Richard Burne was elected to the Royal Society in 1927 because of his eminence as a comparative anatomist and biologist; he died in a nursing home, at Godstone, Surrey, on the morning of 9 October 1953, being in his 86th year. He was born at 122 Gloucester Terrace, London, W.2, on 5 April 1868. His father, Richard Higgins Burne, was a successful solicitor at No. 1 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, W.C.2; his mother, Mayaretta Louisa Burne, was a distant cousin of his father. With the death of his elder brother Tom, in 1886, at the age of twenty, our Richard became an only child. All members of his ancestry were of pure English stock, being prosperous members of the professional or land-owning class. His father’s people came from Staffordshire (Loynton Hall, near Newport), while his m other’s people, for three generations, had been members of the medical profession in London. None of his forbears could claim a place in science; a niece of his father, Charlotte Sophia Burne, became the first woman President of the Folk-Lore Society. Richard’s maternal grandmother was a daughter of Dr Henry Ford, Professor of Arabic at Oxford and Principal of Magdalen Hall. Dr Ford’s wife was a niece of Dr John Butler, Bishop of Oxford, later of Hereford.

Abstract Studies show that family relationships can act as mediating agents in triggering and maintaining the symptoms of anorexia nervosa (AN), especially the mother-daughter relationship configuration, which contains unconscious elements transmitted inter-generationally. This study aimed to understand the role of intergenerational psychic transmission in the articulation of anorexic symptoms in a young woman in treatment. Three generations of women of the same family were interviewed: maternal grandmother, mother and daughter, all diagnosed with AN. Some psychic contents that could not be elaborated were identified in the reports and these were, subsequently, converted into legacies transmitted to later generations. Feelings of inhibition and shame regarding sexuality and the female body, transmitted from grandmother to mother and from mother to granddaughter, seem to have blocked the emotional development in all generations. Incorporating these findings into treatment may facilitate the processing of the transmitted unconscious contents, contributing to the reorganization of the family's psychodynamic functioning.

Charles Gabriel Seligman died from infective endocarditis in a nursing home at Oxford on 19 September 1940. He was bom in London on 24 December 1873, the only child of Hermann and Olivia ( née Mendez da Costa) Seligmann. (He dropped the last letter of his surname after 1914.) His interests in natural science became early manifest: while still at a preparatory school, he began to collect butterflies and, at the house of a boy friend, carried out chemical experiments. He then entered St Paul’s School, but the education he received there was far from congenial to him. Lonely and unhappy at home, reserved and discontented at school, he would often play truant to satisfy his growing interests in animal and plant life, spending his time collecting, dissecting and reading. His mother, an invalid, would sometimes remove him from St Paul’s to spend a term with her at a seaside resort. On these occasions he educated himself by reading widely in the local public library. When he was about sixteen years old he lost his father, and his mother died not long after. On her death an uncle, his guardian, arranged for him to be housed in a family of relatives between whom and himself unfortunately there existed little affection or sympathy. He formed friendships with far older men who encouraged him in his tastes, notably with the late F. M. Halford, an ardent amateur microscopist and the most distinguished dry-fly fisherman of his day.

Value Of Children

This article examines how the experience of childhood has changed in urban China against the backdrop of the wider political, social and economic transformations in the 20th century. Drawing on 95 life history interviews in three urban sites in China, it explores the nature, origins and impact of continuities and changes in childhood experiences across three generations. While expressive intimacy between the only-child generation and their parents increased, the three-generational comparison disputes previous theorizing about the modernization of childhood and the value of children based upon a Euro-American empirical reality. Rather than being trapped in a linear progression model, this article reveals that while the economic value of children as family helpers has dramatically reduced across three generations, the economic prospect of children as old age security goes hand in hand with the emotional value of children, which is shaped by the cultural tradition of filial piety, social welfare context and demographic structure. As a consequence, in contrast with the existing argument of an individualization of childhood in China, this article indicates that the youngest generation – the only-child generation – experienced an increasing regimentalization of childhood, exercised by their parents and driven by both neoliberal market and post-socialist state forces. This article also draws attention to the gender difference in childhood experience across three generations and reveals how the one-child policy has contributed to the increasing value of girls in urban China.

Tony Lees was a third-generation scientist and academic. His paternal grandfather, David Bridge Lees, graduated from Cambridge in classics, divinity and mathematics, but retrained for the medical profession at Guy’s Hospital before joining the staffs of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and later, St Mary’s. Here he carried out research into rheumatism, pneumonia and tuberculosis. His youngest son, Alan Henry Lees, who became Tony’s father, also went up to Cambridge to read Zoology and Botany. After graduation he joined the advisory service of the Ministry of Agriculture in the Vale of Evesham. In 1912 he was appointed plant pathologist at the newly founded Long Ashton Research Station near Bristol, where he conducted research into the control of the ‘big bud’ mite affecting blackcurrants, and later on apple and pear cultivation. Tony’s mother, Mary Hughes Bomford, came from a large farming family near Evesham. After marriage, the couple settled in Long Ashton where their only child, Tony, was born. His mother died prematurely when Tony was only eight years old.

Home Placement

The goal of this study was to examine three generations of Arab Muslims in Israel, to investigate the relationships between their attitudes regarding the placement of an older relative in a nursing home, intergenerational solidarity, and to ultimately proceed with the nursing home placement. The backdrop to this examination was the increasing sociocultural tension between modernization tendencies and the long-established traditions and norms in the Arab Muslim society in Israel. The sample included a total of 126 university students, as well as one parent and one grandparent of each student. All participants completed identical questionnaires examining the attitudes towards the nursing home placement of an elder relative. The findings of the study indicate a strong objection among the youngest generation, whose attitudes were more similar to those of their grandparents than to those of their parents. Psychosocial mechanisms in the Arab Muslim population, such as intergenerational solidarity, has been the subject of increased scrutiny and debate over recent years, given the intensive pace of modern developments, which has called into question the familiar norms, thus constituting a threat to the tradition that has guided the population throughout numerous centuries and generations.

Charles Kemball was born in Edinburgh on 27 March 1923, the only child of Charles Henry and Janet Kemball. His father was a dental surgeon and latterly a part–time senior lecturer in dental anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. The Kemballs were associated with the farming community in the county of Suffolk, his grandfather, Charles Kemball, being a farmer, maltster, brewer and undertaker in Boxford. Charles's father was first apprenticed in 1905 to a dentist in Ipswich, but moved to Edinburgh to complete his dental studies; there he spent the rest of his life, except for a year in Philadelphia, and was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1936. Charles's mother, Janet (née White) was a Scot born in the west of Scotland.

Set Up

Edward Charles Dodds, Baronet, for nearly 50 years one of the foremost medical biochemists of his day, becoming a President of the Royal College of Physicians, a Vice-President of the Royal Society and a Master of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London, was born in Liverpool on 13 October 1899. He was the only child of Ralph Edward Dodds and Jane Dodds ( née Pack), who both had close connections going back over many years with Darlington, to which town Charles Dodds (the name by which he was always known) moved with his parents while he was still very young. At that time his father was in the retail footwear business. The family fortunes seem to have fluctuated considerably, and his father’s place of business to have changed more than once. Unfortunately Charles left no autobiographical notes and I am indebted to his son Ralph and his cousins the Misses Elinor Doris and Mabel Varley, who are artists now living at Malvern Wells. Charles had an aunt, Mrs Richmond, his father’s sister, who also lived in Darlington and whom they frequently visited even after the family had left for London. It was through Mrs Richmond that Charles met his future wife Constance Elizabeth Jordan, daughter of Mr J. T. and Mrs Katherine Jordan who were close neighbours and friends of Mrs Richmond. The Jordan family were well known business people in Darlington where they owned considerable property. Like Charles, Constance was an only child. They were married in 1923 and set up their first home in a flat in Maida Vale, London.

The Family

Alan Robertson was born on 21 February 1920 at a nursing home in Preston, although his parents lived in Liverpool. His father, John Mouat Robertson, was in the Signals Branch of the Post Office. He was a self-taught linguist of exceptional ability and subsequently served as an interpreter in the War Office. He was also good in a wide range of sports. Alan’s mother, Annie Grace, came from a farming family and was one of six children, but the only one who married. Her eldest brother, John Hilton Grace, was a mathematician; he was second wrangler at Cambridge in 1895, where he spent most of the rest of his life, and was elected to the Royal Society in 1908. He was, however, of intemperate habits (Todd 1958) and was apparently cut off from the family, so Alan did not know him during his own time in Cambridge. It is of note that Alan had mathematical, linguistic and sporting talents. Alan was the second child, but his elder sister had died of tuberculosis before he was born. His mother died a few days after his birth, so he was brought up by his aunt, Bessie Grace, on the family farm at Halewood, near Liverpool. The farm was run by his uncle, Willie Grace, who was considered a very enterprising individual and a pioneer in stock husbandry.
