I'm hugely excited about the return of the Bury Psalter to @stedscath.bsky.social; the donation of the manuscript to the Cathedral means that it can stay in Bury. Along with the Bury Chronicle at Moyse's Hall Museum it's one of only two of the Abbey's books that remain in the town they were made for

Just came across my first #MetPolice Pension Register and I'm loving it; I wish all my ancestors had worked there! Height, hair colour, eye colour, complexion and *exact* place of birth... and then again for the spouse! A dream record. 🤩 @mpsheritage.bsky.social

Excellent article about the Irish Free State census of 1926, which will be released mid-April. There was a census in Northern Ireland on the same day, but its records have sadly not survived, meaning the next northern census release will be that from 1937, in 2037. #genealogy #Ireland
