On This Day in NOVEMBER .....

[genjen]

Nothing from me for the next few days but do keep adding yours. It would be nice to hear any stories, or snippets of their lives, when you post your ancestors' BMDs.

Oops forgot 13 November - electricians in who turned off power, then I went out to The Magic Circle in London.

My 3 x g.g.uncle and aunt married in 1786
My OH's 3 x g.g.uncle and aunt married in 1786 (not the same couple as above)
My 7 x g.g.grandfather was baptised in 1690
My 3 x g.g.uncle died in 1881
My last surviving aunt died in 2011

And the most important it was one of my son's birthday.

For today, I have

My 2 x g.g.aunt and uncle married 1874
My 7 x g.grandfather was baptised 1630
My 2 x g.g.uncle was baptised 1852
My 7 x g.g.aunt died 1680
My 2 x g.grandfather died 1877

And my younger brother (now sadly deceased) married 1981.

My OH also has ancestors with events this day.

On this day in 1948 .............Prince Charles was born

[Lydart]

YES !    I have a calendar ....

And it shows me I've missed:

9th November 1871, birth of my Great Aunt Lizzie's husband, George Walmsley Stubbs; he went to Canada about 10 years before she did; they married in 1899 and spent a few years travelling in a covered waggon, looking to buy a homestead in Montana or the Canadian prairies, and the same waggon in which she gave birth to a couple of her children.   He was from Manchester originally; she from Hampshire.   They bought a quarter in Saskatchewan where they first lived in a sod house, and then a wooden house, before moving to retire in B.C.  

It all sounds very 'Little House on the Prairie' !!



And by coincidence, his grand-daughter Kay was born on the same date, exactly 70 years later.
