Designing and building ships in Nelson's time:
(1/14) The vessels of the Royal Navy were built in various dockyards across Britain. The designs were produced by the master-shipwrights of the dockyard. They usually worked in their studio known as the "mould-loft", situated not far from the dry docks and building slips.

The final part in the story of the six brave men that died near Nantwich in Cheshire, trying to defuse a bomb that was dropped during WW2. This brings to a conclusion, eight months of research.

After a bit of a hiatus, I’ve been putting the finishing touches to a new blog for the weekend. It’s all about 18th century research & involves some more unusual sources such as poll books and land tax records. That said, the three wills I found were the best! 😁#AncestryHour

Hey, #AncestryHour: In the US, itʻs #FamilyHistory month so enjoy how Hawai’i-local, IslandNews, @KITV4 has made it hyper-local by interviewing a broadcaster’s “auntie.”
It doesnʻt get more local than that. 🥹
A 🎩-tip to @FamilySearch

Day #13 of #31DaysOfGraves is #MementoMori day and I’m looking forward to seeing all the posts.
My contribution is this stone from Abercorn Kirkyard in West Lothian.
I love the simplicity of it.
A skull and crossbones and the words MEMENTO MORI.
And nothing else…
