52 ancestors Week 23 (June 3rd -9th ): Wedding

Image
Week 23 (June 3 rd -9 th ): Wedding From Amy Johnson Crow - June is a traditional month for "weddings" , so what better time to highlight the story of an ancestor's wedding? Maybe you've found something surprising in a marriage record or you have an ancestral "wedding" photo. As I have already used my parents “ wedding ” for the “long line” theme I am going to use another Lackey ancestor for this weeks theme of “ wedding ”. The couple pictured right are James (Jim) Gardiner Lackey and Eva Margaret Morley. They married in October 1949 in Willsden Middlesex. Jim was born on 4 th April 1910 in Houghton-le-spring, Durham, UK. He was the 4 th child out of 8 of Gardiner Lackey and Margaret Ann Liddle. Eva was born 22 nd May 1920 in Kensington, UK.

Week 11 (March 11th -17th ): Luck

Image
From Amy Johnson Crow - Do you have an ancestor who was lucky at something? Lucky to be alive? Lucky at cards? Lucky in love? Maybe you have an ancestor with a name that reminds you of luck or fortune. There's always "luck of the Irish." Maybe you have a story of how luck played a role in finding an ancestor. The theme of “ luck ” I have looked into all sorts of things – did I have anyone of that surname or a word that means “ luck ” such as fortune etc, any Christian names that meant “ luck ”, I couldn’t think of anyone that was “ lucky ” to be a live or “ lucky ” in cards/gabling etc, I do have Irish ancestors but again I can’t link them to “ luck ” or “ luck of the Irish”. The answer to all of these was a big NO! So it's not my “ lucky ” day. Then I sat and thought about my ancestry “ luck ” and decided this was the route I needed to go. I won’t say I’ve had “ luck ” on my side with the tree all of the time as I haven’t. Many times over the years I...

Week 3 – Long Line (Jan 15-21)

Image
Is there a trait or an occupation that seems to have been in your family tree for generations? Is there a line in your genealogy that's been in a particular place for a long, long time? Maybe you have Long as a surname. Be creative! From AJC This topic has taken a bit of thinking of what to write about. My first thought was do I have anyone named “Long” in the tree that I could use (1 lady who is distant relative so not much use or info), I then thought about how “long” it has taken me to do research and such BUT that doesn’t fit with the long line theme, so thinking cap back on and I thought about the longest line of the family tree going back to whoever, but the little voice in my head says “wont most people use this?” I then thought about the Lackey family occupation as boot & shoemakers as a long line, but it wasn’t really that long, so I decide to look at photos for inspiration and that’s when it hit me – My parents wedding photo’s loads of them had a “ Long Line ” ...
