Those letters are Astonishing! Incredible! I have been researching King George III & IV …in regards to the protection their Family & Friends needed in the South…mid 1860‘s… So, very Good…Indeed, to learn of The Counts Elegant…King Connections… One forgets…sometimes British Monarchs had Family from Virginia to Louisiana & Mississippi. I study the land grants & real estate. Viscountess… I thought of you…while buying a box of Chocolates… Fannie Mae Pixies Chicago Skyline Tin ❤❤❤ P.S. A ‘ neutral’ British Royal Navy…did make an appearance of protection

I did some digging into the resignation and found that, John Montagu, 5th Earl of Sandwich, was Master of the Buckhounds from 1783 to 1806, and is probably an office which he resigned from. Then becoming Joint Postmaster General

My Grandfather took that photo! R.W. & D Downey. I was lucky enough to be invited to Windsor castle 40 years ago to view the many references that Queen Victoria made to "Messer's Downey"! They were THE society photographers of the day.

Hi Christine Do you know where your Downey ancestor came from? My great great grandfather John Downey, married a ladies maid of queen Victoria, Florence Browning John Downey was from Cashel in Ireland but educated in France.

@christinedowney 7 месяцев назад

Yes they had a photo studio originally in South Shields Newcastle. Then in London. They also took the first moving pictures of the royalty.

@nunyabiznez6381 8 месяцев назад

After the robes are restored, please have the earl pose in them for photographs. Trust me, you won't regret it. Also, every one of those photographs, the larger ones, should be in frames hanging on walls to be viewed. But make sure you use glass in the frames that protect against UV light and make sure you use acid free matts with them so they don't get damaged and don't let the paper that the photos are printed on come in contact with the wood part of the frame. Also scan everything because sometimes old photos printed on paper will eventually fade even if you don't expose them to light. As for the copper pot, what a magnificent find, that coming from a sous chef. This is the sort of pot that modern makers of cookware attempt to mimic but never quite get right. FYI, the normal way to store such pots in a kitchen was to hang them from above over or near where you do the cooking. My suggestion is a large cast iron or wrought iron bracket with hook mounted on the wall near where you do your cooking to hang the pot from for everyone to see it, gleaming copper and all. I also don't advise actually cooking in it because the metals used (that looks 19th century) often contained heavy metals, usually lead. I have a one quart copper clad pot from about 1880 that my great, great, great grandmother cooked with in her boarding house in New Bedford, her cooking was locally famous though I value her recipe file more.

@Brayan3051 8 месяцев назад

I would love to see the robes and coronates to be display in a manikin or a display case because they are so beautiful and full of history

@barbaraknuth8095 8 месяцев назад

I’m pretty sure the weight of them hanging would not be good for the fabric. They are just too fragile.

@Brayan3051 8 месяцев назад

I agree, but im sure they can get some support for it similar to a museum. Im sure a conservator can help. Regardless its a beautiful piece no matter what they do with it im happy they can get it restore and preserve

@happygrandma5637 8 месяцев назад

Glad I scrolled down as this is exactly what I was going to say. A manikin in a display case, so that dust etc can't get into it. Would be a shame to go to all the expense and trouble and then not let them be seen. Has it ever been established just how old the robes are? Were they for Queen Elizabeth's coronation or before?

@Brayan3051 8 месяцев назад

@@happygrandma5637 Based on what I have seen in other videos the robes were for Queen Elizabeth Coronation. How old are they exactly im not so sure. I believe they have another video in the channel of when they discovered it in a chest.

I admire Julie so much for what she has done to preserve the muniment room's contents. I have only 50 years of my own research into my genealogy/family records, and I despair of ever getting them properly sorted. Well done, Julie!

@loverizzato9081 8 месяцев назад

What amazing finds! My mother was heavy into the genealogy of our family and found in the archives a lost g-g-g-g aunt. Lost as in some cemetery somewhere. It took her 3 years to get copies of enough legal documents, maps of all the local cemeteries and after hundreds of hours of searching she found her. In 1 of 6 unmarked graves, in a small overgrown corner of a small cemetery, next to an oak tree. She contacted her heirs to let them know their g-g-g-g grandmother had been found so she could finally have a proper headstone.

@toddmurphy523 8 месяцев назад

Growing up in the 1960's, my siblings and I were always told by my maternal grandmother that we were related to someone famous. As kids, we never asked whom. Then in the early 2000's my mother's cousin sent out to all relatives asking for all family members birthdates, marriages, children and deaths. Fifteen years later she produced a three inch spiral bound book for all family members that dates our family tree back to the early 1500's. It found out that our "famous" ancestor was the infamous American Frontiersman, Davy Crockett. He was my 5th great uncle.

@elizabethackerman681 8 месяцев назад

Really good fun, Julie & Luke make their family's history come alive. Some wonderful textures of your life over there... from copper pots to letters from the king... "which one was that?" and tossing around "oh, the 6th Earl of Sandwich, no it was the 7th..." And then photos of the Kaiser as though they were family Christmas cards. Very delightful, and this type of home-royal discoveries is a good element of videos going forward, IMO.

I was watching Homeworthy on youtube last evening. They were in the New Orleans, Louisiana home of Quinn Peeper and Michael Harold. In one room, Quinn pointed to a portrait and said it was Vicountess Hinchingbrooke from the home of the Earl of Sandwich. Of course my ears perked up and i replayed it. He did not say her name nor which Earl. He did say he purchased the portrait at Auction. I'm curious to know if you are aware of this portrait? How fascinating that it made it's way to America! Could it be Alberta?

@nunyabiznez6381 8 месяцев назад

I inherited a letter from Washington to my ancestor. It was on the topic of Washington's slaves. My ancestor knew him personally and worked for him for a few years. My ancestor was an abolitionist and attempted to persuade Washington and Jefferson and others to give their slaves their freedom with mixed results. Washington's letter consists of several paragraphs which boil down to "I'll think about it." He signed it G. Washington. I had it authenticated. I was under the impression that Washington was annoyed with my ancestor's attempts by the tone of the letter. I'm willing it to the Smithsonian if they'll have it.

@themainer1267 8 месяцев назад

A quick google search shows King George relied on William Pitt the Younger who died January 1806. Seems like there was a power shift of some sort. William Keppel Lord of Albemarle was then appointed as the Prime Minister in 1806, "preceded by the Earl of Sandwich." Perhaps this was the resignation referred to in the letter? Amazing work being done to preserve all this history, and what an incredible job you did on the room.

Thank you for sharing all your royal treasures not to mention those ordinary household items such as that glorious copper pot. How exciting. I have been an ardent amateur genealogist and co-founder of The Eatons Family Association which was revived for perhaps the 4th or 5th time due to worldwide events which caused lapses in membership. We have been back in action for over 22 years now, following the genealogy of (including DNA lines) and historical accounts of Eytons, Eatons, Etones, etc. from 12th century England. to the tales of the 5 main Eaton families to the new world, including our Mayflower ancestor, Francis Eaton. Our family may not have been as noble as the family you married into, but I always find such stories and adventures fascnating as well as historrically educational. Thank you so much.

@matthewprovost5938 8 месяцев назад

Oooooo ! I think a tiny correction is appropriate here. If I'm not mistaken, Queen Victoria's signature at that time (and clear to see in the photograph) would be followed by "R I" for Regina Imperatrix, not simply "R" for Regina. If I'm wrong about that, please accept my apologies. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ! !

Oh, yes...and what an exceptional find to see the coronation robes. It must be difficult to display them, but seeing them up close as opposed to seeing them from afar at some ceremony. They belong in a textile or costume museum. I would think the UK would have something like that. Maybe even Madame Tussauds. That is only if you find yourself just putting them away in a box. They tell such a story to see the details.

The letter may be addressed to the 5th Earl of Sandwich. As for the resignation, I believe it may be to his position as Master of the Buckhounds. The Earl of Albemarle assumed the position of Master of the Buckhounds on February 12th, 1806.

What an absolute pleasure to watch this video. I did some genealogy in college, and started again about a year and a half ago. I usually spend every Tuesday afternoon at the geological Society, and also began volunteering. I'm currently working on organizing two years of queries and information from a lady in Oregon. I live in Oklahoma where many of her ancestors lived. As for my own, wow! There is so much information it's overwhelming. I found an ancestor who fought in the revolutionary war. His first service was as a drummer at age 9, but further service has been located Which should allow me to join the daughters of the American Revolution. Even before I knew all of this I have always felt justice at home in the UK as they do in the states. With research and confirming DNA testing I certainly know why. Thank you for the lovely story of that huge pot because I now know more of world history and additionally the story of how it was returned will be in everlasting tribute to those who served on Christmas island.

I love that you got the pot back and told the story of RAF Pasquini and his fellow veterans at the same time. Way to go Julie for sharing their story with yours and Hinchinbrook story too. Love this show and all the history you're preserving and sharing with us all. keep up the great work you're doing to preserve the family history and being creative in sharing it with visitors too.

I sometimes wonder if you miss American heating, lol. I absolutely love your videos and that you wear gloves and hats inside to keep warm.

The Tubing that the two gentlemen are using in the photo, would have been used as a hearing aid for someone hard of hearing!

When I worked for the National Trust many years ago, I found a 'Coronation Chair'. I think it was for the coronation of King-Emperor George V & Queen Mary, perhaps even before that. Apparently Chippendale-style chairs were used for guests (Earls, Lords etc) and it seems they removed them, either take home as mementos or even sell as souvenirs. I wondered if you, or your viewers, patrons, might be able to source one to complete your ‘Coronation’ display
