I've hit a brick wall in tracing my family history. I've traced my paternal line back to 1712 when John Perry married Mary Booker in Sneinton, Nottingham. I can't find anything out about John prior to that and am therefore stuck. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks! #FamilyHistory #Ancestry

Two years ago, I pitched an idea for a postdoctoral fellowship project based on trade unions and countering the far right in the 1930s. I didn't make it through the initial stages, but I now feel it's more relevant than ever. Still up for it if anyone wants to fund it! #academia

I love this photo of my Gran, probably dating from the mid 1930s. I've only just noticed the jagged edge making it look like it's been ripped in half. Now I'm intrigued to know who else was in the photo! #FamilyHistorian #FanilyArchivist

Enjoying watching @profaliceroberts.bsky.social Greece by Train. Thessaloniki is one of my favourite cities in Greece and Athens is also fantastic. The Acropolis Museum would be the perfect place to display the 'Elgin Marbles'. It would be great to see them return home.

A retired GP has developed a theory as to where a mass grave containing the bodies of hundreds killed in a 1643 Civil War battle could be located.
Research suggests Wiltshire Civil War grave from 1600s
Hundreds of dead from the Battle of Roundway Down, Wiltshire, could lie in the mass grave.

A second Roman watering hole at Cemex’s West Deeping Quarry was even larger, with a diameter of over 10m. This one contained carved wooden timbers, with the largest 3m long, that could have formed part of a cart or structure. A 100kg of artefacts were discovered from the rest of the feature!

Excavations at Cemex Quarry, West Deeping revealed some incredible archaeology with the most recent work finishing in 2024. In one layer of this 5m wide Roman watering hole was a pewter plate, ceramic bowl and the remains of a well-preserved leather shoe.

Well this is rather exciting, opening on Tuesday at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. Spent this afternoon putting a montage of recent photos together for it. 🙂

Belchite, Aragón, damaged during the 1937 Republican and then destroyed by Francoist counteroffensive aided by the Condor Legion followed by 87 years of abandonment. The ruined church of San Martín de Tours standing there. Today's Francoist graffiti. Olive orchard in a landscape of war.

Felt the need to do some studying again. So decided to go for a Level 3 accreditation in Archaeology to go with the practical experience that I have gained over the past few years. 🙂

The Bath Inn, Nottingham, today. An inquest into the death of my 3x GGF took place in this pub, in 1897. He lived at 7 Bath Street with his daughter, Clara and died shortly after he had a fall in the house. He was in his 80s. #PubHistory #FamilyHistory
