Today I started transcribing the school log books for my #Sudbourne #OnePlaceStudy & I’m loving it! Many children were ‘irregular’ (in attendance) & often missed school to help in the fields. Stone picking & ‘topping beet’ being mentioned frequently #GenHour

The latest blogging/social media prompt #OnePlaceCarers has got me thinking about the short-lived #Sudbourne Hospital. Built by Kenneth Mackenzie Clark in 1905, shortly after he bought the Sudbourne Estate, it became a RedCross Hospital during #WW1 but sadly burned down in 1915

An exciting #OnePlaceWednesday for me - I’m planning a birthday trip to my #OnePlaceStudy of #Sudbourne! We’ll be staying in the nearby village of #Orford. We’ll be visiting places which give an insight into the social history of Suffolk and having fun on Southwold Pier!

Feeling a sense of achievement with my #Sudbourne #OnePlaceStudy today - I’ve nearly finished transcribing the 1921 census. I’ve got several mini-projects on the go but trying to stick to the same 2/3 otherwise it’s difficult to see progress. I feel like I’m knocking on doors with the enumerator!

Transcription of the #Sudbourne school log books has got off to a flying start! The 1st 30 pages of the 1875-1895 log book is complete. There are 300 pages in this log book - & there are another 2 log books - so still some way to go! #OnePlaceWednesday

The #Sudbourne Estate & its #OnePlaceLandowners were integral to villagers’ lives. Many would’ve been employed on the Estate. Sudbourne Hall was demolished in 1953, but a few buildings remain - bothy buildings, stables & seed house. Some are private homes, others artists studios #OnePlaceWednesday

Something of a #Sudbourne #OnePlaceWednesday milestone today - completed transcribing 2 decades of death certificates! Discovered a female deputy registrar with the same surname as the usual (male) registrar, which definitely warrants more investigation. Hope to do some analysis next.

I’ve finished transcribing the 1921 census for #Sudbourne! Transcriptions of the baptisms & burials is also underway. I’m trying not to have too many ongoing mini-projects, but might need to start on the 1910 Valuation Act. Can’t wait to get inside some of those properties! #OnePlaceWednesday
