The Rimmer Family History Society

I am Mischiefblue, also known as your webmaster and Editor of The Rimmer Review

I have been a member of The Rimmer Family History Society for a couple of years and for that I can thank my Dad. I'm not into Family Reseach like a lot of our members but will help when I can. My interest lies within the Committtee andmy aim is to help them keep the Website and Review running smoothly - and that's hard work

My main interests are Horse Racing, Beagles, Liverpool FC, Desk Top Publishing and Mental Health. I'm usually online from early evening up to sometime gone midnight and logged on to yahoo messenger as mischiefbluecouk, so if you want a chat that's usually where you'd find me

Please post an introduction so that we can get to know each other a bit better.

If you have a question, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Thanks,

Mischiefblue

Hello
I am Gladys, Chairman of The Society; I keep myself busy with research on Rimmers worldwide; just completed a tree which was sent to New Zealand in time for a 60th Wedding Anniversary! Got another one on the go for a christening (some time after August) and, whilst researching on behalf of a member of the North Meols FHS discovered a new family connection! Yesterday found out that somebody on the NMFHS forum is also related (he's from Canada) - you might say our forebears were prolific but this world is slowly getting very much smaller

A COMMITTE MEMBER on the message boards
May we be an inspiration to the others
Hi Gladys welcome to the new look, hope you approve.

I like it

I have just registered as a user . I was born in Southport but now live in Cumbria. But I am fascinated by the username seacoprimmer as my Granny Rimmer lived at 1 Sea Cop from 1925 to 1954. She lived in the bit that faces onto Manx Janes Lane, if I remember rightly there is another building on Fylde Road. I went back with my dad in about 1997 and the man who lived there let us have a look round. We just knew it as Sea Cop, maybe that was the name for that area right by the sea wall.

Well, you are spot on with the Sea Cop address, 2 Sea Cop was originally accessed from Lytham Road down Manx Jane's Lane! My grandfather was John (Willox) Rimmer who moved to 2 Sea Cop when he married my grandmother (Mary Alice Howard) in 1898); he had seven children and died in 1957 - so your Granny Rimmer would have been his neighbour. Was your Granny Rimmer Mary Rimmer? Incidentally the word 'Cop' comes from the Scandinavian Kop meaning bank - hence sea bank
