 Enviar a email | Jack - John Ernest Lamin 1870 - 1945 en General |  Por Pte Harry Lamin
el 11-May-2010 | 
Harry?s brother Jack was born in 1870 to Henry Lamin. He was 17 years older than Harry. In 1891 he is an assistant schoolmaster, living in Awsworth. We can only assume that he was teaching at the same village school that he attended as a child.
One of the photographs I have looks about right for a young schoolmaster in his early twenties.
 I have quite a few photographs of Jack as his career progressed, but know little about what happened to him.
By the 1901 census he was an ?elementary schoolmaster? (Not an assistant) living in Oxford with young Harry staying with him. Oxford is mentioned in quite a few of Harry?s letters so Harry must have stayed there for a while.
In 1917 John was a curate, a novice clergyman, living in Newland, Hull Yorkshire.
I think that he spent quite a time in Hull and was, at some time, based at York Minster where he eventually became a canon (an honourary title in the Anglican Church, given to senior, well respected members of the clergy). I have discovered that the Canons attached to a Cathedral or Minster (as York) are allocated a pew ? a seat in the church ? that is for their use whenever they attend a service. Maybe that is where the family story of him having a plaque came from.
  Despite all the photographs, I have little information about the progress of Jack?s career with the church. He spent some time in a Parish called Dalton and another Newton but I can?t be sure which of the many places with those names they were.
I know that he retired with Agnes to Rugely. He had married her in late 1917, aged 47. It was the same Rugeley where Harry did his basic training before the Flanders battlefields.
Willie knew John quite well and always referred to him in a respectful manner. Jack officiated at Willie, my father?s wedding, in 1941. He died in 1945 aged 75.
The ?Bill? referred to in Jack?s letter to Kate, is Willie. I don?t know if he made the visit.
The Vicarage, Brereton,  RugeleyStaffs 27th Feb 1944
Dear Kate
 We made a mistake over the date of my birthday ? we made it the 24th instead of 25th. Your pork pie came on the right day and we are enjoying it very much. We are expecting Bill on next Sunday. I hope we shall have better weather than it is (to)day for it has been snowing very heavily all day!
I see they have got a new vicar at last at Newton ? when are you thinking of coming to see us? The Curry?s ?.. ?? We are both very well just now and we both send our best love. Yours affectionately
J.E. Lamin
I can't really give a better picture of John Ernest Lamin. I have no access to anyone who knew him apart from Willie and I'm afraid his memory gives us no help.
I'm really grateful that Jack kept Harry's letters safe so that they could be handed on to Ethel. Followers of the blog owe much to him and to Kate.
Photographs and images (Click to enlarge)
There are no dates with any of the pictures so the reader can make their own judgement. The only exception is the last photograph, taken at Willie's wedding to my mother, Nancy Satterthwaite, in 1941.
The next post - Willie
