Free and they don't insist on your cc details.
Always intended to delve into my past, because I knew nowt, or remembered not much. Back in those days it was very confusing too, because everyone had to be called an aunty or uncle, so were they or were they not?
Anyway, I managed to trace all the way back to the middle of the 19th century, on both sides, but one oddity I could not suss out.
In the 1901 census, there was a father and son by the name of Heavysides lodging with my grandfather, wife and at the time five young kids. My father didn't appear until 1911.
Tracing my maternal side back, it went Farrar, his wife Sunderland, her mother a _Heavysides_.
All unusual surnames, so how come an Heavysides shows up in two separate families?
I also half remember an Heavysides family which we were freindly with, living near us when I was a nipper.
My father always hinted at his side of the family being from the Norfolk/ Suffolk border and there was a village named after us. I always took that with a pinch of salt, but he was right. His father James came from Yaxley and his fathers name was James too.
They don't half get about these Heavysides lol
