair, a whisp of grey as of come from her walk in the SEAMISTS - magnificent thick hair to her waist - but always in a bun for daytime, a soft bun when she wore her special straw dark green hat with a bunch of brambles, flowers and blackberries - made by her sister, my grandmother, Mary Helena Carroll (she used this name on her silk labels 1890s-1900s =  

… The Saints names are chosen by their CLASSICIST mother = Teresa Carroll Williams  gave all her daughters meaningful names =   I hear all this 1943-1947 and Georges Colonel ANDRE Malraux too …  `our mother is always so careful with facts from history and about family history…  

MEMO :  The matter of HELENA and finding THAT CROSS was still under scholarly investigation - Annie felt   “ Saint Helena should have stayed HOME and cooked her son CONSTANTINE good dinners and given him GOOD ADVICE … not gone trekking all over the known world … ”   I sometimes wondered what our POOR SAINT CLARES Order Nuns thought ?  … Clacton-on-Sea Catholics are surprisingly knowledgeable about The HOLY LAND and the beginning of CHRISTIANITY …

…  But this is the REALMS of the INTELLECTUALS about me …and they, GROWN UPS ,  have early SUPPERS …  1945 they are BESSIE and ANNIE, ANDRE COLONEL MALRAUX, Mr ARMSTRONG Geographer, young Raymond SALT Pacifist our Music Teacher-Royal College of Music … Mr ANDREWS BA Oxon Science and Maths, all of them my teachers :  once or twice the Catholic Priest Father WILSON who had worked previously in Liverpool,  ( a brilliant musician, a quiet solemn man,  I was surprised to find him one Saturday morning sitting on the Kitchen table with JULIE BUTLER smoking A FAG and in animated conversation … )  Charles MAGOWAN Photographer, musician, and wife … others I do not know …
 
At sometime at the `Stella Maris` SUPPER TABLE :   Nearby to the Church are the Old friends to Andre Colonel MALRAUX from 1920s, Professor WINNCLEMAN & wife she a Shropshire girl/he of an Austrian Family  (a great grandfather was Lord of a Manor and Estate& he could marry the PEASANTS in the early 19th century = Mrs W.  once showed me an early photograph of the big Country PLACE )  her husband had 4 or 5 brothers - he the youngest was first in The Prussian Army 1890s, then studied Medicine specializing in Chemistry of the Brain  … They kept a low profile 1944, he accompanied by his younger wife and dog had been ROUNDED UP on the Orders of some IDIOT in Whitehall - Many of the people treated so `INTERNMENT CAMPS` could would have willingly given vital assistance in the British wartime …

… It is the old dog they had in the Epsom racecourse with them, that ANDRE and I take his last walks along the beaches … the other internees would collect up pieces of food, often inadequate, to see he was fed … Mrs WINNCLEMANN elected to go with her husband but as an Englishwoman she did not have to … From 1945 a chauffeured car comes to take the Professor to London and Chelmsford Hospitals where his skills are so helpful to the very sick or the dying …   

1940s and end of 2nd World War :  A COMMUNITY Acting the Gospels Out … at the SEAS EDGES … they were all sailing through life under the Flag HUMANITAS = humanist teachings reached we young from all of them …

1944-1946 … RICHARD would come and go from these HUMANIST households - I see him opening a door - saying something agreeable - giving me a cheerful grin … he might have a message from his Grandfather Potter about LIFEBOAT matters, something wanted for his Town newspaper … All the time an awareness of the SEA … these premises hearing the pounding WAVES when it is a rough day or night … As if the community along the SEAS EDGES had the force of the SEA as a Guardian to their lives :  I was given to such poetic thoughts, I felt, because of these daughters of TERESA MURPHY CARROLL WILLIAMS …      

1945/46 winter -  I never learned any FRENCH LANGUAGE from the 15 minute teaching our Class of ANDRE-GEORGE … Class just looked at him - the apparition of HE was SO BEAUTIFUL  :  people did remark that the string bean youth of 1937, never looking more than 17 really, had turned into A MATURE MAN .   Class, and the other School Pathfields, compared him to an ARCHANGEL - a statue of a SAINT … a heroic or tragic figure from a great PAINTING …  a figure of THE CRUSADES .    He was very beautiful to look upon … his grief making him more so … HE WAS VERY POLITE and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT … ANNIE and BESSIE and their community gave him THE WILL TO LIVE AGAIN … He was a tall figure holding in his arms a dead Josette and two dead brothers … we all felt this …    

A serious matter to the grown-ups Clacton and district was the FUTURE of the FRENCH WIDOWER   :     BUT all we SCHOOL GIRLS …  out to the BIG GIRLS at Dovercourt High School  … were CERTAIN that unless WE could find him a GOOD CATHOLIC WIFE he would be the PREY of a woman with high heels, red varnished fingernails, cocktails, nightclubs,  and `NO BETTER THAN SHE SHOULD BE` … It was obvious that George, or Andre  (which ever you were allowed to call him)  silently called by all of us ` A BOAT of DREAMS of the WESTERN WORLD` and similar things … knew that he was still `SUCH A BOY` …  and was in need of a GOOD WIFE … He should have an old rambling house with histories, THE SEAS EDGES to meander along to THINK GREAT THOUGHTS, a great kitchen by candlelight, a kitchen garden, AND TEN CHILDREN all as tall and beautiful as he … A study of course … and PEACE to come and go …

His voice was the surprise - he could range from a honey tenor to Choir Boy soprano … Our Choir Mistress said that all the spiritual young men in Paris in the 1920s learned from Alfred DELLER … There was a scare of a few weeks for the maidens of Clacton when it was hinted he might TAKE THE ROBE - but Mrs Taylor Choir Mistress said  `NO - with that VOICE he might TAKE THE VEIL `   but we should not worry and he had to step back into the world - not pop off to HEAVEN too early !   She got Choir, which includes me GR to whom he is GUARDIAN from October 1937, and he himself, rehearsing June-July  that incredible FULL 1610 MASS Claudio Monteverdi … and that music is a ROCKET TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE … After we sang it with him a Sunday morning in July it was felt he was GOING TO LIVE … I said to him in the middle of it   `I can fly ` … we finished up singing side by side with his arm around my waist … CONVENT SCHOOL CLASS now felt we could stop him being caught by one of the BIG GIRLS at the Dovercourt school …    

…  Mr Harold Walter POULTER, Deputy Curator Colchester and Essex Museums 1934-1962  will call him `YOUNG EMPEROR of GAUL` … and tell me  “ … It’s a young man still … its being bullied by two French Cats … it needs THE POT PUT ON TO BOIL, the cradle rocked … CLAD HIM IN HIS ARMOUR, FACE HIM TO THE RISING SUN … send him forth … and he will always RETURN to you at eventide … Have the great table laid, candlelight, and goodly company … many children … then to his chamber to rest in peace … … … … … … `     ( There is more of the great humanist POULTER speaking in CAMULODUNUM Colonia Victricensis =  Colchester Castle and Hollytrees Mansion Museum  1953 onwards - to his death 1962 … www.greta-ransom.com
`1937 summer `  
            

1940s -  Aunt Annie also will read me poems from INGOLDSBY LEGENDS & explain them - & I can occasionally bring in a friend from school if I ask Aunt Annie-Agnes first … “ Stella Maris ”  is 2 minutes walk to the Seafront & is a romantic looking house built c 1880s with 3 floors up to an attic where a Missionary woman  (not Catholic)  stores her things & her confirmed 17th century Italian sculpture that may be a Saint Anne  that she got in Italy in the last century … The sea can be glimpsed from here when it is winter and all the leaves are off the trees  … I used to have to stand on a spare table to glimpse the SEA towards the East from the Clacton cliffs … But this was my idea of  A ROOM OF YOUR OWN … it was a great treat to be allowed to come up to these `store` rooms of suit cases and furniture not in use  … age 10 years I once wrote a few lines of poetry up here in the dusty sunlight air, the sheen of 1920s-1930s dust …     

I will show the `Stella Maris` attic view & the stone Saint Anne to Georges Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX   (it was he labelled it 17th century and not early Roman Christian times as I had hoped … )   He returns to us at the SEAS EDGES where he learned of himself and from EAST ANGLIA what he wanted to do in life SUMMER 1937 … He now a  tragic Catholic WIDOWER of Josette … with their 2 baby boys left in France with relatives …

…  `Stella Maris` is named after the Canadian wife of the Australian artist Charles Conder - she died in a fireplace accident after her husband had died, he known for his PAINTINGS on WHITE SILK - Annie carved her tombstone & she & Bessie told her when she was dying they would never forget her … it is this household/heimat … (what is the Irish-Welsh for `home place of your heart` ?)   that will help restore him to LIFE  … with other groups of persons about this seashore town and the ancient lands about … READER may recall that the mother of ANDRE MALRAUX traces her English ancestry from her 9th century SEA TRADERS line = `HISTON` her first family name, Castle Rising, The Thorpes, Kings Lynn,  fishing & drawing up ships wintertime supported by farming etc.  … He has all the documents that SUMMER 1937 and we three, he, Josette, me, set off to LINCOLN and then to come back across country STEPPING IN THEIR STEPS … seeing SOMETIMES the very LANDSCAPES and SEASCAPES her historic line dwelt in … GRANNY GORDON, daughter of TERESA CLASSICIST said we should all go then … I had travelled with my grandmother Ransom and families abroad  the year before … so I did the booking of us into the Hotel in Lincoln … He will tell this, amused, in the future … `she asked to look at the rooms, then ordered tea and toast to be brought up to us at 8 am every morning of our stay … more like an 8 years old than a 4 and a half years old … `  



 The SEA MISTS SUPPER 1945 June …

… that Bessie and Annie Misses Williams  gave him,  Georges-ANDRE Colonel MALRAUX,   just the three at table `Stella Maris` ,  helped save his sanity he will say in the years ahead  :     This year from May 1945,   ( 2nd World War Europe ended April,)    has he return to his own ancestral lands of  `gospels acted out`  …  Stride again about Clacton-on-Sea,  walking on the pavements of happiness  SUMMER 1937 … he has now two Wartime dead brothers and JOSETTE dead November 1944 her legs run over by a train near Tulles …

I passed by `Stella Maris` about 6.30 pm that June early evening …  the SUPPER to begin at 6.30 pm … the WHITE SEA MISTS had crept in … upon the road it was up to my waist … thick around my feet so that I could hardly see them … THIS WILL COME AGAIN FOR HIROSHEMA WEEK in August 1945 when the town was hushed voices and the population in shock at such a terrible event  … IT WAS AS IF THE SEA WERE IN MOURNING TOO … I was not the only person to think like this … PURE WHITE MIST …

But that evening of this SUPPER I was in fear …  I knew that this SUPPER was to have HIM SEE THE SENSE OF STAYING ALIVE no matter what has happened … Annie and Bessie believed that the best healing was to be grateful for KNOWING THE DEAD … for their presence on earth … to be grateful THAT THEY HAVE LIVED AND GIVEN YOU HAPPINESS … do not let them ever be lost … recall them and take them with you in your life …`  

…  THE SEA MIST WAS VERY HEAVY AND IT HAD CREPT IN FURTHER THAN I HAD SEEN IT … so I entered the top of Granville Road and saw it was thicker as I approached `Stella Maris` … he would have arrived … the arrangement was they would take a glass of good sherry or a glass of good wine just at 6 pm and remember the happiness that his three dead had given him in his life … he had two tiny boys to raise … BUT THE HEAVY SEA MIST SO PURE WHITE unnerved me … I went to the seafront and said my prayers at the SEA …

BESSIE Martha, ANNIE Agnes won him back to LIFE … Singing the 1610 MASS that July sealed his hold on LIFE again … He had no father and mother - they had died when he was in his 20s … This town now gave him again a sense of having a unit - a family :     He will speak upon this in the future …

Both Families GORDON & RANSOM and families they are related to had collected by 1916 a half British half Chinese PIMP …  

JIM BLOODSUCKER & HIS NOBLES GANG  :   
 JIMMIE JONG,  he liked children to call him PONG when he acted The Clown … but his reputation did not deceive Clacton Police … As a guest of Noble names, even though they of ill repute, nothing could be done in those days 1920s-1930s and onwards - IMPERIAL BRITAIN and its FIGURES FROM A MORGUE ruled the globe and the Seas  :   

… Jimmie Jong James  -  whom Uncle HARRY GORDON warned us about during the 1930s1940s-50s-60s-early 1970s … Harry said  “ I have had the little NANKIN Man around me since I am 12 years old - with a friend we built a car from scrap - Jim, little vermin,  insisted we sell it to him for TEN SHILLINGS … we could not get rid of him … He had a motorbike in those days - would demand you loaned him a pound … One afternoon  at the RACES he was breathless -
“ … Loan me your clean shirt Harry - I have to meet some friends of mine … ”   We thought he might be going to get a job at last …

…  Then we saw him … with the Old Girls in the Royal Box …they had come on driving along the Course in their TRUNDLE CARTS …  Jimmie,  he was acting PUCK & PAGE to them … They were smiling and cooing with him … Little bit of VERMIN - caused mother and father a lot of worry from the Great Wartime - Got OLD GIRL  (his sister Teresa 6 years older than he, my mother 1933 )   into trouble … 1926/27 - got her serving 4 years in Prison … she was lucky to get out and not serve the 6 years  :   Some of them visited her - took cheap Brandy and DOPE in … so she spent most of her time in SOLITARY =  Salvation Army used to go in with books for them in the Prison …

… The Noble Pack did not want her when she came out -  then she married ELDORADO - your Father - & they took her up again expecting a share .    Friends and I hunted for you all one evening - you were 16 months old … found you asleep under the awning of the Donkey Shed at Holland beach … You gave us several scares `Young Un` …    ”   Harry believes by 1946 that our lives will improve now the War is ended … and ANDRE has turned up …  


JIMMIE Mr Pong Jong :   I recall him following us 1935 - 1936 when we visited for 8 months the Estate, the Grote Homes, and all the lovely pieces of our Philanthropy-HUMANISM - Arctic to Sub-arctic … all the nations in between from Greenland, Canada, all around South America, and back to New York =  After a scare we were provided with to good kindly Truncheon men who wore disguises.   We Act the Gospels Out …

I have put of the madness to us, me, 1930s onwards in Document = 3 Parts/1937 SUMMER/  www.greta-ransom.com released 2011 January …

OWL CLOCK BOMB Mar. 1938

5th birthday Greta Ransom, great-grandchild of TERESA Murphy CARROLL CLASSIST of IRELAND    ( becomes Mrs John Williams, he a Superior Silversmith/inventor )


 
For my 5th Birthday Mr Pong delivered after 9 pm an OWL CLOCK bomb - badly made … he woke me from sleep in my little white and blue room … Someone had cancelled my baby-sitters  ( they are two big girls from families who were part of the Rutland Boughton POORMANS OPERA Glastonbury ).    He said it would blow up in 5 minutes - I waited for him to go then carefully carried it down to the bottom of the long garden the Old Road house - it did not go off at 9.30pm so I went to sleep.   IT WENT OFF AT MIDNIGHT … Woke the neighbourhood, severing some water pipes and breaking windows in other little houses alongside the Doctor Barnardo`s Sports Ground - When I was listened to next middle of the day and could at last tell the TRUE TALE I was shown a hole that I have recalled was the size of the CRATER OF SANTORIN … Well, we could have a boat on it … but it was to be filled in :

… My father and other Army Men now rushed with GUNS to the LINDSAYBUGGARHS GRAND one of their bolt holes … The Earl of Lindsay Crawford said everyone was OFFSHORE … He tells such lies - I call him `Mr Salt & Pepper` … I am told by GORDON and RANSOM families I am NOT to Curtsey to him.  Granny Mary Helena Gordon addresses him as `Mr Lindsay` .   She has a Police Document to stop any of them, JIM of course, entering her garden gate …

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is known these Noble Britains are soaked in DOPE …  `drink with a bottle in each paw`  says Uncle HARRY and some of his nice young friends =  Captain Patrick MacDrew a Catholic … Philip Silverlee a musician, writer, Insurance, Argentine and London - he plays me CATHEDRAL UNDER THE SEA/Claude Debussy on the piano belonging to Auntie Winifred … given by her parents for her 21st birthday 1931 …     

JIMMIE JONG   was a regular dope-soak, untrustworthy, and looked like a tiny evil pixie - I used to liken his head and face to the top of a shiny gilt bullet - but I think he had pale blue eyes from the British ancestry … He would creep in the little ancient Old Road house by the back way when my father was away about the Estate matters overseas and when Teresa Gordon my mother was not with her Racing gangs and noble chums …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My Great-Uncle EDGAR GORDON …. … …
He is the youngest of the brothers of Grandpa Gordon … finding that the family Money had run out when he was finished school at 19, trained as a `Gentleman`s Gentleman` at  A SCHOOL for such CAREERS … He travelled the Continent, America, with his Master, a member of The Sackville Family - A Memoir of him says   “ … Edgar would be invited to come and join us in the sitting room after Supper … he was an aesthete … always knew the latest books, plays, music … what was going on …”    

1934 …  Uncle Edgar Gordon tells his youngest niece age 20 years, Esther Mary Gordon  ` … YOU DO NOT LET Mr JIM in your door … YOU SAY YOU ARE BUSY … HE MUST TALK WITH YOUR PARENTS … Mr JIM has no regular employment … he WORKS BY MOONLIGHT FOR CERTAIN SCOTS LORDS … My Master will NOT let him in … MR JIM IS A PIMP … `  

Esther and her girl friends obeyed this Order from an Uncle she and they knew to have understanding of such matters … The 1930s London was full of such creatures … PIMPS … But Esther youngest child of Mary and George Gordon may not have known the powerful connexions of JIM JONG … and his friend ANGELA is to rise from Duchess to a CROWN … when her brother-in-law the popular and sensible `Ned` was kicked out of Gross Britain Christmas 1936-1937  :    1937 Teresa Gordon Mrs R. attended all the celebrations for ANGELA and her Crown … but she was advised not to appear in the ABBEY for the Ceremony … at least not unless she wore disguise …  Uncle Harry Gordon says ALL of them in the 1920s and 1930s were given to disguise … they got it done by the Film Studios …  

Teresa E. Gordon b 1906   (  Mrs F. J. Ransom 1932 - 1943 onwards deservedly called by Clacton Schools,  pupils & their families and some Teachers she insulted,  “ MAD MOTHER KALI  -  CLYTEMNESTRA … & Old Mother Riley-Ransom ”       :  

…  My mother I rarely saw in the 1930s - she went to every Racing Season - she came back when she was broke - She never stayed a Christmas Day - about 10 am she was off to London - her custom was to have drinks with some of the Mosley family and others of Noble Britain - She said we were too LOW for her - she had been forced into the marriage by her Mother :   She did not like to be called Mrs Ransom … but she claimed she inherited ALL THIS GREAT Grote RANSOM `Joyous Venture` PHILANTHROPY ESTATE by a marriage to my father  :    Her old coin-less noble chums put her up to all this insane violent lunatic behaviour …
Her arrogance (this ex-Jail bird) verged on madness - violence … It was not until 1938 that my young Father found out she took a dangerous narcotic - pushing a pellet up her snout as coin less Noble Britain and Scotland did :  It hits the brain in 2 seconds - it is named Divinorum Salvia Scotland - Nobles grow it in sheltered Glens … torch blown it is inserted up the snout or a Surgeon can put it under a flap of skin on the forehead - It gives them maniacal greed.
   

IRISH HUMOUR  :    1939 the du CANN Mob tricked the cousins CARROLL Farmers IRELAND into agreeing to grow 2 fields of this illegal dope  :  

“  … the Mayor and Corporation told Cousins Carroll to go ahead and grow it …  ”   

A LETTER from IRELAND 1941 :       (there is a Maisie Carroll and sister write at Christmas)    sent to Great Aunt Bessie Martha Miss Williams tells how the MAYOR say`th GROW IT … When the crop is ripe we will give them a fine trestle TABLE meal - the Silver Band will play  :  SO WELCOMING SMILES greeted the Du CANN mob … the liquor the food began - 4 TRACTORS APPEARED EACH CORNER of the first FIELD and BEGAN to plough and CHURN UP THE VALUABLE CROP …

… The Ring of Noble BRITISH Dope Growers ran out into the Field waving frantically and YELLING … The SILVER BAND PLAYED APPROPRIATE MUSIC … A shaking of fists from the cunning du CANN - they swore they would take revenge - they climbed into their cars and roared off …  CARROLL Family said   “ …  … not growing a dangerous illegal narcotic for the BASTARD of a distant Cousin … …  ”  

 ( NB :  this is the bastard Edward du Cann born May 1924 who has insisted from age 15 years that his mother Teresa Gordon R kill me … so he can be RICH … He and JIM PIMP/now to be called Sir/Cur JAMES - Steward of WHITES Club they have turned into a VICE BAR nearly succeeded 3 times autumn into winter 1957 - and MALRAUX budding Minister of France too … MI5 & MI6 worked all night a Friday December 1957 to stop us being pushed off a sea cliff …  1969 Harwell Village Atomic big luncheon for all local families to meet the new Director, we are told by MI5   “ … … … …  It was not them, Peter - GREEN EYED WOMEN BEGAN IT … … but it was touch and go … everyone had left London for the weekend … It was my opposite number in `6` … we felt it made sense to have a talk after work at the end of each fortnight … It was near midnight when we knew we could do no more … WE WOULD KNOW ON MONDAY MORNING … if ANDRE old HERO and young Greetah were alive … ”   

I have thanked their Shades/Souls/Spirits in my earlier Work 2011 AD `SUMMER 1937` onwards …  
 
 … “  WHACK FOL DI DIDDLE … but Mother England loves us still … … has taught us how to wash our hands … etc etc … ”    

Copy the IRELAND LETTER from Carroll Family was sent to your Irish American cousin living IN VATICAN …

…  he is a MAN of LETTERS DOMINICAN Order-black Robe / I prefer CISTERSCIAN Order-white Robe … I can only recall his name as `Father Stephen Foster` … he sends me blue and green sweets … memories of THE SEAS EDGES …  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Teresa Gordon R. coming out of Holloway Prison 1931 had in 1932 married THE ELDORADO of THE SEAS EDGES  -

Her former Noble companions entertained her  after the marriage  = and mocked us, Ransom & Weddell & Norway Count POULSEN Families (cousins)  calling us ESKIMOS and APES … slyly knocking us - playing horrible tricks - they made catapult pellets from famous letters they robbed us of  :  
( VIKINGS BURN BOOKS & writing … especially Documents, Records … )

   MR JIM & Lindsey 14 would persecute us all GORDON & IRISH families,   RANSOM - he was said to WORK for the CROWNS …

He and LINDSEY (to become 1943 Premier Earl 14)  followed us if they could to the sad sonless Lady Ettie Desborough at Taplow Court Buckinghamshire … to the all white house CLOUDS, & other nice places where we are invited and will find cousins of many digits out :   for instance :  Arctic Mariner Sir Martin Frobisher married 1 of the 10 daughters of Lord Wentworth :  

…  Millie Frobisher Mrs John Ransom m 1883 - killed 1897  (mother of Grandpa Ransom)  is related via her mother to The SOULS (aesthete movement) - as well as main line FROBISHER - Grandpa Frederick Charles Frobisher Ransom seemed to have hundreds of cousins.   He can sail Tall Ships and was in the Battle of Jutland 1st World War.  His wife Jean Weddell is a ballerina (and has offended Noble Britain by producing 4 very clever healthy children - Frederick/Ivy Jean/John Ray/Len I.R. 1911 to 1921 … The Earl of Lindsay Crawford assured the top of the PYRAMID that ballerinas did not have children … so the marriage was allowed in 1909 =  

The British Empire was not so wealthy - many top Nobles lacked HUMANISM - the upper class were keen to keep their CLASS -  They were not to be found amongst the Scientists, philosophers, artists or musicians of the early 20th century … Their state of mind and lack of good breeding had them believe GOD INTENDED THEY BE RICH … Auntie/Cousin Julie Butler would say    “  I WONDER WHICH GOD THAT IS  -      WIN !!!  ”  …   

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


OUR FAMILY MEMBERS might like to list out their Nations at the end of the 20th century   :    Ireland/Scotland/Anglo-Saxon - Norway & a Turkish bride our Gordon 18th century … and GREECE … perhaps this can be added to  :    


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Greetah Ransom am proved 14 Races and 27 Nations from RANSOM BRIDES - the Records reach back accurately to `Aurora` 6th-7th century Spain - Castile - she only daughter of the Town Councillor, Farmer, Trader, Alfaz … ???     THEY ARE PURE BERBER  …

…  the 5th child of this RANSOM SEATRADERS 6th century Family kept the Family Records but we do not know if the writer is a she or he -   We read that as a cripple he/she is happy to observe The Family  :    `our mother is 6 feet tall, with brown hair to her waist, and  “ HER EYES ARE THE COLOUR OF THE SPANISH DAWN ”  … “ … Our grandfather did not like this young Britain come Trading for Hay and Marmalade … he drove him off … but he came as an honourable Suitor … He brought his brother, and Papers of their Ancestry … A marriage was allowed - Our Mother wears Christian and the clothes of her people … we keep both religions … The children of my brothers and sisters are of a light, almost white shade … they honour their grandparents and they honour my grandfather … I am content … ”   (records were safe in the Americas 1930s)  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

1930s =  I found all knowledge of my ancestors comforting as I grew up  :  I told my young Uncle born 1921 FLYER/musician/athlete/  Lennie /LIR/     “ I call them up when times are drear … and they come in a long Procession … `   He looked startled until I explained …  Then he set about drawing them back through the Ages in a Procession … Saying  `Well, they are a bit misty when we get beyond the 10th century … but there are descriptions in some records of what they looked like …`

 THUS we could call them up together from the Centuries Past …  and ALL HAVE A CHAT … About DREAR TIMES and had they ADVICE ?    Well of course they had lots of ADVICE - it was in the RECORDS they had left  :  

…  We felt that the early centuries Ancestors had AXES ready … had to parked them ON THE SUPPER TABLE …  The awful  VIKING INVASIONS  began along the Britain coasts 8th-10th centuries … They burned Books and Books were often Records too … But although we had kept a homestead at ELY since beofre good sensible Queen Etheldreada 7th century came along to Manage the Area,  many Records were lost - BUT as we marry OFF SHORE we had plenty of RECORDS and ADVICE left about the known world  :   

IRELAND has a flourishing scholarly Christian culture early 5th century - Patrick 432 AD comes - but severe set backs 8th-9th centuries from Viking raiders - as Britain, even Paris …    

The early GORDON Records have not been kept by us - & 18th-19th century Records were burned October 1939 by JIM …  he is called `vermin` by Mary Gordon, daughter of TERESA CARROLL …  and `rat` by a woman writer he was trying to get money from `for the Crown` …

1939 CHRISTMAS :    Report of the old Gardener, distressed, relating how in early October Mary Gordon seemed to be ill upstairs, many photos & letters & books burned - the black cat pet of Miss Winifred was dead - Harry and Miss Winnie had gone away to WAR  … The Misses Bessie and Annie Williams had left for their relatives in Manchester … Mrs Gordon had said she was staying in her family home … she had said she did not want to leave her husband and daughter Kitty alone in the Clacton Churchyard …

MEMO :    ((((  Well, she, our Granny has some nice Letters from 1920s 1930s from a sister of Herman Goering - they look after the Grote Homes children for `Aunt` Margaret Grote - She, my Aunt MAG  wrote in 1934 that she would not enter Germany because she could not agree with the Jewish persecution - As they knew, her dead husband Tiggy Grote had no Racism and all Religions & the RULE that `we do not fight but discuss - but there will be times when an educated CHILD has to make a DECISION in this matter :    

… PERHAPS our IRISH GRANNY Mary Gordon knew these letters were an `insurance` if the `JERRY` invaded Britain … Grote children educate to 18/22 - many go into medicine, sciences, teaching, music, farming, town administration …

…  They are valued everywhere in the World except by the BRITISH EMPIRE of LORDS and their SONS … and the ill-bred …

 When I was very ill in 1936 the children of several leading German families, sent me cards and messages … these are with Granny Gordon too …   ))))  
   

… GREEK RECORDS - a genealogist to take back ? … ASK YIANNIS ?   … ( They may have fought at MARATHON  ?   Or been Philosophers ? … perhaps they watched the PARTHENON arise … ?  Were Farmers, SEA TRADERS  … ?  Look at Graves - visit places where family lived …   
Modern genealogy methods can open the past … it needs patience … but it is lots of fun … and civilizing … And do not forget you can travel back on the female lines Records too …
 
   

(((  MEMO :    AURORA 6th-7th centuries SPAIN  :  I do not know the colour my young ancestor SCRIBE refers to - Anyone seen the SPANISH DAWN ???    … I have given the Diary account in `1937 SUMMER`  Document in 3 Parts/some pictures/ on Work released 2011 January -  www.greta-ransom.com  … )))  

If you read some of the History of SPAIN 5th=6th  centuries you will follow a period of civilized behaviour and tolerance of  Religions … Scholarship rose - the Works of Greece and Rome are recovered and translated … saved …  But it does not last … But we SEA TRADERS can SAIL AWAY to other dowry lands of our RANSOM BRIDES … The delightful matter was that in the early 1930s we were in touch with this line of our Ancestry - Aunt Mag went to stay with them … they were now Shipping Agents on the Spanish shore … they had the same name … Recently printed to `H` is the Spanish Dictionary of National Biography - it is said to be excellent on early centuries -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


1936 … Came SPAIN and CIVIL WAR …
It brought to our families at Clacton-on-Sea SUMMER 1937 Georges-ANDRE MALRAUX, with his young lady Josette Clotis,
 a Writer - he a young Frenchman MAN of LETTERS, had been in Spain as `Head of Air Power`   …  Their presence 6 weeks in the Town helped Granny Mary Gordon in her first Summer as a WIDOW … He and she, sometimes Josette, would call and talk about Revolutions …Wars  and Peace …


… DEATH IN THE FAMILY  :    I would be taking a snooze on the bed of Grandpa and Granny 1937 Summer - strange to not have him about … with his occasional smoking of his pipe with Erinmore Tobacco … Always a painting on the easel in the tiny Conservatory with good light - he could keep warm with an oil stove and paint in winter if he wished … He and his friends, Police, town, Railways, would go sketching, fishing, a short ride on bikes to a place with a view, countryside or seacoast … Tea with old friends … Youngest son Harry and one of their sons might arrange to collect them in cars if a long ride had been announced … Bikes could come back by someone with a small van or lorry … GOSPELS were ACTED OUT …

ANDRE MALRAUX as the young man shocked by the BLOOD SHED of SPAIN will write in his notebooks of Summer 1937   (he reads them to me 1957-1959 …)     He came to know Grandpa George Gordon from all of us, the family, the town  :     He writes, and says,  he felt near to death after SPAIN … This small town Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, and EAST ANGLIA, where his mother had her roots so far back 9th century, gave him the WILL to LIVE … He will tell in the years ahead how    “ We had come from the blood shed of SPAIN 1936 … WE FOUND THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT here … and Mary Gordon and her sisters I come to know after the War … I regard as MY INTELLECTUAL EQUALS …”     

His mother Berthe has an Ancestral line that reaches back to The Family HISTON Sea Traders and Farmers, residing 9th century AD at Castle Rising area … and thence to Kings Lynne … by the 19th century to Saxmundham Suffolk … Families of SEA TRADERS rarely lost their relatives … it is the coming of STEAM ships that destroyed the days of SAIL … and families lost their roots …

1945 JUNE -  the 2nd World War ended in April :     Georges Colonel Andre Malraux arrives in Clacton town, his old friends Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN are here … He immediately meets The Misses Bessie Martha and Annie Agnes Williams - he is shocked to find Mary Gordon dead last year 1944 … he calls her `still a young woman` in 1937 … Josette is dead leaving him 2 sons born 1940 and 1944 - his two half brothers Roland and Claude are also dead - killed by the NAZI …

ANDRE relates 1960s, and LIR has diary entries 1948, how it was Bessie and Annie Carroll Williams , when he arrived and met them that June 1945,  who gave him the WILL again to live …

Josette had died many hours after a train had ran over her legs November 1944 …  He told them  “… they could not get the morphine to work for hours … he could not stop himself thinking of the pain and the horror of her death … ”
“ Greetah had seen him in May leaning from the great Iron Railway Bridge in the Recreation Ground … She had said that she wondered if he was going to jump off … No … he could not stop thinking of the death of Josette … she was dead when he got to the Hospital at Tulles last November 1944 …”

I will quote the Record that Lennie LIR my young Uncle gives of hearing from Annie 1948   =  “  1945 that June ANDRE broke down and cried one morning in the sitting-room … he would come to us at `Stella Maris` and write in the mornings … then go to the Priests at Montfort Lodge … Their housekeeper brought everybody a glass of good sherry at the mid-day to the Library … and she left the Decanter filled again with them :     terrible tragedies were coming to them from overseas … ”  … … …

sOUTHERN IRISH WEDDING :
 
c 1865 ?   Teresa Murphy Carroll CLASSICIST to John Williams
(son of Anne O`Brien & John Williams)  he Superior Silversmith & inventor …
   
“ … A SCARLET SILKEN SKEIN FOR HER FINGER … ”

 An Irish Custom mid-19th century was to give the money for the wedding ring to the POOR … the bride would accept a scarlet skein upon her marriage finger from the bridegroom … He would then earn the money for the gold wedding ring :    The husband young John Williams Superior Silversmith was enabled to make the wedding ring from Gold by his Guild during the first year of marriage … He had earlier that year of the marriage been allowed to make a CROSS in gold for his bride-to-be … this Cross on a gold chain was worn by Bessie Martha their daughter from the death of her young mother age 44 in 1882 …
… … … … UNTIL 1922

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


THE READER MAY TURN THE NEXT PAGES … or read on :
 
HERE 1922 enters yet again upon GORDON families & RANSOM families UN-INVITED PERSONS of bad character  :
     
GREED often about us for our LANDS and MONEYS … MATTERS KEPT FROM THE NEW GENERATION and some delicate family members :   

A GOLD CROSS made for his wife, given her at the Altar when they celebrated their wedding c 1860s … JOHN WILLIAMS Superior Silversmith - TERESA MURPHY CARROLL Classicist
… sadly it was stolen from her by her niece Teresa Elizabeth Gordon, accompanied by JIM JONG,  a disapproved of by the family crazy dope-soak,  after a tea party for her 16th birthday : These two ,   now so BRUTALIZED by Grand Scots coin-less Nobles,   hit Bessie on the head when she went in the dusk or dawn to a WELFARE MEETING she organises …   

JIMMIE Jong, half Chinese-British of a respectable educated Chinese family  :   British half is of a not so respectable family tainted by illegal drug fields of DIVINORUM SALVIA SCOTLAND … grown in sheltered glens Scotland      He is a very personal friend of the Count and Countess of Glamis Castle West Scotland and

WORKS BY MOONLIGHT FOR THEM … & Premier Earls of Scotland & Gross Britain the Family LINDSAY-LINDSEY … Glamis Castle Family of Bowes Lyon have a leading lady burned as a Witch 16th century for POISONING THE KING …
The great `Catch of the Seas` is to secure ELDORADO from the highly educated talented pure Mrs Margaret nee Ransom Mrs Thomas Immanuel GROTE  ( Her estate, every hairpin, is claimed by Premier Earls LINDSAY Crawford because of a marriage of her brother JOHN RANSOM 1883 to Millicent FROBISHER … she has a grandmother of 1830 named LINDSAY  …
 

NOTA BENE :    … an ETERNAL Scottish Nobles occupation is eying neighbours lands … GORDON have 8 pieces of Scottish lands not joined … and a Peninsula in New Zealand     (one of the 2 daughters & 6 sons inheriting is   GEORGE ERNEST GORDON amateur painter and father of TERESA Elizabeth GORDON … she has many brothers and sisters …


A CULT/PATTERN BOOK acquired 1938 shows the procedure  :  

  1.   Undermine family respectability.    

  2.    Remove them from any positions of administration Scotland or Gross Britain or the British Empire
 
   3.    Accuse the women of immorality  (not essential in Scotland but very necessary Westminster and South of England)  
 
   4.    CULL their kids inheriting or infiltrate.  
 
    5.     Inform Sheriff the Lands are not cared for  (he will not dare contradict a Scots Noble dope grower)     

    6.  Destroy all graves, monuments, paintings, documents, and call them JEWS … coin-less Noble Britain is very Racist …
 

…  THUS SPAKE THE NOBLE SCOTLAND DECREE PATTERN BOOK … how to thieve your poorer neighbours lands … IT WORKED VERY WELL FOR SCOTS ARISTOCRATS … and down South for LORDS AND THEIR SONS … Especially those active in some manner at WESTMINSTER or the EMPIRE …
 

    7.    Take photographs of wives and daughters in arranged compromising situations … tiny cameras had excellent lenses … they fitted into a pocket or an evening bag …  

 MEMORANDUM :   I Greetah Ransom had three of these miniature cameras with postage size negatives ( 1940s-50s small town photographers would cut a negative roll for a collector - the negatives could be enlarged and showed very good definition …

1945-1948 - Georges Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX should have paid more attention to my little collections of `bygones` … We could have caught ON MINI CAMERA all the LINDSAYBUGGARHS, Jimmie Jong Cur James, and the other persecuting criminally insane wretches of 1950s-1960s   :    the name “ LINDSAYBUGGAHRS ”  is the early 20th century Scottish and England POLICE name for them :  Police kept track of their movements when  “ … Lindsaybuggarhs got the BAILIFFS in again … ”


 NB :  if reading this aloud then use a deep Policeman voice for the foregoing …     NNB :  Photography was the new weapon for scoundrels from 1890s … )

REMEMBERING COUSIN RICHARD `a sunny boy`

Born 1939-2011 AD … Clacton High School - Imperial College London … marries 1964 - see local newspapers - 2 sons/twins … with issue :  

Great-grandchild of TERESA Murphy CARROLL CLASSICIST  = Mrs John Williams,  he a Superior Silversmith & inventor  :  Dublin and Southern Ireland/buy a big old Merchant House in Manchester 1879 = she hoped to find employment in the Manchester or Liverpool Colleges - she studies PLATO and HARMONY … worked with a sculptor on `Greek thought` ...
The policy of the new Colleges to become Universities was to not employ women with children … She had 5 girls and a son and was well-off to employ help in the big old house … She dies in an INFLUENZA outbreak 1882 …

I WILL WRITE ABOUT THE SETTING ABOUT US AT THE SEAS EDGES 1930s - 1940s … my day to day memories of RICHARD sunny boy are from his christening 1939 and throughout  the Wartime years 1941 - 1945 … into the late 1940s …  


I begin this APPRECIATION 7th January 2012 AD  :   RICHARD Neville POTTER died on Christmas Day 2011 AD  …  7th January is the Feast Day of 6-7th century Saint CEDE Bishop of Londinium and Othona ESSEX  = a great Roman Britain Fort of the Saxon Shores =  important matters to CAMULODUNUM Colonia Victricensis  and we STAFF of the COLCHESTER & ESSEX MUSEUMS 1950s - & to Georges-ANDRE MALRAUX my LEGAL GUARDIAN ( from October 1937 until I am 25 … )   MALRAUX  French Man of Letters is also GUARDIAN to the great RANSOM GROTE FAMILY ESTATE worldwide -

I and Richard cousins born 1933 & 1939 to two sisters Teresa Elizabeth Gordon (Ransom 1932-2-001)  and Esther Mary Gordon (Potter 1937 onwards ) … they are two of the daughters of Mary Helena nee Williams and George Ernest Gordon  :

RICHARD and cousins  :    we are children of the STEAM AGE … puffer trains were of great interest - a delight to travel by for me 1930s … and of importance 1940s to us all in WARTIME Britain … Clacton-on-Sea had a big Railway terminal from the 1860s … 1930s and Wartime it is manned by staff who were part of the small town life out of their hours of duty …
There is a lot of TRAIN MUSIC early 20th century … dramatic and jolly … we were familiar with it, grown-ups and children ...

… Also Claude Debussy LA MER  - the Sea Pieces conducted at Eastbourne by the French composer 1905 … East Anglia adopted this Work - a rival came along 1940s called Ben Brittan, Aldburgh,  with his Opera PETER GRIMES …  

… Clacton & the ancient lands about us had music of all ages … there were WAITS at Christmastide,  the Salvation Army Band was very good and played by the town centre TREE once a week, various other Bands were in the villages & small towns.   A farmstead had a harpsichord in an unused room of a great-great-great Aunt of the family.    Our music teacher 1944 was young Raymond Salt from The Royal College of Music, a composer too.

Second cousins of composer HUMPERDINCK had come to live in East Anglia 1st World Wartime … 1945 they put on his `HANSEL and GRETEL`  in Clacton town & a Repeat towards Manningtree in a School … My French Guardian appointed October 1937 joins in events with the varied interesting people that make up this small town and its ancient lands about it … He now a War Widower and with 2 dead brothers - killed by the Gestapo …  He has come to us again in May 1945 to our SEAS EDGES …

… He had to tell many people that “ Josette his young lady”  was dead November 1944, she mother of his two tiny sons born 1940 & 1944 …    1937 Josette had been very much part of Clacton town life August-September 1937 … seen shopping, at the Blue Lagoon dances … & ORDERING Andre and Greetah  called  “ you two ”   to STAY PUT on the bench around the town TREE.   Andre likes to investigate small town infra-structure … We tend to disappear …  and Uncle Harry Gordon sends out a SEARCH PARTY by telephone to where he thinks we might be …

   He had spoken of us in this small town Clacton & East Anglia generally    (when we go visiting 1937 where his maternal Ancestors lived 9th century to the 19th century )    `WHERE I FOUND THE GOSPELS ACTED OUT` …


1937 late SUMMER :   the future mother of RICHARD, Miss Esther Mary Gordon, was arranging her October wedding in London … where she and her young man Frederick Potter   ( he is 6 feet 4 and a half inches tall)   train and work in the 1930s …
And Miss Winifred Mary Gordon her sister spent the summer with her Manchester cousins, often at Saint Anne Beach … But we had the still unmarried Uncle Harry brilliant young mechanic at the garage Thorpe-le-Soken …

… he is very glad that we can help get his mother Mary Helena through her first summer of Widowhood  … She and Andre Malraux spent hours talking about old friends in the Arts - some in Paris/politics/Southern Ireland & its Freedom from Britain 1932/ WARS & DISASTERS  … Granny Gordon feels discussion not fighting :   but agrees with Andre a little after hearing his SPAIN experiences that `perhaps A STATEMENT HAD TO BE MADE` …  Josette found it such a waste of life … she was making a bolero in black with a big RED CROSS embroidered on the back … she will wear it at a meeting in PARIS in the autumn.   

… I being 4 and a half years had to `take a nap` afternoons overhead on Granny and Grandpa`s bed … I drifted off hearing many things … I AM THE ONLY CHILD AT THE SEASIDE … ( brother John is only 2 nearly 3 years and often has to be put in the Doctor Barnardo Home down the Old Road … he has learned to pull table clothes off tea tables & poor Granny has lost two lovely tea services … but this Summer the kindly Barnardo Home took him with them on holiday - his mother is attending all the Celebrations for the new reign - she was away from May to November - she has met Andre in 1924 in Paris … she did not know he was coming to stay with us … so he got the peace he needed …

…  She, Teresa Gordon Mrs R,  sent a man in August to get some money because she had been gambling - I said that I had a DRAWER in the Bank and could get him 50 pounds … he said OH IT IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT SHE OWES - do not bother … ”  And he went back on the train to wherever he had come from … I should explain that she is my mother … & calls me Ape & Eskimo because of my Ransom ancestry.   It had to be explained by Uncle Harry to Andre and Josette that I am trained to cope with the difficult member of the family as all of them are ...

 1937 last day of July , my 26 years old father FJR and Ransom men had to dash to SPAIN to rescue a 22 years old cousin … so they did not join us in all the things planned =  the rescue ended in terrible tragedy … I did not know this until late October 1937.   I know his mother - she is a Missionary from Ethiopia for the London Mission Society  …


The Saint Clare Convent School close by the Clacton Seafront teaches us in the Kindergarten to run a house simply - do the basic things - be neat and tidy all Sundays with a hat and visit the Cemetery … Andre and Josette are Roman Catholics too so they joined in all these things … Here in Clacton they have found PEACE … They intend to returns to us for Easter 1938 - however another WAR is planned … the last one only ended 18 years ago … The 1912  TITANIC disaster is not forgot and all seven Churches say a Prayer on the Anniversary - Catholic townsfolk CROSS themselves when speaking of it =  (Sign of the Cross)  …

This is a little of the world of the parents of RICHARD Neville POTTER … he to be born 1939 … His future grandpa Potter runs the Lifeboat Society, owns and works like a Trojan at the Clacton Town and district newspaper … and has a printing works too … His wife and her sister have some French ancestry … his wife on Sundays wears Edwardian style black frocks with very good delicate white lace collars and cuffs and some nice pieces of old jewellery - including a cameo brooch … her long hair gone white is in a loose bun and she has a still pretty face and lovely pink cheeks  … I Greta Ransom always curtsey to her …      

 

1945 June onwards - The WIDOWER Colonel Georges-ANDRE Malraux is taking me & small boys, RICHARD, Colin, sometimes John,  to the Clacton Cinemas, on the Pier, or swimming from the beaches  = we get tea from Miss Auntie Win and sometimes from Auntie Esther Potter …

Orders to show ANDRE Widower normal life come from his old 1920s friends Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN … The town and our Schools, especially our Nuns have to give him the will to live.
For a few weeks we in Choir and at school did wonder if he was going to TAKE THE ROBE …  Other families have dead from this War … it is noticed that some do not return to our ancient lands and small towns and villages of Essex, Suffolk   :   The families bereaved must be helped through their loss, shock,  and given the will to create a future …

 1945 Summer -  Greetha can still hold his hand as 1937 SUMMER when he is with us with his young lady called Josette … that was 6 weeks August-September and we lived in the house of the grandpa of Unity aged 10 years …  1937 MALRAUX a young man come from the BLOOD and GORE of SPAIN finds comfort and intelligent discussion with our grandmother Mary Helena Gordon …   He will call her  `still a young woman & his intellectual equal`    …  1945 May onwards, 2nd world War has just ended but it is an unreal time … we had become so used to WAR … newspapers to be read every morning, at school too, the BBC News broadcasts … everyone hoping the 9 pm BBC news would have good news so that we could sleep without too many worries …

So that summer we have some days Colin Frederick, sometimes John,  and Richard our responsibility - Auntie Esther can do her shopping in peace and we meet her at an appointed time …
BY AUTUMN 1945 I am growing UP AND OUT of clothes -  and Esther Gordon  young beautiful Mrs Potter   loans me clothes & shoes … Richard gives little smiles, almost grins,  at Cousin Greetha no longer a boy-girl carrying her homemade bow and arrows to school …   or showing him how to hang by your legs in a tree WHEN YOU ARE OVER 10 YEARS OF AGE and good at GYM at school   !     

…  MY GUARDIAN Colonel Georges-ANDRE MALRAUX Roman Catholic WIDOWER of Josette    (father of two tiny boys 1940 & 1944)    after the tragic 1945 August of HIROSHEMA JAPAN … the town filled with white sea mists part of the days that week …  made thoughtful announcements     “ Greetha, she is too BIG now to hold my hand … people will see I am a mature man and talk … ”     

…  He had no need to consider the matter  !!!  … …  … … …
 IT IS KNOWN THAT HE IS STILL A BOY … with excellent English learned from reading CONRAD when 12 years of age in English translation … He also reads our HOTSPUR comic … and looking like an ARCANGEL … he is quite clever-very clever-very pure of heart and soul … yes … and now given to ACTING FATHER to us all …  

Having been raised a Catholic by THREE GRACES, his grandmother, his mother and auntie,  he understands very well the state of the SOUL … When Auntie Esther Mrs Potter says to him    “  … it’s a lovely Cemetery Andre … we have a Catholic part … I SHALL ENJOY BEING BURIED THERE … YOU CAN SEE THE SEA … my mother and father and my sister Kitty are buried there … I AM GLAD YOU WILL TAKE THE ROSES UP FOR THE BIRTHDAY OF KITTY …  yes … you can say a few words to our Mother … Mary Gordon … … … ”   

As we say … he is raised by THREE GRACES in France … they ran a corner shop when he was a small boy … they only had him to care for … We know their names well … Adrianna/Adrienne his part Italian Granny … his mother Berthe/Bertha with her ancestry reaching accurately from 9th century AD to the family HISTON at Castle Rising, along the SEAS EDGES to Kings Lynn, to Saxmundham in Suffolk … and her sister his Aunt Marie/Mary …  
THE READER will follow that that between him and us there is an exchange of HUMANISM … a book he wrote at 26 years of age called `The CONQUERORS`  tells his good intentions … to bring PEACE and happiness … this book, and the one he wrote 1933 year of my birth, are known to our small town, the Elders of our families … In 1937 he is awaiting publication of his book on the SPAIN experiences … he also has begun a film … we see a reel from this in a schoolroom 1946 …  

…  Georges as some of we school children call him … the adults say Andre …   says he believes he gets his mind from his Grandmother … the stories she read him, her conversation, her own ancestry Italy  (a big house of her grandmother 1968 is seen in Italy - and he had bought or rented an upper floor )    … but his Grandmother died when he was 7 years of age …  His ancestry is in places as familiar to us as our own via TERESA CARROLL … and the GORDONS … Richard and I know histories, POTTER line too …

Genealogy was always of interest to the Anglo-Saxons … and it was necessary to hold on to it after WILLIAM of NORMANDY thumped in … on our SEAS EDGES …  

1945-1947 -  ANDRE-GEORGES Colonel WIDOWER of Josette ,  tells us children stories of when he was young … visits to countryside outside Paris, and THE SEAS EDGES for his family holidays … This small town of Clacton that he feels at PEACE in has sounds of the SEA and the TRAINS that take you to THE WORLD … a big Recreation Ground stretches from Railway to Valley Road taking its way to another road rising to the Holland-on-Sea cliffs =  these are Ancient Lands with histories … on your left at the end of the Valley Road is a NEOLITHIC CLACTON MAN discovery site … Old Manor Houses still stand from Norman French times …  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


2012 January  :      I, Greetha Ransom,  am remembering Cousin RICHARD … named after an Australian/New Zealand Uncle, born Britain,  went to Australia 1921/22 … RICHARD almost journeyed to meet his HUMANIST Uncle Alfred Richard Gordon … older brother of Esther Mary Gordon his mother  -  she born 1913 is the last of the big family of Mary Helena Williams Gordon - her elder brother ARTHUR GORDON born Ireland 1891   … in between are 14 children …

…  5 die of an Epidemic 1904-5 … we Cousins are descending from 4 of the 16 children … None of them forgotten … We are taught to be joyful that they had lives, knew happiness, gave happiness to all around them …

 THUS the understanding we have of our Gordon aunts and uncles dead before Richard and I are born … ( Elizabeth-Anne-Edward-Cyril-little Mary- Stephen ?- Thomas, Gerald and George twins …)  Granny Gordon who has a magnificent voice rehearsed the Debussy Opera Pelleas and Melisande through her connexions … it was a vehicle for her grief … HEAR IT …  she also had names you know , Bud Flanagan is one of them, who would insist she help them get bookings by coming along to sing …

The FAMILY & the world RICHARD is born into …  

1939 WAR has come :    GRANNY GORDON & her world of music  :  
…  `Fine Musical Comedy actress she could have been your Grandmother Mary - Bud Flannaghan Music Hall star   
( Flannaghan  Allen )   is telling me 1939 of events Gordon family 1900s …  ` We used to smuggle her dress out … GEORGE WAS NOT TO KNOW … but it all helped KEEP HER SANE after she lost them three all together … WE KNEW THEM … So we insisted SHE HAD TO HELP US … sing between our Acts … `Darling Mary`  she sang a lot in choirs … since she came over from Ireland …

…  all wonderful children … wonderful family … except one … Teresa … never give her a BET for a horse … it will NOT leave the stable … Noel Coward complains if she TREASA gets in the green baize door …`  


…  I, Greetah Ransom,   only granddaughter at the seaside, am 6 and a half years old outbreak of WAR 1939 September -  and used to coping with the FAMILY PROBLEM … I receive instructions from the grown-ups how to handle matters … ` not to go near her when she has a bottle of spirits in each paw - tell a grownup - and beware when she has been getting at DOPE … she believes sometimes she is a big black horse gone mad … `     It was not funny … but Uncle Harry was always jokey but as well solemn serious … when she raged he would simply call her `Old Girl`  & say `calm down`  …


1945 Summer …. Uncle Potter will give clear instructions from 1945 onwards when he comes back from the 2nd World WAR ...   ` … CHRIST !   I have just learned of …   (the latest DISASTER)   do not tell the women Greetah - they have fluff in their heads … `  (We can get Clacton Police to put her in a CELL 2 nights in a row if she is too bad … )     (  Grandpa Potter Lifeboat and Town newspaper keeps it out of the weekly Town News  :   And Frederick Potter, father of Richard,  gives advice to RICHARD from then on :   we should be polite but not be alone with her …

… Twice Uncle Potter fetched me G.R. off her in 1946 … saying
…  ` CHRIST GREETHA … `BLOODY WIN … she did not tell me BLOODY TREASA had hold of you again - pack your things - you are leaving with me now …  NOW !  NOW !    `  … Thus I had a little room with young married Beatie and Ernie Napper family of Nurse Connie Napper Clacton District Nurse and Nursing Home Holland-on-Sea Cliffs …  

 
… The much missed sister of Esther Gordon Potter is the pretty Kathleen Kitty Gordon =  she is Mrs Guy Vansittart d 1929 Roman Catholic marriage - Guy cries in 1973 when he sees little Peter G. RR. W. Whitehead age 3 years …  
 ` WITH THE HAIR OF KITTY`  … A sad man he had called with kind intentions at Colchester Museum the Castle February 1954 … the 21st Birthday party my father FJR was giving me in LONDON was tragic - I too ill … Miss Aunt Winifred Mary Gordon and her sister Teresa Elizabeth Gordon Ransom did not give the INVITATIONS to Guardian Andre Malraux and to me …

(that TRAGEDY can be read on www.greta-ransom.com  document in 3 Parts `1937 SUMMER`  a scaffolding of family history)  

1900s -1920s :   THE WILLIAMS-GORDON DEAD CHILDREN   ? - not unusual in 19th century-early 20th century Catholic Families … epidemics, accidents took so many young lives … Grieving parents replaced children to help their anguish -

 I, my age group, RICHARD somewhat too, allow the Elders to tell us that the dead of the families were in HEAVEN and will greet us when we go …  This implies they believed that we too will live holy and HUMANIST lives  :  
We do not confront this … yet we know MANKIND goes to the STARS … there is no other way to survive … we are well ahead of NASA … this understanding reaches back to LUCRETIUS … RADA is invented 2nd World War … `MOON IS EASY`  Its just a matter of Research …

ANDRE MALRAUX Summer 1937 does not laugh when I say that one day I will write Letters to school friends living on the Stars = and I may send him a letter from a Star if inventions continue =  He now set about designing STAMPS for the POST OFFICES on the STARS … Josette laughed when she found he had PUT HIMSELF on one stamp …         

…  8 of 16 children of our grandparents live beyond 13 years of age … We RANSOM and POTTER cousins, our children,  descend from 4 children of Mary and George Gordon = Arthur/Teresa/Esther/Harry …

MEMO :     We will gather up the honourable history of ALFRED RICHARD Gordon … (  he features in the Document 3 Parts `1937 Summer` 3,000 pages plus photos/this is a `scaffolding` of Records for historians - I released it worldwide January 2011 AD - )

 …  ALFRED RICHARD who protected his parents and younger sisters in the 19-teens, early 1920s … and lived at home for they had collected undesirable coin-less Aristocrats who were after THE eight pieces of GORDON LANDS SCOTLAND and a Peninsula New Zealand  … The GORDON LANDS were eyed via Great-Aunt Edith Gordon Mrs Tad-hunter … she tells of a near-death for her  evening -  when she went to a respectable intellectual gathering … Lambeth Palace I think it is :   I have included her RECORDS in my Works … I knew Edith sister of my Grandpa Gordon, visited her, Esther too …

…  THEFT FRAUD of GORDON LANDS  :   We are updated 1961 by the other Great-Aunt Annie at Kingston Mrs Frederick Henry Gordon widow since 1939 - he, eldest son of 6 of John Frederick and Matilda Kellow GORDON,  had a fashionable Painting master to teach him at Greenwich & exhibited paintings - portrait of daughter Betty was in Summer Exhibition Royal Academy 1930s

1961 Summer - Great Aunt Annie Gordon is telling LAW Detective Arthur Malone (our POLITAN = Tutor to the Medici Children as he calls you all ) …I am present … ` COIN LESS Earls, LORDS and their SONS , especially of Scotland, were a nasty problem to RESPECTABLE FAMILIES 1880s into the 1950s … and these DOPE SOAKS could play the old RACIST card =  With our Murphy-Carroll-O`Brien  Southern Irish ancestry and cousins coming and going from Manchester and Clacton SEAS EDGES  we had to suffer FOUL NOBLE MOUTHS & FRAUD … She says that Thomas Gordon & children (Police) may have got his land back … but they had to go to Court … The two cousins, children of Betty Gordon, are called Sandra and Gordon - 1961 they are in the London Police …
 

(((( …  Frederick Henry Gordon, great-uncle to RICHARD and me, and our cousins, can be found in a novel called THE CASK 1920 … his friend at work is writing it … one morning he said   `I was in need of a character last night Henry … so I had to write you in as Henry Gordon of Glasgow …`    This book is called the first serious Detective novel - the author, colleagues, friends in Railways and Police had so much FUN getting all the details right … it was necessary to cross the Channel … READ IT … often in print & in libraries  … ))))     

…  UNCLE ALFRED-RICHARD GORDON - Esther named her son RICHARD after this brother she could not remember - but they spoke every Christmastide on the telephone …   he helped in WELFARE along the River Thames where his Aunts Bessie Martha and Annie Agnes the Misses Williams introduced him as a young man … they of important Welfare work from the 1890s Liverpool & Manchester, London …   Alf-Richard taught boxing … a popular fashionable pastime … said to improve the character of the young … there were photographs of him when I was a young child 1930s … one existed until 1940s … He was too young to enter the carnage called `THE GREAT WAR` = 1st World War …   
 

I may roam about with this APPRECIATION of my kind sunny cousin Richard … it is not nice to lose a cousin younger than oneself … and one with whom I had 2nd WORLD WARTIME shared memories with  :  

…   We two children have a far from simple undercurrent to our young lives … ELDERS make decisions for us and give instructions how we should handle the matters …  in those past Decades of the 20th century  :    

…  NB :  called in literature turn of the centuries 20th/21st  `THE EVIL CENTURY` …

APPRECIATION of Cousin RICHARD
Born 1939 - lives to Christmas day 2011 AD
 

I am living in Clacton those years January 1942-1945/ before I am fulltime Colchester College 1948-1951 … the Family men away at 2nd World WAR 1939 - 1945 …

Grandma Mary Helena Gordon dies June 1944 … and so visits to all the older generation are now to The Cemetery … but it is a nice walk and there is a Catholic section …  From 1944 RICHARD no longer a toddler or small boy but calm and articulate, a real schoolboy … Jennifer born 1941 and no Kathryn born until after the end of War …  my brother John Gordon born 1935, and little brother Colin born 1938 …

…  A Clacton-on-sea town with a quarter of its pre-war population 1942/1944 … empty roads all leading to the sea, beaches barbed wired off until 1944 when the War is going badly for HITLER … Good fellowship and camaraderie - Many men and women come out of retirement to fill jobs, and old men who fought in the Great War the 1st World War spoke sadly that they had thought that carnage would end all Wars … We could talk with them, hear comments …

…  I could recall Sunday after Mass at my Gordon grandparents late 1930s, coffee, sherry, Harry with beer, and recalling the dead and the happiness of days before they died in THE GREAT WAR  :    There was also the TITANIC disaster … sometimes I had a nightmare I was sinking down and down to it … but this was usually after hearing other sadness’s - like the Great War and the TRENCHES … Two choir men had been in France  !    Many people knew someone who had been on THE TITANIC …  and not got off :  a Gordon woman did get off - rowed away … but she was only married-in.   Richard might hear of this … certainly RICHARD heard tales of valour from his Grandfather Potter who went out in The East Anglia lifeboats when young …

1945 August - Town of solemn people, us too, HYROSHEEMAH JAPAN … no one approved it … I have written how walking with Colonel ANDRE in the town that week it was full of white sea mists … as if in mourning … Auntie Esther very solemn and beautiful and still as a classical statue  …   The barbarism of that first ATOMIC bomb could not be accepted by human beings … Colonel ANDRE with 3 tiny boys in FRANCE accepts three a little older boys in Clacton … and me … HYROSHEEMAH presented to us all a world that might be soon going to demolish itself … NOW THAT WAR HAD SHOWN THAT IT COULD END the WORLD …


RICHARD born 1939 - female ancestors :   he is a great-grandson of TERESA CARROLL CLASSICIST born 1838 Dublin  

… her mother Teresa nee Murphy died at her birth :  the very well-to-doo family MURPHY of DUBLIN SHIPPING gave their grand-daughter a good education = she could go travelling with relatives and friends on the Family Murphy shipping lines and steamships   ( she becomes Mrs John Williams Superior Silversmith/inventor) …

RICHARD a grandson of Mary Helena nee Williams  
…  (Mrs George Ernest Gordon … Grandpa Gordon is one of the 6 sons (Frederick Henry/Arthur/Thomas/George/Walter/Edgar  ( & 2 daughters Edith & Alice)    of JOHN FREDERICK GORDON of Edinburgh & Greenwich & his second wife Matilda Kellow of Edinburgh   ( her Great-aunts kept the Post Office Warminster & raised her - there were still KELLOW family at Warminster in the 1980s )     Our grandmother Mary Helena born 1870 Sackville Street, trains as an expensive Milliner in Manchester for 8 years, she is a Catholic choirs singer, & rehearsed the OPERA Pelleas and Melisande  (Mary Garden rehearsed with English musicians)  to help her over her terrible grief at losing 5 children 13 years - 2 years in an unexpected 1904-5 Scarletina epidemic Highgate and London …
… Mary Helena is one of the five daughters of TERESA CARROLL WILLIAMS … CLASSICIST -   SHE STUDIES PLATO and GREEK HARMONY …
    

1945-1946  :   Georges-Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX Widower of Josette Clotis …  who leaves him two tiny boys …    & I ,  Greta Ransom his Ward,  take the boys,  who are the great-grandchildren of TERESA CARROLL Classicist  …  to suitable cinema  =  Tarzan   (the real one Johnny W )  , all sorts of Cowboy films, Laurel and Hardy … George Formby … even a FLASH GORDON …  (  no Hans Ruhmann films as I recall pre-war … he has banned himself by meeting Hitler … until the Father Brown series of the 1960s … )   

…  RICHARD does not learn music … and this is unusual in Clacton town & area - it is the intervention of the WAR …
 
… the musical teaching however is superb and the activities, and many professional musicians … composers visiting to Frinton-on-Sea -  At school we have MUSIC outside the British Empire …  Villa Lobos/Les Six/ as well as divine William Bird and Tallis and Vaughn Williams … and there is a newcomer young Ben Britain with his SEAS EDGES Opera PETER GRIMES 1944 …

… WAITS sing, as 18th century,  about the villages at XMASTIDE  : Second-cousins to Humperdinck put on `Hansel & Gretel` … & by then Colonel ANDRE MALRAUX is a familiar figure again about the SEASHORES town ...   Grand daddy Potter forbids any publicity of ANDRE with ease :   he owns The Clacton & District newspaper and presumably can forbid Colchester Newspapers & Ipswich and others … perhaps they fear he will have LIFEBOAT dump them out at sea if they dare disobey  :    It is an ancient town   ( in Little Doomsday Book called CLACTUNA)  and a county of good manners and common sense  :  

…   In 1937 ANDRE says 1970  “ … here I found the Gospels Acted Out,  Peter…  and I discovered what I wanted to do in life … we had come out of SPAIN and bloodshed … I talked to Mary Gordon evenings and afternoons about it … she had much experience of Ireland … I looked at the photograph albums … I have been able to tell much of what I saw in them … I heard that they were destroyed at the outbreak of WAR … ”

RICHARD has a good habit of listening to good men - he will  learn much from his Grandfather Potter and his old friends … and from familiarity and hours with Colonel ANDRE who visits us every fortnight or three weeks at first … Uncle Harry Gordon 1945-1946 loans us cars, finds petrol, and Mr Armstrong Geographer races about Schools,  including the Oratory Suffolk,  taking ANDRE with him … Armstrong, Cambridge,  is a friend of Uncle Potter …  Armstrong briefly knew Lawrence of Arabia in the RAF … The connections of this SEAS EDGES society are mostly to people with good principals & common sense … Uncle Harry Gordon takes us out to places we visited with ANDRE and Josette 1937 … Dedham, Orford, Mistley Towers, Saxmundham …

This is part of the the setting, the ambiance, about us … RICHARD growing up amongst good fellowship & camaraderie  …

My father Army Captain Frederick John Ransom is expected back autumn 1945 - he was sent to Philippines & then Africa  (he speaks Japanese and fluently about 12 languages …  20 or more sufficiently to handle the great Philanthropy Estate of GROTE HOMES RANSOM `Joyous Venture` nations A - Z outside the British Empire … ) …

Meanwhile, since the early death of Granny Gordon 3rd June 1944, Miss Auntie Winnie Gordon ex-ATS is to receive all communications …

Auntie Esther Gordon Potter, mother of Richard, is telling us  
… “ before the War I thought him,  young Fred Ransom,  very like a young TEUTONIC KNIGHT … always so courteous … but having to dash off for his Aunt who had property about the world … I think there was a Russian film, black and white, we all saw before the War … ”

1945 onwards  :      Miss Aunt Win said that she was in charge of much to do with the family because she was still unmarried … She got on well with ANDRE and Professor and Mrs WINNCLEMANN … she would say she was born before the others in November 1910 and therefore in charge … that her brother Arthur living at Woodford with his family , he born 1891 was retired …   ((( I think that she and Andre have the same birthday 3rd November … Saint Malachie Day, he the Saint of Apprentices … an old Irish custom is to allow the Apprentices to play jokes on their employer on this day of the Saint … )))

(((  Arthur and Nellie nee Maxted Gordon from 1945 onwards :  Their only child Eileen Mary Gordon works at REUTERS Newsagency Fleet Street = she is employed there for 42 and a half years … she is speaking to Cousin Greta in 1988/1989 … I, 10 years younger,  hear from her much adult family history …  )))            
      

1939 - I am 6 years when RICHARD is baptized Clacton-on-Sea - His cake was a light textured sponge with green and yellow icing and a Swan, probably a Stork,  in white icing … War had just begun …  1939-1945 …  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



COUSIN RICHARD Neville POTTER - 1939-2011 AD  :   

Richard is THE FIRST CHILD and only son of his parents  marriage - 2nd World WAR comes September 1939 & his father joins the British Army  - Richard the first two years will be raised by his mother and the Aunt to his father … she and her husband live in the countryside beyond Woking I think it is …   

Esther Mary nee Gordon last child of 16   ( = 8 grow beyond 13 years - a large family because of tragedy to 5 1904-1905 and misfortunes, accidents,  of late 19th century early 20th century medical knowledge …)    

Marries Frederick S. Potter only son of his parents - he has an older sister Miss Gladys whom we all like …  

((( … she will talk to WIDOWER Colonel Andre Malraux 1945 into the 1950s … they speak about books … Clacton town life … and deaths … Auntie Gladys Pottere lost her `young Man` in or after THE GREAT WAR … was it from War wounds ? … )))    

The marriage of Esther Gordon and Frederick Potter is at Saint Bridget Church, Marylebone October 1937 … Richard is to be my only boy cousin on our Mary Helena & George E. Gordon line …

…  Our sad Grandmother Mary Helena is widowed March 1937 … son Harry, me granddaughter, and Andre and Josette call and talk happily with her afternoons or early evenings … Winifred away with cousins at Manchester, Esther working with a Buyer at Selfridges, Uncle Potter still in training at BOOTS London, are busy with preparations for the wedding … they have found a small flat at Putney …

… ((((  1930s a young solicitor to Boots has Esther and Fred attend his acting performances with a Wimbledon Amateur Theatre … during the Wartime he turns full time to acting - his name LEO GENN … See him in a film about NERO with Peter Ustinov … he is very `dishy` … I meet him but cannot recall him … in 1957 November he calls on Andre Malraux at the R.C. General de Gaulle Charity Mission and residence 50 Lancaster Gate Square … I am asked to come to the drawing room … he calls me `GREETAH`  ( the correct pronunciation of my Greenland name before 1950s )   and remarks `YOU HAVE GROWN` …  …  …   ))))   
   

After her wedding Esther young Mrs Potter  and friends took a bouquet to the Clacton grave of her father George Ernest Gordon in November 1937 …


1939 - September/October -  the new baby named RICHARD had his christening TEA … with a cake with yellow and white icing and a `stork` …   :    A small families gathering in the long narrow Walton Road house … Granny woke up to find herself here … a nurse taking care of her … It was discovered that Teresa her daughter organised this move so that her mother could easily take care of her three children at the big house AT THE END OF THE CLACTON REC … `Pearly`  112 Vista Road   :  

1939/1940 … The Clacton RAILWAY reported that TREASA GORDON R.  was off to London … `dressed as a Duchess as usual` to her Nobles having WAR time Parties with big `nosh-ups and slosh-ups` ( = food & strong liquor ! )   She was a known Black Shirt 1930s with OZ   (Sir Os Mosley) and we had to phone him urgently 1937 and ask he get her truncheon off her for she had it rolled in a newspaper and was hitting people … He was very obliging - she should have turned it in at the Depo … Both he and my father agreed  “ SHE WILL GET HERSELF BACK IN PRISON AGAIN … ”   

…  This is the Family PROBLEM known to Uncle Fred Potter and his Dad Lifeboat and town newspaper …  So when you heard dear Uncle Potter begin with   “ CHRIST Greetah … I have just heard from the Masonic the latest … Bloody Win did not tell me this … Julie did not know either !!!   Do not tell the women … they have fluff in their heads … … …  ”    This is matters the younger generation are not to know … RICHARD was instructed how to respond to her by the late 1940s … and NOT worry his mother Esther …
He was to REPORT to Dad …

1939 October - Great-Aunt Edith  nee Gordon  (widow Mrs Tadhunter)  came from London away from the bombing … She told her sister-in-law Mary Gordon to go to Manchester with her sisters Bessie and Annie who were closing up `Stella Maris` Granville Road & going to be with their sister Teresa Mrs Butler and the nephews and nieces - ( their sister JULIA Mrs Butler had died early 19-teens leaving 4 children, John,  Teresa/Terry, Winifred and `little Bessie` Butler … )   Edith returned in November to her house on Shooters Hill Greenwich, fetched by her great-nephew Donald Gordon who was in the Red Cross … This autumn 1939 was known as THE PHONEY WAR … serious bombing had not yet begun - but it was expected that HITLER and his forces might cross the Channel and enter Britain by the East and South coasts … Uncle Fred Potter will send Esther and baby RICHARD to his Aunt in the countryside … RICHARD A WARTIME BABY … the nation did not know what to expect that autumn …         

Granny Mary Gordon had not wanted to leave the little house `Crail`  Skelmersdale Road,  three doors from the Doctor,  where they came in 1930 and had in MAY the luncheon for their RUBY WEDDING - 40 years  :    I got the menu from Aunt Winnie and Auntie Esther 1944/45 …     I sent an Easter broadsheet montage of this to our families a few years ago - I can print it out into this Work - I recorded too the SUPPER after MIDNIGHT MASS 1943 given by Bessie and Annie - I was there !    Annie described it as `a SUPPER as we used to have after MIDNIGHT MASS when we lived on the big Farms in Ireland `  

…  I am always very interested in FOOD of all AGES & the early 19th century TOP OF THE POPS book  The INGOLDSBY LEGENDS that Great Aunt Annie reads me have FOOD in them - of interest in RATIONED Wartime Britain, of course …  

  …  The occasion of the May 1930 RUBY WEDDING luncheon was described for me by Uncle Harry too … Esther and Win gave them two little Japanese vases come to me - memories flood back when I look at them …
