Granny's Tales and Treasures
This month there are two new additions to Granny's Tales. First, there are memories of holidays up until 1993. You can read these here. Then there is the story of my great grandmother, Fanny Thomasine Bishop, who was born in Cornwall but who later moved to Plymouth. Her life was laced with tragedy, with seven of her ten children dying in infancy but it is a story that deserves to be told. Scroll down on this page for the link to her story.
This month's additions to Granny's Tales include the next installment of the Howe Family Story, taking them from rural Buckinghamshire south
London and elsewhere. I have also popped an item about historic games to the Treasures collection.
I have now used more than 70% of the available pages. I think that gives me another year before I will have to work out how to keep adding more family history, heirloom stories and memories. There are options, none of which are perfect but I will choose the least worst one and continue to add more information.
An eighth of my ancestry comes from Buckinghamshire. This month's addition tells just part of the story, that of my 3x great grandparents Robert and Charlotte Howe née Chilton and their family who lived in Great Kimble. You can read this here.
I have also added to the Treasures page with the story of William Dawson's carpentry.
