April 2025

A warm spring welcome to the April issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history.

This time we travel to various places in the 18th and 19th centuries, taking in everything from a Georgian literary club to the strange world of wife selling at markets, perhaps most famously encountered in Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge bur certainly not confined to the world of fiction. We also have an interesting history of district nurses and how to research one in your family, and more besides!

Show season continues! Thanks to everyone who came to our busy Midlands show last month – if you're in travelling distance of Merseyside, we'd love to see you in Liverpool on 3rd May for the usual great mix of expert talks, advice and exhibitors at the next Family History Show – do grab your ticket asap!

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
