"However, as you will be aware, two concurring decisions in your favour are required before any decree can be granted. For this purpose it will be necessary to refer all the papers in the case to our appeal court in Birmingham. The appeal court will decide if it can merely confirm the first instance decision and issue a Decree of Nullity; or whether it must consider the case at greater length. If that latter should be the case, we would then send you another form to sign by which you would re-appoint your Advocate. In any case, the period of waiting for the decision of the appeal court will be at least three months. "We are pleased to be able to inform you of the happy outcome of the case thus far; and pray the case will be successful on appeal."

Not to mention a Judas tree that was one of the first to be brought to England and which, rather decrepit, still survives. c. 1941 We went to Lisburn, N. Ireland where my father was stationed, probably to prevent The Republic of Ireland either being invaded by the Germans or to deal with them if they decided to declare with the Germans. My father told me we had two stints in Lisburn but I don't remember that, too young. c. late 1943. Camberley, Hants while my father was on a staff course at Sandhurst prior to being appointed major. I think we were there for six months. c. 1944 to c. March 1945 The Old House, Bradfield, Berks where we stayed with my grandmother while my father was in Africa then Italy. Mead House was let so we could not move back in there. c. April 1945 to c. Sept 1946: Mead House, Bradfield. A lovely time there as Martin and I were just old enough to appreciate the space to run about and play in. But it was sold either because it was too expensive or because, as he has said in recent years, my father could not stand his mother-in-law in the close vicinity. c. Oct 1946 to summer 1958: Barkers, Amersham Common, Bucks. A small, perhaps 18th century farmhouse with 6 bedrooms plus a kitchen wing in around 3 acres. A great place for children to play in. Summer 1958 to Feb 1959: Breve House, Heronsgate, Herts. A larger house in a slightly larger plot which I hardly stayed in because I had left Oxford and was waiting to start National Service. Feb to Aug 1959: Catterick Camp, North Yorks. Basic training in the Royal Signals. Sept 1959-Feb 1961: Royal Signals Barracks at S.E. Gloucester, working at Boddington near Cheltenham for the final 18 months of my National Service. Feb to Sept 1961: Borehamwood, Herts, while I worked for Elliot Automation. Sept 1961-Sept 1963: Mostly at No 7 Victoria Square, Clifton, Bristol while I was a student there. Oct 1963-Aug 1965: Flat 2, Glenageary House, Glenageary, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland for the first two years of my degree course at UCD. Sep 1965-Sep 1966 At a bungalow a mile away, still in Glenageary, for the final year of my degree course. Oct 1966 to late 1968: Gorwyn House, Cheriton Bishop, Devon for my year of research into Popper's works followed by working at Westbrick Ltd at Exeter. Late 1968 to June 1970: A smaller house in Crediton, Devon still working for Westbrick Ltd. June to October 1970: Forum House, Billingham, Teesside having moved there for a job with United Biscuits at Billingham (or Meredith and Drew as it was still named then) Nov 1970 to Sept 1971: Prior Court, Low Grange Billingham, a key-worker council flat in a tower block, shared with another key-worker at the factory. Oct 1971 to mid 1976: No 4 Laxton Close, High Grange, Billingham, a small four bedroom house built in a vast development by Greensitt and Barratt, now known as Barratt. The start of my property investment which paid off handsomely over the following decades of vast price inflation. Mid 1976 to Sept 1983: 26 Hilton Road, Seamer, Nr Stokeley, North Yorks, a small three bedroom house with lovely views and a delightful pub next door. Oct 1983 to Sept 1990: 37 Harebell Close Hartley Wintney, Hants, a small four bedroom house on the Astles estate just north of the main road, and shops, in Hartley Wintney, a lovely village where my uncle and aunt, Hugo and Bettine Ferrand lived. My job with UB had taken me south to work in Twickenham. Sept 1990 on: Winkfield, Windsor, to a large three bedroom house which we enlarged to make four bedrooms. The move was so that the boys could go to St John's Beaumont. Oct 2003-Mar 2004: Major ground floor extension to the house: doubled the dining room, with a glass-house over it and tripled the utility room. _________________________________________ Here's a list of the genetic representations we have accumulated: Representative of Philip Powys, 1704-79, of Hardwick, Oxon.

As of March 2008, the pedigree has been signed off but needs formal approval by another herald and then scrivened up and finall bound into the record books; this may take another year or so! Meanwhile, March 2008, I have ordered also a scrivened copy of the pedigree to include a few coats of arms, particularly the impalements of my parents and paternal grandparents, not to mention also, if possible, an inescutcheon of pretence for my grandfather on account of his marrying an eventual, and in her issue only, heraldic heiress. I have not paid for this yet so delivery date is unknown. When it is paid for and delivered, I will get it scanned and then copies printed for all the P-L descendants. __________________________________________ __________________________________________ | ||||||||||||||
