Thank You Douglas Hope

 Douglas Hope contacted me through WikiTree and provided us with the death details for Henry Perfect and Robert Wilson long with the sources.  This will save me a lot of time and effort when I re-visit their profiles next month.

Thanks again Douglas.

Google, Google and More Google

 I am gradually adding all my family history research to Google Drive.  I was going to use Microsoft Onedrive but have found that integrating it with other applications is a nightmare.  

So this blog is on Blogger, my research is being added to Google Drive and to provide a portal to my research I have created a static website on Google Sites!! Access to the site is through this blog if you look at the right hand side there is a 'Gilroy Ancestors' panel.  Clicking on any of those links takes you to the site.

The site is still a work in progress new data is being added daily and things will get re-organised or broken but at least the work is becoming available hopefully for posterity.

Enjoy

Where Did We All Come From? I Can Hear You Ask

Well for our Gilroy Ancestors I can point you in the right direction.  At no cost to you here is an image map of the UK showing the birth locations of all our ancestors. A link to a full size image is via the 'Maps' link on the panel to the right.

Another Conundrum for Future Research

Stop Press - Our Cousin 3*Removed Knocked Down By Lorry

Mind you it was in 1932, but just goes the show that it wisnae safe on the roads even then.  But fatal traffic accidents couldn't  have been that common as it merited a mention in the Dundee Evening Telegraph.  David Redpath was knocked down by lorry on his way to work at a brewery in Craigmillar from his home in Gilmerton.  David died in the Royal Infirmary from a fractured skull.

It's Good News Week - A favourite from 1965.

And it is a good news week for all my faithful followers.  No longer will you have to worry about forgetting the dates of the births, marriages and deaths of our ancestors.  At great personal sacrifice a calendar of those dates now appears at the top right of our blog.  If you feel the need to send a card to mark the occasion please send care of myself with a £10 note enclosed and I will forward onto my bank account.  Enjoy.
