Today's #genealogy plan was to finally get round to looking up some people in the 1921 Census. I got slightly sidetracked on the first one and ended up researching a cousin who was a professional cellist in Bristol in the 1920s. He was the first Brit to study at the Mons Conservatoire! @genealogy@geneadons #geneadons#FamilyHistory#music#musician#cello
