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 Child of the twenties
A suburban childhood of the 1920s as seen from the 1990sbyJohn Robert Laws 1921-2008
Our garden was not very large, a rectangle with a concrete path around the patch of grass to leave a border for plants and little trees. A little extra bit was squeezed in at the side of the back of the house before the narrow sideway out to the front. Inside the rectangle of the path, the grass had half a dozen little apple trees around the edge. The plants elude my memory, only the laburnums stand out clearly always in flower with a prickly rose bush under one of them.
One went into the garden at the side of the back door, from the scullery down a couple of sandstone steps. Only in very warm weather was the double back door of the bay window in the kitchen opened for regular use. It opened onto a paved area across to the garden which caught the afternoon sun.
For some time I had a white albino rabbit in a hutch in the garden. It had a wire netting run from which it would burrow out if not carefully supervised.
Our house was semi-detached built of London stocks in the late 1800s, one of the better houses almost at the top of the hill. We lived there till I was ten, so being an inquisitive child, I learned to know the area better than the palm of my hand.
As an infant the day was spent in the kitchen, a pleasant enough room lit by a bay window with a half-glazed double door to the garden. It was heated by a black-leaded built-in kitchen range with an oven to the side and a back boiler to heat the water. This had to be lit every morning if the weather was cold and if it were lit it would be used for some cooking. the kitchen was lit at night by single central gaslight, soft sympathetic light without the brilliance of the electricity which came later. candlesticks were on the mantlepiece for bedtime. Mine was enamel but my mother had a more elegant one, once silver plated but already polished down to the brass, I still have it.
The kitchen furnishings were plain and useful. A large deal table with an end drawer and covered with a tablecloth. one leg very tatty from being used as a scratching post by the cat. Bentwood chairs, comfortable enough but a little creaky, one an elbow chair, the rest plain but with the usual pressed pattern on the seat. A built-in brown painted dresser with drawers and cupboards below and a slightly mixed collection of plates on edge on the shelves with the cups hanging from hooks on the front. Meals were usually taken in the kitchen except at weekends when lunch (called dinner) and tea were taken in the dining room.
Fortunately, the kitchen was a good-sized room and a child could run about and play on the floor with little impediment.
