On This Day in June........Tell us about your ancestors' anniversaries

[genjen]

These months don't half go quickly, don't they.

So, here we are in June so please carry on with all your ancestral BMDs and other special occasions.

I have only one birthday to mark today and that is of a 1st cousin x 3, Elspet Cruikshank Raitt, who was born in Monymusk on 1st June 1874.

Today my lovely daughter is entering her first 10k race and just to make things more difficult for herself she has opted for one which goes across open fellside as well as tarmac roads. I shall be there, cheering her on and making sure there is a photographic record of the occasion.

Just bookmarking - I enjoy watching this thread!

Hope your daughter does/did well Jen.

Edward was buried at St Mark's Bredbury.

HIs Widow Ann, 12 years his senior (though she must have fibbed about her age as always too young on censuses when with him) lived until 1940

Two births today:

My 2xgt. aunt Matilda Burgess born in 1859 in London;  daughter of Robert Richard and Elizabeth (nee Gandy). I can fidn her with the family on 1861/1871 census but after that....a possible marriage and early death but I've not bought the certs to confirm.

My gt. uncle, Richard Henry Kingsman, born in 1908 in Kensington;  son of John and Annie (nee George). He married Kathleen Mary Haddow in 1937 and died in 1949. He worked for a surgical instrument maker.

On 1st June 1828 my 4xG grandfather Henry Downs died in Bo'ness. He was a baker and married to Janet Richardson. I'm sure there were more children but the only ones I have so far are Jane (my 3xG grandmother), Robert, Henry and Richardson. My Downs are still a work in progress but I think he was born in Falkirk. While in Bo'ness last year hunting down the grave of my 4xG grandparents, I came across that of his grandson, could only be him as I am sure there wouldn't be many with the first name Walkinshaw. This grave told me that this grandson lost 5 children between 1848 and 1858.

In 1862 my 3 x great grandfather, Joseph Sewell, died in Shoreditch, London, aged 90.  He was born in Appleby, Westmorland, into a family of coopers, a trade which he continued after he came to London some time in the late 1700s.

My aunt, Doris Giovannelli Wilson, married Stanley Arthur Whitnell Wilson in 1929, in West Ham.  They were not related, so she didn't change her name on marriage.
