maybe -- we should all carry a 'victorian penny'  around and twiddle it around to remind us - we are addicted....  :)

As I said, you even see your parents as ancestors and research their schools, addresses etc. I found mum had a miscarriage before me and my brother was born, so they could have had 3 children.

Parents moved to G Yarmouth in Norfolk in 1975 and I even research their first address in the town there. I wish I could find them on the 1971 and 1981 census but will have to wait until 2071 and 2081.

LONDON, Coombs, Roberts, Auber, Helsdon, Fradine, Morin, Goodacre
DORSET Coombs, Munday
NORFOLK Helsdon, Riches, Harbord, Budery
KENT Roberts, Goodacre

SUFFOLK Titshall, Frost, Fairweather, Mayhew, Archer, Eade, Scarfe
DURHAM Stewart, Musgrave, Wilson, Forster
SCOTLAND Stewart in Selkirk
USA Musgrave, Saix
ESSEX Cornwell, Stock, Quilter, Lawrence, Whale, Clift
OXON Edgington, Smith, Inkpen, Snell, Batten, Brain

Yes there is that. For the house they settled in Rollesby and even their first address but they only lived there for a few months in 1975 so may not have lived long enough at the place to qualify.
