This is the first post for the Paulin(e) Family Blog.  Hot on the heels of a most wonderful family reunion held in Victoria, BC in July 2019, the idea of a place where the descendants of Frederick and Mary Paulin (also known as Pauline) could bring together their stories, photographs, questions and so forth.  

I have created pages for each of the 13 children of Frederick and Mary which will eventually include all basic biographical information, and then add photos, documents and so forth as they are discovered. 

Enjoy, participate, and enjoy some more.  This is a collaborative effort so please feel free to contact me with information, questions, comments, etc.

Bellringers Pub Crawl – Norman Paulin

I have been going through my family history files, inventorying it, sorting, and of course removing the duplicates.  There are a lot of duplicates.  I found this letter my mother Sheila Paulin wrote to one of her Australian cousins (Squelch family) about Norman Paulin’s adventures with his in-laws.  They were a part of the Bell-ringers at St John’s Church, Perry Barr.

“My father’s mother [Emma Jennings Paulin] was not impressed by my mother’s bell-ringing relatives.  During the engagement Dad was invited along on the bellringers outing to Dovedale.  The bus stopped at every pub on the way home, and Dad arrived home not feeling too well. His mother met him at the door to tell him she’d saved him some gruel for supper, and he was very sick and had to be put do bed.  Dad didn’t go on any more of their outings, but he always had a laugh when we passed the “Jolly Sailor” at Tamworth, which was the last stop he remembered.”

Mapping Ernest Paulin and Emma Jane Jennings

Here is the map for Ernest Paulin and his wife Emma Jennings.  It is perhaps one of the biggest lists of residences, but then Ernest moved around a lot in his life.  Economic insecurity, and other factors led him to live in Birmingham, Victoria BC, Ilford, and Leigh-on-Sea.  He died in Victoria in 1912, and the family continued to move about a fair bit before settling in Perry Barr.  I included some of the addresses Emma had as a widow on this map.

Where we lived, George Rutherford, Victoria, 1915

1839 Crescent Rd Victoria

1839 Crescent Rd, Victoria – Google Maps

According to his attestation papers, George Frederick Andrew Rutherford lived here with his wife Beatrice Friar and their two children, when he signed up for the Canadian Expeditionary Force in December 1915.  The house on the site appears to date from that period – so I think this is the same building.

George was the son of Louise Paulin and Robert Rutherford.  He moved to Canada around 1911.
