Yes, Scampston Hall is open as part of #HeritageOpenDays www.scampston.co.uk/plan-your-vi...

Found a reference to ‘the usual resorts of vagrants or encampments’ in the 1861 Census for Scampston as part of the enumeration description. Wondering if they are part of the travelling community making their way up to Appleby Fair? Has anyone else found this during research? #OnePlaceWednesday

TODAY! Come & find the Railway Work, Life & Death project stand at The Greatest Gathering! We're in U Shop, in the History, Heritage & Preservation area - lots of #RailwayHistory for you. #GreatestGathering #Derby #Railway200

This excellent article by Rod Mickleburgh described what happened after the shooting of #GingerGoodwin #FamilyHistory #LocalHistory #VancouverBC www.labourheritagecentre.ca/the-ginger-g... @bclhc.bsky.social

#OnThisDay on 1918, #GingerGoodwin was shot and killed. His memory lives on. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #MiningHistory #VancouverIsland

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

So good to see the completed work in person. #GingerGoodwin #FamilyHistory 🌹

Still stops me in my tracks. Fellow family historians will get it - seeing my Great Great Uncle Albert ‘Ginger’ Goodwin immortalised on the wall of a supermarket in Cumberland. A bit faded now, but his spirit lives on! #GingerGoodwin #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #CumberlandBC #LabourLegacy #Mining

Took a moment to pause after visiting Ginger Goodwin’s grave in Cumberland and being interviewed about him at the archives. As I head further north, the remoteness deepens and so does the peace. Just how I like it. #GingerGoodwin #VancouverIsland

Good to be at the archives in #CumberlandBC again. Lots of #GingerGoodwin memorabilia here. Heartwarming conversations with local people whose ancestors knew him. #FamilyHistory #LocalHistory #Mining

Wonderful to see the renovated gravestone of #GingerGoodwin at Cumberland Cemetery on#VancouverIsland and proud to represent the Goodwin family in this process. #FamilyHistory #Mining @familytreeuk.bsky.social

#CanadaDay finds me travelling #VancouverIsland, thinking about my great-great uncle, Albert #GingerGoodwin. Such a change to leave the Yorkshire pits for the forests & fresh air of this beautiful place. This island became the backdrop to the rest of his short but powerful life. #FamilyHistory

Even managed to squeeze in a trip to the British Columbia #Archives next to the spectacular Museum in Victoria, Vancouver Island. Interesting to discover many digital interviews of people recalling stories about #GingerGoodwin #FamilyHistory

#OnThisDay 2018, I took part in the re-enactment of my Great Great Uncle Albert’s funeral cortège and gave a reading at his graveside on behalf of the Goodwin family. It’s a pleasure to return to Cumberland, Vancouver Island for another chapter of the #GingerGoodwin story. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

A church-crawling day at All Saints, Slingsby, North Yorkshire. Views requested from historians, archaeologists & genealogists or anyone about the stone work. Masons’ marks or stone from a dissolved abbey?

A useful website for #OnePlaceVoices on #OnePlaceWednesday found a super entry for #Rillington here. dialectandheritage.org.uk/stories/spot...

#OnePlaceWednesday 🚂

Special Collections, Brotherton Library @leedslibraries.bsky.social holds recordings of #Rillington dialect focussing on farming, feast, Foresters’ & Shepherds’ clubs & anecdotes. Here is one of several. explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-coll... #OnePlaceWednesday

So many knowledgeable people in different places have helped me progress this week. Grateful thanks to @thegenealogist.bsky.social @uoyborthwick.bsky.social @leedslibraries.bsky.social #OnePlaceWednesday #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday 🚂

Today, we generally associate hawthorn blossom with ribboned hedgerows, but before Charnwood Forest was enclosed, it would have been examples like this one that lit up the early spring scene.  #APlaceOutOfPlace an exploration of  #CharnwoodForest #OnePlaceWednesday #OnePlaceStudies

#OnePlaceWednesday finds me knee-deep in analysis of who owned, rented or sold land to the York Scarborough #Railway Company. This map records plots in 1844. Interesting how the landscape altered and changed hands by 1848. Railways changed places quickly. #LocalHistory @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate

Thank you to everyone who has read and shared How-to History. We are now at around 100 posts and over 2,500 followers. We want to continue delivering in a manageable way, given time constraints on the editors, and so are moving to monthly publication. howtohistory.substack.com/p/moving-mon...

Tying up loose ends between the connection to Rillington Place and #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday The eagle-eyed will spot two familiar street names in The Godfrey Edition of Notting Hill 1914 which reveal more clues. Writing up a narrative of the connected landowners. @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate

A worthy read and bookmark for anyone conducting a #OnePlaceStudy which had a #railway coming through. #LocalHistory

Special Collections at the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds is my favourite. It is where a descendant of the Lord of the Manor of #Rillington deposited manorial documents. It's a wondrous place for anyone with #Yorkshire Ancestors. #OnePlaceWednesday library.leeds.ac.uk/info/1500/sp...

Railway 200, by Joe Saunders. A year-long, nationwide campaign to celebrate two centuries of the modern railway. A wide variety of activities and events are planned to celebrate the history of rail. #Railway200 howtohistory.substack.com/p/railway-200

@ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate update on #OnePlaceWednesday Cross analysis occurring between 1841-1861 census, 1844 Railway Plans/Ledgers, 1848 Tithe Map & Apportionments, 1854 OS Survey Map stitched and centred by the wonderful @natlibscot.bsky.social Here is my latest source. Loving every minute!

Going back to basics at #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday intensely categorising the 1841-1851-1861 census. Pondering why the PRs are bursting with marriages, yet there are more unmarried people. Also the role of women in the patriarchal society at the time. More questions than answers at the moment.

These well-thumbed #books formed the basis of #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy and continue to provide answers to current questions. #WorldBookDay

#LabourHistory #TradeUnions We've updated our free guide to archive sources on the miners' strike of 1984-85 sslh.org.uk/2024/10/11/s...

THIS SATURDAY! A project talk in #Cardiff! Part of the Welsh Railways Research Circle talks series, all welcome - 2pm, Sat 15 Feb: 'Asking for trouble’? The Railway Work, Life & Death project & railway employee accidents in Wales before 1939 https://buff.ly/4gCseLL

Unbelievable! Just found the ‘missing’ part of Scampston 1861 census in Southwark!!! Reported the error to the ‘provider.’ never too old to experience the YES moment. Scampston is part of #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy. The two villages are inseparable. #OnePlaceWednesday

Just made it into #OnePlaceCohorts! The clerk in holy orders holding a cat is Rev Harry Stanley Carpenter, vicar of Rillington 1889-1894. A rectory meeting was held in the contiguous parish of Thorpe Bassett in 1893. More tea vicar? #OnePlaceWednesday

This three-minute video produced by BC Labour Heritage Centre, Canada portrays a bite-sized narrative of the life and death of my Great Great Uncle, Albert (Ginger) Goodwin 1887-1918. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #LocalHistory youtu.be/A-1xFwWz2bo?...

#RailwayBluesky - anyone out there who knows about old railway tickets, can you help? With these, interested in the significance of the 'ambulance' & 'convalescent home' parts. Specific musings to follow ... #Railway200 #Railway #RailwayHistory

Wishing all who find this page a Happy Christmas from #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy May you find peace and contentment during the next few days and beyond. 🎄

Do you still post Christmas cards? The earliest dateable posting 'slot' is from 1809 when it was installed in the wall at Wakefield Post Office on the corner of Wood Street and Cross Street. It is now in the possession of @wakefieldmuseums.bsky.social This was years before the first post boxes.

We're all about #OnePlaceStudies of course— but we also like to encourage place-based (and #CommunityHistory / #SocialHistory) research in #FamilyHistory. An article added to the Family History Zone website last month looking at The #Genealogy of Place ties in nicely with that. #OnePlaceWednesday
