Tell us a little bit about who you are, and where you're from and we want to know: 1. Who you’re researching 2. Where they’re from (if you know) 3. And what you’re stuck on (or hoping to learn) Ask a question, even if it's basic. There is no such thing as a silly genealogy question here!

How would everyone feel if I started posting ‘individual’ biographies of famous people and their family history stories? Taking inspiration from @Diane Fleetwood’s story about her family, I thought I’d start with Beatrix Potter? Good idea? Just an update....here's the Tale of Beatrix Potter https://www.skool.com/beginner-family-history-hub-4853/classroom/82cadb3f?md=3c38b11b760543a6b62f8ae787c90825

I have never had any interest in listening to podcasts as I would rather watch something on the tv, but that has recently changed thanks to @Ceri Logan. She has shared some details of her favourite genealogy podcasts, so I thought I would give them a go as it's something I am extremely interested in, and what a surprise I am really enjoying them and finding them so informative. I started listening to 'A Family History of...' and loved how they had added so much more details to a persons life - what it was like to live at that time, general employment, living conditions etc. So today, I have picked one of my ancestors and I am trying to put together a more detailed story of their life (on paper, not podcast!), but I am learning so much more and hopefully making it more interesting to share with family and friends. I will share my story on here too in the hope to inspire more people 😉

My grandfather name is John O Bible and I have been trying to figure this out for quite sometime, my mom is the only one of his 11 children still living and she does not remember him being married but twice, however on family search it has an Alice Hill married to John O Bible, after researching the marriage certifacate I can see where they just possible found a John Bible and attached it. However after looking at the census that was done it 1940 it says she married a John S Bible which I have also found in my family tree and it better matches the age and information provided. Is there a better way to prove which John Bible it belongs to because I have had several people reach out to me telling me that Alice needs to be added to my tree, and i just politely tell them that until I can get more information to prove which person that she belongs to I am not adding her to my grandfathers tree. I have attached the copy of marriage license and a copy of the census that I have found any help would be greatful.

We’ve been into Newcastle today and as we were walking back to the MOT centre we spotted this 173 year old Queen Victoria post box. Has anyone come across an older one?
