That’s a really good point Andrew. I haven’t found an illegitimacy but I also haven’t concentrated on it as a possibility. Brick walls really do benefit from a fresh pair of eyes - thank you!

When researching our family history, most of us will probably unearth a common skeleton in the cupboard - that of illegitimacy. www.exploreyourgenealogy.co.uk/illegitimate...

We need to talk about enparishification… Does your research lack detail? Are you unsure about where your ancestors actually came from? Can you tell the difference between a village and a parish of the same name or do you often conflate the two? If you answered ‘yes’ to those questions, watch this…

It's here! 📢 Just 371 days after publishing the last episode, I proudly present to you Episode 27 of Setting The Record Straight! And it's all about that habit we sometimes have of enparishification. Yes, you heard me right. Enparishification... #SettingTheRecordStraight youtu.be/XCU-Jy3PQuQ

#Genealogy Question: Does anyone know if you can use wax seals to trace a family line? Like was it common to inherit a wax seal from a parent & then use it yourself? Or were they typically all unique & individual?

Saw this somewhere else, so thought i should share here too. #genealogy #archives #cambridgeshire #huntingdonshire #ancestry

Had a good time at the launch of the Sam Motherwell exhibition on the third floor of Cambridge Central Library. It'll be up till Friday 19th December if you want to catch it yourself.

Here's a handy guide (Ancestry take note): 1660-1822 The original church on Pancras Road = St Pancras parish church 1822-today The new church on Euston Road = St Pancras parish church 1848-today The original church restored and named Old St Pancras church (no marriages solemnised there until 1859).

Having just read a refence to a marriage taking place at "St Pancras’ Old Church in 1854" in an otherwise excellent article about a case of bigamy, I thought it might be worth revisiting my blog about the St Pancras churches. It's easy; the 'old' church is (kind of) the newer of the two...

"Through 1950, census-takers commonly determined the race of the people they counted. From 1960 on, Americans could choose their own race. Starting in 2000, Americans could incl. themselves in more than 1 racial category. Before that, many multiracial people were counted in only 1 racial category."

Saw that the Wills are going up from £1.50 to £16.00.... but amused that the GRO site is now giving me insecure non-https vibes tonight too.

Wills to increase dramatically in price from 17 November! If you want any for your #OnePlaceStudy, order them soon. I hope the quality of the service improves by the same percentage as the vast increase in cost. Posting early for #OnePlaceWednesday
