| 2960 | Documents: Birth certificate Marriage certificate Cecilie has a mixture of very happy and very unhappy memories of her childhood. She had a special affection for her father, and they often went for long outings and walks together, perhaps in Kew Gardens or, on holiday, in Devon and Cornwall. She particularly remembers a holiday at Boscastle after she had had rheumatic fever (which caused her to have a year off school)and was still very weak. But her father had a drink problem, which led to all sorts of problems at home, including terrible rows. Cecilie got a place at Girton College, Cambridge to read Classics (very few women went to University in those days, let alone to Cambridge), but withdrew because she was so afraid of leaving her mother alone at home with the rows. However, her father insisted she should go. After 2 years at Cambridge reading Classics, she changed to Theology. Whilst there, she met Clement through Christian groups and meetings. After her degree, she did a year at Homerton College, Cambridge to train as a teacher and then taught at Queenswood School (a girls' Methodist public school). Whilst there, she and Clement carried on their 'courtship' through letters as he went out to Uganda as a missionary teacher with CMS. He eventually asked her to marry him in June 1941. Having already offered herself to CMS and left Queenswood at Easter 1941, she eventually managed to get a passage in March 1942 on the ship Thermistocles from Liverpool which sailed under Navy protection in a convoy during the War. She took with her Clement's grandmother's engagement ring and her wedding dress. They hadn't seen each other for 6 years! The voyage took 10 weeks as they had to go via Cape Town (South Africa) as the Suez Canal was closed. She then had to travel from Mombasa to Kampala. She was first sent to teach at Mwiri School near Jinja. She and Clement married at the end of 1942 but she had to teach another term at Buloba Teacher Training College before she was allowed to join Clement at Mbarara (Ankole) where he was Headmaster. Cecilie had a miscarriage, but later conceived Margaret whilst on holiday in Tanganyika (as it then was). She continued to teach at Mbarara High School, whilst employing a young Ugandan woman to help look after Margaret. They went back to England on leave in 1945, leaving Mbarara High School in May. With Margaret, they flew on a "flying boat" from Port Bell on Lake Victoria to Cairo (via the Nile at Khartoum), landing again on the Nile. From there, they went by boat from Port Said to Liverpool. They stayed for a year at Blakeney on the north Norfolk coast which is where Dennis was born in the midst of the terrible winter of 1945/46. They returned to Mbarara in August 1946 (having sailed from Hull to Mombasa on the "Modasa") where they were for another 8 years during which time they had one further leave in England in 1950 which they spent in Speldhurst, Kent, to be near Clement's family. Cecilie taught again in England (RE and English), first at Tonbridge Secondary Modern School and later, after Margaret had left, at Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School, where she also taught Latin. Soon after they moved to Durham in 1963 for Clement's job, Cecilie got a job at St Hild's Teacher Training College which involved travelling all over County Durham to see students on teaching practice. She and Clement then returned to Uganda for 3 years in 1970 after which they moved to "Porters", Nutfield, Surrey, and worked incredibly hard on the garden, turning the acre into a productive fruit and vegetable garden. Cecilie took up pottery, for which she showed a real gift, and produced many fine pieces, including a number of lamps. Being so close to London and Gatwick airport, they provided hospitality for so many people, including many Ugandans, as well as a pick-up service to and from Gatwick. In the end, this was all too much for them and they moved in 1983 to Broadway, in the Cotswolds (first Peel House and then, in 1993, to 1 Morris Road) for a more restful retirement. Unable to continue pottery, because of no facilities in the area, she took up watercolour painting. In later years, Cecilie developed osteoarthritis (and had a hip and knee replaced), chest problems (eventually diagnosed as asthma), high blood pressure and diverticulitis, but still managed to remain very active in the the community and church.

She particularly remembers a holiday at Boscastle after she had had rheumatic fever (which caused her to have a year off school)and was still very weak. But her father had a drink problem, which led to all sorts of problems at home, including terrible rows. The only 'memoirs' which Cecilie ever wrote were the following short notes on 2.5.2002: "These are random memories because, as everyone knows, I am quite hopeless about dates, so these memories come to me at odd times, completely unrelated and definitely not in chronological order. "One, which I think must be the first, is of having to get under our strong, typical, wodden table during an air raid. I can (can I really?) remember a zeppelin in the sky. Perhaps that's right, I was thinking that zeppelins were German, but they were British too. Having started, I had better finish with the war [1914-1918 First World War]. The last memory is of the Armistice, being taken out of my cot (cot? surely not at just 5!) to see the whole sky illuminated by searchlights. " I think I was four when I had my first really nasty nose-bleed. It was very frightening. I lay on the sofa and the doctor came. There were many more to come, not indivudally memorable, though I do remember the one when I had rheumatic fever. It started when I was asleep and, when I woke up in the middle of it, I thought I was dead! At the time, I was in a very small room in the flat in Streatham - a converted house. It was a funny shaped room, square with one corner sort of cut off, with a fireplace. I think I was about nine. The whole room was absolutely full of flowers. They took a very serious view of rheumatic fever in those days - and not long after, I had bronchial pneumonia. There were so many things i wasn't allowed to do after that. Dad used to carry me up the hills in Boscastle where we went on holiday, and I couldn't swim. When I went St Paul's Girls School, when I was fourteen, I had to wear a red swimming costume until I could swim a length - very humiliating! I must say that sometimes, after playing hockey (I played in the wing) I could hardly walk home from Turnham Green Station, and used to lean up against the wall at the bottom of the station staris. No-one took any notice and i never told ayone. I was supposed to have a heart murmur. I didn't want to be told I mustn't play games like hockey and lacrosse."

For the last few years, she became increasingly home-bound and unable to do anything in the house as she developed Alzheimer's. | Mann, Cecilie Winifred (I24160)

| 2961 | Documents: Birth certificate (short version) Marriage certificate He has always been called by his second name, Clement. These notes contain only a summary of his life as he has written considerable memoirs about various aspects of his life. As the only son of a doctor, Clement was sent at the age of nearly 8 to board at a Preparatory School at Hook Heath near Woking, having previously been taught, alongside his sister Mary, by a governess at home. The Prep School was run by one of his mother's cousins, Reggie Maw and his wife Gertie. Five years later, he went to Sherbourne School where he was streamed into Classics which is what he ended up doing at Cambridge, although his gifts and interest really lay with Maths and sciences, which remained true throughout his life. Like Cecilie, he later changed midway from Classics to read Theology at Cambridge. After university, Clement offered himself to CMS as a missionary teacher and left in September 1935. He travelled by train from Mombasa to Nairobi and then on to Kampala, where he was sent to teach at King's College, Budo, the top school in Uganda. In June 1940, he was called up into the East African Forces, when Italy came into the War and had thousands of troops in Ethiopia, to serve in Kenya for 8 months. He was then sent (on 31.1.1941) to be Headmaster of Mbarara High School (MHS) in Ankole Throughout these years, he continued to correspond with Cecilie and eventually sent her a telegram in June 1941asking her to marry him, not having seen each other for 6 years. She arrived in 1942 and they married at the end of 1942 although at first they didn't see very much of each other as she was at Mwiri (Jinja) before they married and then at Buloba for another term before she was allowed to join him in Mbarara. They were married in Namirembe Cathedral, Kampala by the Bishop of Uganda, with Hugh and Peggy Trowell organising and hosting the wedding; Hugh Trowell "gave Cecilie away", and Celia Herbert and Jenny Trowell were bridesmaids. There weren't many at the wedding, and no family members. Unfortunately, everyone suffered from food poisoning as a result of the reception. After the honeymoon, Clement returned to MHS, where Cecilie joined him a term later. Letter from Clement Pain in Uganda to his family in England PASSION SUNDAY 11 APRIL 1943 MBARARA HIGH SCHOOL, UGANDA My dear Mother, Daddy, Ruth, Joan and Mary, Another week has gone which brings the day of our meeting nearer and nearer. We shall probably be together for Easter, but whether here or there we do not yet know. We have decided to break up on Thursday, April 22, the day before Good Friday, owing to food difficulties. There is plenty of matoke 65 miles away, but that means that it is costing us over sh60/- a week extra to feed the school. Therefore it seems rather extravagant to stay for the long Easter weekend which is all holiday. Of course it would be good to be here for Easter because many boys will not be able to have their Easter Communions in their villages. However, it cannot be helped. But whether Cecilie will be released on Maundy Thursday or will have to wait until after Easter is still uncertain. If she is not released, then I will go up there. That would be very nice as we should have Good Friday, Sat., and Easter Sun. when she would not have any work to do, so that would be nice and peaceful. I should quite like to see the place where she has been working, too. Then I would spend the two or three days after Easter in seeing the Dentist, Doctor for my annual medical examination, and another Doctor about my eyes, while she worked in the daytime, and I would sleep at Balaba. Last Wednesday I had to go 20 miles out in my car in order to get food. The lorry went to this place 65 miles on Monday and then broke down 51 miles away on the return journey as the battery gave up and probably dynamo trouble as well. So the school did not have full rations for Tuesday night and there was nothing for Wednesday lunch. It is lucky I have still got my car which can take 2 people and 1100 or 1200 lbs. of matoke, in all about 3/4 of a ton. Of course I have to go very slowly and carefully with such a heavy load, and I don't expect it is too good for the car. The Roman Catholic School on the next hill to ours went home yesterday, so we have managed to last longer than they have, chiefly owing to my car, I suppose. The rains have been good this last week, and one day we had over an inch. One of the things which have accentuated the food difficulties is of course the war. That makes trnasport difficult. There is a surplus of food in some parts, but there are not the lorries to transport it. Ankole is said by the writer of one school Geography book to be a semi desert. That may be true of the part round here, but there are fertile parts where the food is plentiful. And even in those parts where food is not plentiful there is as yet no real hardship, only there is not sufficient food over to supply our rather big needs. If the rains continue for another two months, then I think we in Ankole will be all right, although we shall have a difficult time for the next three months and we may have to have an extended holiday. The electric light engine continues to go well. Considering its age it is doing very well. Being British, a Lister, it is very well made and I suppose it should go on for two years or more especially if I can get it rebored. Well, I've come to the end, so very much love to you all. (Signed) Clement A.C.PAIN But he was called to Kampala in August 1943 where he spent 6 months based at Namirembe as the Educational Secretary General for Protestant Missions. He was then given a two month leave in 1944, which they mainly spent in Tanganyika, having crossed Lake Victoria on a steamer, before returning to MHS in April. Margaret was born at Mengo Hospital, Kampala 7 months later. Clement was an excellent HM and got to know all his pupils, visiting them in their homes throughout Ankole and occasionally beyond. With his phenomenal memory, he rememberd all their names and details for the rest of his life and was rarely caught out! He also had an amazing memory for places and roads, journeys and events. He and Cecilie left Uganda in 1954 to return to England for the benefit of Margaret's and Dennis's education, living for the first 9 years in Tunbridge Wells (144 St John's Road) to be near his family. He found life very hard when he tried to look for a teaching job, having been in Uganda for 19 years and having never taught in England. Eventually, he got a job teaching Art and Crafts, and then Maths, in a tough secondary modern school (Swanscombe) in Greenhithe (north Kent) which required an hour's drive each way. It was so different from teaching in Uganda that he was very unhappy. After just over two years there, he got a job in 1957 at the Royal Victoria Secondary Modern School in Tunbridge Wells, but after only one term, he was appointed by the Uganda Government as the Assistant Adviser in the Uganda Students Office, working at Uganda House in Trafalgar Square. He was responsible for placing and looking after 1500 Ugandan students who, at that time, when Uganda was still a Protectorate, were coming to the UK to study. Many of them were former students or their relatives, so he remained in close contact with Ugandan friends. He travelled all over the UK visiting them in their colleges etc. In 1963, he was made redundant and got a job as Secretary (=Administrator) of the Institute of Education at Durham University. At first, they lived in a residential caravan until the new house at 27 High Meadows, Shincliffe (just outside Durham) was completed. After 6 years in Durham, they went back to Uganda in January 1970 as he was appointed the Warden of University Hall at Makerere, Kampala. He did a wonderful job there at a very difficult time, when the university was a ferment of political dissent both before and after Amin took over from Obote in a coup in January 1971. As Amin became more and more repressive and irrational and violent, the halls of residence were frequently 'raided' by the security men who arrested students and staff, and Clement was often at the police station late at night trying to intervene and procure their release, or was hiding threatened people in his home. A number of their friends and former pupils were killed. As a very reserved, sensitive and gentle person, he found this time increasingly distressing and stressful and was perhaps on the verge of a breakdown when they went on holiday to Kenya for Christmas 1972. Whilst there, it became impossible for them to return and they had to go back to England without ever going back to their home at Makerere. Although they returned to their house in Shincliffe (which had been rented out), at 59-60, he was too old to get another job. So they planned to sell the house and gave notice to the tenants who were renting "Porters" to leave so that they could go and live there. It took a long legal battle to get them out, and by the time they moved in, the house (which had been converted into 3 separate dwellings) was in a terrible state, as was the 'garden' which was overgrown. They paid to have the house beautifully restored, but worked on the one acre garden themselves, gradually turning it into an extensive and very productive fruit and vegetable garden. He used the Elizabethan barn as a workshop and developed his skill and love of carpentry. Porters was, on the east side of Coopers Hill Road. It was originally a small detached tenement of Hathersham manor, itself a sub-manor of the manor of Nutfield. John Freeman held Porters in 1461 for an annual rental of 1s.3d. A John Porter held the adjacent land of Farnhills and Nomansland in 1528. In 1577, Nicholas Isted (aged 64) was living in it. In 1662, it became another addition to the holdings of the Clements of Kentwins. After 10 years at "Porters", they sold Porters and all but one of the few remaining few fields that were all that were left of the large Clement (Pain) estate which had included Kentwyns and much land near Nutfield and Blechingley in Surrey. But he held onto one lovely south-facing field on the west side of Coopers Hill Road which he passed on to his children, Margaret and Dennis. They then moved to Broadway, Worcestershire, for a more restful retirement. In a letter to Margaret written on 20 Feb 1983, following a cataract operation, he wrote: "I am a little depressed about my eye. I got my new glasses on Friday, but about a fortnight ago, the eye, which had been quite clear, got cloudy again. Consequently even with the new lens in my glasses I can't see much. For instance, I can't read this letter at all with my right eye." They lived at first in "Peel House", the converted Police station and house. Clement's eyesight continued to deteriorate, strating initially due to a bad cataract operation in Surrey, but then due to glaucoma and macular disease developing, until, in about 1991, he was registered blind and had to give up driving. However, he made the most of the little sight he still had and continued to be very active in the church and community and to go a woodwork class for some years. In 1993, they moved to a smaller and easier house in garden in Broadway. Although he was left with virtually no sight, his determination and memory and methodical ways enabled him to continue helping in the house and shopping etc so that few people realised that he was blind. And he could still navigate for Cecilie, who continued to drive, because of his amazing memory for routes and journeys. He also mastered basic computer techniques and learnt to touch type so that he was able to continue to write letters and to start on recording memories and parts of his life story. These are attached elsewhere. Documents: Birth certificate (short version) Marriage certificate He has always been called by his second name, Clement.

He found life very hard when he tried to look for a teaching job, having been in Uganda for 19 years and having never taught in England. Eventually, he got a job teaching Art and Crafts, and then Maths, in a tough secondary modern school (Swanscombe) in Greenhithe (north Kent) which required an hour's drive each way. It was so different from teaching in Uganda that he was very unhappy. After just over two years there, he got a job in 1957 at the Royal Victoria Secondary Modern School in Tunbridge Wells, but after only one term, he was appointed by the Uganda Government as the Assistant Adviser in the Uganda Students Office, working at Uganda House in Trafalgar Square. He was responsible for placing and looking after 1500 Ugandan students who, at that time, when Uganda was still a Protectorate, were coming to the UK to study. Many of them were former students or their relatives, so he remained in close contact with Ugandan friends. He travelled all over the UK visiting them in their colleges etc. In 1963, he was made redundant and got a job as Secretary (=Administrator) of the Institute of Education at Durham University. At first, they lived in a residential caravan until the new house at 27 High Meadows, Shincliffe (just outside Durham) was completed. After 6 years in Durham, they went back to Uganda in January 1970 as he was appointed the Warden of University Hall at Makerere, Kampala. He did a wonderful job there at a very difficult time, when the university was a ferment of political dissent both before and after Amin took over from Obote in a coup in January 1971. As Amin became more and more repressive and irrational and violent, the halls of residence were frequently 'raided' by the security men who arrested students and staff, and Clement was often at the police station late at night trying to intervene and procure their release, or was hiding threatened people in his home. A number of their friends and former pupils were killed. As a very reserved, sensitive and gentle person, he found this time increasingly distressing and stressful and was perhaps on the verge of a breakdown when they went on holiday to Kenya for Christmas 1972. Whilst there, it became impossible for them to return and they had to go back to England without ever going back to their home at Makerere. Although they returned to their house in Shincliffe (which had been rented out), at 59-60, he was too old to get another job. So they planned to sell the house and gave notice to the tenants who were renting "Porters" to leave so that they could go and live there. It took a long legal battle to get them out, and by the time they moved in, the house (which had been converted into 3 separate dwellings) was in a terrible state, as was the 'garden' which was overgrown. They paid to have the house beautifully restored, but worked on the one acre garden themselves, gradually turning it into an extensive and very productive fruit and vegetable garden. He used the Elizabethan barn as a workshop and developed his skill and love of carpentry. Porters was, on the east side of Coopers Hill Road. It was originally a small detached tenement of Hathersham manor, itself a sub-manor of the manor of Nutfield. John Freeman held Porters in 1461 for an annual rental of 1s.3d. A John Porter held the adjacent land of Farnhills and Nomansland in 1528. In 1577, Nicholas Isted (aged 64) was living in it. In 1662, it became another addition to the holdings of the Clements of Kentwins. After 10 years at "Porters", they sold Porters and all but one of the few remaining few fields that were all that were left of the large Clement (Pain) estate which had included Kentwyns and much land near Nutfield and Blechingley in Surrey. But he held onto one lovely south-facing field on the west side of Coopers Hill Road which he passed on to his children, Margaret and Dennis. They then moved to Broadway, Worcestershire, for a more restful retirement. In a letter to Margaret written on 20 Feb 1983, following a cataract operation, he wrote: "I am a little depressed about my eye. I got my new glasses on Friday, but about a fortnight ago, the eye, which had been quite clear, got cloudy again. Consequently even with the new lens in my glasses I can't see much. For instance, I can't read this letter at all with my right eye." They lived at first in "Peel House", the converted Police station and house. Clement's eyesight continued to deteriorate, strating initially due to a bad cataract operation in Surrey, but then due to glaucoma and macular disease developing, until, in about 1991, he was registered blind and had to give up driving. However, he made the most of the little sight he still had and continued to be very active in the church and community and to go a woodwork class for some years. In 1993, they moved to a smaller and easier house in garden in Broadway. Although he was left with virtually no sight, his determination and memory and methodical ways enabled him to continue helping in the house and shopping etc so that few people realised that he was blind. And he could still navigate for Cecilie, who continued to drive, because of his amazing memory for routes and journeys. He also mastered basic computer techniques and learnt to touch type so that he was able to continue to write letters and to start on recording memories and parts of his life story. These are attached elsewhere. | Pain, Arthur Clement (I20650)

Information from Mark Anderson: contrary to my speculation in the book "Dunsire Families of Fife", that Agnus Dunsire, daughter of John Dunsire and Christian Buchan, had married twice (once to James WilKie and second to George Welsh), the bride of James Wilkie was an Agnes born to Andrew Dunsire and Agnes Nicol about 1785. On her death certificate, her husband James Wilkie is described as Ploughman. Agnes was age 84, confirming 'about 1785' as date of birth.

| 2997 | Dr Michael Crompton Maw was born in Wakefield but grew up in Edinburgh where he attended both school and university before moving south after his graduation to take up junior doctor posts in York and Carlisle hospitals. He met his wife Sheila in York and they married in 1952. After completing national service with the Royal Navy and GP training in Cheshire the couple and their son, Richard, moved to Padiham, where Dr Maw took up a GP partnership with Dr Maurice O'Reilly. This was to become a long standing partnership which continued until the retirement of Dr O'Reilly. A well known figure in the town, Dr Maw was active in many community events and initiatives. As a keen swimmer he became a regular at the newly opened swimming baths and got involved in the' teach children to swim' programme. Dr Maw also played cricket for the Padiham, turning out regularly for the Tuesday league at their grounds in the Arbories and in 1966 he was a very proud consort to his wife when, as a long standing and highly regarded local councillor, she was elected Chairman of Padiham Urban District Council. Another interest for Dr Maw was rally driving and hill climbing, an activity he enjoyed as a member of Calder Vale Motor Club alongside his fellow Padiham resident and friend, local dentist, Jack Law. A keen golfer and an active member of Whalley Golf Club, the clubhouse was conveniently located just down the road from his home in Whalley so he could often be found putting the world to rights, another favourite pastime, on the 19th hole, or the 10th in Whalley. But Dr Maw's lifelong passion was hill walking and it was Padiham's proximity to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales that first attracted him to the area. He liked to refer to himself as a long distance walker, never a rambler, and spent much of his spare time conquering peaks throughout the UK. He was fortunate in being able to continue with this hobby until well into his 80's. If Dr Maw wasn't in the hills or on the golf course he was pottering around the grounds of his beloved home, mending fences, mowing, gardening, tending – in fact turning his very practical hand to any jobs that needed doing. Dr Maw, who died a month short of his 93rd birthday, had been ill for some time. He leaves Sheila, his wife of 68 years, and also children, Richard, Alison and; Fiona, daughter and sons in law, Nora, Brian and Ian and grandchildren, Thomas, Jonathon and Michael. | Maw, Dr Michael Crompton (I532)
