Family history thoughts

  • Too many ancestors and not enough time………..
  • Time changes things – please don’t judge your ancestors

What do you do this Saturday evening. I played with my pyrography kit before putting it up for sale. Little used. Decluttering. My take on Scandi style. #beechwood #cheeseboard #peterchildspyrography #pyrography #artandcrafts
Love looking at census returns and usually I look at the original image first. But for speed on something I've been looking at the transcriptions. This made me smile. Sure painting a fairground horse would be a cool job but in reality this should be HOUSE painter.
When you spend your time drawing and colouring in over the growing list of jobs 🤷🏻‍♀️. Best therapy that and walking and it’s way to hot for that. Anyone else out there hate it above 22 degrees C #fabercastellpolychromos
Stunning flowers from @slevans__ The birthday gift that keeps on giving. Thank you. So uplifting. #roses #longstemroses #birthdaygift
I’ve been trawling the newspaper today and found a tiny photo of my grandfathers brother, Horace Pearson. Horace was the first born son of my Great grandparents Henry and Mary Pearson. Prior to the war Horace worked for the family painting and decorating business in Leicester, alongside 2 of his brothers( inc my Grandfather Harry). He married Ada Heggs in February 1916 before losing his life, less than 8 months later, fighting in France and Flanders. He is buried at Bancourt British Cemetery, which I have had the privilege to pay my respects.
Amazing service from Halfords today. Low tyre pressure on all tyres but taken care of in minutes @halfords_uk Derby
Some beautiful writing from 1669. Sadly there are catalogued incorrectly as Longford Derbyshire when they should be Smalley Derbyshire approx 16 miles apart. Both tiny villages even now.
Of the hundreds of census returns I have searched I have never seen this. Clearly this enumerator Raymond Godard had a light bulb moment. The first page Bolsover is written by hand. The next 8 pages the stamp is used on the header. Then boom. Used everywhere the word Bolsover is required. It was used on 62 pages. Has anyone else seen a stamp used like this? This is the 1901 census.
Only a matter of time. Too much possession 2nd half. But our goalie needs a medal. Some great saves. Sadly not the last one. #englandfootball #italyvsengland
Another day chilling, watching the tennis. Later the football. Suspect my step count will be pretty low today 🤣. #pixelmycat #wimbledon #pencildrawing #chilling
Morning wake up visit. Hence the photos out of focus !! 🤣. My mate Pixel ❤️❤️❤️
A quick stop off at @thebottlekiln In love with the garden, a lovely oasis. Oh and the cakes 😀😀😀
