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 Twenties as seen from the Nineteen Ninetiesby John Robert Laws 1921-2008 Part 7 The tradesmen were the people who are impressed on my memory. Delivery was the order of the day despite shopping on an almost daily basis. The milkman had an open-backed float with churns in it and would dip the milk out with a long-handled measure into your jug. It was not long till he graduated to a horse and cart with four wheels and milk in glass bottles with cardboard tops but in very hot weather, despite two deliveries a day, you still had to boil the milk soon after delivery before it went off.
My mother used to tell me that when she lived in Devon as a child they had their own cow and that after milking she would separate the cream which she loved and churn the butter. That was all gone for town dwellers of course, but in the grocers shop the butter would still be scooped up and patted into shape instead of arriving in oblong paper packets.
The grocer delivered as well and his man would arrive at the doorstep and jog the memory with a verbal list of commodities delivered in a rapid-fire voice rather like a market auctioneer." Salt - Pepper - Vinegar-Mustard" he would fire away and then take up his list at the same point after he had been interrupted with an item. The baker's man pulled a two-wheeled handcart with a rounded top and a leg at the back so that it didn't tip up when he let go. He would delve into this for the loaf you wanted, warm and crusty and certainly not wrapped or sliced!
The postman was distinctive in his blue uniform with red piping and his odd little flat hat, almost a helmet. He did not bring a load of junk mail for the dustman to take away again, and what he delivered today had been posted yesterday except that from foreign parts. It is odd to have no memory of a butcher delivering at that time, perhaps my mother preferred to select our meat in the shop. There were certainly butchers boys to be seen on their delivery bicycles with a basket on the front, whistling their way around the streets.
Later, in the thirties, we had a butcher who would call early and then would come back with the meat in time for lunch. Going by the name of Sam Collins he was a big beefy fellow with a perpetual grin who was everybody’s friend. There were street traders in the twenties as throughout the ages. A muffin man came along the street at weekends ringing his handball with a cloth covering a tray of muffins and crumpets on his head.
From time to time a knife grinder would come along with a grinding wheel attached to the front of his bicycle and worked in some mysterious way from the pedals. He called as he came, offering his services and out would come the women with their carvers and kitchen knives to sharpen. Most doorsteps were sandstone anyway so there were plenty who managed well without him.
In the High Street, there were those who offered oddments from doorways, matches and lemons spring to mind. Along the gutters the sandwich board men, walked, enclosed in their advertising matter or calls to repentance, sometimes singly sometimes in threes or fours in a straggling crocodile. Occasionally there was an organ grinder on the corner of a side street, winding his handle and his mechanical music would add to the general street noise.
There is an impression of noisiness in the High Street. Apart from the street traders, there were trams clattering on their steel rails, horses were iron-shod and so were the wheels of most of the carts. Lorries vans and cars were less well silenced and there was even the occasional Steam traction engine. However, there were no motor scooters and the few motorbikes did not roar around.

Your tombstone stands amongst the rest, neglected and alone
It reaches out to all who care, it is too late to mournYou did not know that I exist, you died and I was bornYet 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 agoSpreads out amongst the ones you left who would have loved you so,I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knewThat someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.
