Loftus, Coatham, Whitby, Redcar, Harrogate, Yorkshire
1923
On 22 September 1923, Bertram
(aged 4) Bertram arrived in Liverpool on the Digby of the Furness Line which
had sailed from Boston, Halifax, and St John’s. He travelled with his mother
Bessie Farndale and brother Raymond William Farndale who was 9. Their address
in UK was given as Robinson’s Terrace, Loftus
in Cleveland.
His
brother, Raymond, later recalled: In 1923, there was a break
in my education, due to an extended trip to England. In July of 1923, my
mother, Bertram and I left St. John’s for Liverpool, England by steamer. Dad
stayed at home, and boarded with friends (the Moysts).
We then travelled by train to Loftus, Yorkshire where we met Grandmother
Stainthorpe and various aunts, uncles and cousins. I remember visiting my Uncle
Herbert Stainthorpe in Redcar. He has a house full of canaries! We also visited
some of the Farndale relatives in Guisborough, Northallerton, etc. In September
we moved to Redcar, so that I could enroll
in Coatham Grammar School. I adapted to
school life fairly well , although I was somewhat lonely and didn’t make many
friends. Most of the students were “boarders” whereas I was a “day student.”
After two semesters I left Coatham in
preparation for our return to Newfoundland in July of 1924. All in all the trip
was a great experience, but we were glad to be home again (Memories recorded at Raymond’s 88th birthday in 2002).

In August 1924, Bessie, Raymond
and Bertram were on the passenger list sailing from Liverpool to St John’s.
