Geocache Description:

The starting co-ordinates bear no relation to the final location apart from a nominal proximity.

I am afraid that the tree cover makes the GPS signal rather variable here. I was able to get to +/-34ft. I have averaged the co-ordinates as best I can and added a fairly explicit hint.

Have fun!


With the recent start of the latest series of Who Do You Think You Are I thought I would create a puzzle around my other, if not greater, passion of genealogy.

The clues consist of a number of basic dates which will be familiar to all practiced family historians but may require some research in order to derive the final co-ordinates.

The cache can be found at:- N 54 28.ABC, W 001 17.DEF

Where:-

A = M + N
B = P - S
C = Q - S
D = T - P
E = T - U
F = V - R - P + S

And:-

Hardwick's Marriage Act (26 Geo. II. 33) came into force 25 March 17MN
General Registration began in 18PQ
First Census which contained names took place 06 June 18RS
Starting date for Parish Registers was 1TUV
