[Married into Nottinghamshire!]

Wow, loved hearing about your travels back and forth too loopylugs! I was born in Alberta and still have family there. I suspect we might end up living there one day close to the mountains.

Awesome, thanks for the warm welcome!!

 

I lived in Grantham when young, then other areas of the England over a period of 16 years. My parents and my in-laws are still in Notts and Lincs, so we come back as often as we can, and it feels like my second home.

My first memory of Nottingham was a trip to the Tales of Robin Hood and Victoria Center in early 90s, last visit was Lace Market area in 2019 - it has changed a lot during those 30 years alone!

 

My husband’s maternal line goes back to 1700s in St. Ann/Mapperley/Sneiton/West Bridgford areas. I started looking into the history of St. Ann’s, notorious as it was reported to be when we moved to the UK in the 90s. But now looking at it more from what each generation’s lives were like growing up there, and hence some influence on who my husband is today. I hadn’t realised that it was all demolished and rebuilt in 60s/70s, I’m learning a lot and excited to dive into the topics posted here!

Introductions...

Canadian prairie girl who moved to Lincolnshire for school, married a Notts man, and brought him back to the prairies. We now have two kids who are half Prairie, half Notts.

Now doing the family history on both sides. My mother-in-law’s family go way back in Nottingham, wow. 
So I am learning all about the history of Nottingham and areas around it, loving it!!

Found this website and know I can learn a lot more still, and hope to find out more about specific areas that the in-laws came from.

Missing life over there, looking forward to connecting with and reminiscing about Nottinghamshire here :).
