The last part of my Family History Revisited collects some stories about my ancestors. There are many posts on this blog about family members and places where they lived. Hopefully these are the final few.

There are two or three photos of my great-grandfather on this blog. The above is just one of them. See everything about Vincent on my post of 1st February 2023.

Askew, Ascough or Ayscough
My post of the 5th December mentions Ruth at the Lincolnshire Family History Society, who solved the problem of the spelling of my ancestor's names. This was followed by my post of 7th December 2011, where it all came together in one of my most important finds.
The Ascoughs of East Fen
My post of 6th January 2022 is the record of how I found my Askew ancestors.
