Symes, R. A.
Tracing Your Ancestors Through Letters and Personal Writings: a Guide for Family Historians
(Pen and Sword, 2016).
Could your ancestors write their own names or did they mark official documents with a cross? Why did great-grandfather write so cryptically on a postcard home during the First World War? Why did great-grandmother copy all the letters she wrote into letter-books? How unusual was it that great-uncle sat down and wrote a poem, or a memoir? Researching Family History Through Ancestors' Personal Writings looks at the kinds of (mainly unpublished) writing that could turn up amongst family papers from the Victorian period onwards - a time during which writing became crucial for holding families together and managing their collective affairs. With industrialisation, improved education, and far more geographical mobility, British people of all classes were writing for new purposes, with new implements, in new styles, using new modes of expression and new methods of communication (e.g. telegrams and postcards). Our ancestors had an itch for scribbling from the most basic marks (initials, signatures and graffiti on objects as varied as trees, rafters and window ledges), through more emotionally-charged kinds of writing such as letters and diaries, to more creative works such as poetry and even fiction. This book shows family historians how to get the most out of documents written by their ancestors and, therefore, how better to understand the people behind the words. Paperback. New book, fine. ix + 270pp. Order No. NSBK-A15529
Keywords: 9781473855434, family, geneaology, family trees, geneaological, diaries, social history, family historians, ancestors, literacy, correspondence, journals, autobiographies, signatures, commonplace books

Portrayer Reproductions, .
Replica Rectangular Votes for Women Suffragette Badge:
(Portrayer Publishers, 2018).
Rectangular, and measuring 3.5cm by 3cm, this badge is one of the larger and heavier ones in our collection. It's presented with a complimentary purple velvet pouch in an attractive silver-backed gift bag, and makes the perfect gift. (Particularly for any woman with a mind of her own!) The original badge from the suffragette era was glass-faced and contained woven fabric in the three suffragette colours. Therefore, the reproduction here has been created in transparent metallic enamels to give the idea of glass, and it also displays a downward gold-plated 'striping' to give the woven effect. The badge is secured at the back with two rubber butterfly-clutches. Badge. Brand new, fine. pp. Order No. NSBK-C15568
Keywords: B07KFHH5LY, badge, Christmas gifts, jewellery, jewelry, woman suffrage, button badge, pin backs, pinback, suffragette era, suffragettes, women, women's history, woman, woman's history, history, social history, Britain, British history, England, English history, WSPU, Women's Social and Political Union, enamel badges, suffragette jewellery, suffragette jewelry, Edwardian, brooch, brooches, Portrayer Publishers, suffragette ephemera, pins
