After a long absence - A Moment in Time returns, I hope with daily toots. Today it's a picture from inside St. Hilda's in South Shields, England, a city at the mouth of the Tyne. This is where my mother's mother and her ancestors come from. This little lifeboat hanging from the ceiling of St. Hilda's as a tribute to the heroic lifeboat crews of the area. There is a full size South Shields lifeboat in the park - a thing of beauty.. .

A moment in time - 1820 - "The Census Taker". Those of us charting our family history will note, bitterly, that back in 1820 the federal census takers were only recording the names of heads of households, not the names and ages of other household members - something that makes the censuses prior to 1850 very tricky to use. There is a breakdown by sex and age range for the other household members, which isn't always helpful.
