The days and weeks pass quickly and I am still working on Wiltshire wills and not accomplishing a lot of Abbots Ann Parish Records. However, we did get the Christmas letter written to go with the Christmas Cards and I always email to my family and do not send Christmas Cards. I stopped sometime in the 1990s and just emailed. Hard to believe it is nearly 20 years since I sent Christmas Cards except to my mother and aunt and uncle as they were not on email (all in their 80s at the time).
This Blog will talk about researching my English ancestors from Canada but also the ancestors of our son in law whose families stretch back far into Colonial French Canada. My one name study of Blake and of Pincombe also dominate my blog these days.

Return to blogging
I did promise yesterday that today I would be blogging a new will however that was before I looked at the will of James Blake of Preshute, Wiltshire and amazingly he lived at Plough Cottage which is reminiscent of Elizabeth Blake's will just a short while ago. James's will is 10 pages so it will be tomorrow before that one surfaces as a blog but a couple of hints that it does clarify Elizabeth's will and gives a lot more detail on this Blake family which appears to be from Berkshire since that was unknown when I worked on Elizabeth's will:
