Back again to the wonderful Derbyshire Records Office. Not everything is online. Link in bio to their website.
A job well done and quite satisfying. Should do it more often. But now it’s getting a bit late to cook dinner. Should have started earlier 🤣. #cleancar #carcleaning #lovemymini #redisbest #homechores
Happy birthday too. ME. 🤣
A day in the Derbyshire Record Offices researching the Asylum records. First day back and everything was very well organised . Closed at lunch for cleaning. Think I got a little too excited about eating out and not cooking and over ordered. #derbyshirerecordsoffice #asylumrecords #casenotes #casestudy #thepasturesmickleover #history #coolrivermatlock
Nice one @abelandcole
Today’s cooking was a success thanks to @beckyexcell #chocolatefudgecake #yorkshirepuddings
#genealogyphotoaday #quote “what if I’d” can take you down a long road of pain. So please please don’t. Because however many times you say it. It changes nothing.
#genealogyphotoaday #flowers my precious paintings done by my Grandpa. He is the Grandparent I have the strongest memories of. He lived with us for approx 2 years after Grandma died. She had been caring for him after he had both his legs amputated due to poor circulation. He was a strong guy and seemed to managed to manoeuvre his wheelchair well. They were very heavy back in the 60’s. He would have been unstoppable in the lightweight ones today. However I remember being sad to see him in his wheelchair.
Some days stay with you for a lifetime. This was a very good day indeed. The rest of the days were, like everyone experiences, a mixture. But for sure it was the best decision I ever made was that YES answer.
Had a good afternoon researching and I wanted to mention that if you can subscribe to Ancestry and Findmypast this can really help cement your research. Appreciate it can be a challenge with all the other bills we face every month. Example: Today I have been researching my direct line in Parwich, Derbyshire. On Ancestry I found what might be the burial of my 5x Great Grandfather, Henry Creswell, date 2nd January 1804. However there was no age mentioned in the register so he was a maybe. Moving to findmypast they had a copy of a will of a Henry Creswell of Parwich written on 27th December 1803. This will mentions his daughter Ann Smedley, the married name of my 4x Great Grandmother. Result. I am a very happy bunny indeed. #familyhistory #familyhistoryresearch #parwich #peakdistrictnationalpark #genealogyphotoaday #bunny
I have found a new place to fall in love with. Parwich in Derbyshire. Parwich was home to my Paternal 3x great grandmother Ann Smedley born c1797. With her husband and two young children, Henry and John they moved to Ripley. Sadly Ann died shortly after the birth of John. She is buried at Parwich. Her father, Henry (4x GGrandfather) was born in Parwich in 1758 He lived for some time in Ballidon, less than 2 miles from Parwich. He was buried at Parwich after 76 years of living in the area.
I think this is a love or hate it rug. Thankfully, after ordering online from @wayfairuk I LOVE IT. If I get tired of it on the floor it’s going on the wall as a work of art.
