James Dalton of Lincoln's Inn by R. N. D. Hamilton
This man has already been mentioned in several papers as a prominent lawyer of his time, the sixteenth century. In this paper, Mr. Hamilton discusses in some detail the career of James Dalton at Lincoln's Inn and his effect on the Inn as it is today. The influence of James Dalton on the City of London is also discussed. He was one of the Judges in the Sheriff's Court. He also sat for Parliament, where he concerned himself with religion, Mary Queen of Scots and the succession. He was a Puritan but never an extremist. His contemporaries would have included Roger Dalton of Yorkshire and Michael Dalton of West Wratting. He would also have known Dorothy Daltonof Fleet Street and was a contemporary of William Dalton of Witney. In an oral will, James left everything to his wife Marie and probate was granted to her in 1601. Marie died soon after him and there is no mention of any children. |

Recollections of Australia 1988 by Michael Neale
Dalton This article gives an account of the visit of the Editor to the First International Congress on Family History held in Australia in Oct 1988, which is fuller than that given in the Editorial letter of Vol. 17 part 2. Michael and Kate left Heathrow in a Boeing 747 and arrived in Sydney 21 hours later, after a short stop at Bangkok. They were met by Jill and Ralph Warren and Pat and Rai Adams and, after a short rest, preparations were made for a DGS booth at the Congress exhibition, with a large assembly of display material about the Daltons. The congress opened on Wednesday 19th Oct and lasted for four days, at the Convention Centre at Darling Harbour. The theme of the DGS stand was "Daltons down under". There were four sections;- 1) From High Holborn to Richmond Hill, 2) A living line 1230-1988 showing Mrs Thoms' double descent from Sir Rychard Dalton of Bispham, 3) The Four-Mile story, the settling of Edmund Dalton from Ireland, and 4) a final panel asking the question "Are you descended from a Dalton?" This display kept Michael busy with many enquiries and 12 new members were signed up. The Congress had 60 exhibitors and over 100 lectures. Darling Harbour is linked by monorail to the centre of Sydney. Here there was also a large social programme, including a banquet at the Sheraton Hotel and a visit to the Sydney Opera House. Michael and Kate then spent a few days at Box Hill and visited Mittagong, the home of Jill's parents. Finally, they flew back to London with stops at Singapore and Bombay. The article concludes with some photographs of the stand. |

The 1988 DGS gathering by Michael Neale Dalton
This was in Leeds at the home of Morag Simpson. There the AGM was held after a buffet lunch. Then a talk was given by Howard Dalton and Anthony Cox about their line, the Daltons of Garton-on-the-Wolds who were blacksmiths there over 200 years ago. On Sunday, a trip was made to Sleningford Hall, once owned by John Dalton and Isabella Dalton nee Wray. Edward Bryant, the owner, showed the party round. The next visit was to the church of West Tanfield St. Nicholas, which has many Dalton memorials. Lunch was at the Wyvill Arms, at Constable Burton. The party then went to Hauxwell church and saw Hauxwell Hall from a distance. The article concludes with some pictures of the Gathering and the places visited. |
