About this page:
n.b. Only the most recent 150 items in each category are shown, if more than 150 have been added / changed in the past 60 days.
In time this should more accurately show what is genuinely new to this site.
At present the usefulness of this page is reduced at times by the amount of tidying up I am doing - e.g.
if I change place names to a consistent format (county, not showing
England etc.) a person will show on this page the same as if they were
totally new to my tree. Similarly if I change the description, even
slightly, e.g. to correct punctuation, that accompanies a photo, that photo will appear here as new!

The tithing of firewood in Warehorne Sometime after Basil Becon's time as Parson of Warehorne there was a dispute about the tithing of firewood felled in the parish. Basil was a deponent in the case (gave evidence by answering a series of questions). I find these of interest in telling us a little about his time in the parish. | 12 Dec 2024 |

(probably a 9 x great uncle of mine) John's will is one of the few family wills I have found in which details of furniture and furnishings are given. I particularly enjoy reading these. As well as that, he thought about his wife's need for wood for fuel. John left a bequest to just one sibling, Susan, not counting a possible bequest to his brother Richard, which seems more of a payment / thanks for taking care of his daughter Margaret. Most of his estate was to go to his 2 surviving… | 12 Dec 2024 | |
