General Notes:
Nancy Hadwen remembers Rosemary and her sister Helen at a childrens party at Bessie Julius's (their Grandmother) home in Portland Tce Richmond.
A plaque in the belfry at Sturminster Newton records Rosemary was bellringer No 3 in a set rung 16 Feb 1974.
Edward Fenn writes: In 2003 whilst travelling in Dorset I visited St Mary Sturminster Newton and found the above plaque. Recognising that Rosemary and her sister Helen were the grandaughters of Arthur Onslow Julius, who had been missing to the wider family for many years, I walked out into the village and enquired of them. The first person I met said yes he knew the women, he had buried the elder one recently but Rosemary was in good health, living nearby in Stourton Caundle. What joy, particularly for Rosemary, now almost alone in the world to find her extended family again, a great friendship was struck up. In 2005 Rosemary, who had flown only once before, flew First Class to visit us in NZ for a month, what an adventure for her. Amongst the many things she did was fulfill a lifetime fishing desire, catching a fine trout in the famous Rotorua/Taupo fishery in New Zealand's North Island. Her family were avid fisher's. Rosemary & Helen had many interests over the years including making finely worked felt toy's which they sold in London's West End. Rosemany was custodian to much Julius history and memorabilia which have now found new homes in the family, including the historic candlesticks given by George IV to George Julius. These form a focus of this website and are an apt memorial to Rosemary and our family. E L Fenn 2011
