2401	Obituary from The Independent. 17th August 1993 Ivan Bilibin, journalist, speech writer, political adviser: born St Petersburg 26 December 1908; radio journalist, BBC Monitoring Service 1941-73; married Jean Stevenson; died Reading 9 August 1993. IVAN BILIBIN worked for more than 30 years for the BBC Radio Monitoring Service and was for over 40 years a speech writer and political adviser to the late Grand Duke Vladimir Romanov, the would-be Tsar of Russia. Bilibin was born in St Petersburg in 1908, the elder son of the prominent artist Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, a member of the Mir Ikusstva, Diaghilev's World of Art group, and an Irish mother, Mary Chambers. He was four when his parents divorced. He arrived in London with his mother and brother on a holiday in January 1917 and they became stateless emigres following the February revolution. Ivan Bilibin remembered how 'I went down to pick up a newspaper at the reception of the National Hotel, in Bedford Square, and saw the headline 'Tsar has abdicated', rushed to my room and shouted, 'Mother, Alexei is Tsar.' The young tsarevich, Alexei, was then my hero.' Bilibin was educated at St Paul's School, in west London, and at St John's College, Oxford. In 1927 he joined the Mladorossy party a movement of young scions of the Russian aristocracy, led by Alexander Kazem- bek, who wanted to unite revolutionary achievement with historic tradition. Their motto was 'Tsar and Soviets'. The chairman of the Supreme Council of the party was Grand Duke Dimitry Pavlovich who, with Prince Felix Yusupov, had been one of the two principal conspirators in the murder of Rasputin in 1916. Grand Duke Dimitry and Bilibin became friends and it was Dimitry who in 1936 introduced Bilibin to Lord Beaverbrook, who invited Bilibin to join his monitoring service at Cherkeley Court for the Daily Express, where Bilibin worked until 1938 when the station was closed. In 1941 Bilibin joined the Monitoring Sevice of the BBC as a Russian linguist, and stayed with it until 1973. There he met his wife, Jean Stevenson, who also worked at the Monitoring Service. He was on duty on 21 June 1941, when Stalin delivered his famous speech 'Brothers and sisters . . .', when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. Bilibin met Grand Duke Vladimir in 1950 and remained close to him until his death in April 1992. He became head of his chancellery and his speech writer and political adviser. From the 1960s to the 1980s he contributed to two monarchist publications, Vozrozhdenie (Renaissance), published in Paris and financed by Abram Gukasov, the Armenian oil millionaire, and the Constantian, published in Pittsburgh. 'I was a monarchist from birth,' Bilibin used often to say. Bilibin wrote Grand Duke Vladimir's 'Address to my Compatriots', which appeared in Boris Yeltsin's newspaper Russia, in Moscow, in January 1991, the first ever such 'address' to be published in the Soviet Union since the murder of the Russian Imperial family in July 1918. Twice last year Bilibin made return visits to his native St Petersburg and was deeply moved by the experience.	BILIBIN, John (Ivan Ivanovich) (I2173)

2403	Obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald - 27th December 2012 By his son Chips Mackinolty http://www.smh.com.au/comment/obituaries/honourable-man-of-the-left-20121226-2bw9g.html	MACKINOLTY, John George (I712)
2404	OBITUARY NOTICE "THE SAPPER" August 1901, Page 28 MECHT. STAFF-SERJT. T. W. MILLS, R.E. The remains of Staff-Serjt. Mills, R.E., who died at the Newcastle Hospital, after having recently returned from Jamaica, were interred at Preston Cemetery on the 29th May with full military honours. The cortège left Clifford's Fort at the Low Lights, and was one of the largest of its kind ever seen in the district. Both officers and men of the Tyne Division Submarine Miners mustered in strong force, the number reaching almost 200. Included amongst the former were Capt. Martin, R.E. (adjutant); Capt. Trescott, I.O.M.; Capt. Towers, and 2nd Lieuts. Robinson, G. Towers, and Arnison. In addition there were 17 of the deceased's comrades connected with the Tyne section of the C.B., R.E., and 13 of the R.E. from Tynemouth Castle. The coffin, covered with the Union Jack and bearing the deceased's accoutrements, was placed upon a gun carriage (lent by the T.V.A.), attached to which were the horses. There was a large number of floral tributes sent by friends and comrades of the deceased soldier, including the officers, serjeants, and rank and file of the Tyne Division, and the married ladies of the Fort. Prior to the departure of the cortège hymns were impressively sung in the yard, after which the procession started, the band, under the leadership of Bandmaster Patterson, playing the Dead March in Saul. Thousands of persons lined the route, and at the cemetery another large crowd had collected to witness the arrival. The coffin was lifted by Q.M.S. Lee, C.S.M. Drake, Serjts. Colbeck and Northeast, who acted as pallbearers, and the funeral service was conducted by the Rev. David Tasker, pastor of the Howard Street Presbyterian Church. Between the firing of the volleys over the grave and the sounding of the "last post" those assembled round the place of interment sang a hymn, and afterwards the men were re-formed in processional order, and marched back to their headquarters. The proceedings throughout were most solemn and impressive. C.L.	Source (DOC000004)

2416	Old Drift Cemetery This cemetery is now almost the only surviving trace of the first European settlement of Livingstone. It is about one and a half kilometres upstream of the entrance to the Mosi-Oa-Tunya Zoological Park. The presence of an urban settlement in this area owed to two major factors: the line of the main entry-route from the south into the then North-Western Rhodesia, and the proximity of the Victoria Falls. Prior to the construction of the railway all goods imported into Northwestern Rhodesia were carried by ox - or mule-drawn wagons and ferries across the Zambezi at the point, some nine kilometres upstream of the Victoria Falls, where the river is at its narrowest for some distance. The northern end of this crossing, known as the Old Drift or Sekuti's Drift, (after the Toka chief whose village was then nearby), soon became the first European settlers' town... The first settler, F.J.Clarke, arrived in 1898 and set himself up as a trader, hotel-keeper and forwarding agent. By 1903 the European population had grown to sixty-eight, including seventeen women and six children. The British South Africa company established an administrative post nearby. In most years some twenty percent of the settlers died and in 1903 the figure was considerably higher. Many of these early settlers were buried [here] The railway from Bulawayo reached the south bank of the Zambezi at the Victoria Falls in April, 1904 and ... the bridge was officially opened in September 1903. As soon as work began on the bridge it was apparent that, with the completion of the railway, the Old Drift would fall into disuse and that the only argument for retaining the Livingstone settlement in that unhealthy spot would fall away.

2418	On 11/12 April 1918 near Vieux Berquin, France, four times Lieutenant Colonel Forbes-Robertson saved the line from breaking and averted a most serious situation. On one occasion, having made a reconnaissance on horseback in full view of the enemy under heavy fire, he led a counter-attack which was completely successful in establishing our line. When his horse was shot under him he continued on foot, steadying the men and inspiring confidence by his disregard for personal danger. On the second day he lost another horse and again continued on foot until he had established a line to which his own troops could withdraw. He was awarded the V.C and Gazetted 22nd May 1918 Later achieved rank of Brigadier General	FORBES-ROBERTSON, James (I000395)
2419	On 21 May 1940, HMS Keith was one of three destroyers that evacuated 468 civilians from France. Two days later the ship was in Boulogne-sur-Mer, loading British troops to be evacuated, when she was attacked by German troops. She was hit by a mortar bomb and machine gun fire that killed her captain and wounded many others. Keith sailed for the UK immediately afterwards.[9]	RUSHTON, Harry (I000087)

2426	Original beliefs. Superceded by subsequent research. He was thought (by William George Mills) to have been a Colonel in the R.E and based at the R.E School, Chatham. From the only known photograph that we had, he appeared to be fairly close in age to his brother Thomas William. Now that we have more pictures of James Jesse it is clear that the photograph was not of him but of his eldest brother Edward Mills. It turned out that he was 4 years younger and eventually became a Colonel in the R.A.O.C Ann Mills recalls that JJ's family were with him during his overseas postings. In France they lived in a chateaux and Vivian (George) was attacked by an alsatian. Vivian was sent home from Malta with another Army child to a school in Shropshire. Most of their leave was taken in Ireland with Maud's family. Ann recalls going to a big house in Cashel called Longfield which had been the home of Charles Bianconi (an Italian emigre who was responsible for the beginnings of public transport in Ireland). She describes Bianconi as being Vivian's Uncle. John Bianconi was originally an O'Connell but had his name changed on the wishes of his Grandfather Charles Bianconi. Whilst JJ was a competent horse rider (he played polo whilst in Gibraltar), Maud was very good, riding side saddle, hunting etc. She was also a keen tennis player.

2439	Part of a posting on the Ancestry message boards dated 22nd Feb 2005:- "The family story has it that she was working in a big house as a domestic servant when the next door neighbour who was a major in the army was visited by William Barr, a mere private, and after delivering the message was sent to the kitchen for a cuppa. There he met Ada from next door. They married soon after. Romantic isn't it? William Barr rose to a quartermaster sergeant in the Royal Engineers and 10-years later (1902) their son John Victor Barr was born in Gillingham, Kent." Fred Wright (London) I have been unable to trace Fred and I have no clues as to his connection with Ada. CVM	WILLIAMS, Ada Harriet Louisa (I000217)

2442	Pits o' th' Moor" is a now almost-forgotten name for an area of land lying between Winton and Patricroft. The latter two places are now districts within the town of Eccles, but back in 1842, they were two separate hamlets which lay within the Registration Sub-District of Barton-upon-Irwell. The area in question was part of a triangle of land bounded by the roads known to-day as Worsley Road, New Lane and Liverpool Road. By the end of the 19th century, this area was fully developed with terraced housing and two or three small factories, but in 1842 it was still mostly open farmland. The first 1848 Ordnance Survey map of the area clearly shows it as labelled "Pits o' th' Moor". The "pits" in question were almost certainly old marl pits, which had filled with water, and are shown on the map as ponds.	MILLS, Emma (I000410)
