General Notes: In a CD received from Juliet [Rickards] Ross in June 2011 it included:
According to his son, Brad:
My father was capable of doing academic work but left school after grade 9 to work as a plumber. After the war he did not proceed with plumbing and went to work in a warehouse. My father was not an outgoing person and did not like meeting new people, and as a result did not feel comfortable moving up in the company as a Salesman. He remained working in the warehouse. My father was a very meticulous worker and anything he tried was always done very well be it wood-working, gardening or bridge.

AUSTRALIAN DICTIONARY OF BIOGRAPHY
CARR, STELLA GRACE MAISIE (1912-1988), botanist, was born on 26^th February 1912 at Footscray, Melbourne, eldest of six children of Victorian-born parents George Henry Fawcett, electrician, and his wife Ethel May, née Ward In her parents and grandmother's gardens, on nearby salt-marshes, and in nature study classes, Maisie developed an early love of plants. Dux of Footscray's Hyde Street State School in 1924, she attended Melbourne High School. Instead of accepting a university free place, she worked as a junior teacher in her old primary school and studied zoology and geology at night at the Austral Coaching College.
In 1932 with one of only twelve Teachers' College secondary studentships, Fawcett entered the University of Melbourne (B.Sc. 1935., M.Sc. 1936). She gained both degrees with first-class honours in botany and joined Teachers' College hockey and swimming teams. In the university's botany department she demonstrated to practical classes. With a succession of research scholarships and grants, and initially supervised by Ethel McLennan, she studied Australian coral fungi and microscopic fungal and nematode diseases of plants. She also participated in the annual field-trips of the McCoy Society for Field Investigation and Research. A severe head injury in 1940 precluded microscope work and her research grant was renewed in 1941 for ecological investigations.
Later that year Professor John Turner arranged for Fawcett's appointment as a university research officer to investigate soil erosion in the catchment of the Hume Reservoir for the Soil Conservation Board of Victoria. Living at Omeo, she monitored vegetation in two eroded areas that were fenced to exclude rabbits and stock. She covered long distances on horseback, investigated fully erosion and tested introduced grasses and fertilisers in pasture experiments. Her extensive, unpublished report documented widespread degeneration of vegetation and loss of soil due to over-grazing. She also contributed to Leonard Stretton's 1946 royal commission into forest grazing. The locals called her "Washaway Woman" and "Erosion Girl". A journalist commented on her "strong independence and noted her sturdy build and "healthy weatherbeaten appearance".
Erosion on the Bogong High Plains posed a situation threat to the Kiewa hydro-electric scheme. Appointed the SCB's first research officer, albeit temporary, in 1944, Fawcett set out to monitor the effects of grazing on the high plains. In January 1945 she selected for fencing a large area on the upper slopes of Rocky Valley that contained a range of vegetation - moss bed, snow grass, heath, scrub and woodland - and marked off reference plots of vegetation inside and outside the exclosure. The State Electricity Commission of Victoria later fenced one snow grassed area adjacent to one unfenced control acre on the edge of Pretty Valley. Each summer for a decade Turner organised a university team to record the vegetation in Fawcett's plots. She was the SCB representative, and sole woman, on the Bogong High Plains Advisory Committee which from 1946 determined the permissible number of cattle and the length of their stay each summer.
Fawcett accepted a temporary lectureship in Turner's botany department in 1949. Annoyed by the inadequacy of published floras, she organised the preparation of a botanical key, The Families and Genera of Victorian Plants (1949). She lectured on plant taxonomy and ecology to science and agriculture students, becoming senior lecturer in 1952. As the former beauty of Pretty Valley returned to its fenced acre, she and Turner documented the botanical changes in two papers (Australian Journal of Botany 1959) that provided the first published scientific evidence of the destructive effects of grazing on the vegetation and soils of Victoria's high country.
On 9^th February 1955 at Holy Trinity Church of England, Hampton, Fawcett married Denis John Carr, a fellow senior lecturer in the botany department. Their collaborative morphological and taxonomic work on eucalypts continued in Belfast (1960-67), where she was an honorary research fellow at the Queen's University, and then in Canberra, as a visiting fellow at the Australian National University. With Turner's university teams she re-surveyed the high plains plots in 1966 and 1979. She prepared a report on the region for the Victorian Land Conservation Council in 1977.
Maisie Carr was a perfectionist who loved books, art and music and had a "dry and very Australian sense of humour". Long interested in Australian history, with Denis she wrote articles for and edited Plants and Man in Australia and People and Plants in Australia (both 1961). A heavy smoker, she suffered from chronic bronchitis. She died on 9^th September 1988 in Royal Canberra Hospital and was buried with Baptist forms in Gungahlin cemetery. Professor Carr subsequently provided funds to have her accumulated ecological data published. Her scientific legacy includes ecological ideas, some confirmed only recently, and a number of Australia's oldest vegetation records, exclosures and reference plots.

A Press Cutting, dated 1951 said:
Three members of Footscray Swimming Club have been chosen to represent Victoria in the Australian Championships. They are Gwen Fawcett (High Tower Diving) and …

And, a Press Cutting of August the 26th, 2005, stated:
When it came to diving from a great height, Gwen Fawcett towered over her Australian competition in the late 40s and early 50s.
In the five years after becoming Australia's 10m diving champion in 1949, Gwen Fawcett won the title four times.
She also won silver at the 1950 Auckland Empire Games as well as five Victorian championships.
Sadly a bad day on the platform at the 1952 national championships cost her dearly. Miss Fawcett - now Mrs Hopcraft - still remembers the bittersweet day "I wasn't well and I dived poorly on the day and it cost me a place at the Helsinki Games. But my husband had said to me 'the day you lose, we'll go off and get married' so a year later we got married."
She might have missed out on Olympic glory, but the diving prowess of the Clayton mother of four and grandmother of eight hasn't been forgotten.
As a tribute to her decorated diving career, she has been nominated for a spot in next year's Commonwealth Games Queens Baton Relay.
Mrs Hopcraft said her first plunge from Brunswick's 10 metre platform was not promising. "The first time I crawled on to the tower I thought to myself that it was a very long way down and I was terrified" Mrs Hopcraft said. "But when I got my confidence up it was absolutely wonderful".
Her most enduring memory of diving is taking out her first national title in Brisbane at the 1949 championships. "It was just terrific. I was thrilled to win the first one" she said.
If chosen for the Queens Baton Relay, Mrs Hopcraft, who did not want to give her age, said she would dedicate it to her family. "I'd be very proud and my children and the grandkids would love it" she said.
(unfortunately it was decided that Gwen would not be able to participate because of her age)

221 F i. Stella Grace Maisie FAWCETT [94212] was born on 26 Feb 1912 in Footscray Melbourne VIC Australia and died on 9 Sep 1988 at age 76.

FIRST OBITUARY
11^th March 1970 - The Western Suburbs Advertiser

Bill Fawcett dies, 79 - was wonderful sportsman

The most versatile sportsman ever to emerge from this district, Mr Albert William Baird (Bill) Fawcett, died at his home in Canterbury last Wednesday, aged 79.
A man who always had a quip on his lips and a ready hand for the less fortunate, he was a man of indefatigable energy and enterprise, and one who excelled in whatever form of sport in which he participated.
Son of a Maribyrnong River boat builder, he could swim like a fish from an early age. He was renowned as a swimmer and oarsman.
In a little over six years between 1904 and 1910 he won more than 300 trophies in these two sports alone. He also excelled as an interstate boxer and as a forceful footballer in the Footscray Juniors (FFC's Second Eleven).
A born organiser, his talents were displayed as secretary of the Footscray City Rowing Club of the Footscray Swimming Club and for many years as secretary of the Victoria Amateur Swimming Association (1924 to 1941).
He was foundation president of the FFC Old Players' Association in 1948 and was re-elected to office unanimously and unopposed for the subsequent 22 years. He was mainly responsible for the continued success of the club.
The finances for both the rowing club memorial boat house and the old players' social pavilion were raised through his personal drive.
Enlisting as a youth shortly after the outbreak if war in 1914 he organised and directed the whole of the sporting activities on the troopship on which he went overseas.
He was commissioned as a Lieutenant of the 4^th Machine Gun Battalion, dubbed "The Suicide Club". One of the most highly decorated units in the first AIF in France he was led by the dashing Colonel Murray, whose fame is immortalised in the National War Museum in Canberra. Murray won more valor decorations, including the Victoria Cross, than any other Australian soldier.
The sergeant major, Jack Dwyer, later to become Speaker of the Tasmanian House of Parliament, was also a VC winner.
Serving throughout the campaigns in France with Bill Fawcett was a close friend, the late Bert Jamieson of The Advertiser, who won a Military Medal.
Mr Jamieson was Footscray Football Club president from 1939 to 1941 and president of the Footscray District Football League from 1944 to 1959.
The late Mr. Fawcett was prominent in Australian Army sports, and it is on record that he starred in two major football matches in one day - first in a Rugby team, and then an Australian Rules team.
He organised the annual Anzac Day reunions of the 4^th Machine Gun Battalion in Victoria for 45 years.
A brother, Joe, an executive officer with the Commonwealth Government was the FFC's first League treasurer 1925-1928 and another brother, Charlie, was Footscray's best known postman and a renowned philatelist.
Mr Fawcett leaves a married daughter Mrs Valerie Marriott and two granddaughters.

SECOND OBITUARY

Death of an Old Bulldog
Mr A.W.B. (Bill) Fawcett, who was president of the Footscray Football Club Old Players Association since its inception in 1948, passed away at his home last Wednesday.

Mr Fawcett, who was 79, was recognised as one of Melbourne's well-known sporting personalities. As well as being a footballer, he was an interstate boxer, swimmer and oarsman. Between 1894 and 1910 he won more than 300 trophies as a swimmer and oarsman.

Mr Fawcett was connected with the Footscray Swimming Club, and both the Footscray and Mercantile Rowing Clubs.

He took over the secretaryship of the Footscray Rowing Club in 1912 and in that year took off all but one of the club's maiden and junior events.

It is understood Mr Fawcett did not play with the Footscray senior side, but with the reserves (or Footscray Juniors as they were known) back in 1924. He was a life member and president of the Club.

Mr Fawcett was employed with the Post Master General's Department for many years until his retirement and worked his way up from a messenger boy at the age of 10 to the position of Chief Cashier when he retired.

A World War ! Veteran, Mr Fawcett served as a Major with the 4^th Machine Gun Battalion.

Mr Fawcett's wife, Dorothy (née Pont) predeceased him 10 years ago and since then he lived with his married daughter Valerie (Mrs Marriott) at 47 Wentworth Avenue, Canterbury.

Mr Fawcett was buried with full military honors. His funeral, which took place at Springvale Crematorium after a service at Le Pines Chapel, Camberwell, was very well attended by old Footscray players and officials and other sporting identities.

General Notes: In a CD received from Juliet [Rickards] Ross in June 2011 it included:
Cecil was an Actor,
Stage name: Cecil Morgan - performed with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.
At the Time of his Death, a Newspaper Report stated:
Pantomime actor's tragic luck - Died after rehearsal. The tragedy of an actor who died just as he had obtained work was related at the inquest at Wimbledon yesterday on Cecil Rickards, 57, of Pelham Road, Wimbledon. After many months of unemployment Rickards secured a part in the Wimbledon pantomime "Robinson Crusoe". On Wednesday he attended his first rehearsal, and after being measured for his costumes collapsed and died on the way home. Arthur Smith, a porter at South Wimbledon Tube station said his attention was attracted by a train whistling in the station, and he found Rickards collapsed on a seat surrounded by passengers. Charles Rickards said his brother had been unemployed for several months. He moved to Wimbledon from Brighton with his wife on Monday. Dr James Ross, of Nelson Hospital, Merton, said death was due to heart failure. The verdict was death from natural causes.

Cecil married Ethel May FRANKLIN [94012] 4 Qtr 1935. Ethel was born in 1879 and died in 1950 at age 71.

Marriage Notes: In a CD received from Juliet [Rickards] Ross in June 2011 it included:
Ethel and Cecil were unable to marry earlier because Ethel at the age of 16, had been forced to marry Albert George N Ford in 1896 because she was pregnant with Laurence Albert Ford. But Albert "cleared off". Ethel therefore could not marry Cecil because she was legally married to Albert, until, either she was informed that he had died, or more likely, the time lapse was sufficient for the marriage to be declared legally over. Laurence {half brother to Frank and Leslie} was brought up by Ethel's parents, John and Georgina Franklin who adopted him so he became Laurence Franklin.

General Notes: In a CD received from Juliet [Rickards] Ross in June 2011 it included:
With health "below par" since birth, Arthur enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy in April 1914, and remained with them throughout the war and for next six years
In 1924:
He was a Sheriff's Officer of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, in Sydney and other country areas until 1939 when war was declared and joined Army.
In 1939:
He was a Captain in the Australian Army an Quartermaster in New South Wales.
Subsequently, He enlisted 5th August 1942 in Australian Army NX114181 (N75467) at Charlestown, NSW. With a Rank of Captain.
He was discharged from Army 21st January 1947. Then stationed at Lismore in New South Wales.
On November the 9th, 1953, Arthur wrote to his Cousin Hedley Joseph Rickards as follows:
It will probably be common knowledge that my Father, Frederick Thomas Rickards, came to Australia, for health reasons in the early 90's of last century, and was for some years employed by Australian Joint Stock or some other bank of like nature until the bank smash some years later…In or about the year 1896 he married Edith Mary Tewsley in Wilcannia on the Darling River in Western New South Wales, and shortly after, in company with his brother-in-law, Fred Tewsley, also a victim of the Bank Smash, left for the Gold Diggings in Western Australia, and on the 29th April, 1899 I was born and christened Arthur Ellors …Had I any say in the matter the name would have been plain Tom, Dick or Harry, but at that tender age I was not in a position to register a protest and so Arthur Ellors it remains to this day. Some four years later, to be precise on the 19th July, 1903, at Kalgoorlie some 20 miles north of my birth place, Coolgardie, my brother Clive Harold was born. He was the last child born to my parents and he is still living and in Sydney …Of that more later…
My father who was a brilliant man had little difficulty in mastering anything he set his mind to…He was in turn accountant, Assayer, Music Teacher and Teacher of Maths and any other subject required in the Local School if Mines wherever he happened to be on the goldfields. He was a great cove loved by his wife and adored by his kids, but looking back I realise that he had little application and most times had his head in the clouds. He had little idea of keeping a position for any length of time and was absolutely unpractical…However we battled through and now he's passed on and left nothing but fond and kindly memories…About the year 1913 he left the fields and tried his hand at Pearl Fishing. At Broome still in W.A. where large fortunes were being made by the few, he found his luck little better than on the Gold Fields. He finally left this industry by virtue of a very thorough and painful ship wreck on the shores of Portuguese Timor. From there he gravitated to Soerabaya in Java and there, except for short vacations in Australia he remained until his death in 1932.
Mother's health - never robust - was not up to the tropics so she remains with her two sons in Sydney N.S.W. to which salubrious spot we had journeyed towards the end of 1913.
Arthur also summarized his Life as follows:
Early in 1914 my health also below par since birth, looked like cracking up…On the advice of a dear old gentleman who I imagine didn't like me much, I was enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy in April 1914, in which occupation I remained through the War and for six years thereafter.
Except for a little excitement during the War years when I was serving on a coffin ship on the East Indian, China, East African and Persian Gulf stations, my years of Navy service were uneventful…The greatest fright I had in all the ten years was when we were sent out to hunt the Raider Wolf, an armed Merchantman armed with modern 5 inch guns…As our guns were obsolete 4 inch with upper dick torpedo tubes not larger than 14 inches I was always glad that we didn't meet up with her…In a week she sank five merchantmen around Ceylon and then skipped West for the African Coast and thence back to the Australian Station…There she sank two more ships…Later the Brisbane a modern 6 inch cruiser was sent after the Wolf and we saw or heard of her no more in those waters.
There is one thin that I have to thank the life at sea for…Today at fifty four I have few or any ills and can hold my own physically with men twenty years my junior…This after serving 3 years in New Guinea in the last war where I was the only officer in the Divisional H.Q. who didn't have a days sickness in the period on active service.
In 1924 I decided that there was no future in the Post War Navy, so on expiration of my 10 years paid off with no regrets and £200 in deferred pay…On shore I quickly discovered that there was not much of an opening for a Gunnery Man who could hit a picket Handkerchief at 10,000 yards with a six inch gun.
On being offered a job as a Sheriff's Officer of the Supreme Court of N.S.Wales I accepted thankfully and held this position at Head Office in Sydney and in several country areas until 1939, when War being declared I joined up in an Army unit at my then Headquarters at Tamworth.
I served with an Infantry Battalion in this State until 1943 when some Brass Hat discovered that I was 44 years old and much too ancient to hold down the post of Captain Quartermaster in N.S.Wales…I was thereon transferred to the Amenities, or as the British Army knew it the Welfare Service, and sent to a Divisional H.Q. in New Guinea…There I soldiered on until cessation of hostilities and from there took over the same job with the British Occupation Force in Japan…This lasted for 12 months and then, Home, Leave, and demob and return to the old grind.
I am now stationed and have been since the War at Lismore in the far North Eastern corner of this State…We are only 20 miles from our Port of Ballina. This place is in the centre of the Dairying and Beef Cattle region of the State with secondary industry of Pineapple and Banana Growing…In our area is the largest Meat Preserving Works and the Largest Dairy Factory in the Southern Hemisphere. The climate is to some, trying, but I love it. The summer is hot, wet and humid but only lasts three months. The rest of the year is mild and balmy. Being, as I have previously stated, only 20 miles from the sea-board we get the sea breezes and enjoy the best winter climate in the world.
My district is approximately 10,000 square miles and stretches from 50 miles south of here to the Queensland Border, West to Drake on the fringe of the Northern Tablelands and Eastwards to the sea. In that area are resident some 200,000 souls, including a few heels, the latter being my special worry.
Although it is 30 years since I last saw my Father I still remember distinctly his tales of doings of himself and his family in England. I have not seen any of the Clan over the years, as in neither war was it my good luck to serve in English War Theatre. I have been as close as Gibralter but never to England. Hope to make it before I die. The only record I have is a photo of some of the cousins who were for some years in South Africa. Uncle Harry's family I imagine. It was quite a thrill to see names in print that I had forgotten ever existed.
Well that's that and do hope I haven't bored you too much. In about four years time I go on extended leave prior to retirement. This job, although not of the type I would have picked if I had been trained for anything better, has fed and clothed me and the family over the years. It now brings me in nearly £1100 a year and promises me a retiring pension of £10 a week. By then I will have all the kids off my hands and there will be only the two of us to keep. I should own my own home by then so all in all should be quite comfortable if not affluent in our old age. Until then, soldier on, an occasional beer with old war cronies at the club, and the rest of the time happily spent in my garden. In the last three years the Department has given me an assistant so that makes things a lot easier and gives me more leisure. Until last year I was playing quite good tennis but owing to a knee injury caused by a fall have had to give that up. Thinking of taking up Bowls next year. As I'm only quarter Scotch have never taken to Golf and don't suppose I will at this stage.
The whole family have always been Swimming cranks and two or three of the kids at one time showed distinct promise. I still take an interest in the sport and train the Water Polo teams, Water Polo being the one sport that I played well although I tried the lot at different times.
In 1925 at Sydney I married Kathleen Alexandra, the daughter of Frederick William Rose, Civil Servant in the N.S.W. Government Service. She has presented me with four daughters and one son. Josephine, the eldest was born on the 26th February at Cooma in New South Wales, Clive Beresford in the same town on the 12th April 1927 and Frances Eleanor born in Singleton on 6th June 1928. Allison came along on the 17th August 1933 and Christina on the 19th September 1938.

In 1927 he obtained his "Articles" in his Brother's Law Firm, Carter & Barber.
On his Retirement as Clerk to the County Council of Somerset, was written,
Tribute on Retirement - May 1972
At sic minutes past five on Wednesday afternoon, a reign notable for the benevolence came to an end at County Hall, Taunton. On the eve of his 65^th birthday, Ernest Stanley Rickards, diminutive of stature, sharp of wit, ready as ever to see the funny side, vacated for the last time the lofty, panelled room that houses the Clerk of Somerset County Council. It's doubtful if there has been a more popular chief offer with Somerset or any other county council.
Certainly well liked by his staff, by the Council members - and by the Press for that matter - he will be missed, for courtesy, fair-mindedness, patience and good humour are not always associated with those who hold positions of power in local government.
E. S. Rickards, son of a jute merchant in the City of London who was also a member of Surrey County Council, went to a private school in Hastings and to Cambridge at the early age of 17. He had his law degree at 20 and found his way as a "temporary" into Surrey County Council's legal department.
After 15 months spent buying up land for road-works, he was made redundant! But a permanent post as assistant solicitor with the North Riding County Council soon followed.
Looking back over his career in local government, including nearly 20 years in Somerset's top post, he has no doubt he made the right choice. "It suited my temperament" he says. "I've never fancied dealing with people's problems, which I would have had to do as a solicitor in private practice".
Of course, there have been vast changes in the size and scope of the county administration since E. S. Rickards took over from Harold King. Until after the last war, the county committees had practically no delegated powers; only in the last 15 years or so have the chief officers been given authority to act on their own initiative in certain areas.
"What you want, and what we have here, is a very good senior staff that you can tell to get on with it," he says. "The chief officer can't hope to know all that's going on. For several years now I have acted more or less as a consultant. Normally speaking one knows what are the pressing problems of the moment and discusses them with the staff. You come to conclusions and sometimes there is disagreement but they are the people who are running the show and you say "All right, do it your way."
Those familiar with the working of the county authority as a part of the machinery of democratic government are not always impressed with its efficiency nor, as a debating forum, with the standards displayed there. Mr Rickards agrees that, taking a cynical view, democracy and efficiency do not work together. "You have to have a balance between the two - where it lies is a matter of opinion. I would have thought it is somewhere about right now."
Another criticism of Somerset County Council has always been the apparent disinterest and low-key involvement of a sizeable slab of its members. This has tended to result in a hard core of mostly retired military, with more time (and sometimes more ability) holding the important positions and having the loudest voices. To some observers it has given an impression almost of feudalism but this, too, has been the subject of change. Mr Rickards notes, not without approval, "the back bench people beginning to insist on having a bigger say."
The dismemberment of the administrative county, under the harsh terms of the Local Government Bill is a cause for regret, perhaps even sorrow, for whatever may be said about it, Somerset County Council bears comparison with the other counties. There is bound to be redundancy among the staff and Mr Rickards is undoubtedly glad he will not be involved in such a melancholy exercise.
He has got fun out of most things and, no doubt, will continue to in retirement at Dipford, Trull, where there is much building, repairing and painting to be done on the property he has acquired, and on a trip he and his wife are making this sinter to Australia, where their daughter is living.
There will be time, too, for his musical interests. He is president of Taunton Choral Society and plays violin in the County Orchestra, of which he was formerly secretary.

AND, on his Death,
Tribute January 1979
Somerset's Loss: A Tribute to "Rix"
A correspondent sends this appreciation of the late Mr E. S. Rickards, formerly Clerk of Somerset County Council, who died on January 15^th.
A record of Rix's distinguished service to his county has already been published briefly, but his work as Clerk to the Lieutenancy was hardly mentioned. He held this appointment for 13 years under the late Lord Hilton and for a further ten years under his successor, Col Cecil Mitford-Slade. After retiring from being Clerk to the County Council he continued with the Lieutenancy in a voluntary and honorary capacity for another five years until April 1978. Rix dealt with no less than 36 visits of Royalty during this time which entailed except in the case of a few purely private visits, producing detailed programmes with meticulous accuracy and timing on behalf of the Lord Lieutenant.
Programmes often meant several drafts and months of planning before final approval by the Palace, and Rix became well known and respected by a large number of the Royal Family's equerries, private secretaries and ladies-in-waiting. His charm and abundant sense of humour served him well in his dealings with people in all walks of life, and he never got rattled even in almost exasperating situations.
Rix was also Clerk to the Lord Lieutenant's Advisory Committee for the appointment of magistrates in which the Lord Lieutenant held the position of Custos Rotulorum or Keeper of the Rolls. This entailed confidential and often delicate negotiations and correspondence with the Lord Chancellor's office.
The reduction of petty sessional divisions from 22 to ten, local government reorganisation and liaison with the new county of Avon, all entailed a great deal of little-known extra work for which Rix was largely responsible, supported of course by a devoted staff.
All in all the little man served his Queen and country well, and Somerset is the poorer from the passing-on of a loyal servant who set an example second to none.

The Address at Len's Funeral said:
I visited Len's family just a few days ago, I found folk who were bewildered at the loss of a man who had played a massive role in their lives. You know, sometimes when I ask questions regarding a persons life or personality, the information is sparse, or has to be coaxed or prised from peoples memories. It is sometimes difficult to analyse another's life or achievements.
This was not the case with Len. Whether talking to Pat, Jill or Cary the enthusiastic response came bubbling to the surface, stimulating my emotions and leaving me wishing that I too could have been privileged to know this man.
And time after time the information was consistent; Len was the most caring, loving and intellectually vital person that they had ever known.
Pat tells me what she knows of Len's early life; he having been born the youngest of four sons on the 11^th March 1911. At the age of 16 years he had won a scholarship to Kings University where he passed his B.A. in 1931.
Len's chosen career as a solicitor was enhanced by joining his brother's firm the same year. A chance meeting on a cruise line led to him joining Nalder, Littler & Addleshaw in 1936, and a lifetime of dedicated duty to the people of Somerset.
A small part of that duty was his services to the County Court as a registrar and also his Presidency of the Somerset Law Society.
Whilst moulding his career during these early years Len found pleasure in the art of music. As a viola player in the orchestra of an operatic society he met Pat. Regular meetings inevitably led to a deeper feeling and understanding between the couple and when those feelings developed into love the couple planned their marriage at St Peter's church in 1939. Here was born a union of a man and a woman that has lasted nearly 63 years.
Len and Pat were blessed by the birth of Jill in 1941 and their family completed with the birth of Cary a year later. Jill and Cary remember the little things about family life, the large garden where they played for hours and the 6d per week allowance for sweets.
A major factor in their life was the family caravanning holidays to Croyde, Bude and Salcombe. The old series "E" Morris 8 did a stalwart job of towing the caravan. But when dad added a 11ft dinghy on top of the car it was asking a lot from providence. However, in the main it always reached its destination.
Then came the day in gale lashed seas that Len like all dedicated captains, was determined to go down with his stricken craft. The other three crew members plus the family dog were put to their stations to save the vessel. Len lashed himself to the main mast as the yacht capsized; but then fate lent a hand, as they were only in three feet of water and just a few feet away from the harbour wall. Well at least the locals had a good laugh.
Len's activities are legendary. He was extremely proficient in cricket, tennis, badminton and snooker and was a member of the Mendip Golf Club for 50 years. During that time he was made both Captain and President of the Somerset Gold Union and was made an Honourable Life Member of his club in 1985. Sport aside Len continued with activities surrounding his love of music. He also helped form the Shepton Mallet Chamber of Commerce and was active on the Hospital Committee and Alms Houses projects. Further he played an active role in the Mid-Somerset Agricultural Society.
But by far Len's main concern in life was his family and home life. He was immensely proud of the achievements of you all and often talked to Pat about how lucky they were to have such a close knit caring family.
Len and Pat are delighted that their small beginnings have been enhanced by their family. On Jill's side by the continuation of chamber music and by Cary in the art of sail. He had a brilliant legal mind, but, as in his private life, his business life was conducted with honesty and integrity.
Perhaps Len's life could be compared with the dropping of a leaf onto a still lake. The ripples that spread from the movement touched and influenced a myriad of beings.
However far back in your memory you go, it is always in some external manifestation of yourself that you come across your identity - in the work of your hands, in your family, in other people - this is what you are. This is what your consciousness has breathed and lived on and enjoyed throughout your life. Your immortality, your life in others, this will enter the future and become part of it.
We are celebrating today the life of a good man, a man of loyalty and compassion - a man of dignity and strength. But above all here was a man who has made an indelible footprint on life - and that is the best that any of us can hope for.

Leonard married Honor Patricia LUFF [94110], daughter of George Cary LUFF [94323] and Unknown, on 3 Jun 1939 in Evercreech Somerset England. Honor was born on 26 Feb 1919 in Evercreech Somerset England.

General Notes: During an Exchange of e-Mails between various Members of the Rickards and related Families in late December 2013, the following Observations were made:
by Noha Sadek,
I had the pleasure of getting to know Nick through our common interest in the Rickards family. Mine being concerned with Henry Selby, Prideaux Rickards' younger brother, who settled in Egypt where he married an Egyptian woman. One of their daughters is my great-great grandmother. An exchange over a genealogical website in 2006 led to a regular correspondence in which we exchanged information and impressions. I enjoyed receiving his missives as Nick would invariably make a remark that would make me laugh. I liked his sense of humor and I was delighted to meet him in person when he came through Paris in 2008 with photo album and genealogical chart in tow. Recently, I was admiring his ability at unearthing a whole slew of relatives. Our last exchange dates from October 15, 2012, with a promise of him sending some recently dug up information. Alas, he never got round to it. I regret very much not having had another opportunity to see Nick again and his last words "we WILL catch up one fine day!!" will forever remain unfulfilled. Noha Sadek, Egyptian cousin living in Paris.
by Patrick Grigsby,
I seem to recall, it was Noha who introduced me to Nick. His family lineage descends from Prideaux, the elder brother of my great grandfather Henry Rickards, so we were able to exchange some family relics. Interestingly, as it turned out, going back to 1950, I served my student engineering apprenticeship at Ruston & Hornsby Limited in Lincoln with several other ex public school boys, amongst them Nicks brother Jeremy Rickards who settled in Canada. I only ever met Nick once when he was visiting nearby Wolverhampton where his family had some connections with the civil engineering business, Tarmac. Beryl and I had the pleasure of having him with us for lunch. Nick was one of natures gentlemen. In the very short time I had known him, he had become a good sincere friend, alway willing to help. He was a Rickards family standard bearer for not only did he research but he also fostered his theme of "worldwide togetherness" as a result of which I have got to know cousin Barbara in New Zealand and others in Australia. Nick will be missed, God rest his soul. Grigsby, Anglo-Syrian cousin. James Wilkinson, Senior Paediatric Cardiologist, The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne,
Mine was a somewhat distant link through the fact that a branch of the Wilkinson family became good friends with PSR and his family in Brighton in the mid nineteenth century. Two Wilkinson siblings (Thomas and Marian) married two of PSR's children - Eliza and Prideaux Owen Rickards. Unfortunately I do not have contact with any descendants of these two couples - so the connection is somewhat remote. My grandfather was a first cousin of Thomas and Marian and my father a second cousin of Thomas and Eliza's son Frank, who was killed in WW1. I had a local connection with Winston Rickards, who worked at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne - but had retired before I started there 25 years ago. I have enjoyed getting news of Nick's explorations of the extended Rickards clan and hope that others will continue his efforts and keep me in the loop?
by Celia [Rickards] Ebdon,
Apologies Juliet if you've already thought of this, but I'm just attaching a couple of photos of the happy day at your house in August 2011 (the first and only time I met you all), for our more distant relatives to see: in the group Nick is 2^nd left, with his sister Anne on his right, then Juliet and sister Susan, with her brother Jonathan and me behind.
and, finally, from Field Rickards,
Thank you for keeping me in the loop. By way of introduction, Prideaux Selby was my great great grandfather. My great grandfather was Henry John Francis who moved from Hove to Melbourne. His son, Harry Selby and my grandfather had two sons, Field Grosvenor and Winston Selby. I am Field's only son and married Millie (really Jeanette). We have three children and three grandchildren. Winston married Anne (email above) and they have three children and four grandchildren. New Year's day is the sacred day for the Rickards' clan to get together, either at Somers or at Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula.
My wife Millie caught up with Nick in September 2011 when cycling in Italy with some friends. I have attached a photo which I thought that you would like. In Millie's words 'a really nice man'.
On January the 31st, 2013, Noha Sadek also stated in an e-Mail,
Nick died early January after having been diagnosed with liver & colon cancer last November. His sons brought him back to England from Italy for treatment but that it was too late. I made his acquaintance while looking for information on Henry Selby Rickards on the internet in 2006, met him once when he came through Paris the following year, and we had a regular exchange of mail since. He was such a nice man who will be missed.
