Re: WDYTYA - 23 June - Anna Maxwell Martin
Just watched the Anna Maxwell Martin episode and one of the most relatable and emotional ones I have ever seen. Really tough family upbringing on both sides of her family but refreshing to see a more normal life story recounted, one of the best episodes across all the series.

Re: 1921 census talk
Just a quick question, there is probably an obvious answer and if anybody will know it’s someone on here. We have to wait 100 years for a census release here in the UK due to privacy issues yet in the USA they are about to launch the 1950 census, is it simply different legislation in different count...

Re: 1921 census review
I am a Pro Subscriber of Find My Past. They say that this entitles me to a 10% discount on the 1921 census transcription and the image. My bank statement does not show any discount. I have been charged the full amount. How is that? It may only be 10% but that would add up over the number of records...

Re: Unusual Grave Markers, Can anybody help?
Thanks everyone for all the responses to my question, I think that as was stated here, the majority of the symbols was the stone mason showing off his talents. The fleur de lys was interesting and I did wonder if there were Hugeneot connections? I have passed on all the comments to the lady in quest...

Re: Unusual Grave Markers, Can anybody help?
Thanks Mick, much appreciated for that. I have no idea why the same family would have the IHS symbol and the fleur de lys?
