Jean Sabeston may have married James Whelan #OnThisDay 12 Sept 1868 in Greenock. Born 8 May 1835 to James Sabeston and his wife Jean Wilson, North Walls, #Orkney, #Scotland (living in Mill Bay area 1861 Census). Marriage record has her mother as Wason rather than Wilson, age 30 rather than 33, but husband younger. Dead before 1871 Census. Is it her? #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlace10 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Geneadons

@SocOnePlaceStudies considering 10 people from my original group, a lot of work if I pick them in fairly strict 10th of the population order. Or ten #OnThisDay posts. #OnePlace10 #OnePlaceStudy

Cathrine Wilson was baptised #OnThisDay 11 Sept 1854 in Walls #Orkney #Scotland, daughter of Robert Wilson and Jean McIntyre, Crockness. Born 24 March. Her father Robert was "drowned by the upsetting of a boat with peats betwixt Graemsay & Stromness" on 18 April 1854. #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlace10 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Geneadons

There were 66 straw plaiters in Orphir in the #1841Census. In contrast, I found none at all in my #OnePlaceStudy, North Walls and Brims, #Orkney, but plenty of stocking knitters; none in the rest of the parish either. A difference between mainland and insular Orkney maybe? @fionaorkneynews @geneadons @orkney

Feels that today will be productive in working on more newspaper transcriptions for my #OnePlaceStudy of Cuckfield

One of my favourite things is when I sit down to research someone who's little more than a name and suddenly they come to life. Today I discovered that a chap who lived in my house during the 1880s went on to become a popular local nature writer with 10 years of monthly newspaper columns. There was a great outpouring of grief when he died in 1915. Frederick Ford ('FF') I am looking forward to learning more about you!

@SocOnePlaceStudies yes, very different here. Thanks for the tips. Is it all just one feed and no separate "Following ". Wanting to focus on #OnePlaceStudy #FamilyHistory #Genealogy and #Ancestry

It's #OnePlaceWednesday and I've blogged! I challenged myself to write a concise #HouseHistory of one of the cottages in my #OldnallEnd #OnePlaceStudy and this is the result: https://oldnallend.uk/2023/08/30/roll-up-roll-up-and-join-the-experiment-to-find-out-if-i-can-write-a-house-history-in-less-than-20000-words/

Finally finished my first recording (of two) for #AllAboutThatPlace and I can see I have more work to do in the ‘find a flattering thumbnail’ department #yikes #LocalHistory #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlaceStudies #HispanicBritain

@AllThoseBefore Sad this young man died young, glad you're sharing his story more widely. #FamilyHistory #OnePlaceStudy

Who was Trooper Jesse Standen, and where did researching his memorial tablet lead me? You can find out here: https://www.allthosebefore.org.uk/2023/08/28/jesse-standen/ (sharing on other platforms) #TunbridgeWells #SecondBoerWar #OnePlaceStudy

Starting my first One Place Study, looking at #Waterfall in #Staffordshire, where my maternal ancestors lived until the 1860s.

Been thinking for a while of doing a #OnePlaceStudy for either Waterfall in #staffordshire , my maternal family's home, or #Aldeburgh in #Suffolk, my paternal ancestors home. That's already been started, but the owner did offer to let me take over. Not sure I've got the skills and experience though, and I don't live near either.

OK, folks - confession time. As some of you know (from here and elsewhere) I’ve been toying with the idea of a #OnePlaceStudy. Having now read that the area was “populated by travellers, the very poor, and Italian street musicians with their monkeys” I can’t resist diving in.

Not the most profitable day but I’ve found yet another Master Mariner from my #OnePlaceStudy area in #Orkney. Started as a ship’s carpenter but went on to get his Master’s ticket. Died in Newcastle having gone back to carpentery (on land I think) in later years. #MerchantSeamen
