Sometimes it’s what’s on the other side that makes it an #AdoorableThursday door. This is at Dolgellau - Islawrdref in Wales. Adventures begin here.

Visited The Dirty Bottles pub in Alnwick. In 1725 The landlord was clearing up but after touching some dirty bottles in the window dropped down dead. His wife said they were cursed so they’ve not been touched since and the pub changed its name. #pub #strange #northumberland #History

There’s always a sadness when you finish a good book - the characters you’ve come to know and love are gone. In this case though there’s a few more in the series - the next one’s on order. Highly recommend Hiding the Past, by @nathandylangoodwin.bsky.social #Genealogy

Because of the size and flatness you don’t always get to see the shape of the Vale of York - this was taken at Garrowby Hill on the A166 as you descend down the Yorkshire Wolds. The flatness of the vale carved out by the last ice age 20,000 years ago.

Great to bump into Snaith Lockup on my hunt for ancestors. Originally built by the Vestry board in the 1790’s to house prisoners then later managed by the police. Only small part remains. Great little find by Snaith Priory Church. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Snaith #lockup

Great family photo of my 2nd great grandmother and her family, Lizzetta Brougham. Photography used to be a staged event as cameras were not common. How many of our modern day snapshots will be preserved and provide such treasures for the generations after us? #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

I visited Goole Library last week to go through the old local newsapapers of the time and they don't mention the death at all. I guess my only possible source open are any coroner's records if they exisit anywhere. #Genealogy #Coroner

On the 1939 pre-war UK register, if the female has a surname written over this is their subsequent married name. How did they acquire this information and how reliable is it? I've an example on the attached where Kathleen WALKER has MANN written over it? #Genealogy #GenHour #FamilyHistory

Kathleen Walker's entry in the 1939 Register which has the surname MANN writtten on it and WALKER crossed out.

Was really suprised at the amount of information on an Australian death certificate, far more than here in the UK - listing parents, spouce and children. Great for #FamilyHistory.

Just spent the morning at Yardley cemetery in Birmingham looking for grave stones. It’s massive the cemetery- I’m glad I had some info before I went otherwise it would have been impossible. Shocking you have to pay £10 for each grave location though!
