Uncover The Past

UK based historical researcher - genealogy, family history & general detective work. When I’m not poking around old records, I’m probably off hiking.

Scandalous families *so* much more exciting to research. I feel like I’m watching my own private drama play out #geneology #scandalafterscandal

Lovely to have time this weekend to dig more into a clients family history. There’s been more than a few interesting stories in this one! #amresearching #geneology #familyhistory

#Onthisday in 1909 two #suffragettes posted themselves to @10DowningStreet in an attempt to deliver a message personally to Prime Minister. On the blog, Archivist Louise tells the fascinating story https://t.co/y1V41WDaJJ

Not all Valentines in our #Archive are happy: our archivists once investigated a card from the 1880s & uncovered a tale of broken promises that revealed much about relationships, marriage & civil courts in the Victorian era... https://t.co/qNJ8i03dft

@rosieatlarge Whaaaat?? That’s disgusting. Sorry you had to put up with that.

[Uncover The Past @UncoverThe_Past]

For me, I’m focusing the first part of the year on #vote100 - not genealogy related but there’s important stories that need to be told #suffrage #heroes #VotesforWomen

[Uncover The Past @UncoverThe_Past]

New year, new #genealogy adventures!! I wish everyone productive & successful research this year!

A fantastic photo from the Westminster City Archives of a campaign for #VotesforWomen, including parades, demostrations and rallies in 1910. Banner says "Hope is Strong." #Centenary #Vote100 #womensmovement #history #twitterstorians #Suffrage

John Tyler, America’s tenth president, was born in 1790. He has two living grandchildren.

Yes, grandchildren.

As it’s the 250th anniversary of the first ever circus, we thought we’d share this poster advertising Bridges’ Circus at Priory Street, #Dudley, 27 Apr 1837 (ref no: PO/230) #Circus250

It took 18 months to remove pins, clips and staples (260 kg of metal!), as well as adhesive, to get the 640,000 files of the Canadian Expeditionary Force ready for digitization. #FWW #WWI https://t.co/8rpydDCiCQ
