It was a privilege this week to be invited to share some of the early history of the Irish in Batley & the parish of St Mary of the Angels amongst those for who it is most relevant. It was a lovely social occasion too.

What a handsome looking clock! You’ve reminded me that I have unfinished research into a clock-making ancestor. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

I’ve just read the will of my 4x great grandfather, written in 1834. The codicil is dated the very same day! I imagine it was a case of:

“🤬, I’ve forgotten the parcel of land with the pigsty” which was *opposite his house*!

He left it to his wife. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy
