Sunday 2nd March, 2008

Welcome to March. Did you survive the leap day? This week’s updates are things that haven’t really made it to site yet. But they will. So think of this week’s diary as a trailer. Coming soon to a web-site near you…

In Writing projects news, I’ve finally started redrafting The Longest Night. It’s going to take some time and some rather savage cuts of the knife, but I think it’ll survive surgery. I’ve also written the first chapter of Charity, the third of the Elvish Virtues. These have both been updated. I am also eagerly awaiting the publishing of The Ally-Ally-Oh (consider it a sneak peak at the world used in The Longest Night), and should be hearing back from Drollerie Press [External Link] and Eclectica [External Link] soon, regarding The Big, Bad Wolf and The Light Bearer respectively.

In genealogy news, I have had a handful of brave volunteers for a CHARLESWORTH directory. I’m hoping to put it up when I remove the Project Alerts from this page. I just need to make sure that everyone is happy with the information I make available, first.

And more CHARLESWORTH news, I have updated the Black Bull CHARLESWORTHs, having run into a “new” cousin / relative by the name of Robin TAYLOR (Ta for the help, Rob). As ever, the new data comes with the corollary that we can never prove these things 100%. Genealogy is always best guessing and my lazy form of IGI-reliance is less certain than most others!

I have become convinced that more of my lot made it over the border to Mansfield area of Nottinghamshire. Not much of a stretch as Upper Langwith is in the Mansfield registration district and sits just on the Derbyshire side of the county border. The related Nether Langwith is just in Nottinghamshire. In trying to prove this, I’ve managed to find a few extra twigs for my trees. I will probably be updating the reports as I make more assumptions joining dots.
