| 801 | The service was conducted at the crematorium in front of around 200 people. It was a joint faith service, with Jewish prayers and readings by Rabbi Guy Hall and Christian prayers and readings by Pastor Burnett. Psalm 23 which is used in both traditions was read. Her eulogy which follows was written by her Son David Thrale and was delivered by her other son Stacey Thrale. "Firstly we would like to thank, Rabbi Hall and Pastor Burnett, for leading today's service. We would also like to thank all the kind people who have helped both Mum and her family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. David and I would like to tell you about our mother Shirley ... Mum was born before the war in Willesden to a Jewish family. She had a younger sister Lindsay and an elder brother Rodney who died before Shirley was born. Mum could be rebellious and as a child, she once decided that she didn't like her bedroom because of a cracked window pane. Whilst her parents were out, she and Lindsay swapped furniture between the bedroom and the living room. Of course, when their parents returned home they were not at all happy so they had to change it back again. Shirley soon met our father Ken not far from here in a Golders Green dance hall. Soon after they first met Mum saw Dad from her bus, so she jumped off and deliberately bumped into him pretending it was an accidental meeting but Dad never knew! Mum and Dad were well suited as they both liked Jazz clubs, dancing and smart clothes. They often spent many a romantic evening at the pictures, with Mum's 11-year-old sister Lindsay in tow who always insisted on sitting in the middle. When her parents decided to move to Dunstable Mum rebelled and set-up a flat with her friend Denise when she was 17. She travelled every weekend back to Dunstable, to enjoy the luxuries of their bath. Her kind-hearted parents would both give her money, saying, "take this, don't tell your Dad", and "take this, don't tell your Mum". Ken & Shirley married in 1959, a little while after she started working for the Bank of India and then Handley Page where she was secretary to Sir Handley Page himself. Mum gave up work after we were born, Once my brother and I had both reached school age, mum started work again but only part-time so that she could spend as much time with us as possible. For a short while Dad was out of work. Mum was very strong and made many sacrifices to steer our family through these difficult times. When the rent man called we remember hiding behind the sofa with Mum pretending to be out. Mum was school secretary at Princess Frederica Primary School and later at Chalkhill Primary School. This allowed her to be at home with us during the school holidays. We have many happy memories, of all day, swimming at Kingsbury open-air pool, Willesden Swimming pool, Butlins at Bognor Regis, holidays in Uncle Brian's drafty flat in Hove & Sunday afternoon trips to buy ice cream from our favourite shop in Childs Hill. Whilst at Chalkhill School Mum gave the headmaster Kenneth Rudge - a budding author - the idea for one of his children's books, a story about a teenager going to a big open-air music festival, just like the famous Reading Music Festival that Mum used to help to organise. For years Mum worked at the celebrated Marquee club, London's version of the Cavern. When she started there it was a Soho Jazz club. As time changed this small venue became a rock club. Almost all the major bands played there, Thin Lizzy, The Who, Genesis, The Jam & many more. Mum also saw the birth of Punk, and later the likes of Tom Robinson and Adam Ant. When we were younger Mum took us to see our favourite band - Slade at the Marquee. Mum even got us into their dressing room. Our young impressionable minds were horrified as Mum took us down Wardour Street, taking time to say hello to the strip club's bouncers. Just like at home in Kingsbury, it seemed like everyone in Soho knew her. That was Mum, she liked good food, music and going out, but most of all she LOVED people. We often thought that our family was lucky to have so many good friends. It wasn't luck it was because of Mum. People saw her special kindness, friendship, good humour and her special zest for life. Mum would find time to talk to people. She put people at ease and let them know that they were important to her. We remember her many good deeds like putting up a friend of mine whose house had been damaged in a fire. Mum and Dad often told us "You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends". When we were older, Mum returned to full-time work as a Personal Assistant to Brent's Director of Housing. She eventually went on to become a Principal Homeless Persons Officer. This brought out the best in Mum, so many different people to mix with. Shirley and Ken had a long and happy marriage and made many close friends. We remember countless long and happy dinner parties held at our home. As they grew older together they enjoyed many happy foreign holidays. Sadly their marriage was cut short by Dad's sudden death in 1987, five weeks before their 28th Anniversary. In time Mum met Anton, whilst visiting a good friend in Jamaica. They were married in 1991, and have been together ever since. Mum had a few happy years of retirement living an easy & relaxed life in the Caribbean. Mum lived in Jamaica with Anton for about five years. She made many more good friends there. Mum dearly loved Anton She was also devoted to Anton's son, Shane and brought him up as her own. Despite the pain she suffered every day, she continued to look after Shane and helped him to settle into his new school. We can clearly see all the good things that she taught us, in Shane. Shane will miss her terribly. In her last days, David had the pleasure of telling Mum that Michelle is pregnant. Mum was delighted to hear that her third grandchild was on the way and told everyone that visited her. David's good friend Lee then told her about his forthcoming marriage. Quick as a flash Mum quipped "About bloody time!" Even in her last few days, she made friends with nurses and cleaners at the hospital, and told everyone that she was determined to "make this a short stay". We are all richer for having known Shirley. She has shown so many people that life isn't about money or things, or who you are. It is about family, people, friendship, and love. Shirley's epitaph is not in the words that I am now reading or those that will be placed on her plaque but is written in the hearts of the many many people who experienced her love, kindness and humour. I leave you with the words that Shirley used after both her sons were married-off. These words are as appropriate now as they were then ... "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last." | Block, Shirley Helen (I370)

| 804 | The Thrall Genealogy 1605-1965 by Stephen D Thrall says ... "Lt. WILLIAM THIULL was apparently a rather colorful character and popular as a young man, as he was elected Lt. of the Trained Band, and later elected Captain of Windsor Trained Band, but not approved by Legislature. He was in debit, and jailed for it in a neighboring town. Members of the Trained Band released him from jail. Everyone heard of the escapade and Legislature felt that a person with so much military pwoer should not disregard law so freely. Evidently he was not a good financier. He borrowed from one to pay another until the old court record would make it appear he was a daily visitor. His death at the age of 38 was inexplicable, as most Thrall's are long-lived. No knowledge of how or where he died. He was in great financial trouble at the time. His will was not settled for several years, as there was a suspician that perhaps he was not dead but had gone to some other part of the country." and "In July, 1737, Lt. William Thrall made & proposal to build a bridge 'across the Rivulet at the ferry' and & committee was chosen to consider the matter. The Lieutenant was somewhat ahead of his more conservative neighbors, as we find no further mention of a bridge until April, 1745 (Lt. Wn. Thrall died in 1738 at the age of 38) at which time a town meeting was warned to consider 'about the Rivulet ferry' and 'about a bridge there.' The latter was again negatived. In April, 1748, however, the subject again came before the town meeting and it was then agreed that any person or persons might have liberty to build a bridge, provided they did so at their own expense and made it a free bridge, forever. Said persons were to leave their names with the Town Clerk within one year from date. In December following, Peletiah Allyn, Daniel Bissell, Isaac Burr, and sundry others, announced to the Town Clerk their intention of -accepting this extremely liberal offer. Accordingly, in 1749 they erected a good cart bridge, the first ever erected across the Tunxis, and made it free. In 1759 it needed repairs or rebuilding, but the town voted "not to build or repair." Whereupon (December 1759) the original builders of the bridge petitioned the Assembly that they 'would order the Town of Windsor to rebuild or make such repairs as were necessary.' The Assembly did so order (May 1760) but the refactory and illiberal town merely contented themselves with making a few slight and temporary repairs, and thus the matter rested until 1762, when the necessity of a good, new and substantial bridge became too imperious to be any longer evaded. In 1762 they finally received permission from the Assembly at Hartford to run a lottery to pay for the bridge, which they did, in October 1762. Unfortunately, five years later, a flood washed the bridge away, so that it had to be rebuilt." | Thrall, William (I872)

|
| 817 | They had 9 children two of whom died within weeks of their birth. Sometime between 1830 and 1840 this family moved to Ohio.

|
| 818 | They had at least five children, Mary Ann, Harry, George, Sarah and Walter but there may have been another Harry who died at the age of 1 year and 10 months as Jenny Johnson has in her possession an "In Memorium" card for Harry Dymore that was with the cards of Emma and John Nicholas. No years are given but the baby, Harry Dymore, was born on the 2nd of May, died on the 13th of March and was buried on the 18th of March in grave number 3197 (though no cemetery name is given). This cannot have been the "second" Harry as he went on to become a Captain and Quarter Master in the 8th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment. Emma died in childbirth, according to Vera Ranger (McMillan) (May, 2000). The baby lived for one month. A long time after Emma died a woman from America contacted Mary Ann, Emma's daughter, in Australia, and claimed to be her sister. This has never been proved and one wonders whether she was a full sister or a half sister? | Thrale, Emma (I978)

| 834 | Thrall genealogy 1605-1965 by Stephen D Thrall give her birth date as 14 May 1699, this makes her marriage date 9 years before she was born and her eldest daughter was born 9 years before her birth. This birth date is almost certainly incorrect. | Palmer, Mary (I850)

| 838 | Two of John Thrall's sons died in infancy, but of the four sons who lived and had families of their own, all four took an active part in the revolutionary war. The farm was in the Turkey Hills section of Windsor, Conn, (Now East Granby). John Thrall's II gravestone is still standing and in very good condition. It is a red stone, possibly sandstone, about four and a half feet high and about two and a half feet wide. It is one of the few gravestones in the East Granby cemetery bearing a seventeenth century date, as it shows his birth, as Oct. 13, 1699. He died at sixty-three years of age. His wife outlived him by seven years. She was seventy when she died. Walter G Thralls 1862 Genealogy book says "They had eight children: John 3d., Mary, Aaron, Lucy, Samuel, Mindwell, Ezekiel and Benjamin." | Thrall, John II (I213)
