Life has been incredibly busy these past few weeks since my last post and I rather thought I would have posted in that time period but it just didn't happen!
I was going to be doing some hand transcription during the period but that didn't happen either.
France though did happen and we spent three weeks in France - yes France on the other side of the ocean. We had planned to do a trip to France and the battlefields of WWI and WWII in September but the opportunity to take the trip suddenly appeared in May and we decided to go for it. We didn't actually book it until mid March when we had originally planned to book the September trip. We only did the trip of France though as we will do the Battlefields tour in 2017 now.
What inspired us to go to France for 21 days. Certainly it wasn't top of my agenda at all. My French Huguenot ancestors - Horman, Question/Cuestion - first appear in England in the mid 1500s but I have absolutely no idea of their location in France. I have a strong interest in Richard le Blak of Rouen and planned to pay good attention whilst I was there to see if anything could be gleaned on this particular Blake line. But it was my husband Edward who discovered the trip and was really keen on doing it. We were to go to Ile de Re and St Martin de Re on Ile de Re. There was also the potential to be in the Palatinate (Baden Baden). But perhaps most importantly for me there were to be visits to some of the WWI and WWII cemeteries and monuments. I was keenly interested in doing that and there were several other items that had been on my must do one day list and those items are now fulfilled.
I have written up most of the days and need to finish that and will then publish it to a blog for anyone interested in what we saw in France.
Hopefully I will be starting back into my transcription of both the Blake wills and the Routledge material. However, gardening will come between me and my transcriptions for the next couple of weeks likely but will still try as most of the wills to come are fairly short.

Will of Andrew Question of Dunster - The National Archives PROB 11/151/157, probated 12 Feb 1626/27
This is the third will in the series for the Question family at Dunster in the 1600s and early 1700s. Again I have not proofread this will transcribed in 2009 but will do so after Christmas and correct the online copy if any. Andrew was my 8x great grand uncle. To the best of my knowledge he did not marry; he does not mention a wife or children. He is young when he died having been baptized 9 Sep 1601 at Dunster (son of Augustine Question and Johane Horman) and buried 11 Nov 1626 at Dunster. His father's will was posted just prior to this one so he was only nine years old when his father was buried (6 May 1611 at Dunster). Interestingly I only just asked the OPC at Dunster (Liz Jones) for some of these early records a few months ago. I had run across a mention of the Question family in my Blake line when I was working on the Somerset Blake wills and Jone Question (sister of my 7x great grandfather) married Nicholas Blake.
