lobster Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Orginally did my family years ago - but now updating after a DNA test maternal side Viking -paternal side Anglo Saxon . I could never be certain who one of my GG randfathers was until my DNA test so started re doing . On the paternal side I have another G Granfather who did time in Wakefield for " a dastardly assault in Wadsley " a distant cousin who was Venus of Great Britain 1943 and the Husband of a distant cousin who was publicly hanged for murder in Nottingham . About to start on the maternal side ,they were major landowners in east/north Yorkshire but they gambled and drank it all away - such is life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's manager scissor business. Thanks, all. The transcript of that phrase was incomplete; I spotted the 'scissor' bit, but the muddle was manufacture vs manage. It's clear once you know .

He was transported to Australia ,on a convict ship, where he served 7 years in prison. I've got a transportation to investigate too. A more recent bit of criminality from the 1800s was someone sent off to a reformatory for stealing a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Last night I discovered two sisters, my great aunts, who died as babies in the 1920s. I only came across them as I was on the Sheffield Indexers site trying to track down a grave of a great aunt who died aged 19. The burial plot was shared with two others of the same name - the father's name was recorded - and the address was that given for the family in the 1921 census.
