Forum 2014: Idea Factory: A new Age: Ageing is a major social, economic, political and development issue for the 21st century. Today, there are over 900 million people in the world over the age of 60. By 2050, that number will have grown to 2.4 billion, and a very large proportion of the world’s population over 60 will be living in developing countries. Inequality in income, wealth, and health may result in growing numbers of older people finding themselves in poverty. Many countries are building contributory pension systems, while large numbers of unemployed young people cannot contribute and will be at risk of poverty when they age.

These are my parents! I'm doing a project where I scoured through some old photographs of my family and found these fantastic photos of my parents.
From the parents' meet today, my son and I got our first glimpse of what is in store for him this year and the hard decision we have to jointly make in charting his future direction.
Children at the age of 3 – 5 have the wonder time. These years are normally associated with the #tantrums that shift into #cuddling, playing into whining, and the display of belief in fairy tales shifting into the intellectual discussions which make the adults wondering where did it come from.
Preschoolers are exceptional learners because preschool years are associated with exploring and learning new things. No wonder #preschoolers are often found pushing the limits in order to find out the logic behind everything. The preschoolers also learn a lot about the social skills as they make new friends and learn about interaction.
So, there are a few things that your preschooler may need when it comes to parenting.
Ensure that everything is structured
The first thing you will need to ensure is that your preschooler has got the regular routine to follow. For kids, the world is usually a #chaotic place which is quite unsafe for them. So, you need to make the household environment a little predictable with a bigger element of fun in it for them. Their meal and bedtime routines should be structured. But remember, it’s not about #disciplining your kids. It’s about giving them the sense of safety and happiness.
Enough sleep
Since preschoolers are quite active in both #physical and #mental aspects, they need proper #relaxation to get refreshed for more exploration. So, it’s important make sure that they are having enough sleep. The best thing you can do is to make them feel cozy about an hour before they go to bed, and making them feel relaxed after they would complete their nap. Furthermore, there should be some downtime for them every day.
Letting them gain control over their food intake
You undoubtedly want to feed your kids the best foods. But if you are not letting them make their own food choices, they will probably end up hating the healthy food choices. Furthermore, preschoolers usually tend to eat several times a day. So, if you are providing them with the healthy food choices, they may ultimately pick the #fast #foods. Therefore, you have to make sure that you have variety of healthy foods available in the home for your kids. And you should also take into consideration your children’s opinion regarding which health foods they would prefer.
Help your kids with their emotions
Just because your child is not making enough tantrums doesn’t mean that he/she is not having those big feelings. Every child has big feelings and these feelings need to vent. So, you can start with providing your child with frequent opportunities to have laughter. Telling them jokes and mocking the causes which would develop big feelings in them are the good practices. You need to respect their emotions though. Furthermore, you can introduce the session of roughhousing every day.
Empathic limits
In order to make sure that your child is well within the limits while thriving for being a better person, you need to put certain limits in place. Now, this limit placement is something kids would never want. They want what they want. So, it’s natural for them to get anxious. Another reason for this anxiety is that they start fearing about your disapproval. So, it’s important that you show empathy while setting the limits. They will feel being #understood and that’s what they really need to follow the limits.
In spite of the many things to be said against it, warfare certainly has the effect of lifting the ordinary private soldier from the banalities of civilian working-class life. British men of the Second World War generation, who would otherwise have spent their lives in tedious, production-line jobs, filling in pools coupons at the weekend and taking the family to Weymouth for a week each summer, suddenly found themselves in exotic places, witnessing the extremes of human behaviour, participating in history-making events. You might say that it broadened their outlook.
I think it must have been his war service that stimulated my father's interest in foreign travel. With his low expectations of life, hostility to new ideas (it took a decade to wear down his resistance to supermarkets) and opposition to expenditure on inessentials, I don't think it would otherwise have occurred to him.
My parents had been married in 1942 but "starting a family" had been delayed until his safe return from the war. Before I "came along" in 1950 ...there had been a stillborn son before me... my parents had taken a holiday in Belgium and Holland, revisiting places and people my father had known in the war. Child-rearing kept them poor for the next 20 years.
It was not until the 1970s that my father was once more able to indulge his wonderlust. His foreign holidays became the great love of his late years. My mother admitted, behind his back, that she went merely for his sake and would really have preferred to stay at home. She had not flown until her mid-50s. For her the great thrill was the flight and, in particular, the in-flight meal. He became a great Alpinist, but this photograph was taken in Ajaccio, Corsica. The print is date-stamped July 1978.
Life does not enable us to do what we enjoy for more than a smallish amount of our time. Perhaps this is "programmed in" because we only really appreciate what is rare and fugitive. Anyway, I am glad my father had a spell at the end of his life during which he was able to enjoy what he most liked.
In loving memory of
THOMAS ARTHUR DIXON
(Lt.Colonel R.A.M.C.)
????????????????Death unto life

Peace Perfect Peace
1853 – Birth and baptism of Thomas
Based on the census, death records and the age on the headstone, the most likely birth was that of a Thomas Arthur Dixon which was registered in the Guisborough District of Yorkshire in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1853.
The baptism of a Thomas Arthur Dixon took place at Egton, Yorkshire on the 1st July 1853. His parents were Thomas Harrison and Frances Dixon.
familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N5SG-QB2
1861 Census of England and Wales
Based on the information in the 1911 census, (see below), I was then able to back-track and find an 8 year old Thomas A, born Guisborough, who was recorded at a dwelling in Church Yard, Guisborough, (either next to or part of the Hospital of Jesus). This was the household of his parents, Thomas H, (aged 36 and a M.A., Incumbent of “Wilextham” and Master of the Grammar School, originally from Fylingdale, Yorkshire), and Frances, (aged 38 and from Hull, Yorkshire). As well as Thomas their other children living with them are:-
George……..aged 9………born Guisborough
Benjamin…..aged 6……….born Guisborough
Marianne…..aged 5………born Guisborough
Frances……..aged 1………born Guisborough
Anna……aged 1 month………born Guisborough
This reaches the bottom of that particular page and I flicked over as it seemed odd they didn’t have any domestic servants. The first lines on the next page appear to be a continuation of this household, starting with an Anne M Brooks, aged 36 and unmarried, originally from Hull, who is described as the sister-in-law of the head of the household. There are then four boarders aged between 19 and 13, a nephew Benjamin Brooks, (aged 12 and from Hull), and then two live in domestic servants. These extra members of the household are said to live at the Hospital of Jesus.
1865 – Birth of Ellen
Based on the census, death records and the age on the headstone, the most likely birth was that of an Ellen Young which was registered in the Wimborne District of Dorset in the October to December quarter, (Q4), of 1865.
1871 Census of England and Wales
Having found him on the 1861 census, it then proved possible to find him on the 1871 Census. The family were now recorded at The Grammar School, Church Street, Guisborough. Father Thomas H, (46), is now shown as the Vicar of Upleatham and Master of the Grammar School. Also in the household is wife Frances, (48), and children George J, (19 – Bank Clerk), Thomas A, (18 – Student of Medicine), Benjamin, (16 – Scholar), Margaret L, (20), Mary A, (15), Frances E.M., (11), Emma, (10) plus three boarders and two live in servants.
The most likely match for his future wife is a 5 year old Ellen Young, born Hinton Martel, Dorset, who was recorded living at the Grocers Shop, Hinton Martel. This was the household of her parents Henry, (aged 36 and a Baker and Grocer from Witchampton, Dorset) and Emily Jane, (aged 31 and “past not known”). Ellen has 4 siblings – Henrietta, (8), Edward, (4), William Henry, (2) and Lizzie, (1).
1881 Census of England and Wales
I initially struggled to find Thomas on this census but then it turned out his place of birth has been mis-transcribed as “Gainsborough”, Yorkshire on at least two popular Genealogy sites. (In my experience they all tend to use the same original transcription service, so the mistake is probably also on the likes of FindMyPast and Ancestry). He was recorded living as a lodger at 8, Esplanade, Dover. Aged 28, he was employed as a Surgeon in the Army Medical Department and was unmarried.
His parents were living at The Vicarage, Upleatham, Yorkshire, where his father, Thomas Harrison Dixon, (56), is recorded as the Vicar. Along with wife Frances, (57), he has 4 of his unmarried daughters living with him – Margaret Louisa, (30), Marianne, (25), Frances Elizabeth Mary, (21) and Emma, (20). They also have one live in servant.
The Young family were still living at Hinton Martel, Dorset, although no specific address is shown. Henry is still recorded as a Baker and Grocer. He is shown as married but his wife was not home on the night of the census. He has 8 children living with him, including the 15 year old Ellen who is said to “Help in the House”. Additions to the family since the last census are Annie, (9), Bessie, (7) and Louie, (5).
1891 Census of England and Wales
No obvious match for this man.
His father, mother and unmarried sisters Marianne, (35), Frances Elizabeth Mary, (31) and Emma, (30) were still living at The Vicarage, Upleatham.
Ellen Young, aged 25 and a Professional Nurse from Hinton Martel, Dorset, was recorded living in the household of her then employer, Charles and Charlotte Smith, at 59, Abbey Road, Marylebone, London.
1901 Census of England and Wales
No obvious match for this man.
The 35 year old Ellen Young, still single, was recorded as the Matron of a Nursing Home at 24 Devonshire Street, Marylebone, London. The home has 5 resident patients, plus 2 additional nurses and 3 live in servants. Ellen is recorded as an Employer, working from home, so presumably the business belongs to her.
1901 – Promotion to Lieutenant-Colonel
A Thomas Arthur Dixon M.D. was included in a list of Majors in the Royal Army Medical Corps who were promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel, which appear in the edition of the London Gazette dated 29th March 1901. The promotion was effective 4th February.
www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/27300/page/2199/data.pdf
(On the 1901 Army List Major Thomas Arthur Dixon is listed serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps in the Punjab. His qualifications are LRCP, Edinburgh, and MRCS. He had the rank of Surgeon from the 5th February 1881, being promoted Surgeon-Major on the 5th February 1893.
digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/pageturner.cfm?id=1...
By the time of the 1904 Army List he was no longer listed as actively serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps).
1904 Marriage
The most likely marriage was that of a Thomas Arthur Dixon to an Ellen Young, which was recorded in the Marylebone District of London in the October to December quarter of 1904.
1906- - Birth of daughter Helen Theodora
The birth of a Helen Theodora Dixon was registered in the Maidstone District of Kent in the April to June quarter, (Q2), of 1906
1911 Census for England and Wales
A Thomas Arthur Dixon who was a 58 year old Retired Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps was recorded as the married head of the household at “The Lawns”, Briston, Norfolk, He was originally from Guisborough, Yorkshire. He and his wife Ellen, (aged 45 and from Hinton Martel, Dorset), have been married 6 years and have had just one child. This was the 4 year old Helen Theodora, born Maidstone, Kent. The family also have two live in servants.
1914-1918 Great War
The University of St Andrews Roll of Honour and roll of service 1914-1919 (Published 1920) records that Thomas became a M.D. in 1897. He was a Lieutenant Colonel, R.A.M.C. (Retired). He served as the President of the Travelling Medical Board in the Scottish Command.
digital.nls.uk/rolls-of-honour/pageturner.cfm?id=10057500...
However the 1910 Calendar of the Royal College of Surgeons recorded that an Arthur Thomas Dixon who was then serving in the R.A.M.C., had been a member since 1875.

Show chairman for NYSDGBA
Registered operating room nurse for Syracuse Ortho Specialists SOS
Judged the youth 4-H fitting and showmanship class @ NYS Fair
Won her first goat at 8 by writing a 300 word essay on how she would care for it.
“I remember being in the car and getting butterflies when I saw the fairgrounds exit.” First started to really talk to Tom in their early 20s, they had started to date long distance while she was in nursing school in AZ. When Tom had his accident they began to speak more and more. She came up to help take care of him after one of his surgeries to rebuild his ears. She stayed at his families house for a week after the surgery to take care of him. That was a defining moment in their relationship. After she graduated she moved to Syracuse. Her and Tom bought his parents farm, the same house she had stayed to take care of him. They still live there to this day.
“All the goats have their own personalities, some I hate and some I love. I can just look at them and tell if something is wrong.”
“Favorite thing at the fair is walking around, people watching, there is always something new to see.”
“The worst part of the fair is leaving, and saying good-buy to the whole goat barn family until next year.
