The Lighter Side / Re: Genealogical novels on offer on Kindle
« on: Monday 29 December 25 08:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hiding the past is a good one to start with. It's the first one in the Morton Farrier series and although each book has a self contained story there is a background story which runs through the series so it's good to read them in order.  I also enjoy the Jayne Sinclair Genealogical books by M J Lee
Happy reading!

There is a new Nathan Dylan Goodwin - Morton Farrier - book published in November 2025. The Hop Picker Murders. It is £18.99 for the Hardback and £6.99 for the Kindle version. Both available from Amazon.
A bit pricey unless you have Christmas money/vouchers to spend and want to treat yourself.  :) :)

Happy reading folks,

Dorrie
Hahaha
I did treat myself  :)  I'm really enjoying it!

There is a John Thomas Mills on the 1911 census whose occupation is a commercial traveller

His wife is called Annie but it seems her maiden name is Ashton (checked on GRO with birth reg of the children)

Westmorland / Alice Robinson bap 1808 Crosby Garrett
« on: Saturday 25 October 25 13:22 BST (UK)  »
Alice Robinson was my 3xgreat grandmother, baptised 6 March 1808 at Crosby Garrett.  Her parents were Benjamin Robinson and Mary Gibbon.
Benjamin died in 1825 and Mary remarried to Henry Bolt.

Back to Alice.....she had 2 illegitimate children, Benjamin Robinson (bap 18 October 1829) and Joseph Robinson (bap 7 January 1835), both baptised at Crosby Garrett.
In the 1841 census, the two boys are living with their grandparents, Mary and Henry Bolt in St Andrew Auckland in Co Durham, but no sign of their mother Alice.

Can anyone see a marriage or a death for Alice Robinson?

Many thanks

The Common Room / Re: Job advertising

Thank you for all the comments. Very interesting. The girls were often so young when they started working away from home. Some of my relatives met and married local men and settled in the area where they had gone to work
Thanks again
