A literary genealogical narrative, based on many original records and photos of the families coupled with diligent research over fifteen years.
The discharge papers of purser Phillip Clodos Filamingo Summers have been carefully kept in a black leather folder for one hundred and fifty years. His place of birth was Jamaica. How is that connected to a Bernardo medal given to Kate Summers for good behaviour? What changes and tragedies have caused Phillip Summers to send his children, one by one, into care, and from there to Canada? The story of Beverley's second book, Kate and Ozzie, follows the Martin, Hooper, Linton, Summers, Pepper, and Puckering families as they travel from the overcrowded tenements of London, England and towns in Devon, Kent and Cornwall, to the "New World" of Upper and Lower Canada. The book recounts the journeys of the families from the 1840s up to the chance to meet Beverley's Maternal Grandparents, Kate & Ozzie. Kate & Ozzie Available at: |
