#52Ancestors – Week 31 – Flew the Coop
This week's writing prompt is "Flew the Coop" – I talk about my great uncle, Louis E. Kenyon, his WWI experience, and a dream of owning a chicken farm.
#52Ancestors – Week 29 – Birthdays
The week 29 writing prompt (catching up) is "birthdays" – I write about an ancestor with whom I share a birth month and day, although I was born 122 years after she died.
#52Ancestors – Week 28 – Random
This week's writing prompt is "random" and it brought to mind my grandfather's and his siblings, and their ordered birthdays, which seem anything but random...

#52Ancestors – Week 27 – The Great Outdoors, Great Aunt Emma, part 2
This week's writing prompt is "The Great Outdoors" – I write more about my great aunt Emma Knaus Oliphant. Emma lived on a small farm, and the outdoors is a key theme in her diary entries.

My 13x great grand uncle was most likely John Philpot (c.1515-1555). Burned at the stake during reign of Queen Mary I for his Protestant beliefs, Smithfield, 18 Dec 1555. An Archdeacon of Winchester from Compton, Hampshire.
Having worked in PR, I've often had to reflect on what is 'news'. While other ancestors made the papers, Philpot's story felt bigger & was captured in writings, etchings & woodcuts for posterity. #genealogy

#52Ancestors Week 30: "In the News"
Two members of my family were involved in the horse-maiming case known as the Great Wyrley Outrages: Hollis Morgan, who was arrested on suspicion of the crimes a year after Edalji’s release and later married into my family, and William Stokes, my 2nd great grandfather, who was the policeman who arrested him.
I've written about their part in case here: https://familytree.thomaspreece.net/profiles/great-wyrley-outrages

#52Ancestors Week 29: "Birthdays"
The only reference I can find in my family tree to a birthday celebration is this rather unfortunate story from 1898 where Tom John was injured at a fairground on his birthday. It's interesting to read about the fairground - and also that in 1898 people apparently said "birthday anniversary" rather than just "birthday".
