@Historylady2013 So sorry to hear your sad news Sylvia. It's heartbreaking to lose any loved one but when it's your husband or partner it's devastating. Hugs from me x

[Kathryn Burtinshaw @PinpointAnc]

Many thanks for inviting me to give the talk. It was a pleasure meeting you all #genealogy

@JaneElRoberts This is a visit that has been on my bucket list for a long time. I would love to trace my grandfather's footsteps. He was lucky, despite enlisting on the outbreak of war he survived.

@ArchiveAngel @Workhouses Thanks for passing this on 🙂

[Kathryn Burtinshaw @PinpointAnc]

@JaneElRoberts This is such sad and frustrating news for you. Thinking of you and sending hugs x

[Kathryn Burtinshaw @PinpointAnc]

@JaneElRoberts I'm glad you have a new date booked for your operation and looking forward to 6 January and lots of new revelations is something definitely worth looking forward to.

[Kathryn Burtinshaw @PinpointAnc]

@JaneElRoberts Such bad news, hope they fit you in soon. Sending hugs x

@ArchiveAngel @historywardrobe Thanks for the recommendation, I'll certainly buy a copy. I've just finished reading The Nine by Gwen Strauss and was amazed at their incredible courage of nine female resistance workers during the Second World War.

Just submitted my 2021 census so in 100 years if anyone is interested they can read all about me #Genealogy #ancestry

[Kathryn Burtinshaw @PinpointAnc]

@ChalfontR Received my online registration code about a fortnight ago and have already started filling my census submission in. I know a lot of people who haven't received theirs yet though.

Unusual name for the groom in a parish register from 1823 in Cheadle, Cheshire, England. Wonder how he lived that one down! #Genealogy #History #ancestryhour #Cheshire

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

The Queen is sending a private message of condolence to the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore.

Her Majesty very much enjoyed meeting Captain Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Her thoughts and those of the Royal Family are with them.

Semi-normality returned yesterday with our first visit to a National Trust property this year. A walk around the lovely Hill of Tarvit Mansion gardens in Fife @N_T_S

The vicar of Davenham church in Cheshire in 1800 must have realised the importance of #Genealogy . Not only did he provide both parent's names and parishes in the register of baptisms but also all four grandparents too. #familyhistory
