When I started my family history journey in the 1970s I
concentrated on my main line ancestors, but with the datasets and digital
images available online by such providers as ancestry.co.uk and findmypast.co.uk I
have recently started to research what happened to the siblings, and their descendants, of my great grandparents. Some from Dorset, Hertfordshire and Suffolk went to London UK in search of work, especially from the mid 1850s with the advent of the railways which made
travelling quicker, and easier, if not less expensive.
Some of the Dorset family went to Newfoundland and Canada;
some Hertfordshire families joined the Navy or the Army, whilst one of the London
family went to Australia, by choice, not as a convict!
However, what I have decided to share this time is some
research I did on a relation called Lily Ingle, who visited my Mum’s family in
Hitchin, Hertfordshire the 1920s. My Mum
and Aunties could not quite remember where she fitted in the family. This research led to finding out about the
Keighley1 Connection which was published in Hertfordshire People in 2018.
