Which date chronologically comes first? Registration must postdate event so that would narrow the possibilities.

I came across a similar calculation next to a parish register bapt entry, and now need to work out the significance of the later date - could be a clue to date of marriage or death.

Me too. The mass migration of Cornish husbands going abroad to work in the 19thC created some interesting challenges for the civil courts. I cover some cases in my book ‘The Married Widows of Cornwall’ but I think there is scope for more research on the topic.

I’ve always wondered about an 18thC warrant I came across while cataloguing that required the arrest of an couple of men, the second one being a John Doe.

Another excellent video. I share your frustration. I really don’t understand why Ancestry & others can’t use the original archive structure & give the ref. I spend at lot of time searching for the cover image and cross checking the archive catalogue to be able to reference my research properly.

Very excited about this. I had the pleasure of speaking at Secret Lives and it was such a great conference all round. Love the themes chosen for 2025.

My favourite sources for getting lost in.

That’s useful as I have rather too many ancestors than I would like in the black and purple streets!

Congratulations. Looking forward to reading this in relation to the Cornish wives that I’m interested in.

Phew! Thought I was losing the plot and had created a bizarre profile!

???? I don’t have any house histories or any connection to amgouldsomersetsuthor so I’m a bit confused.

Thanks. That’s great as I couldn’t stay on to hear the later talks. 😀

Thank you. Looking forward to engaging with the genie tribe over here.
