I have not contributed recently - bit of a family crisis diverted me. My Mum was
rushed into hosptial with a ruptured bowel. She is ok now, but my parents are about
225 miles away so visiting the hospital was a bit time consuming!
Anyway, while chatting to my Dad the other night we ended up looking through a load
of old family papers - birth and marriages certificates etc. On my grandmother's
birth certificate I found out that my great grandfather's profession was a
"labourer at coke ovens".
Needless to say, this transformed my next SG session, with me now visualising life in
the 1890s/1900s shovelling around the coke ovens....
If I keep digging round the archives I might find the ancestral lumberjack, and those
14 minutes will never be the same again!
