Must have been slow news in 1860 as the find of two mushrooms made it in to the Huddersfield Chronicle. James King is my great x 3 grandfather #mushrooms #genealogy

Taken quite a break from all things social media but tentatively stepping back in with this quite actually remarkable death of Arthur Wilde in 1886 😬

I had known that Ancestry had launched Sheffield & Rotherham parish records a few months back but not really used them as already on FindmyPast; however, the years are up to more recent than FMP so had some great new discoveries www.ancestry.co.uk/search/colle...

Today I am remembering my great x 2 grandfather Oliver Cromwell Johnson. A private in the Yorkshire & Lancashire Regiment. He died 27th November 1917 during the Battle of Cambrai. His body never found. Remembered on the Cambrai Memorial, Louverval, France. We have no photo of him.

Long Melford village Remembrance Day Parade. Led by a lone piper; the scouts, cubs, beavers, squirrels, air and sea cadets, fire brigade, and the school all marched to the parish church for the service.
