Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 135
A warm welcome to the July issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history, in our unique web-friendly format ideal for screens of all sizes.
The role of the midwife has been of huge importance down the ages, and a family story prompted Stephen Wade to explore it in this issue. Meanwhile we're also on the trail of family secrets and useful info to be gleaned in unusual places – from gravestones in our churchyards so hidden places in the home.
Also in this issue, we learn about the impressive career of opera supremo Sir Charles Santley, the history of cricket and more!
A special note in this issue to say a huge thank you to Nick Thorne, who retires this month from his role as staff writer and who has been with us since DYAP started. Enjoy your next adventures!
Finally, don't forget to get your copy of the 11th printed edition of Discover Your Ancestors via our website!
I hope you enjoy this issue.
