Thank you very much Jane ☺️

Lovely! Could this have been for a West Gallery choir/instruments rather than the congregation because the congregation doesn’t usually sing anthems. And the triangle shape would make sense for musicians standing in a horseshoe shape. Plus, the choir would be more likely to have a hymnbook.

Sounds great - apart from the assignment bit!

Love it!

Those are lovely names!

That’s my middle name!
(And this is giving me Deja vu - have we talked about this before?)

I’m wondering how Myrt knows that Hannah’s maiden name was Hudson?
I think she’s right to question the baptism in Sunningwell. That is very close to me and it’s 35 miles from Bisham.

It sounds made up, doesn’t it? Really lovely. I guess far back your ancestors were garderobes for nobility.

In 1925 her daughters May and Gertrude made national news as 'WATER-DIVINING WOMEN' after Chelmsford Council employed them to help find water supplies. They used a hazel twig to detect possible locations.

Wow! It seems to me that American ancestors have the most characterful names.

Love it! Where did he get the name Wardrobe, do you know?

My husband also has the more interesting ancestors. But I can claim them as mine now!

Those names are delightful.
It seems to me that the ladies often had the most interesting names, thought Mordecai is giving them a run for their money!
