In a letter to a miss Davies het mentions his beloved mother in law.
"Dear Miss Davies
Thank you very much for your efforts over the Birmingham Mail. I am very glad to have the extra copies - one I shall now be able to send to my beloved mother in law, who is the Anne of the dedication (To Another Anne whose spirits as unquenchable as my love for her) and will be thrilled to bits!
I return your copy of the book endorsed on the title page.
Yours sincerely
Archie Wheeland"
Also we know now that his beloved mother in law is the Ann of the dedication in this book.

Charles dedicated his books to

The Grand Hotel on Granby Street, designed by Cecil Ogden in 1898.


Occupying a prominent corner position in Granby Street the Grand Hotel serves to remind us of the scale of new hotels built at the end of the 19th Century. Built of red brick and stone in a grandiose style, it replaced the Blue Lion Coaching Inn, a Victorian public house, which was demolished along with the Carlton Hotel and the Conservative Club to make way for the Grand, one of Leicester’s premier hotels. The main part of the hotel was designed by Cecil Ogden in 1898 in a grand Franco-German Renaissance style reminiscent of the sixteenth century Two years later a corner addition was added by Amos Hall. The design here seems to have been influenced by the churches designed by Sir Christopher Wren.


A small hotel brochure from 1901 describes the hotel in glowing terms and it is clear which type of clientèle it attracted in its heyday: “Under its appropriate title ‘the Grand Hotel’ has formed the temporary home of the elite of English Society and of notabilities sojourning in Leicester. It is a favourite house with our Canadian and American cousins, and is generally admitted to be the finest hotel not only in Leicester, but in the Midlands’”


For its distinguished visitors it offered the best of amenities including a coffee room, drawing room and a Palm Court. One of the handsomest public rooms was the King’s Hall with walls and pillars decorated with Californian onyx and two large, carved, open, marble fire-places. Daily rates were from seven shillings and sixpence a day for sitting rooms and four shillings and sixpence a day for bedrooms. Visitors’ servants were charged five shillings a day for board and bedrooms were from two shillings and sixpence a day, according to position.


The hotel is now owned by Mercure Hotel Group and is called Mercure Leicester City Hotel. The hotel is now described as a place where ‘Victorian charm and elegance meets modern comfort’.

Charles Archibald Vlieland once again

In the Singapore newspaper there is a lot of information about Charles Archibald Vlieland.
That is where we found this rare illustration.

Charles Archibald Vlieland..
Years ago ,we found on internet a clipping in a book The asbestos mask with a photograph of Jerome Nicholas as is says under this picture and a signature of his alter ego Archie Wheeland.
All combined in one person Charles Archibald Vlieland.

And as we all can see it really is the same person.


There was also a note inside that tells us even more.

Dudley Batty

Dudley Batty was the son of Dudley Davison Batty and Emma Rouse
he married Phoebe Mary Vlieland the daughter of Charles James Vlieland and Alice Edith Millen.
Christening: 05 FEB 1888 Ospringe, Kent
She married Dudley Eugene Batty in Jun 1912.

They had one child Aubrey Batty who was born and died in December 1914 in FullhamShe and Dudley lived in a beautiful Arts and Crafts house in Buckinghamshire, full of Dudley's pictures.

* If you look up 'Upalong, Oxford Road Gerrards Cross' on Google, you will find three lists of residents – Dudley in 1929, Phoebe in 1938 and 1940, in a Directory with lovely pre-World War II typography.

Their one child died an infant cot death.
This information we have from Phoebe Mary's great-niece!

The house  named Upalong and was at Gerrards Cross.
The well known John Hislop visted there and mentiones it in his book.
Connections to Phoebe Mary, the strongest by far is Emily Anthony, about whom all we know is her death in Gerrards Cross in 1972 and the fact that, employed as nursemaid to the son who died, she stayed as devoted companion to Phoebe through Dudley's death until (assuming Phoebe died after her) the end of her life.
Dudley Eugene Batty was born September 1873
He was an electrical engineer and joined AEI (Associated Electrical Industries Ltd), the innovative scientific company, in 1929
He died December 1933.

This photograph is one of three within the Rouse Hill House & Farm collection taken by Dudley Batty (1875-1933), son of Emma Batty nee Rouse (1843-1928) and Dudley Davison Batty(1845-1878), and great-grandson of Richard Rouse, the builder of the house.

Photo Richard Rouse
Dudley Batty and his younger brother Aubrey, both born in England, made an extended visit to their Australian relatives in 1894, staying for some time with their uncle Edwin Stephen Rouse at Rouse Hill. Dudley Batty became a member of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain in 1920.

Dudley Eugene Batty: experimental engineer

After education at Wellington College and University College, he gained wide practical training as an engineer at companies such as Harland and Wolff shipyards and Willans, Robinson who manufactured steam engines, diesel motors and generators. His artistic heritage seems to have come out in design and innovation: he worked in the research laboratory of Mather and Platt and was then appointed Superintending Engineer with British Westinghouse, a major US firm of gas and electrical engineers; he later returned to the company in charge of gas engine sales.

In 1916 he joined the Associated Equipment Co. (AEC), who were at the forefront of passenger and heavy goods’ vehicle manufacture; after the First World War  he was appointed Experimental Engineer, and held the position until his death in 1933, at the age of 58.

He was clearly well regarded in the profession, being elected a member of the Institution of Automobile Engineers in 1923 and serving on its Council from 1931 until his death.

In June 1924, he patented a device to regulate and improve speed in vehicles such as trolleybuses (US 1497474 A):

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Dudley Batty, a subject of the King of England, residing at West Kensington, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Speed-Regulating Devices for Electrically-Driven Vehicles.

Thanks go to Grace’s Guide to British Industrial History and the Institution of Automobile Engineers, and to Nick Ezra, Editor of the AEC Gazette, for part of this information.

The Mantua

Today something different.
Charles Archibald Vlieland worked for years in Malaya.
Transport from Singapore to England took quite some time.
The only way Charles Archibald Vlieland his wife and children could visit England was by boat.
We read in the newspapers they went several times with the Oruba .



In 1931 Charles Archibald Vlieland went home on the Mantua .

IN THE 1891 CENSUS.
We see that Edward is now a drapers clerck and his father in law is living with them in Victoria Road Great Yarmouth.
Draper is the now largely obsolete term for a wholesaler, or especially retailer, of cloth, mainly for clothing, or one who works in a draper's shop. A draper may additionally operate as a cloth merchant or a haberdasher. The drapers were an important trade guild. A number of prominent people were at one time or another drapers.

Governesses in the Nineteenth Century

According to the Victorian definition, the term "governess" could describe a woman who taught either in a school or in a private home, whether on a daily basis (a "daily governess") or as a live-in employee. Most governesses were responsible for educating the children of the household until they were old enough to go away to school or to a private tutor, or, in the case of upper-class girls, to "come out" into society. As a profession, it was socially acceptable at least in part because the duties performed by a governess were very similar to those expected of wives and mothers.

In general, governesses were "gentlewomen" of reduced circumstances; that is, they were middle- or upper-middle-class by birth, driven by financial circumstances to seek employment. Essentially, women who became governesses had no significant male in their lives to support them. The mid-nineteenth century witnessed a marked rise in the number of women seeking governess positions for three primary reasons: 1) the aftermath of the "hungry 1840s" that had resulted in many middle-class bankrupcies; 2) a discrepancy in the number of marriageable men and women, resulting in a problem of surplus or "redundant" single women; 3) an increasing tendency in men to postpone marriage until they had attained economic prosperity. Unfortunately, the large numbers of women looking for employment as governesses resulted in lower wages and more harsh working conditions. But such women had few alternatives beyond marriage; until the end of the century, being a governess remained one of the few respectable professions open to "gentlewomen".

For her employers, it was important that the governess come from a genteel background. Educated and raised to be a lady, a governess was therefore competent to impart the accomplishments and morals of the middle class to children in the way that a working-class woman was not. For many employers, it therefore was imperative that the governess's character be beyond reproach, for her duties including inculcating proper behavior as well as academics. Her role was to superintend as well as embody middle-class female virtue.

Often of an equal social status as her employers, but occupying the place of a servant, the governess, at best, enjoyed an ambiguous station within the household. Most employers would not condescend to treat their governess as an equal, and most servants resented her for her elevated birth. As a result, the governess's life was often a very lonely one. And it didn't help that, to safeguard the governess's virtue/morality, employers generally discouraged her from entertaining suitors -- leaving a governess with little hope of finding a spouse and therefore as little hope of ever leaving her profession. Of course, some governesses did marry -- and many married their employer's younger brothers or sons. However, such marriages not only breached social codes, but also raised the threat of seduction. Not coincidentally, unattractive women were the most likely to be hired by as governesses -- at least where the mistress of the household was doing the hiring.

For the first time in its 11 year run the Bargain Hunt team will travel to Australia to test out our eye for a bargain.

The Bargain Hunt team will film five one-hour television specials in Australia in early August which will be broadcast exclusively on The LifeStyle Channel in early 2012.

“Bargain Hunt is such a loved series by loyal LifeStyle Channel viewers and frequently features in our top rating shows each weeknight,” said Nicole Sheffield, General Manager, LifeStyle Channels. “We are thrilled the team are coming down under and think the relaxed Aussie sensibility will bring a new dimension to the format and introduce a whole new audience to the show. I can’t wait to see what they uncover, what Aussie doesn’t love a bargain!”

Bargain Hunt combines all the excitement of a competition, the fun of shopping for a bargain, the fascination of antiques and the drama of an auction. Bargain Hunt Australia will celebrate the history of Australia and examine the antiques that are in the country and their origins.

In the series, two teams of two contestants – the Red team and the Blue team – are each handed a budget and let loose at an antiques fair. They have just one-hour to trawl the stalls for items that they hope to sell later for a higher price. Each team is assigned an antiques expert to advise and tell them about the items which catch their eye. But expert help is not always enough to curb the amateurs’ enthusiasm for an unwise purchase. The team which makes the most profit (or invariably, the least loss) wins.

Bargain Hunt Australia is being produced in association with The LifeStyle Channel. The Bargain Hunt team including effervescent host Tim Wonnacott and two of his trusty antiques experts, David Barby and Paul Laidlaw, will be travelling to Australia to film the specials.

Host Tim Wonnacott says, "I cannot express how excited I am to be coming to Australia in August to make the Bargain Hunt Australia specials. How will the shopping go? Does the Australian Auction scene compare favourably with those in Britain? But most importantly will the teams make profits? Whatever the outcome we are sure to have fun!"

If you would like to apply to be on the Australian specials please go to www.bbc.co.uk/bargainhunt

The five episodes of Bargain Hunt Australia will form part of series 31 of the program and will screen in the UK on BBC ONE early next year. Now in its eleventh year of production, the series is seen by two million viewers in the UK every weekday.

With laughs and valuable lessons along the way, will the Aussie teams find out that it’s not as easy as it looks?

BARGAIN HUNT screens weeknights at 6.30pm on The LifeStyle Channel, FOXTEL and AUSTAR.

Vlieland in Leiden .

We promised to tell you more about the Vlieland family that lived in Leiden .
Opposite de Waag is the mandemakersteeg (basket maker alley) where Cornelis Vlieland
then fisherman lived .

Cornelis Vlieland was baptised 25-11-1798 te Katwijk aan de Rijn he married
04-05-1821 Leiden Anthoinetta Marianne DOLL.She dies 21 February 1859.
He marries for the second on 24-01-1862 Leiden Grietje de BOER, 49 years old .
From his first marriage there are 9 children.
Cornelis started a fish shop and advertised a lot in the local newspaper.
It is amazing to find they sold oysters ,herring and all kind of other fish.
He also wrote an advert which reads like a poem in 1845 about his herring.

They moved house and shop and started a fishshop nearby on the fishmarket.
His son Theodorus Ferdinand Vlieland did not like the fish that much so he started a business in seeds.
And this shop with the name Vlieland on it still excists in the hart of Leiden and is now a pet shop.

There is another family with the name Vlieland living in England and they are descendants of this Cornelis and Anthoinetta.

3 October Leiden

Today we take you to Leiden to celebrate 3 October.
Why ? Because it is the place where the mother of Jerome Nicholas Vlieland was born.
She must have been partying in Leiden as well on 3 October.
And even after 500 hundreds years it is still celebrated .
Most inhabitants of the city of Leiden save money for a year to spent it all in one day and everyone takes a day off to celebrate.
Shops and offices are closed that day.

They start the day early at 07.00 0´clock with singing National and Leiden hymnes.
Then they go to The waag where the cheese used to be weighted.
But today all citizens get a loaf of bread and some herrings.
In the meanwhile all churches chime their clocks.
There will be a great market and then is not even 09.30 in the morning
At which time the children games start and a service in the Pieterskerk.
Between 13.00 hours and 16.00 hours there will be the big parade in which all kind of associations present themselves in a part of the history of Leiden .
You can see gymnastics , footballplayers and gardners and so on walking through leiden .
And you can hear the thousands of viewers complaining about the gaps between the acts.
This is also part of the long tradition.
And all those Leienaars eat grapes and smoked eal,drink beer and eat hodgepodge.
of course there are more activities, like pole vaulting and singing in the park.
At 23,30 fireworks will start and at 24.00 hours it is all back to normal for a year.
If you think why what a strange city , remember that Rembrandt was born there ,the Pilgrimfathers started there.It has its own Leiden cheese.
It is a very old and picturesque city.
But the relief of Leiden is not to be missed .
here is the whole story
Leiden reached rock bottom when the Spaniards laid siege to Leiden in 1573 and 1574. In 1573 the inhabitants had been prepared for the siege, and large supplies of food had been stored within te city walls. Leiden withstood the siege without the slightest problem, and when, in March 1574 the Spaniards suddenly withdrew, Leiden celibrated in the belief that the danger had subsided. To their alarm, the Spaniards returned in May. The siege had only been lifted temporarily, because the troops had to fight elsewhere. Again the city lay under siege, and this time the Spaniards had the city in a deadly grip. The supplies that had kept Leiden going during the first siege, had not yet been replenished, and soon food shortages occurred. The population of Leiden was starved out by their Spanish besiegers. The States of Holland, the national government of that time, tried to relieve Leiden by cutting the dikes of the IJsel, and so flood the country. This, however, did not immediately give the desired effect because of low water levels, and the wind blowing from the wrong direction. The situation in Leiden worsened by the day, and more and more people died. It took two more months before rains and storms made the waters accumulate in the area around Leiden.
That water allowed the "Geuzen" protestants fighting the Spanish king, Philip 2, to reach Leiden and threaten the Spaniards. In the night of 2-3 October, the Spanish besiegers withdrew, threatened both by the water and by the Geuzen, Leiden had been relieved. The population had suffered great hardships. During the siege one third of the population had died, and the rest was dangerously close to starvation.
the mayor of Leiden van der Werff would not surrender and offered the hungry his arm so they had something to eat .

Fortunately, the Geuzen had brought White Bread and Herring, and in the deserted Spanish positions, an enormous kettle with Hotch-Potch was found. Thus a tradition was born. Ever since that day, 3 October 1574, Leiden celebrates it relief with Hotch-Potch and Herring with White Bread. This celebration has developped into a huge popular festival, with a fair, parades and markets, which are visited by hundreds of thousands people. Even in Australia people celebrate the relief of Leiden on 3 October.
In Leiden they have a very distinct accent called Leids .Here you can download a free 3 october ringtone.
And also in Spring it is not to be missed.

The name Vlieland in this clip is still there but that will be explained some other time .
Now lets´s party

Ray send us some articles.
This one shows the date that Jerome Junior was ordained and was granted a living by his Uncle Bishop Blomfield (Bishop of London).
It notes that:

Theory and Practice

Theory and practice is our motto for today.
The search for Jeroen Nicolaas Hollander, or as he becomes in later life Jerome Nicholas Vlieland is helped by the Hollander familywebsite.
All knowledge of the Hollander name is there to be found and we are positive that someone, someday will find out more about him or the birthdate and place of his father Jan Jans Hollander.
His marriage was in 1785 in Amsterdam so he could be born about 1760.
So that was the theory and now the practice.

We found on the internet the book Jerome Nicholas Vlieland wrote.
It is not only on the internet after 200 years but also read out loud .
So after all these years you can learn German with your own greatgreatgreatgrandfather.
Maybe all his other books will follow.
I am looking forward to ` dancing with Jerome `where he teaches us to waltz.
But now we start with Theory and Practice.

Heartless Robbery
Frederick William Day ,23 cabman,was indicted for having stolen a watch and chain and earring,value 7l 10s, the goods of Emily Vlieland.-In october last year the prosecutrix, a young woman of rather attractive appearance made the acquaintance of the prisoner at a dancing academy and they subsequently`walked out`as engaged.
He knowing that she was possesed of some money induces her to lend him some towards the purchase of a horse and cab,and she afterwards gave him a portion of her jewellery in order to make up a sufficient sum.
In April last the prisoner called to see her and she then had in her hand a gold watch and chain which he asked her for in order to raise more money so as to let to their earlier marriage:but she declined to let him have them,as they have been bequeathed to her by her mother,who was dead.
She had occasion to leave the room for a few minutes,and on her return the prisoner had disappeared with the watch and chain:and although information had been given to the police, the prisoner was not arresteduntil the beginning of this month.when it was found that he had pledged the property and exchanged the duplicate for some harness.
It was then ascertainedthat the prisoner during the time of this so called courtship had been living with another woman,by whom he had two children
In the result the jury returned a verdict `guilty`and Mr .Fletcher passed sentence of nine month´s hard labour.
