Unusual name for the groom in a parish register from 1823 in Cheadle, Cheshire, England. Wonder how he lived that one down! #Genealogy #History #ancestryhour #Cheshire

The Queen is sending a private message of condolence to the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore. Her Majesty very much enjoyed meeting Captain Sir Tom and his family at Windsor last year. Her thoughts and those of the Royal Family are with them.

The vicar of Davenham church in Cheshire in 1800 must have realised the importance of #Genealogy . Not only did he provide both parent's names and parishes in the register of baptisms but also all four grandparents too. #familyhistory
