Really enjoy your interesting videos. I have started reading the old newspapers on line to find the history of my little village. Also trying to find out how to access records of who has lived in my little house in the past.
That's awesome! Have you found any stand out stories yet? And (assuming you're in Wales) FamilySearch has the 1841 census free to view, so you could click through your parish to find your house. The National Library of Wales has the tithe maps for that year too that you can use to look at your house. But yeah there's a whole community of people online who do House History who can also be of help.
Thank you for the information, I was hoping you might show light on how to go about my search. Many of the reports are in Welsh and I can't understand them but the English ones have reports of land being donated for bridges, young woman dieing in childbirth and the inquest was held in my house. A poor young man hanging himself and another going to court for borrowing a coat. The reports are more graphic and open than today. Lots of teas and fares for Sunday schools and singing and plowing competitions. Thank you again.
That's really interesting. A busy place your house in the past! There might be a future video idea in doing a house history project. I'll add it to my list.
That's really cool. I haven't been able to connect any of my lines up to any royalty yet. Quite a few spouses of cousin lines have it though. Always a fun find :)
For more common people there is less about what the women did. I have two in 1900 that were dressmakers. I don't know if these are home based businesses or hired on elsewhere. They did have many children. Readymade fashion began after that. I did read that it was highly controversial for a woman to own a sewing machine when they first came out. One of these women was my great grandma Nellie Hanrahan. The other was her daughter, also called Nellie.
That's a really interesting story. I also think you make a really good point. When it comes to poorer women, you'll often get less individual biographical information. But if you research them as a social class (What were poor women's lives like in this area at this time), you can get a lot of good information from a lot of different sources. Then we can take what we do know about them individually and see how that compares and go from there. Love it.

I would like to know welsh inventors if there were any?
I also learned that a Welshman created a town in Ukraine so are there any other examples?
Your videos are so interesting and thorough. We often forget how much women have contributed to so many things.
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying :)

Fascinating family history, like I found out that I’m related to the Tudor’s in Wales.

How fun!

Thanks, I found the sewing machine story while browsing the library magazine rack.
