It was just me and some sheep - and a glorious morning on Caer Caradoc, near Church Stretton. Follow me on a walk that takes in Caractacus’s Cave and spectacular views of the Long Mynd, the Lawley, Hope Bowdler, Ragleth, Helmeth, Hazler and the Wrekin. #Shropshire

My lovely grandad was born #OTD in 1905. His parents were from Devon and Gloucestershire and he was born in Hertfordshire (where his father was working as an estate gardener). They moved to St Martins #Shropshire where he grew up. He was a Colliery Deputy/Fireman at Ifton Colliery. #genealogy

Seven years ago today was the most stressful day of my life - our son's 7 hour spinal fusion operation to correct scoliosis. Forever thankful to the wonderful Mr Davidson and the RJAH Hospital 💕

I'm so old that I am am pre the MMR vaccine - and I had all three of them when I was young. It just goes to show how widespread they once were... .

I tend to neglect people I actually knew as a child in my family tree! Just looking at death notices now and my great-uncle Harold died "during a journey through Wallasey". He was also known as Hal. I knew neither of those things! #genealogy #FamilyHistory

Yet another morning when my alarm went off at 4.40am. I made my way to Ludlow yesterday and this was the view from Whitcliffe Common at sunrise, with a flight of geese above the castle. On the horizon is Brown Clee and its summit of Abdon Burf, veiled in mist. #shropshire

I have an elusive great-aunt Nora Johson. In my nan's birthday book it says "Nora's wedding 28.09.49". Can't find a marriage. In the 1939 Register it has the marriage date & Rothwell & NR230 NxS. Google says this means a name change other than marriage. The mystery deepens #genealogy #FamilyHistory

Mention no names, but I am related to a RJAH "cleanliness technician"! 👀 I have to say it's definitely the cleanest hospital I've ever been in. #Shropshire www.rjah.nhs.uk/about-us/new...

We include a street directory and a contemporary train timetable; a wonderful view into our forbears’ lives. They also give name to the many workers in the very varied industries the area once saw, from orange and watercress growing to huge gas and sewerage works.

Did any of your great-grandparent's live long enough for you to meet them? I was lucky enough to meet my great-grandmother Marjorie. Do we look alike? She lived to age 90. My own Poppa lived to 94 and met both of my daughters, who called him "Old Pop." #familyhistory #genealogy #archives #nz
