Genealogy Chat

couple of weeks ago I thought mmmm I need to go to the General Cemetry to see if any rellies are there. Well its smack bang in the red light area of Nottingham. We park the car in a street opposite, then he forgets to lock the car door leaves me stood on the street corner while he goes to lock the doors. I am now getting smiles and slowed down cars with blokes gawping at me shouts hurry up Paul im gonna earn money soon lmao. Were in the graveyard for a couple of hours, get rained on no where to shelter were looking like drown rats by now. We go to leave and uhoh the gates locked!!!!! we end up having to crawl through a small gap in the metal frnce back onto Forest Road (which is the main RL street lol) ya should have seen people staring lol, must have thought I was a lady of the night and he was a kerb crawler lmao poor hubby lol

The things we do in the name of genealogy lol Linda

Angela I couldn't stop laughing when I read your thread! I know exactly where you mean, and yes you would get a few creeps slowing down there. Pauline

My Husband has little interest in the family tree, however I was driving when I stopped ay the church and graveyard at a village I had recently found some of his relatives had lived. Reluctantly he got out of the car by this time I had found the family name on the war memorial {since found one is definately a relative}, so he started looking a bit. There was a lady attending a grave and I started talking to her and hubby came over, this lady took one look at hubby and said 'are you Johns' brother', unfortunately we could't see John as his wife was due to be buried the next day!. The relationship, my husbands gr grandfather married twice, first wife died, hubby is from his second family, John is from his first family. Normally chatty hubby went very quiet, not as funny as getting loked in a graveyard in the red light area, but I'm not sure I can get him in anymore graveyards!
