Virtue - now there's a name to live up to!

Today in 1833, William Raitt was born in Old Machar, Aberdeenshire. He was my 3 x great uncle.

In 1909, Henry Bushby died in Raby, Co. Durham. Another 3 x great uncle.  (Reminder to self - Next time I am driving past Raby, I must go and check out the graveyard. )

And on this day in 2007, my first great-niece was born. I am sending her lots of love and birthday wishes. She is having a Hogwart's feast instead of a party and the cake her mummy has made is beyond belief! Sadly, I shan't get to sample it.

Son #2 made a slightly ahead of schedule arrival today in  1971........just in time for a late lunch!   He's celebrating with a trip to the Good Food Show.

1874 - Winston Spencer Churchill was born

1941 - My father was shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg. He was taken prisoner of war. He survived - otherwise I would not be here to tell the tale

Born today in Shoreditch in 1879 a 1st cousin 2R, Susan Maria Read;  daughter of James and Rachel Maria (nee Barham). Susan was baptised in 1881 at Christchurch, Hoxton.  She married Thomas Garrett at St.Philip the Evangelist, Islington in May 1899.  So far I've found 3 children born to the couple. Susan died in 1958 in Leytonstone.

Yes, I only joined in April and would like to add the ones I missed, so reviving each month's thread sounds good to me!

Congratulations genjen for originating a year of interesting tales and prompting a new research database. I’ll not be copying any more dates/events from these threads to Ancestral Anniversaries – those from last November are already there, so you can readily see what has already been posted. And as well congrats on the new descendent.
