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

Is anyone else taking part in @fachrs.bsky.social’s nurses project? I’ve made a list of nurses from my #OnePlaceStudy & #FamilyHistory to research. Probably won’t have time to do them all, but I’ll see how far I get #OnePlaceWednesday

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.
The story of Brick Kiln Farm (and those who lived there) continues on Heather Etteridge’s Great Ellingham One-Place Study website, with two posts added so far this month. Some #OnePlaceStudy reading for you on #OnePlaceWednesday!

If you are an AGRA @agragenealogy.bsky.social member or associate with an interest in how places and communities influenced the lives of our ancestors, the Association’s Spring Study Day at Ely on May 16th, on the theme of Community and Landscape, will be of interest! #OnePlaceWednesday

…I’m definitely not doing fully-fledged #StreetStudies, but I’m looking at the censuses & newspapers, & (for 1 of the streets), the 1910 Valuation Act,& looking for themes & stories to bring the stories to life. I’m looking forward to pulling these snippets of history together 2/2

You’ve heard of quick & dirty trees for DNA - I’m doing a couple of quick & dirty #StreetStudies for a forthcoming #FamilyHistory trip! I’ll be visiting 2 locations where few/none of the original buildings exist, so I need to ignite my imagination another way… 1/2

Society for One-Place Studies webinar. Tuesday 14 April 2026, 8 for 8.30pm UK time. Image: Photo of an old drinking fountain and water trough in the village of Birchington. The drinking fountain has a small, tiled cover over it looking almost like a miniature church spire. The trough, in front of the fountain as we look at the scene, has several plants, bearing masses of pink flowers, planted in it. A road, cars, shops and houses can be seen in the background. Superimposed on the image are the words: From OPS to Heritage Open Day, with Alexandra Gilbert. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Members! Our next #OnePlaceStudies webinar, From OPS to Heritage Open Day with Alexandra Gilbert (who conducts a #OnePlaceStudy of Birchington in Kent), takes place next Tuesday, April 14th. #OnePlaceWednesday

#OnePlaceWednesday Image: Photo of a small corner of a churchyard, with flowering Daffodils of at least two and possibly three varieties. Behind the flowers, part of the church can be seen; above them and to the left is part of a Yew tree, and below them is the stone wall forming part of the ha-ha which surrounds the church and its yard. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.
Daffodils in a quiet corner of the churchyard in my local #OnePlaceStudy, to kick off #OnePlaceWednesday. Use the hashtag to post about anything relating to #OnePlaceStudies, and to tell us about the places your #FamilyHistory / #LocalHistory / #OnePlaceStudy research has focussed on recently.

Interested in researching #HouseHistory in Lawrence, Douglas County, #Kansas? How do I research my house? on the Lawrence Public Library website has an overview of sources that can be used, many of which span the county or state (and which would help with #OnePlaceStudies too!). #OnePlaceWednesday

Contacting the One-Placer who conducts the parish OPS to sound them out might be a good idea. You could also check with Steve Pickthall, who registers new #OnePlaceStudies and, as our webmaster, sets them up on the website, and ask for his thoughts / guidance. #OnePlaceWednesday

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

Photo of York Minster, with various brick-built residential and commercial buildings, plus a few tress, in the foreground.
Two new collections added by #Ancestry, which may help with #FamilyHistory, #LocalHistory & #OnePlaceStudies in (and beyond) #Yorkshire:
● Prerogative & Exchequer Court of York Wills, 1389-1858
● Yorkshire, Bishops’ Transcripts of Baptism, Marriage & Burial Registers, 1558-1912

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 People doing #OnePlaceStudies note, these are wills proved in Yorkshire, not just by people from Yorkshire. I'll be looking for more of my husband's Nottinghamshire people this weekend. (People from those lines came through Sheffield on the way to the US.)

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

A boost for #FamilyHistory / #OnePlaceStudies in Oxfordshire, and potentially also #HouseHistory research in Oxford itself, as #Oxfordshire Family History Society delivers an Update to the Big Oxfordshire Names Database (BOND) in March 2026. OFHS membership required to access. #OnePlaceWednesday

Excellent news for fans of #FamilyHistory or #HouseHistory (or wider #OnePlaceStudies, which draw on many of the same sources) in #Norfolk!
