2583 Before marrying James, Ann had a child out of wedlock, in 1848 and was taken before the Church Session where she confessed "that she had brought forth a male child in fornication the father of whom is Thomas Whyte junior, baker residing in Bathgate and that he has acknowledged the paternity. The session having been previously acquainted with these facts took her upon discipline she was accordingly solemnly exhorted and rebuked and absolved and restored to Church privileges".
Church of Scotland Old Parish Records

Despite this Ann does not seem to have learnt her lesson.
James and Ann's first child, Peter was born 4 months after they married. On 9 May 1852 Ann again had to front the Church Session at the manse, this time along with her husband James.
Present was the Rev. William Branks, Moderator and Messres Calder and Sleay, Elders.
"James and Ann Dale confessing that they had been guilty of ante-niutial fornication. They were solemnly rebuked and absolved of the scandal of said sin and Ann Dale was restored to the privileges of the Church with prayer. (Signed) William Branks, Moderator."
Church of Scotland Old Parish Records

What is strange about this that Ann had her privileges restored but not James.

James was the informant on the death of his mother-in-law, Margaret Kay, in 1870.

Second of Apr 1871 saw him as farm manager of Torphichen Mains, a 40 acre farm containing a house and byre. The farm was owned by the heirs of Margaret Dale, his wfe's mother

Graham Marshall reports "James purchased a dwelling house on the south side of the Close in Torphichen Village on the 26 Feb 1873 from his wife's nephew, William Dale who had moved to Glasgow. The property included a 1/4 part of the Fala Moss and the piece of ground , part of the Loch of Torphichen which by then had been dried out to form a yard on the south and west side of the house. Its location was described as 'bounded on the east by the highway; tenement of Houses and Yeard (sic) thereto belonging on the south part of the easter half of a pece of ground called the Loch of Torphichen betwixt the Mains Yeards on the north, the Loch Yeard on the south and the Beanyard on the west'. It looks likely that this was merely James buying out his wife's relations from their share of his mother-in-law's property."

James was the informant on the death of his duaghter, margaret, in 1877.

Death Notes: James' death was reported by his neighbour, William Taylor McRain of Millburn Cottage suggesting there was no family member available to inform the registrar and certainly his wife and children were dead and his siblings scattered. His sister Marion and family to Bathgate over fifty years before; Jane and brother Robert to New Zealand around the same time; Robert to Edinburgh where he had married sixty years before; Mary Ann and family had moved about but were back in Fauldhouse before she died a few years before James; similarly Peter had died in Armadale only six years before and John in Torphichen a few before that. One have might have expect several nieces and nephews in or fairly near the village but perhaps his neighbour knew him best.

Davenport, Arthur Nigel (I11828)
 
2585 Being an epilectic when he was young did not stop him from joining the Merchant Navy.
During the war he served on convoys to Russia, mainly on tankers, the most dangerous ships of all. He served in many different capacities, Cook, Carpenter, Seaman, anything to get a berth.
Two seperate occasions he was on ships that were torpedoed and sunk.
On the second sinking it was feared that he and all his shipmates were lost at sea.
Sinclairina, his sister. saw a newsreel of "torpedoed Canadian seamen" being unloaded at Nova Scotia. She was sure she saw Jim amongst the survivors. This was the first the family knew of Jim still being alive.
This was the one and only time Jim ever went to jail. Celebrating his good fortune, he had got drunk, broken the curfew and was arrested.
After the war Jim worked on various large house estates, as a Chauffeur/ Handyman and Bessie worked as the Cook or Housekeeper.
Later Jim joined Smith Crisps and became factory shift-foreman.When the firm decided to close down the factory, Jim and other employees bought the firm. Jim was the first employee shareholder of the new firm.
Jim had not enjoyed very good health since his war-time ship sinkings. Despite this Jim cared for Bessie's every need, even to the extent of carrying her and Bessie was a big lady.
On November 1 1995 he was attending a birthday party for one of his grandchildren when he had a heart attack. Taken to St John's Hospital at Broxburn where he died.

On the 25th November 1944, New Cross High Street was busy with South Londoners. Woolworth's on the corner of Goodwood Road, and the adjacent Co-op were packed with shoppers. One report mentions that a sought-after supply of
saucepans had become available and many were queuing outside Woolworth's in the hope of being able to purchase one. At 12.26 PM, there was an enormous explosion as a V2 Rocket impacted into the Woolworth's store.
Contemporary reports from a number of witnesses indicate that the V2 had been seen in its last moments of flight, a line drawn across the grey November sky.
The store bulged outwards and then imploded and in the carnage 168 people were killed and 121 were seriously injured. It was the 251'st Rocket to be successfully launched. This was the worst tragedy in the entire V weapon campaign and one of the worst civilian disasters of World War II.
As the store exploded there was blinding flash of light and an enormous roar followed by a dense cloud of smoke and powdered dust. Witnesses several hundred yards away felt the warm blast on their faces, some were physically pushed backward by its force. The Co-Op Store next door also collapsed killing more people inside. The bodies of passers-by were flung for great distances, and an army lorry was overturned and destroyed killing its occupants. A double decker bus was spun round causing yet more deaths and injuries, its occupants were seen still sitting in their seats covered in dust.
There were piles of masonry and pieces of bodies all around, where Woolworth's had been there was just an enormous gap.
The debris stretched from the Town Hall to New Cross Gate station and it was to take 3 days to clear this and to retrieve
all the bodies from the debris. Today the site has been totally re-developed but the extent of the damage area can be seen from where the new buildings commence both in the New Cross Road and in surrounding streets.
Lewisham council have erected a blue plaque on the building to commemorate the tragedy.
