A foggy day in London town.
Did you know that they had written a song about it.
I spent a bit of today entering the information I collected
yesterday at the Society of genealogist into spread sheets to try to make sense
of it all.
For a while I thought I had cracked it and found the family
of my four times great grandfather, William Harvey. It looked really good until
I compared the burial records with the baptisms.

It is sad to see so many young deaths. Families often named
one child after another with the same name, only to lose all of them.
Comparing marriage and burial registers shows deaths of
spouses, and then remarriages.
Life certainly was much tougher in those days .
