Delighted to have been asked to record an audio guide on Henry Scott Tuke's painting 'The Message' at Falmouth Art Gallery. In it I explain why Tuke's image of his housekeeper Mrs Fouracre was a perfect cover image for ‘The Married Widows of Cornwall'. guides.bloombergconnects.org/en-US/guide/...

Research for a client has just revealed an ancestor who worked as a steam navvy driver, which was a new one on me. Looked it up and found this great footage of one in action. A lovely way to bring family history to life. player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/wa...

Had a chance to visit Kerdroya the Cornish hedge labyrinth by Golden Tree Productions on Bodmin moor and loved the variety of textures, colours and construction.

Just stumbled upon this great 1937 film showing how one used to get birth certs. Well before my time, but do remember lugging those massive index volumes off the shelves at St Catherine’s House & Family Records Centre. #Geneaology #FamilyHistory @agragenealogy.bsky.social youtu.be/Q-B8DqKNq-4?...
