Fifty years ago today:
The single biggest act of barbarism to identities of #HistoricCounties .
Not because they were abolished (they weren’t) or their boundaries changed (they weren’t)
But because Govt called new admin zones ‘counties’ - and allowed them to masquerade as such.
We are very pleased to announce this year's date for our Family & Local History Fair - Saturday 26 October 2024, at a new venue, a short walk from the railway station. Wide range of exhibitors, talks, help with research etc. #SocietySunday greenheadfreemasonshall.co.uk
Happy International Women's Day! Especially to the women from my family that are no longer with us - all inspiring and very important to me. Their stories won't be forgotten. #Ancestry #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistory
My birthday was on Sunday, and it is a date shared by my 2 x Great-grandfather, Ernest James Hall, who was born exactly 120 years before me. Here are some photos of him. #Ancestry Hour #Ancestry #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Today marks 170 years since the marriage of my 4 great-grandparents - Henry Hopkinson and Agnes Law. Bankruptcy, anti-vaccine sentiment, vicious dogs, tragic deaths and a Butcher's shop give us a uniquely clear picture of their marriage. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ancestry
Why is Kirklees Council approving grants in Huddersfield to look after privately owned Listed Buildings, when it can’t even look after the Listed Buildings it owns?
Like Batley Library, Batley Baths, Batley, Dewsbury & Heckmondwike Twin Chapels? huddersfieldhub.co.uk/kirklees-counc…

I would be grateful if any organisation - family history society, library, archive etc. that has current or recently cancelled access to a library edition of FindmyPast UK would email our society at [email protected] please. Many thanks.
The journey now a little different from York being a bus and 2 trains (thanks to engineering works!) but I’m now on my way to this years fair Huddersfield & District Family History Society! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ancestry
