Keeping On Top Of Things.

Okay, so as I mentioned in an earlier post my FMP is 'If Walls Could Talk', my research has lead me to pinpoint my project onto my great Nanna Ada. At first I was looking at old buildings and the atmosphere that they had and looking at how many family secrets would have been revealed in the four walls that is the house. This lead me to look into the Psycho Buildings Exhibiton, which I will talk more about in another post. I also went to have a look at a house for sale called Bradlegh Hall in Burtonwood, ended up getting lost and in a pub called Fiddle I'th Bag.
I then started to look at my own family, and looking through our history I found that quite a few of the first born children called Robert have died either at birth or during their childhood. A family curse maybe? Or just a coincidence? I put it down to coincidence, as quite alot of the boys in my family are called Robert and the majority of them haven't died.
My mum actually gave birth to her first child and called him Robert, he actually died after a few days through hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
I've also found lots of birth, death and marriage certificates from quite a while back and have displayed in my sketchbook nicely.
