Excellent!! It’ll be so good to see you. Maybe we can sneak a quick cuppa? ❤️

Has anyone come across a 'certified burial certificate' from the 18th century, and know what details might be included? I have found one for someone I'm researching, who died in Somerset in 1738. It's within the papers of another family (relationship unknown), at Somerset Archives.

Entry for Matthew Wilkes Geary in Ancestry's collection of London, England, Freedom of the City Admission Papers, 1681-1930.

Hmm 🤔
Never trust what you see in an index.

Matthew was not admitted to the Freedom of the City in 1820. He wasn't born until 1835!
It was actually his father who was admitted in 1820.

Matthew was admitted (by patrimony) in 1863.
Get it right Ancestry! 🙄

Wonderful records 😍

I've been researching since the early 1980s.
But remember it's not how long you've researched your #genealogy. It's whether you've tried to up your game and improve your skills that matters.

Ah thank you. And thank you for having me ❤️

Printed text, "Depriving Catherine of Royal Style"

Oh Henry VIII, no matter how much you proclaim it, you can't ever take away Catherine of Aragon's style. Have you not seen Six? She's a queen.

Bastardy examination from 1768 signed by R Sneyd

Payments made to bastards, 1819, including 'Sneyd William'

I use Google Docs for almost all my work and for filing digitised genealogical records. I noticed today that the search function now works with hand-written documents in my folders. A search for 'Sneyd' (a name I knew I had come across but couldn't place) found the name in these 2 records. V. handy!
