His occupation is recorded as “Clerk in Holy Orders, Established Church.”<br /><br />I consulted Crockford’s Clerical directory for various years, which gave me some more information on Jack’s career.<br /><br />He went to St Catherine’s College in Oxford, where he got his BA in 1905. He was awarded his MA in 1916.<br /><br />He became a deacon 1905, and a priest in 1906. From 1905 until 1911 he was Curate of Kimberworth, Rotherham. In 1906, his address is recorded as 98 Regent Street, Rotherham.<br /><br />From 1911 – 1912, he was Curate at St Marks, Broomhall, Sheffield. <br /><br />From 1913 – 1915, he was Vicar of Grimethorpe, Barnsley. His address (unsurprisingly) was the Vicarage.<br /><br />From 1916 – 1923, he was Curate of St John, Newland, Hull. His address is recorded as 20 Ryde Street, Beverley Road. Hull. There is a reference in the East Yorkshire archives for St John’s dated 8 December 1916 which reads “Licence for assistant curate John Ernest Lamin.” <br /><br />From 1923 – 1936, he was Vicar of North Dalton, again living at the Vicarage. North Dalton is small village south west of Driffield, in the East Riding of Yorkshire (where, coincidently, some of my ancestors lived).<br /><br />From 1936 onwards, he was at Newton-on-Ouse, again in Yorkshire, this time north west of York. His address is the Vicarage. In 1938, he became the Officiating Chaplain at the nearby RAF Linton-on-Ouse. From June 1937 until April 1940, the Station was also home to Headquarters No 4 (Bomber) Group, which controlled the bomber stations in Yorkshire.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285542753721146555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-29246955258200973262010-05-13T19:57:33.061+01:002010-05-13T19:57:33.061+01:00Hope you don't mind, but I have sent an enquir...Hope you don't mind, but I have sent an enquiry for you about Jack to the Lambeth address.

As a Canon Jack would probably have had allotted services when he would have preached.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636059.post-34561069330490576322010-05-11T23:22:50.374+01:002010-05-11T23:22:50.374+01:00I am wondering how it is that Ethel kept letters t...I am wondering how it is that Ethel kept letters to Jack but not the letters that Harry wrote to her. What do you think? I wonder if you would post other letters exchanged among the "characters" in this fascinating story. I have been following Harry's blog for nearly two years and I still check it every day. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
