I spent the day sorting out the life of Phoebe Beckendall who left her husband Charles Rixon & children. She settled with Charles Reeley in Colnbrook #OnePlaceStudy using the surname Kitson. I knew something was up as she was 12 years older. There were three children born in Colnbrook…

Hello #GenHour! Hope you’re all doing ok & having many #FamilyHistory & #OnePlaceStudy successes! We’ve been camping at a festival this week, so my research time has been restricted, but I’ve been collaborating with a cousin on one of our mutual lines

Just got this message while trying to use Ancestry for #OnePlaceStudy research, and I guess the revolution has begun...

#genealogy Your nice 3x great-grandmother probably married somebody out on one of the tippy-end branches like a 4x cousin 1R and I have no idea whether it's one of my main trees, a #OnePlaceStudy, my immigration research tree, or whatever. If the surnames are common, I am clueless abt where she is.

The latest Batley St. Mary of the Angels post is about the 1937 May Queen ceremony. Rita Kelly was that year’s May Queen.

The parts of the house we can see are built from sandy-coloured limestone, with small windows, while the tall chimney stacks are made of red brick. Above is a blue sky, and closer to us, partly obscuring the view of the building, is a tall, evergreen hedge.

I have spent quite a few hours this weekend writing up my research for my latest #OnePlaceStudy about a resident of St. John's Square, Wakefield. There is a possibility I may be able to publish it this week.

Found myself today on a cool database I'd never seen before. The National Archives Lay & Clerical Taxation Database. Found like 30 records from 1543-1674 for my #OnePlaceStudy. Now to find where all the 18th C. records are hiding... #Genealogy www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/e179/search....
