AnnCardiff ... I have some familiarity with Wiltshire so I was looking at this thread to see whether I might help ... you have overloaded it with entirely useless and irrelevant things like the usual google search results that anyone with a mouse and an internet connection can find for themself ... plus get the actual link in question rather than the truncated copy&paste job you offer ... and the fact that you have to create a separate post for each pointless tidbit of trivia

this is so pointless and so unhelpful to askers and so distracting to other helpers, I keep wondering why you do it ... for you own enjoyment I am sure, but it does not qualify as help

I wondered whether wills might be of any help to you, for instance if Charles was named in his father's will

http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/heritage/

86 results for Amor but no Edward

for Laverstock:

P2/1821/16 Will, wrapper 1821 Amor, Elizabeth Widow Laverstock
P2/1834/24 Administration bond, wrapper 1834 Amor, William Laverstock
P2/A/525 Will 1777 Amor, Robert Yeoman Laverstock

you might want to have a browse

do you know when Ann Dew died? I hesitate to try to find the answer among the bumph in the thread ...

there are wills for widowed Ann Dews in 1842, 1848, 1865 ... not likely that one is yours but again, you may want to look at the search results


I certainly agree that it seems most probable that Charles's parents were not married, but it is not unreasonable to think that he knew his father's name, Edward Amor

how kind of you JC - give me a break FGS - I'm only trying to help the poster - just because it doesn't fit with your way of doing things doesn't make it irrelevant

Well JC, I subscribed to GR as part of their sales blurb claimed friendly researchers who were happy to assist people like me who, whilst not absolute beginners still require help every now and again. I really do think your comments concerning the postings from AnnCardiff to be bordering on the offensive and are quite unnecessary, Hardly the expected response from "friendly" helpers. All of the replies, including your own, are most welcome and have helped me in varying degrees to fill in a gap. It is of course entirely up to you, but I would have thought a short apology to be in order.

that's fine, TAC

you're new and you haven't had to wade through these reams of unrelated posts every day ... in this case an entire page of the thread ... or have tried the friendly requests for less of it more than once ... or get the private messages from other regular helpers driven mad by it ...

was there something in all of that that was useful?

I'll be happy to delete my info about the Wiltshire Wills site if it is just cluttering your thread, since it doesn't seem to have been of interest.

thank you TAO - I agree - it is quite unseemly to "have a go" at a fellow member on this board and rarely occurs, thank goodness :-) :-)
