The Lighter Side / Re: New series next week on the Beeb of Who Do You Think You Are?

Well ! Wasn't that fascinating ! One thing they didn't mention was that Judi's ancestor Tycho Brahe lost part of his nose in a duel, and wore a prothetic made of brass !

One of the craters on the moon is named after him (Tycho); you can easily identify it at full moon (from the UK) .... its the very bright crater near the 'bottom edge' of the moon.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Curioser and curioser ... my Dad has 2 birth records !

I'm now in email contact with jenjoburg !   I think we must be second cousins.   How delicious !!

There is such a lot to take in, and I know some of the info you kind people have put up, is inaccurate ... so I need to climb into my loft and find the FH files !!   One trouble of having only a few Christian names in one family !    Almost as bad as my other searches for John and Mary Williams in South Wales !!

HANHAM    Caroline Susan A        Fulham    1a   756   
POPLETT    Alfred                        Fulham    1a   756


I haven't checked the 1939 .....

Girl Guide .... this is getting very interesting indeed !

I need to go up into the loft and find all my FH stuff to see what I've got in the way of certificates, etc.

Intriguing !

So should my parents when they were married be using the surname Hanham .... and thus should my birth (two years after their marriage) be recorded with that surname ?   And should I have subsequently married (and divorced !) using the Hanham surname ?   Am I legal ?    ;D    ;D    ;D

Very interesting !!!

And I see Jenjoburg has only been on here once .... pity, as it would be good to contact her as we are distantly related !

Thank you for all the additional information.

I'll add it all to the page about the plate in the church inventory ..... when the church is open post Covid !

I'll give it a go, especially as its my daughters 50th birthday on 12th May, 2021 !   

I've kept diaries intermittently for 50 years and more, so this will be a bit different.


Certainly, a reminder nearer the time would be very useful !!
