Back after a Long Rest !

St Leonards, Walton-le-dale

After a long lay-off in my genealogy research, I am back into it with a bit more enthusiasm. I have noticed that this happens to most genealogists - we all need a break now and again. I must admit though, my break has lasted over a year !! During that year, I lost the pages I had on my husbands server - grrr ! (I did save all of the information though). So...it's a good excuse to start a blog, which is a much easier format to use. Hopefully, research will go ahead at full steam.

I look forward to any comments from those researching their Heaps connections, and would welcome your info to add to the database of the One Name Study. Thanks - Lorraine

Hello. I am trying to research the Heaps branch in my family and i would really appreciate any help. All the information i have so far has come from my own research and is backed up with certificates and referenced against the census.
My Heaps start with Minnie Clara Heaps who was born in Aston (birmingham) in 1884, she married a William Hart. Her father was Andrew Heaps born in c1864 Walsall. His father was Walter Heaps who claims to have been born in Wakefield although i can not find his birth in the Parish registers. I have a list of the siblings of these people too.
I would love to hear from anyone with any information on any of the above.
Thankyou

Hello,
I just came across this site and found it very interesting. I live in Canada but was born and raised in Blackburn Lancashire. I became interested in genealogy about 3 years ago.My family has shrunk and dispersed over the decades and I wanted to leave some family history for my grandchildren (I am 68 years old).
I have used the UK census 1841-1911, the Lancashire BMD and the On-Line Parish Clerks of Lancashire amongst other sources. I have traced a lot of the branches back to the early 1800's but after that it gets difficult.
When I have more time I will put together all I have found about the Heaps branch.
