A cycle ride and a bit of history

•

Hi all

I went on a cycle ride today as there's little wind and we have glorious weather. I cycled 25.072 miles and walked 8,853 steps

Something completely different hence the 'bit of history' in the title. My husband is doing some family history, he's been looking into it for a long time now, he said some of his relatives were buried in our local church, this was a bit of a find. After lunch we went down to the graveyard and found a gravestone where 3 of my hubby's relatives were buried. We now have 2 photos of the gravestone.

The photo of the sea and the cliffs is looking out from the church graveyard.

Hope you've all had a good day.

Alicia🌞🌈🌻🌼👍

How very interesting cf. xx

Definitely; we'll have to go a lot further afield for my family as my dad was from Durham and my mum was born in India as my granddad was in the British Raj out there.

I'm also looking and tracing back my family history so was interested to note you had discovered family members in your local churchyard. It is very exciting when you start going back into the archives so I would imagine this little discovery by your husband will probably encourage him to delve even deeper into his ancestry now. Very exciting.

Cheers. Chrys x

Definitely and it was great finding out the grave was so near. We'll have to go a lot further afield for my family as my dad was from Durham and my mum was born in India as my granddad was in the British Raj out there.

This has encouraged him to start doing it again, he's gone back to the 1600's.

Thank you Chrys xx🙏

Thank you Jerry, it really has and still is a beautiful day, chilly in the shade but lovely in the sun.

I know, he was so pleased to find that the grave was local. The church really is situated in a lovely place looking out to sea. We'd have to go a way for my father's side which is Durham and my mother was born in India as my grandad was serving out there in the army.

Hope you have a loveky evening.

You're very fit! I walked 7 miles the other day and it almost did me in!

Very interesting to research your husbands family history. Thanks as ever for the photos of the glorious views. Very uplifting.

7 miles is a very good distance and I bet you enjoyed getting out.

He's also researched a lot of my family history and it's amazing what he's found. You're welcome and I'm really pleased you like them.🙏🌈😊👍🌞

How interesting and lovely spot to be buried. I've booked our plot as like to think ahead!! 🤣 😂

• in reply todiana19984 years ago

It really is very interesting looking back at family history and it really is a nice spot where our local church is. Nothing like being prepared, at least your family will know what you want 😂😂

• in reply tocustardpie4 years ago

I know, it really is an excellent spot and especially when the sky and sea are so blue. I love churches and old buildings as I find them very interesting. My hubby is working on the family history again today.

Hope you've had a good day.

You’ve gone and done it again!—-25 miles to my measly 8.5. But then I am of the inferior (male) gender and in the over 80 set. Keep up the good work. All the best to you, hubby, and family.

8.5 miles is not measly especially if you're over 80, kudos to you. I'm 61.

Thank you Donandhope you and your family are well🙏😊.
