I hope all are well or making improvement.
The weather was pleasant and warm yesterday (hot weather seems to have gone), but got a bit of exercise in locally, fortunately little traffic, quite surprising really, as most driveways have 2-3 cars, some up to 5 cars. Some newish cars stand idle most of time.
I must be the odd one out, I did drive and ride a motobike but had to return my Licence due to a brain condition which is a bit similar to absences and falling asleep (epilepsy was ruled out), so no car here.
Been researching those present at Marriages and feel that someone I believed to be an ancestor in the same town actually is. Trouble is with nonconformism and Mariners, they didn't always bother to baptise their children! There is some other evidence in a tree I have put together from the Census, Civil Certificates, Parish Registers, scans of property registrations, Muster Rolls, newspapers, Family Deeds held by a Solicior and Wills showing a link and also showing my known family were present at the marriages of the descendants of the suspected family, with matching signatures. But extensive tracing and forensic comparing signatures.
It gets my family back to a Marriage of 1731, ties in with information from my late Grandmother and with their ages on the Licence to a birth of about 1707. There is another name on the Marriage Bond and Allegation, but it could be his Brother or Father.
Mrs P and my daughter had to call the breakdown as the car suddenly wouldn't turn over and start, the chap in the tow truck got it going immediately with a mobile pack
. New battery fitted now, so let us hope the battery was the problem.
We went food shopping last Monday (England) and everyone in the supermarket (except for one unknown person) had their masks back on again.
My Stepdaughter lives in NZ and we heard NZ were having a 'circuit break' lockdown for a few days originally due to one case. Although NZ cases have since increased and their lockdown lengthened.
Just to show the difference to those in NZ, the UK had over 37,300 new daily infections and 114 deaths in the last 24 hours (announced Friday).
All the best, Mark
