I do have a few ancestors' anniversaries today but I am going to reserve this post to just the one. The phone rang this afternoon - my sister telling me that my uncle died this morning at the age of seventy-eight. He was the second youngest of my mum's five siblings. All of the others died some time ago so this is the end of a generation in my family. Tonight I am feeling very sad.

Sorry to read of your sad news Jen.

Two birthdays today:

My 2xgt. uncle, John Viney, born in 1841 in Monkton Combe, Somsrset;  son of Henry and Eliza (nee Elliott). He was baptised the following month at Prior Park.  John, like many of his family, became a stone mason. He moved to London, as did his brother William (my 2xgt.grandfather). I can find him on a census with wife Eliza and 3 daughters but not yet found a marriage.  Eliza died and John married Annie Biggs in 1892. John died in 1910.

My grandmother,Mary Joanna Kingsman, born in 1901 in Kensington;  daughter of John and Annie (nee George).  Mary was the 4th child out of a family of 10 and during WW1 worked in a munitions factory.  She married John Frederick Bernard Howard in 1921; two children were born but their son died aged 7 months.  Mary worked as an office cleaner for most of her life and died in 1983 in Poole, Dorset.

Hi Gengen,
I don't suppose there's a connection, but my 4 x great grandparents were Joseph Sewell and Esther Jackson, and they married in November 1770 in Brough under Stainmore, Westmorland.  Esther's father was William Jackson.  Of course, Jackson is a common name, but thought it was worth mentioning because of the location of both marriages.
Ann

I think it is more than likely that there is a connection. I shall have a look through my tree and see if I can work anything out but it's more likely that I'd have to make a trip down to the Westmorland archives which, although it is only a ten minute walk away, I rarely have chance to do! Maybe this is the excuse I need.

No-one in my tree has any anniversaries until later this month.

I hope you can find something interesting for us both!  I have quite a lot of information about the male line of Sewells, most of whom were coopers in Appleby, but I know very little about their wives.
