Thinking of exploring English / Scottish / Welsh #LocalHistory to augment and contextualise your #FamilyHistory (perhaps with a #OnePlaceStudy in mind)? If so, Pharos Tutors has a course for you. Next course starts April 13th and runs for 4 weeks.

By the numbers: How Waters Upton’s doors got their digits (Part 2) ⇐ Back to Part 1 An important development in the history of house numbering outside London was the enactment of the Towns Improvement Clauses Act of 1847 ⇗. This legislation “comprised in one Act, …

And in the 1910-1915 electoral registers, house names used for a while – after residents were compelled to use house names or numbers from 1909 – but which were then abandoned in favour of numbers. I may have to follow up my “By the numbers” #OnePlaceStudy blog post with a Part 3! #OnePlaceWednesday

Head still spinning at all the new info in these electoral registers and possible further research. Absent voters lists may shed light on #WW1 service of some Waters Upton men. So many names of short-term between-census residents not in my #OnePlaceStudy 'tree' to follow up. 1/2 #OnePlaceWednesday

It would though be a great way to get material relating to the school and your #OnePlaceStudy online, for those with an interest in Sudbourne who are not Society members and so would not see the Destinations article! #OnePlaceWednesday

Great Ellingham One-Place Study. Image: Photo looking along a village street on a sunny, blue-skied day. On the left is a two-storey, four-bay cottage with white walls and a tiled roof, with further cottages and their gardens further along that side of the street. On the right, part of another building with white walls can be seen in the foreground, with the spire-topped tower of the village church a little further long the street, partially hidden by a couple of trees. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

This month Heather Etteridge has added two posts to her Great Ellingham #OnePlaceStudy website, both relating to Brick Kiln Farm. Check out Heather’s March 2026 blog posts on this #OnePlaceWednesday!

Researching #FamilyHistory, #LocalHistory or a #OnePlaceStudy in #Suffolk? If so, you may find this recorded talk helpful. 🙂

Yesterday, I continued this work by transcribing about 130 residents who were living in St. John's Square, Wakefield in the 1871 Census. Again there is no house numbers but it is possible to work out the number for some as they appear in a later census where house numbers are given.

International Women's Day For International Women's Day this year I'm focussing on one middle-class woman whose life certainly didn't turn out as expected.

Could free access to 59 of Ancestry UK’s record sets from 8 to 18 March help your #FamilyHistory or #OnePlaceStudy research? WDYTYA Magazine’s article has details of some of the key records available.

In between the rugby excitement I’ve been working on a small subset of my #OnePlaceStudy people across the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses. Interesting set of returners - there in 1851, away in 1861, back in 1871. #NorthWallsAndBrims #Orkney

That website is a treasure trove for information about pubs in Kent! It’s so valuable for my #OnePlaceStudy.

My current #OnePlaceStudy project is the Lloyd George Domesday Book. Adding it into a spreadsheet so I can analyse it and then map it. This might take a while, I know there are over 900 records, I am on 72…….

Did smuggling take place in your English or Welsh #OnePlaceStudy in the early 1700s?

Completed transcribing about 200 entries from the 1881 Census onto a spreadsheet last night for the residents of St. John's Square, Wakefield. For some of the residents I could allocate a house number as they were still living there in 1891.

A popular Regiment in my #OnePlaceStudy. I already have Vols. 2 & 3.

You’d think that having visited my #OnePlaceStudy of #Sudbourne the week before last, & spending 2 days in the archives, that I’d have loads to share. But I’ve made so many discoveries that it’s taking me a while to sort all my photos out & analyse the content!

I’m hoping that shoes can pass as clothes for the purposes of this prompt 🤞🏻 There seems to be a high proportion of shoemakers in my #OnePlaceStudy. I might look at neighbouring villages for comparison #OnePlaceWednesday

Karen Averby @karenaverby.bsky.social has registered her Kings Norton Green One-Place Study! Researching the Medieval & other buildings here—which reflect the social, economic and architectural history of The Green—will hopefully reveal stories of the people associated with them. #OnePlaceWednesday

What roads are in your #oneplacestudy as I know St John’s featured in my family research. Do you know exactly where the new burial ground for St John’s is located that is mentioned in 1924 newspaper article I saw
