Aged 23 Julius was naturalised under the Naturalization Act 1870. The fee for this was £5. In 1893, £5 was worth approximately £714. The current fee for naturalisation is £1,330 (2022).

In June 2006 I was contacted by Mr
Deans of the Desborough Historic Society who asked permission to use some of
the Heaf Saga in a small booklet he was writing. In return he sent the following pictures
of Desborough Rushton
Hall taken about 1908. The Hall used to belong to the Treshams who were involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Tresham was a
devout Catholic and the Triangular
Lodge was built to state his beliefs.
There is an atlas which was owned by FRGH in which he has marked his journies across Europe. Unfortunatly it is not noted what the journies were for. However the route to North Russia dated 1918 had a clear purpose.
