Fitzpatricks and Sennetts (September 2008)

This post was written in the week in which Aunty Madge Sennett died, in September 2008. May she rest in peace. I'm sure you'll join me by wishing her family well.
My biggest memory of her from when I was a kid - she loved to wash dishes!


I was going to post the image below because it's a lovely picture of my Gran & her older brother, at a family gathering. But of course, it's also a nice picture of their Mum, Madge. (It goes, Left to Right; Ivy, Madge, Sandra & Michael, Mary, Austin. The little cutie is Emma. This is at Josie's wedding to Dick, Durham, 1977)

See also the photo of Austin's wedding in a note about Ivy & Austin here - Madge is seen third from the left.

Madge Sennett was married to Jack Sennett. (Lizzie's younger son. I'd like to write a note for you sometime about Jack - do send in some stories/images.) She leaves her two children Bernadette & Michael and their families.

Here are some further images of people introduced in earlier posts. Many thanks are due to Mum/GranMari/Marian for the scanning and to Grandad for the rootling.


Here's Lizzie Sennett (nee Fitzpatrick)

Dates (approximate) would help, eh?
The right-hand pic is from the wedding photo of
her son Austin, 1964.



Below is the dapper James Sennett, Lizzie's future husband - and a Great Dane called Lady.













Here's some pictures of Ivy (nee Barningham) and
our Austin Sennett. (Lizzie's son) Both Jack & Austin were musical, see Austin below. He was known as Max because of his stunning resemblance to the great Filmmaker Mack Sennett (Keystone Cops etc).



(That's Austin on the left, Mack on the right)








Ivy and Max were involved with the North East Theatre Organ Association, NETOA. If you came from that group looking for Max Sennett, then now you'll need to redirect yourself to this page, which is a new, separate page about Ivy & Max Sennett.

Here's my photo that was sent to Nuncy & Ivy, note fantastically skillful writing even then.

Finally - links to some pages on the wider web about the Sennett name, on Ancestry.co.uk and on House of Names.com.

Quick note - there's a deliberate mistake in this message, just to test whether or not anyone out there is reading this. Drop me a line if you spot it & I'll send you a big e-kiss.

Again, all the best to the Sennett family.
Much love from
