We’ve posted about prompts for your blog posts, now let’s highlight a post on *our* blog! In Queen Victoria’s Common Cohort: An Update🔗 Peter Burnhill talks about his quest to broaden the scope of the #Born1819 project, looks at the progress made, and explains how you can join in. #OnePlaceWednesday
The article referring to an 18 year old Victoria coming to the thrown in 1837 has helped me write a piece for my 18year old Rebecca Bond living life in the very different Cornish parish of St. Dominic’s for my #Born1819 project.
... and that's a wrap, thank you all new volunteers and old friends, lovely to see so many of you today

Checking in on all our lovely #ForgottenWomenFriday volunteers - how's it going
Interesting comparing the lives of the #Born1819 in Wem and Wells with Queen Victoria's life - VERY different
Sorry not to join #OnePlaceWednesdyLIVE today. I’m taking a road trip around the Cotswolds today. But hoping to catch up Friday for Peter Burnhills #Born1819. But finally got to #GloucesterCathedral
Baptism records in my place are poor 1810s/20s so I have no #Born1819 people in #NorthWallsAndBrims unless I uncover them by deduction.
I shall be looking at some of the #Born1819 women in my #StMaryBourne #OnePlaceStudy
The next #FewForgottenWomen collaborative research day is a week tomorrow - Friday 11 July. Inspired by @aldershot1853.bsky.social’s #Born1819 research, we will be researching women born in WellsNextTheSea or Wem in 1819 - the same year as Queen Victoria #GenHour
The next @afewforgottenwomen.bsky.social Friday looks a really interesting one
The link to volunteer for this amazing project is in the post below - its a perfect chance to get involved in some collaborative research

Definitely doing some of mine, got one done in January but plenty more women to do. 35 men & women #Born1819 in St Mary Bourne, most even have actual dates of birth too.
Wonderful! Thank you ☺️ This time we’re helping with @aldershot1853.bsky.social’s #Born1819 research. You can choose between a woman born in #WellsNextTheSea in Norfolk or Wem in Shropshire, or from your own #FamilyHistory or #OnePlaceStudy #GenHour

I’ve extracted the #Born1819 residents from the baptism register from my #OnePlaceStudy, and from my family history. Really looking forward to what @aldershot1853.bsky.social eventually draws from the results! #GenHour
#Born1819 So enjoying writing up my only true Victorian.
Rebecca Bond born one month before Victoria - Apr 1819 Tavistock. Her Methodist baptism with an emphasis on simplicity and personal faith, would have differed greatly to Victoria’s at Kensington Palace overseen by the Archbishop of Canterbury
Well that has opened up a can of worms - a quick look at the 1819 baptisms is showing a large proportion of the entries give the age of the infant eg 12 weeks, 1 month etc But many do not - wondering now - why not? Are they adults? Did they merely not ask? What is going on? #genealogy #born1819
In readiness for this month’s blogging prompt #Born1819 #OnePlaceCohorts I created a spreadsheet of people in my family history & one-place study born in 1819. To learn more about #Born1819 (& join in!) watch @aldershot1853.bsky.social’s talk

I bring you Harriet, daughter of William Sinden and Mercy, baptised in Holy Trinity church, Cuckfield, Sussex on 26th September 1819. @findmypast.bsky.social record her as being 17 weeks old.
Thanks for reminding me....I see I have two entries on my #OnePlaceStudy website for #Born1819
Made a start on this month's #OnePlaceCohorts and #Born1819 blog prompts. I now know who's on the list. Next up is researching some of them to share later this month.
