Oh Henry VIII, no matter how much you proclaim it, you can't ever take away Catherine of Aragon's style. Have you not seen Six? She's a queen.

I use Google Docs for almost all my work and for filing digitised genealogical records. I noticed today that the search function now works with hand-written documents in my folders. A search for 'Sneyd' (a name I knew I had come across but couldn't place) found the name in these 2 records. V. handy!

Another day, another archive. 😁❀️

Thankfully, the records I’m looking at today are a little later. Mid-18th Century.

My brain still hurts from looking at pages of this all day, but I’m pleased to say I got the answer to my objective in the end.
Exploring an armigerous family from Essex, specifically looking at a branch in the early-mid 1400s.

Well I have only identified one Yorkshire individual in my family tree so far (my 2xG Grandfather), and he’s one of my brick walls, so I’m hoping this will help me find out more about him 🀞🏻
