Lord, help me dig into the past
and sift the sands of time
that I might find the roots that made
this family tree of mine
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads,
on which our fathers trod,
which led them through so many lands,
to find our present sod.
Lord help me find an ancient book
or dusty manuscript,
that's safely hidden now away,
In some forgotten crypt.
Lord help me find an ancient book
or dusty manuscript,
that's safely hidden now away,
In some forgotten crypt.
Lord, let it bridge the gap,
that haunts my soul when I can't find,
that missing link between some name,
that ends the same as mine.

A suburban childhood of the Twenties
Seen from the Nineteen Nineties
By John Robert Laws 1921-2008
Part 8.
One faint memory of Green Lanes is of the buses with their cabs shrouded in wire netting to protect the volunteer drivers during the National Strike of 1926. What a good job there were no television cameras to encourage the attackers.
As well as the main shopping area in Green Lanes there were a few little shops around the railway station. The sweet shop was to me the most important and in those impecunious days, many sweet shops kept a halfpenny and farthing box with a selection of sweets at those prices for kids with pocket money. It is a sign of changing times that as I type this computer throws out the word Farthing as not being in the dictionary.
The dress of the period is familiar from photographs but the black and white of these photos do not tell us how much to colours changed. These monochrome photos are perhaps appropriate to the rather drab colours of everyday wear. Grey, black and white was definitely favourites except for special occasions. Green was thought unlucky by some though my mother had a brilliant green evening dress for one special occasion. Red tended to be associated with the immoral so one was left with brown and blue and usually dark at that. Even holiday wear was much less colourful, white flannels and a navy blue blazer being about the height of seaside fashion for Pater families. The ladies did much better with flower-patterned fabrics. For better or for worse the mini skirt hadn't been invented and bikini was still the name of an unknown Pacific island.
Among the street people with a distinctive dress the policeman stood out. A big man in his navy blue tunic and trousers, a leather belt around his middle with a bull’s-eye torch at the rear and his outfit completed with a proper Bobbies helmet on his head and big black boots on his feet for pavement pounding. Just occasionally his whistle might be heard shrilling as he chased some malefactor down the road. More often he was seen but not heard as he came by on foot or on his bike with his rain cape neatly folded over the handlebars.
Our family doctor lived just across the way in a sizable corner house. I saw him from time to time when I had various childhood ailments but his likeness escapes me. My mother always thought me thin and needing fattening up but rather doubting when the doctor included pork in his dietary recommendations. Anyway, I ate like a horse the only dislike I can remember was the kidney in steak and kidney pudding. The doctor had installed a machine for 'sun-ray treatment' and my mother took me over to him several times for a dose of the beneficial light. It was some sort of ultraviolet light emission which would frighten a quack silly today.

Dear Ancestor,-
Your tombstone stands amongst the rest, neglected and alone
It reaches out to all who care, it is too late to mourn
You did not know that I exist, you died and I was born
Yet each of us are cells of you, in flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own
Dear Ancestor,
The place you filled one hundred years ago
Spreads out amongst the ones you left who would have loved you so,
I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.
