My 3xggf was in the Wigan Observer in 1870 having been accused, with several others, of 'keeping dogs without having procured licences'. His case was the only one dismissed. 😄

Given my failed attempt to research on #OnePlaceWednesday due to the granddog sitting recently. I think I've found a solution, so the rest of the day will be spent researching dog licences in the UK and Ireland.

Thank you to those that shared a very respectful remembrance service today @Penn&TylersGreen . With a special thanksgiving for L/Cpl Thomas Harding.

That’s it from us for this week’s #OnePlaceWednesday, but #AATP25 continues and we will be sharing another #OnePlaceStudies video via our YouTube channel🔗 at 10am UK time tomorrow, on the theme of Health and Medicine.

So thrilled to catch a siting of this hoopoe but thought l ought to send a professional pic alongside in case you struggle with my photography 😉

Whilst taking time to relax in Majorca. I am still fascinated by the local history. A day in Felanitx showed us a small town with a very large parish church. Santa Miquel. #OnePlaceWesnesday

I’m spending #OnePlaceWednesday having a good sort out of materials old and new. I need to create space as I gather more projects. Came across this and wondered if any one else remembers Eve McLaughlin. She was a major help to local people starting out on a FH journey back in the early 80’s

Busy #OnePlaceWednesday today writing up my #Stanmore family history for a recent DNA match. Also thought i’d write up my recent Liverpool trip where of course we found a graveyard and I tried to take myself back to Gt Grandfathers trip up the Mersey 🎼 in a town where he was born

Was thrilled to find this newspaper celebrating Victoria’s diamond jubilee in June 1897. Found in an old antiquities shop for a mere £2.00 has an amazing article about London at the beginning of the Queens reign 1837.

Sorry not to join #OnePlaceWednesdyLIVE today. I’m taking a road trip around the Cotswolds today. But hoping to catch up Friday for Peter Burnhills #Born1819. But finally got to #GloucesterCathedral

Last chance to object to disastrous planning proposals for Liverpool Street Station. 🗃️

Hey All. I am doing a 32m charity pedal on the South Coast in July. All funds raised go to MS research. Just Giving link below if you are able to donate. Cheers.

Have spent most of my #OnePlaceWedsesday researching the 1921 census. Can someone remind me please. Why are so many out of work? TIA

Have had a fabulous #OnePlaceWednesday in Dorset today. Amazing views, villages and church yards. Including where they filmed #Farfromthemadingcrowd and Cider that can prove it’s lineage

I spent #OnePlaceWednesday researching local beech trees blue bells and spires today

Man who bought a military uniform about 5 years ago finds a letter from December 1945 in the pocket written by a woman to her sweetheart in the RAF. 👇 BBC News - Bid to reunite family with letter to RAF darling found 80 years on - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@julzmuirhead.bsky.social @debbiehearnuk.bsky.social found this today and thought if your local you might enjoy. www.pittonandfarley.co.uk/wordpress/wp...

As a young person l spent hours scrolling catalogues to purchase clothes that l could buy for a reasonable shilling or two a month. This #OnePlaceWednesday l am still scrolling catalogues but now it’s local history societies, libraries and planning my visits.

If you follow @genealogystoriesuk.bsky.social you will find she occasionally post writing prompts. I am finding them very helpful. I have been saving them in a Word document so I can go back and choose different ones. #GenealogyStories #AncestryHour

Bluebells won’t be long now

Rome was amazing but yesterday was what we really came to do. Pay thanks to the boys of the #RoyalWestKentRegiment &others who lost their lives in Cassino. Michael Crosby in particular a family member. A tragic story which includes much incompetence at the cost of so many #LestWeForget

Produced by Leeds born artist and campaigner Emily Susan Ford (1850–1930) the poster was a protest against the various Factory Acts where the regulations governing women's work were made by men without consulting women workers. Born into a politically active Quaker family

Delighted to hear this news. In my #OnePlaceStudy time capsule 1939-1962 this building played an important part for the lives of local polish airmen and a place where my own grandfather took up ball room dancing in the 50’s.

Today. Right in front of my very eyes. I honestly was beginning to think l was never going to see this for real. Stunning. 🤩

Magnolia’s excelled itself this year

On the last day of #WomensHistoryMonth I have to challenge #NHS and ask about progress for #WomensHealth having waited 6 weeks to see a female GP and then 3 months for a referral and only then if I’m prepared to travel 25miles for a 9am appointment. 🤷‍♀️

If you’re in the #Manchester area today, do pop in and visit the @oneplacestudies.bsky.social stand at the Manchester & Lancashire FHS Family History Fair!

Norwich Cathedral. Was quite pleased with this one.

The grand union canal Berkhampstead never fails to please on a #BlueSky sunny day

Really enjoyed catching up with familiar faces on #OnePlaceWednesdayLive this morning. Looking forward to hearing outcomes from findings of Ancestry Networks 🤞

Rest in Peace, Group Captain, John 'Paddy' Hemingway the surviving Battle of Britain pilot who has died age 105. Thank you for your service. news.sky.com/story/john-p...

Have just come back from Norwich where we paid homage to Edith Cavell for #WomensHistoryMonth. Norwich Cathedral has an exhibition of 14 paintings called The Way of the Cross. Well worth a visit. You can also follow a pilgrimage trail. Which takes you to her home village

Spending #OnePlaceWednesday in the garden whilst the sun is still shining,reminding myself of the gardens belonging to my #OneStreet families during the war years. Gardens abundant with potatoes,veggies, rhubarb & goosgogs & Roses still benefitting from the same clay soil as their London roots.

13 PARK LANE is on BookBub! 99p for the next few days. Catch it before it's too late www.bookbub.com/books/13-par...

Working on my #OnePlaceStreet today which starts in 1939. I am noticing a difference in house nos. Between 1939 Electoral Register and the 1939 Register. Can anyone tele me if the Electoral role nos were changed because of the war. TIA

Made the most of the sunshine yesterday discovering #LocalHistory. I often forget what’s on my own doorstep. Even the cormorant came to say hello. #OnePlaceStudy #HighWycombe #MondayMills

Another beautiful day for a walk and a graveyard #LocalHistory

My #OnePlaceWedneaday trip to Banbury also included a visit to Tooleys Boatyard which dates back to 1778. Please support if you can.

Visited Banbury on this #OnePlaceWednesday and it was a terrible disappointment. But #BanburyMuseum did not disappoint. Highlight for me was this late 19th cent carriers cart. Just like the one my George Coombs took from Fovant to Salisbury.

This is cool! A state school has defeated Eton to reach the finals of the International History Bowl & Bee in Vienna. They’re former winners, and are sending two young teams to compete again They need help with travel costs, can you help these young historians? www.gofundme.com/f/send-the-f...
