Letter from Mrs G Dolbel (sic) to Evelyn Streitberg undated but circa 1914.  The first is a cover note by Bess Peterkin and a transcription of the letter and the second a copy of the letter.  These entries are copied onto other pages of the blog as well. The square bracket insertions are by me to clarify who is speaking or the subject.

Cover note

March 16th 1974

This copy of relationships came to me [Bess] with 

a lot of odds and ends given to me by Jack [Streitberg]

within the past 10 years.  I can well 

remember it coming to Mum [Evelyn Streitberg] and the comments

about it - I must have been about 14 or 16

at this time. There was possibly a letter 

with it.  The original is very fragile about

impossible to read where it has been folded.

Note also the surname is Dolbel not Dobell.

yours Bess. [Peterkin]

"Lil Binet is the (only living) child of our 

Aunt Binet at the time of her death was

named Babot having married again and she 

our aunt was your father's and my mother's 

half sister our grandmother Allbeury having

been married three times, your father and 

my mother were full brother & sister and

there was another brother Henry Allbeury

who died at sea when quite a young man

The Allbeury's were pure English (originated in 

Kent) but on the grandmothers side were 

pure Jersey stock but 400 years previous or

thereabouts were French Huguenots.
