My brother's & I with our Great Grandmother Catherine Canning in 1986. She would have been 91 then. It's her maiden name MORNIN that is the focus of my #OneNameStudy.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 7: Angel

The grave of “Mary, dearly beloved daughter of William and Frances Silvester, died February 22nd 1950, aged 11 years and 6 months” at Tibberton, #Shropshire. A relative, and part of my #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy – Mary’s mother was an Atcherley by birth.
Photo of a monument erected on a grave enclosed by kerb stones. The monument is topped by a representation of an angelic child with wings, holding flowers in her left hand. The first part of the inscription on the pedestal below is given in the post to which this image is attached; the inscription concludes with "Jesus went out gathering flowers, on his way he gathered ours."

Time to add a few members of the Atcherley family, from my semi-dormant #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy, to my #31DaysOfGraves output. For Day 3 here are some Atcherley chest tombs at Baschurch All Saints, #Shropshire, the last resting place for a great many Atcherleys over the centuries.
MIs at Baschurch All Saints (4)
On this page, the Atcherley chest tombs and grave markers situated furthest from Baschurch All Saints church are pictured and described, with transcripts of their their inscriptions.

An unexpected but delightful start to my day: a phone call from a distant relative, a descendant of the Ryley family depicted on this page of my Atcherley #FamilyHistory / #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy website. She has photos which were clearly taken at the same time as some of these pics!

My new website for my #OneNameStudy of the MORNIN surname is now up and running. Only 244 people so far, but it's a start. A long way to go with this project, that I will find time to add to each month.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 15: Damaged

There's no damage visible in this preview image for a page on my Atcherley #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy website, but as you will see on the page itself, the cross that once stood on this base is in two pieces and lying on the ground.

More heraldry for the #31DaysOfGraves Day 5 theme: Bird.

Back to my #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy for this one, and the #Shropshire church of Myddle St Peter where many of the Atcherleys of Marton Hall are buried and remembered. The crest above the Atcherley arms is a demi-bustard holding a lily.
Two images combined. Left: a photo of a wall-mounted memorial tablet, made of wood but painted to look like stone, on which five members of the Atcherley family are remembered (Robert of Marton, died 1758; Richard of Wem, died 1766; Richard of Marton, died 1766; Jane, died 1773; Elizabeth, died 1836). Right: an enlarged part of the first photo, showing part of the red and gold (or, in heraldic terminology, gules and or) Atcherley arms at the top of the memorial tablet and the crest above; the bird, which is red but has open, gold-coloured wings, faces towards the left and holds a lily in its beak.

I recognise that pic! Lilian Lenton a.k.a. Ida Inkley / May Dennis / the Elusive #Suffragette, is very much the star of my 2-part story featuring Chief Constable Llewellyn Atcherley.

“Lilian quickly made a name for herself. In fact, she made several names for herself.”

In my Atcherley #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy, Priscilla Atcherley was 25 when, in 1865 at Leamington, she tied the knot with her widowed first cousin once removed William Matthews, who was 55. This union resulted in 6 children, with all 3 sons dying in infancy. #Genealogy #MindTheGap [2/3]

An issue I've had in writing an article for my #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy rather than my #OnePlaceStudies. In a transcript of a letter, I replaced the words (singular and plural) with n____ and n____s, and then explained what I had done and why.
James Roger Atcherley’s American Civil War – Part 4
The fourth and final part of this series of articles on James Roger Atcherley’s experiences in the American Civil War. Featuring missed battles, ’skeeters, wood ticks, and the slavery question.
