Yesterday I spent hours diligently taking our Christmas decorations down (so we wouldn’t get bad luck, obviously) only to arrive at the office this morning and find all this I’d forgotten about! 😱 So if anything disastrous befalls any client’s family history research this year, it’s all my fault!

Some of the lovely things about winter (apart from Christmas and my birthday!) are the pretty skies on my morning commute to work!

There’s a tree outside our office window that has beautiful red leaves in autumn. Each year I love trying to spot the final leaf to fall. We’re down to the final two contenders! Which will be the winner?? Left or right??

I’m working on a family tree involving a man from London who, in the 1910s, worked as a coke carman. This is all I’m picturing!!

Currently working on a scandalous Victorian affair - in 1866 a young widower from rural Rutland eloped to London to marry his second wife. Nothing wrong with that, you may be thinking … but his bride was his stepdaughter!! 🤢

On my way to the office this evening, this little moth followed me down the street and kept bumping into my hand. Then a wood pigeon crashed into my window, narrowly missing the open bit!! I get the feeling nature is trying to tell me something!

Found an interesting occupation in a client’s family tree. I thought at first I’d found my first 21st century software engineer who’d time travelled back to 1860s Utah! But apparently adobe was also type of brick used to build ranches, somewhat disappointingly 😆🧱🏡

I found this lovely little snippet in an 1855 newspaper clipping:
“Happiness can be made easier, and quite as well, of cheap materials as of dear ones.”

I do love finding quirkily-named ancestors in our family trees. I’ve just come across a Victorian child named Esther Vester!

Working on a delightful family tree where the 2 sides of the family came from opposite ends of 🇬🇧 - the paternal side from Cornwall & maternal side from the remotest part of the Scottish Highlands! What chance meeting brought the Cornish grandfather & Scottish grandmother together? 🤩🏴🏴
