Before I forget once more, I found out some rather freaky/ historical info at the weekend…
My mum had been looking out a WW2 letter/ telegram sent by her dad from India for a WI competition. In doing this she also found some other (somewhat older letters) that my granny had kept and then got passed on to my mum.

The freaky thing was the letters were addressed to my former residence street in Faversham! They tantalisingly didn’t have a number on (not really needed in 1805ish) so we don’t know where in the street they lived, it won’t be the building I lived in but might have been a predecessor. So in the style of ‘Who do you think you are?’ my mum might be finding out this fact when she has so free time as its tempted her. Does anyone know if census existed in 1805?

The letters (once you have got past the copperplate style writing) were rather interesting, sent from Portugal to Faversham by son/brother to mother/daughter. One of them was going on about the Battle of Trafalgar and what a good victory it was! There were some other skirmishes in the letters going on around then (including stuff in Portugal).

To complete this Dr T also got to see many photos of me (and my sister) when I was little … he has been threatening to scan a load in and do a projector side show for my 30th (kind soul he is!). There are rather a lot of my sister posing … mine are more holiday action shots!
