Had opportunity to dig into the Freemen of York archives today & came across the programmes from many @Yorkmysteryplay

Who can spot the York born National Treasures in the role of Mary, 1957. Her third mystery play and very much the beginning of her successful career!

@GOVUK are births only being kept to 100years ago or will more be released? Need to track down a potential pibling born in the 40s and the amount of birth certificates I need to check is going/has already cost £££

[Alex Briggs @ancestormeander]

The new digital image downloads from the GRO @GOVUK is a huge step forward for #genealogy. Cheaper & instant access once purchased (£2.50 per record). I have after over 10 years finally found my gt granny’s birth record thxs to maiden names being included for pre-1911 births 🙌

Wonderful day trip to Cambridge today and visiting @downingcollege with my colleagues from @AGRAGenealogy to see the place before #agraconference in Sept.

@CummingsPFH @NHSuk Thanks Karen! Fair bit of pain to deal with but 🤞 it susides in a few days!

[Alex Briggs @ancestormeander]

Sending out some love and support for the wonderful @NHSuk. Close call this weekend that saw me in hospital and nearly ended up being v. Serious but the amazing nurses and doctors we have are absolutely wonderful. May now be on tablets for life but better than the alternative!
