XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 27/09/2026On this day in 1842, Helen Chambers, my 2x great-grandmother was born. This is her story, one of unimaginable loss. Her experience shows that even middle-class women lost their children to infectious diseases in the 19th Century. #familyhistory #genealogyxfacto.redNo Time to GrieveMy 2x great grandmother suffered untold loss in her life.

XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026On the plan it is clear that the wall that still remains used to be much longer and was the coal store. Here's a picture of the remaining wall in 2010 when the kids climbed up on it. 020
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The plan explains why I recently found wall foundations in my flower bed. After nagging my husband to help me remove what I thought was a large stone, he discovered a long cemented block that could not be removed. #Puschkinallee5 #OPS 120
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026On her baptism in Ashford her mother gives "single woman" as occupation. I think it's her. Thank you! 020
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Also it is only an assumption that Lancaster is the mother's name. She might have been given the father's name. So many possibilities... 000
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Elham is a bit far away from Ashford but near enough to be worth looking at. I only looked on the GRO and not FreeBMD, so thank you for that. 100

XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I did find Rose Lancaster, 19 years old in 1901, living just a few streets away and working as a laundress. In 1911, the Kennett family ran a laundry in Cheriton. All sorts of questions are bouncing around my head. It's not my family, but Florence won't let me go. #adoption 120
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026In my new 'job' as a Data Doctor on #Wikitree while sourcing orphaned profiles.in Kent, I found this 👇. In 1901, the Kennett family had taken Florence in as a 'nurse child'. By 1911 she had been adopted by them. I couldn't find her birth registration. #genealogy 140
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This is the old plan for our house and garden in November 1984 when it was the Kreiskulturhaus Treptow. The Coach House was used as a music school. More about it in my short video talk at #AATP #Puschkinallee5 #OnePlaceWednesday 141

XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026My 2x great grandfather was a coachman at Kirtlington Park in Oxfordshire. He made enough money to start up his own stables in Leamington after he got married. 010
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026But there were perks too, and the pay wasn't bad once you'd risen up the hierarchy into the upper servant level, like ladies maid, butler, or housekeeper. Sometimes you were even allowed to marry. 111
XanthH @xanthh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Wonderful @nwkfhs.bsky.social zoom talk yesterday evening by Judy Hill on the life of servants in the Victorian period in Britain. Sounded pretty grim, but better than the mines, factory or being an ag lab. #genealogy 131
