@Dave_Lifelines I only have one old family photo with a cat - but it’s a ship’s cat! #AncestryHour

In other news, I received this book in the post today. It’s not every day you find a published photo of a relative in a book.
I wrote a blog about John Joseph Lawson a few weeks ago: https://t.co/vIGgdfagB8

I had a great result recently. Managing to track down the daughter of Major Arthur Chadwick to repatriate his 1930s military photo album with her. Also included was her Uncles Death Penny. #AncestryHour #Genealogy #familytree #familyresearch

The other really important piece to point out is the location of the address on the census form itself. It’s on the FRONT! The household names are on the BACK! Grab all the images from the #1921census… and you find those in the “Extra (Address)” section. #househistoryhour

Three interesting documents for Theophilus T Bacon (1811-1873) and his daughter Sarah Ann Bacon (1843-1865) from Nottingham. Please share this post to see if we can find their families.
