There has been a
belief in the family of John and Mary Egleton,
that they are related through Mary’s mother, née Rix,
to a Plane family in Norfolk.
John and Mary Egleton’s
daughter Pamela Rebecca, was born at North Elmham, Norfolk on 31 July 1887.
Tradition has it that word was received from John Plane, a
relative in the USA, that his daughter Daisy had died and he
asked that the next girl born be named Daisy. Pamela
Rebecca had already been christened but she became known
always as Daisy and went on to name her own daughter Daisy.
In
support of this story, Pamela Rebecca (Daisy) handed down to
her daughter, photographs said be of John Plane, his wife
and his mother. The reverse side of these photographs,
although damaged after being taken out of an album, bear a
picture of what can be described as a cast iron “pot
bellied” stove on which the names of US cities are embossed.

Pamela Rebecca (Daisy) moved
to the north east of England with her parents in 1890 but
returned to Norfolk as a teenager to live at Gately, near
North Elmham, with her maternal grandmother Pamela Clitheroe,
née Rix. She remained in Norfolk and married Joseph Annison
in 1913.
