The elegance of St. John's North on the opposite side of Wentworth Street from my #OnePlaceStudy St. John's Square, Wakefield. Occasionally used as a film set. The first stone was laid in September 1791 of what was then to be called St. John's Street. The house at the eastern /1
Continuing the #AprilAtoZBloggongChallenge with letter C, featuring Loughborough, my #OnePlaceStudy lynneaboutloughborough.blogspot.com/2026/04/so-w...
The sign of a productive day at the archives! Mostly #OnePlaceStudy research, but some #FamilyHistory too. I only have one ancestor with a 50% chance of being ‘northern’ (& briefly lived there) & as I’ll be heading up north in May, I’ve written her life story. Just need to do her husband #GenHour
Phew! Managed to give you an article for letter B in the #AtoZBloggingChallenge focussing on #Loughborough my #OnePlaceStudy Enjoy! lynneaboutloughborough.blogspot.com/2026/04/so-w...
I completed the transcription of the 1841 Census last night with around 120 entries. I just need to review & select the next individual to research & write a blog for.
#OnePlaceStudy
We have at least one precedent, a #StreetStudy (of Pateley Bridge High Street) which falls within Pateley Bridge #OnePlaceStudy. I'm not sure how that came about or whether those who registered the studies liaise(d) with each other. Possibly. #OnePlaceWednesday
A question for #OnePlaceStudy people: what's the etiquette when you want to begin a study that falls within a registered study? In this case, a hamlet within a registered parish. Is that even acceptable as a separate study?
#OnePlaceWednesday
Nursling One-Place Study. Image: Extract from an old, large-scale Ordnance Survey map showing the Western part of the parish of Nursling. The area is mostly open fields, with a river to the West (marking the parish boundary there), other, smaller water courses, some minor roads, and a railway running North-South near the Eastern edge of the map extract. The small number of buildings include the church of St Boniface, the Rectory, a cottage named Meadowview, Manor Farm, and Nursling (Railway) Station. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
The second newly registered #OnePlaceStudy we have for you on this #OnePlaceWednesday is Ivan Hurst’s Nursling One-Place Study in #Hampshire. Ivan’s initial focus is on the 1840s, using Tithe Apportionments and the 1841 census as sources. Our link takes you to Ivan’s Nursling OPS web page.
Thanks to Jane Hough and The Family History Society of Cheshire for the news about this new record set on Ancestry. I don't have a full #OnePlaceStudy, but I am bringing what I learn from One-Placers to the FAN research I'm doing for my husband's family's Yorkshire lines. #OnePlaceWednesday
It’s not shown on the cover, but this issue also has an article on researching your #OnePlaceStudy during the time of the supercontinent Pangea. Everywhere being on a single landmass really puts changes to administrative boundaries, street names and house numbers in perspective. 😉 #OnePlaceWednesday
Time for the Batley St. Mary of the Angels update for 1-31 March 2026. The big news is there’s a new subject area, along with 3 new posts, signposted so you can find them. It means there are now 430 parish history pieces.

I've set myself an impossible challenge! #AprilA-ZBloggingChallenge I'm overstretched, and haven't been able to find suitable entries for all letters, but have decided to share what I've got, starting with 'A'! #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlaceWednesday lynneaboutloughborough.blogspot.com/2026/04/so-w...
Bourne End One-Place Study. Image: Photo of The Walnut Tree, a public house. The main building is a brick-built, whitewashed two-storey and two-bay house, with a red-tiled roof and flanking brick chimneys. There is a small, single-storey extension (also brick-built and whitewashed, with a red-tiled roof) on the left, and a single-storey wooden building which may be a function room. The tops of trees behind the buildings can be seen, and the sky is blue with white clouds. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
The subject of the Bourne End Bucks #OnePlaceStudy Society meeting on 16th April is Bourne End in the Movies. David Wherrell will show films from years gone by of Bourne End, including one of the 1965 Carnival. Starts 8pm. Free for BEBOPSS members, £4 for non-members. #OnePlaceWednesday
Crystal Lorimor’s #OnePlaceStudy of The Creighton Cabin in Belmont County, Ohio isn’t registered with us but her latest blog post, An Accidental Addition to a One Place Study, in which Crystal notes that “sometimes you solve mysteries in very unexpected ways”, is worth sharing on #OnePlaceWednesday!
Another way of looking at #OnePlaceVisitors is to seek out #OnePlaceStudy residents as visitors elsewhere. I have just found the Rev and Mrs Yonge of Waters Upton, as visitors staying at the Colwyn Bay Hotel in June 1905. #OnePlaceWednesday

Blogging and Social Media Prompt, April 2026: #OnePlaceVisitors. Image: Part of a Visitors' List from an old newspaper, showing addresses (in Rhyl) and the names of visitors staying at those residences. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Our #OnePlaceStudies blogging prompt for April is #OnePlaceVisitors. Who were the sojourners, travelling folk, itinerants, holidaymakers and other short-term residents or guests recorded in the records of your Place? Share their info and stories via blogs, vlogs or social media! #OnePlaceWednesday
On the way to my #OnePlaceStudy Another ferry to go after the current one and a quick visit to #Orkney Archive
Last night I started transcribing the 1841 Census for my #OnePlaceStudy St. John's Square, Wakefield.
#AncestryHour Big thanks to Jane! I just found a will I wanted for a mini #OnePlaceStudy / #OneNameStudy I'm doing to sort out a line in my husband's family tree.
Photo of a Cedar tree (possibly Cedrus libani, Cedar of Lebanon). Set in parkland, the tree is surrounded by green pasture on a gentle slope (which I was standing at the bottom of). Brown, rush-like vegetation in the foreground (centre and left) indicates wet ground. More trees, all leafless, are dotted around the grassland behind the Cedar, which has graceful, sweeping branches covered with green needle-like leaves. Above is a blue sky with thin white clouds.
One of Fawsley's stupendous Cedars for #ThickTrunkTuesday. A younger specimen than the one I usually photograph, this lacks the lakeside location but does look rather gorgeous when the light is right (as it was last Thursday). #NaturePhotography #UKWildlife #EKC #OnePlaceStudy #TreeTrunkTuesday 🌿
Now that I have completed the Pharos Researching Your Yorkshire Ancestors course, this weekend it was back to transcribing 133, 1851 census entries for my #OnePlaceStudy St. John's Square, Wakefield. This includes 5 uninhabited properties. 1851 was more of a challenge because /1
Having transcribed many wills for Colnbrook #OnePlaceStudy there are two inescapable facts. 1) Forever is a very long time. 2) Any will longer that four sheets is more likely to be followed by a court case. Even if it takes forever to bring the case! 😆
