Moon Day

Genealogy – Received two death certificates at the weekend, both were spot on. The first was for 3rd great-grandfather John Burton. He died of old age in 1871 aged 96, another long-lived ancestor. The other was for his son, Henry Burton, who I found in Winchester hospital in in the 1841 census. It turned out that he died in hospital in 1847 of ucleration of the small intestine. The Burton line web pages need to be regenerated and published as there’s lots of new details.

Social – Is it me or are most of the snooker games dragging on at the moment? O’Sullivan and Carter seem to be the only ones making an effort, the rest are bogged down in either excessive safety play or poor potting accuracy. Let’s hope the games get a bit more exciting.
