A #OnePlaceStudy can cover a single building (e.g. a house or institution), or larger areas and communities—including streets. #StreetStudies are a great way to combine #FamilyHistory and #LocalHistory, with lots of scope for fascinating finds amongst their people and properties. #OnePlaceWednesday

In my #OnePlaceWednesday news I’ve been given an amazing bundle of old Batley St Mary’s school photos for my #OnePlaceStudy. I’m in the process of sharing them to try to put names to faces. It’s probably going to take several months to post them all, but 3 done so far

Great Ellingham One-Place Study. Image: Photo looking along a village street on a sunny, blue-skied day. On the left is a two-storey, four-bay cottage with white walls and a tiled roof, with further cottages and their gardens further along that side of the street. On the right, part of another building with white walls can be seen in the foreground, with the spire-topped tower of the village church a little further long the street, partially hidden by a couple of trees. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
A #OnePlaceWednesday reminder that on Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th April, our member Heather Etteridge is staging a free #LocalHistory exhibition relating to her #OnePlaceStudy of Great Ellingham in #Norfolk: Every House has a Story – Every Story has a Family! 10am—4pm each day, at St James’s Church.

For her #OnePlaceStudy of the Woodlark (passengers arriving at Wellington, 1874), @cathyclarke77.bsky.social Catherine Clarke has just published a profile of Honora McCarthy (1853 - 1902). Honora made many appearances in court – and therefore also in the newspapers. #OnePlaceWednesday

a couple of churches at or near to Retford in North Nottinghamshire are having anniversaries in 2027
I wonder if anyone might wish to start the second One Place Study within Nottinghamshire ?

It has been a week of procrastinating & looking through many spreadsheets to identify a new resident to blog about for my #OnePlaceStudy St. John's Square, Wakefield. I believe I have now identified a person. In the meantime you can read the 6 previous blogs here: www.ancestralenquiries.co.uk/blog

Photo of St Michael and All Angels Church, Pirbright. It has a stone-built tower with a small spire, with the rest of building constructed partly in brick and partly in the same grey-coloured stone as the tower.
Richard Hartley has been carrying out a #OnePlaceStudy of #Pirbright in Surrey for the last five years – check out his website. On Thursday May 14th, Richard will give a talk on Writing a one-place study of Pirbright to the Woking Group of the West Surrey #FamilyHistory Society. #OnePlaceWednesday
