[lace] Shetland Lace Fence
This is from one of two knitting blogs I read, KDD & co. (the other is Mason-Dixon Knitting). Kate Davies is a wonderful designer with a remarkable story of recovery/adaptation from a stroke at 36. If that weren't enough, she is usually modeling her creations in the stunning Scottish scenery captured by her photographer husband. She is currently running a series on creative women - very worthwhile to look at the other people profiled so far. This is Anne Eunson's knitted fence: https://kddandco.com/2012/09/05/anne-eunsons-artistry/?fbclid=IwAR3Furds98-w rODaNmSMqzyzSb_B1X0W1-9nfvcX2zhNGtWIpz_aKDaRmcQ Happy mid-summer, at least it's mid-summer here in Albany, NY. Big thunderstorm flattened some of the garden yesterday, brutal heat coming tomorrow, so we'll just enjoy the fireflies flitting about this evening.

Re: [lace] re Find my past "free" ancestry site = correction
Correction to my previous message - I was hurrying and didn't proof read properly -Original Message- From: Malvary Cole Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2019 9:50 AM To: brid...@bigpond.com ; Lace@arachne.com Subject: Re: [lace] re Find my past "free" ancestry site I double checked part of the 1871 census for Honiton, Devon and there are several ladies described as Lace Makers or Lace Manufacturers, and it shows where they were born. There are many more ladies with no occupation shown and many of them may well have been lace makers, but it wasn't considered to be an occupation as such - women did NOT have occupations unless you were perhaps the head of the household. It would probably have been the head of the household who filled in the census form and if he didn't consider that his wife and/or daughters had occupations, then it didn't go on the form. For 1841 there are no actual places of birth shown except whether they were born in the county for which the census was being taken, i.e. if the census was for Devon and you were born in Devon you got a Y by your name or and N if you were born somewhere else. The Y and N are not always easy to distinguish because the transcriber of the forms was doing pages of these entries and he/she is also trying to read the writing of the person who filled in the form - not necessarily the same person. If there was no-one in the household who could write, then the form was completed by the enumerator - hence the different spelling of family names that you come across when doing research.

RE: [lace] Travel advise - lace related
When we visited in August last year, the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna, Austria, had a very large room where lace of many types was displayed. There is an online collection: https://sammlung.mak.at/en/collection_online?=lace Incidentally, "Anno O. alias Bertha Pappenheim, the first of Sigmund Freud's recorded “cases” to be treated with psychoanalytical discussion therapy, was not only a prominent Jewish women’s rights activist and protector of women in need, she was also known as a generous collector of lace and cast iron objects. A representative selection of these heterogeneous and yet linked objects which the collector both sold and donated to the MAK." Jay in Sydney -- Sent: Thursday, 11 July 2019 2:58 AM I am planning to attend OIDFA next year in Estonia. I would like to travel for a month ahead of the congress and am searching out lace sites in the countries on my list. I plan to visit Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and Austria. However, I can't find any lace-related references in the travel guides I've been reading on these countries, not even in the museum listings.

Re: [lace] re Find my past "free" ancestry site
With Ancestry ,Find My Past, The Genealogist and any other websites with census transcriptions you can report transcription errors (and there were plenty of them down to poor handwriting, transcription by non-native/non-local people and general lack of palaeography skills) but if they have chosen not to transcribe occupation for a whole dataset they wonât add it.
