Emma and me, a book by Rochelle Jones - now available as an eBook on Kindle - If you like a story of mystery and the paranormal, this will be a story for you; Frances relives much of the life of a girl called Emma who lived in a past age, transported there in her dreams by what she believes to be a presence in her hotel room. Who is this girl called Emma? During her two week stay at a hotel, she relieves a life that she eventually believes to be that of Emma, Lady Hamilton - one time mistress of Lord Nelson. With each long and realistic dream more of her life is revealed, but is it real, did it really happen as in the dreams? The room Frances is staying in is called the 'Lady Hamilton Room'. A gripping book, read it now... Emma and Me
When Frances goes on holiday to recuperate from stress, she finds herself curiously drawn into a world that she believes to be that of Lady Hamilton. Frances puts it down to her exhaustion when she begins to have dreams so real that soon she begins to question what is reality and what is not. She finds herself living the life of a girl growing up in poverty in a collier village in the past, a life that seems a world away from what little she knows of Lady Hamilton. Yet after living a life that seemed to last months, and then years, she awakes barely able to remember who she really is. When reality returns to Frances she is convinced that she knows it was Lady Hamilton she saw in her dream.
This latest story from Rochelle Jones is about Frances Taylor, who is taken to a hotel in the country for much needed rest. But instead of relaxing on holiday, Frances finds her dreams are being curiously affected, in them she finds that she is living a life that is as real as her waking life. Is it really just her exhaustion that is causing her to dream the life of a girl growing up in a collier village in Flintshire? Why are reality and dream blurring together. What is the strange presence Frances can sense in her room, a room that is called The Lady Hamilton Room? Is it linked to the portrait of Lady Hamilton which hangs so prominently in pride of place in the room? Whatever it is, Frances becomes increasingly alarmed as the dreams start to become her reality.
Read the new book by Rochelle Jones and find out the meaning of these so realistic dreams. So real that Frances becomes convinced that she is being drawn into the life of Lady Hamilton as the dream reality sees her move first to London and then on to Italy. As the dreams continue through her holiday will the dreams really reveal that it is the life led by Lady Hamilton? If so, how accurate will they turn out to be to the life actually lead by Lady Hamilton, or more importantly for Frances, why is she experiencing them and can she hold onto her own identity?

Rochelle Jones says this story was adapted from a much earlier manuscript that she wrote in the 1970s but had become lost for many years. On rediscovering it years later, she decided there were many parts in the earlier script that she would not use. Now the new version little resembles the original story. At the time of writing the story last year she was thankful to have something to become occupied with because of a health scare. When she sat down to write, all else vanished from her mind, and focused only on writing the story. "It was easy to lose myself in the Victorian world, I have always felt at home there and twice before used this period in my novels"
The rewritten version of Love in Dark Places may have been changed a lot from the original version that was completed all those years ago, but essentially the same characters are used, however some have become more prominent in the story, such as Susan, who before had a much more minor role, and other characters have changed, the character Seth has become much nastier. "Contrary to my original intentions, he developed into a very sinister man indeed," Says Rochelle.
Love in Dark Places is now available in hardback over the internet, her best book yet, a must for all fans of historical fiction and tales of twists of fate and life's dramas. More details can be found in the Rochelle Books pages - If you are interested in purchasing a copy then follow the Amazon Page link here.

The Lives of the Lindsays is another very interesting history and biography made up of three volumes. First published in the 1840s this series charting the history of the name of Lindsay and its varies family branches was heralded as the new standard of genealogy and family research when t was published in the 1840s. Taking research of archives, contempory and historical documents and family archives to a new level in an effort to really understand the truth of the family origins and history.

In our earlier topic about the Antrobus family of Congleton, we mentioned Gibbs C Antrobus. He had a coach that he used abroad on diplomatic business. This coach is now on dispay at Arlington Court in Devon, this can be seen on a page from a national trust site
It is the one hundredth anniversary since the beginning of the First World War. The number of people with the Antrobus name who gave their lives serving their country during the Great War is surprisingly high for a name that is not very common. Searching the internet, the names of up to one hundred men from Antrobus families all over Britain served during the war. The great majority were from Cheshire, and as the list below shows most served in the nearby regional regiments. The Cheshire regiment, South Lancashire Regiment or the North Staffordshire regiment seem to be the most common. The names listed below are those Antrobus' from Britain who paid the ultimate price serving their country - however it is almost certainly not a definitive list of all those called Antrobus who were killed in the Great War, there will have been others from all over the commonwealth also serving king and country.
