Inspired by genealogist Amy Johnson Crow I aim to write something about one of my ancestors every week for a year. Amy provides a suggested weekly prompt and I may follow this or may just pick an ancestor I'm interested in writing about. Where I've followed Amy's prompt I'll include this below. I've noted which of my 4 grandparents each person is an ancestor/ relative of, to try to ensure I spread the people chosen out across my tree.
Week | Week ending | Weekly theme (if followed) | Profile written/ re-written | Ancestor/ relative of which grandparent? |
1 | 7Nov2022 | - | William Hurt (bef.1793-bef.1864) | Muriel |
2 | 14Nov2022 | - | Henry John Wadsley Parker (1875-1938) | Warneford |
3 | 21Nov2022 | Tombstones | Mary (Finney) Gaskell (abt.1763-1799) | Muriel |
4 | 28Nov2022 | Wrong side of the law | William John Marles (bef.1874-1919) | Jane |
