It’s been a while since my last post, but I’ve not been idle! I’ve been investigating more on the two (in)famous knights, both called Sir Robert BALDOCK, of the 14th and 17th centuries. These are my pet project(s). Due to their public/governmental/royal positions, there is a lot of information around. Despite having taken my BALDOCK [...]

There are probably few of you reading this who remember watching British Pathé newsreels at the cinema (no, I don’t either!). In an age before television, they fed people news from around the country, and the world. This means became very important during World War II. Well, why not see for yourself at the British [...]

Those of you who are not able to afford subscriptions to multiple genealogy sites may have been jealous of those who have access to the very useful 1911 census data at FindMyPast. However, Ancestry recently announced that they will be rolling out 1911 data this year. Until such time as actual schedules are available, they [...]

I cannot believe how the last 12 months has flown. It’s taken a year but I’ve finally updated the tree on my blog (find it here).

The original post for this feed can be found here: Record number of children finally broken!. Please read the original in context.

Previously, the record number of children born to anyone in my family tree was 15. Today, I discovered that John FAGG (1760-1827) of Kingston and Dover fathered 16, admittedly by two different wives. I guess in a way this may mean that the previous record is still valid for a couple.

The original post for this feed can be found here: CLEVELAND corrections. Please read the original in context.

Recently corrected lineage of Elizabeth CLEVELAND, mother-in-law to Elizabeth BALDOCK (b. 1802 Womenswold). Previous sources indicated she was born in Margate to Thomas CLEVELAND and Ann HARLOW, but new information convinces me more that she was actually born in Preston-next-Wingham to John CLEVELAND and Ann ANDREWS.
