Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?

[Rosinish]

Some interesting stories of all sorts 

A little spooky as my mother didn’t really know her parents, being 6 yrs when her father died & 7 yrs when her mother died……..

My maternal g/parents married 26 Dec
My maternal g/mother died 1948
My mother died 26 Dec 1984 (yr digits in reverse of her mother’s death)

My paternal g g/father b 18 Jul
My paternal g g/mother b 1864
My paternal g g/mother died 18 Jul 1946 (hubby’s birthday & own birth yr in reverse)

My paternal g/mother was b 1882 & my daughter born 100 yrs later 1982
(The only g/parent I met as the rest were gone before I was born)

I knew nothing about my paternal grandfather ,only that he had died in WW1, we didnt even know where he was born.
I ordered his birth certificate and had a strong feeling there would be a date coincidence,sure enough he has the same birthday as my son,then we discovered his sister shared my daughters birthday.
When we eventually visited the area he came from, I was driving and my sister said that we had passed the turnoff to his village, I immediately said,'we can get to it by turning down this road' I just knew it ,although I had never been there and sure enough we drove straight to it.
Just intuition no doubt.

My gran was born 20th May 1920, her older half brother, from her mums first marriage was born 20th May 1915. So concieved August 1914 and August 1919 respectively, prviding no slightly early births.

I have Sussex ancestors on mums side but I did wish for a direct ancestor who lived in Sussex but was from further up north. Then I found my Oxford born great gran on the 1911 census in Bexhill, Sussex.

My nan born 20 May 1920 was concieved around August 1919. Her father was examined by the doctor in his regiment and he was deemed unfit for further service, and demobilised for good in Sep 1919. Maybe they wanted to, ahem, celebrate him failing his army medical test as he had deserted a few times and served time in the Wandsworth army prison.
