In 1897, England celebrated its first-ever Diamond Jubilee, honouring Queen Victoria's 60 years on the throne.
For this challenge, we have 4 tables: The first two are for children born with the names "Diamond Jubilee". The third is for people living in buildings named "Diamond Jubilee", and the fourth is an extra that includes those who were living in the Queen's household in 1881.
Our job is to create profiles and add some family members for these people (getting them connected is a bonus!).
As always, don't forget to source! ;)
But above all, Have Fun!
Update 17th June, we started with 30 children, 8 have been completed. There were 12 properties listed with Diamond Jubilee addresses, 4 have been cleared; and we started with 14 members of the Royal Household from the 1881 census, and have completed 7 of them.
Children with first and second names 'Diamond Jubilee' (their gender is shown in brackets after their name).
Please create a profile for each child, add some family members, and if possible, connect them to the global tree.
