Hello This is a very good website for useful information. http://www.johnowensmith(.)co(.)uk/histdate/ e.g. 1868 Last convicts landed in Australia 1870 Dr Barnardo opens his first homes for destitute children. 1872 Penalties introduced for failing to register Births, Marriages and Deaths. ( Eng & Wales) Hope you find something useful. Shirley

Very interesting! I've put together a little brother of this. It's got lots of my family details (BMDs etc) with elections, olympic games, news events, royal dates, car reg plates etc. I might just c & p some of the events in this timeline and put them into my own!
