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, Norhallerton, 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

accountant with a fishery firm and Bertram (aged 16) who was still at school.
