@oneplacestudies.bsky.socialPretty sure we did. A topic I have looked into in connection with my Waters Upton #OnePlaceStudy – I have written and posted parts 1 and 2 of a series of blog posts about the Association for the Prosecution of Felons covering the parish, and really must complete the series at some point!
@lynneaboutlboro.bsky.socialSaints is the theme of today's #31DaysofGraves challenge (following the Scottish list of themes). Not many of these in Loughborough, England, my #OnePlaceStudy lynneaboutloughborough.blogspot.com/2026/10/31-d...

@willsmanonename.bsky.socialJust browsing the @sogorg.bsky.social's wonderful list of events, & thought this one might be of interest to one-placers: portal.sog.org.uk/Event/view/1.... Utilities are high on my to-do list for my #OnePlaceStudy
@oneplacestudies.bsky.socialHow to Start a One-Place Study and Build Its Website highlights how the @ancestorpress.bsky.social One-Place Studies plugin can be used as part of WordPress #OnePlaceStudy websites, with an emphasis on sources used for #OnePlaceStudies in England and Wales. #OnePlaceWednesday
@willsmanonename.bsky.socialI’ve been applying #OnePlaceStudy skills to my #FamilyHistory recently. The 1910 Valuation Act is probably too far on (& possibly the hamlet too small) from the time I’m tracing, but no harm in trying. The hamlet I’m doing this for is much smaller than my OPS,so is good practice!

@lynneaboutlboro.bsky.socialIt was very difficult to decide the meaning of 'Famous' for today's contribution to #31DaysofGraves (following the Scottish list of themes). Here's a selection from Loughborough, England, my #OnePlaceStudy lynneaboutloughborough.blogspot.com/2026/10/31-d...

@oneplacestudies.bsky.socialA #OnePlaceStudy resident’s birthplace which had me stumped for a long time was that of Thomas Payne, who appeared on the 1901 and 1911 censuses at Waters Upton. Eventually the 1921 census clarified that ‘Juckes Hill’ in Herefordshire was actually Deuxhill in Shropshire!
