Doris Read 1927 Hull: nice of you to delete George

That cat should be on TV

Not only did it manage to find 'delete' on the thread, but also clicked on 'OK' when asked if it was sure it wanted to delete..............

I don't intend to re-post the info. It is all available on freebmd, with the exception of 1911 census, and the father's WW1 info

So, if George remembers what the correct details are, as opposed to his own slightly inaccurate info, he can easily find all the BMD info.

my cat once took over the keyboard in my absence and typed, and I am not making this up (although I may not be spelling it quite correctly)

mmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkk

with some random numbers at the end :-)

I guess it was 'fat paws' ... one on the m and one on the i/l/k


George if you didn't see the things posted, I do have them saved

all I was trying to post myself was this, so if you want to start over and be clearer, you could do that

______________________________

George could you start over and try to be a bit clearer? :-)

'Hoping to help 4 sisters' -- whose 4 sisters? Doris's? the Doris Read with mother Rowbotham did have 4 sisters ... but they would almost certainly be deceased ...

'Doris Read b. Hull 1927 never knew who her father was' -- so was she registered in her mother's surname? or her mother's husband's surname?

'Possibly German may be something to do with pen friend Elke Dusseldorf' -- this doesn't seem to mean anything helpful ... whose pen friend, what may be something to do with her, Doris's father?

'Just Hoping for help (Mother departed)' -- whose mother is departed? is Doris Read someone's mother and she is the one who is departed? is Doris related to your mother and your mother is departed?

you see how someone might be confused ....

Some smart cat! Went through all of the steps necessary in order to delete a thread by simply walking over your computer desk?
