As a recent member of this thread I do not know the details of 'The Search for Diane'.

Could someone direct me to the thread - a fresh pair of eyes....

Arthur - you will find it a very interesting thread I will see if i can get you the link -

back in a mo

Find ancestors - Trying to Find Mother - by Evelyn

Arthur,

I don't know a quarter of what goes on in this thread and this lot on here just confuse me.

I just sit back and watch without getting too involved. That way I can lead a comparatively quiet life!!!

Love to all.

Geordie/Jock/Robert.

Morning all - 7am again - dark - dismal & wet - but warm for the time of year

Knew you couldn't keep away Robert - Hows the shell - fully weather proofed for the winter i hope - have you had the shell central heating checked?

Thank you Sue for letting me know i wasn't talking to myself - as Cynthia is popping about all over the place at the moment

The search for Diane continues - I liked the Doreen Shannon idea - i could see a link - Doreen - Diane - have to admit Diane sounds a lot more interesting as a name & holds a little more sparkle

Should we follow this one & see if she did just vanish - Cynthia - was there a Doreen in the Nicholson school records - could you ask your friend - if you haven't already done so.

Well not a lot happening in my area - same old dull office work - we all seem to be a bit down in the dumps round here at the moment - think its that time of year.

Oh well - here we go again - start of another day - same old thing.

Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello all.

For our menfolk...........The link which Anne has so kindly provided is for the 2 year old thread re our Evelyn's missing mother. Evelyn has been keen to trace her maternal roots for a long time but her mother remains obstinately hidden. Several of us have been working on this over the last 2 years but have just hit brickwall after brickwall despite our best efforts.

You are very welcome to read through the rather long thread at your leisure and see what you think. A 'man's eye' view may be just what we need :-D


I'm glad it's Thursday......Tuesdays and Wednesday tend to be a bit hectic what with one thing and another so it's good not to feel too pressured. To be honest, the same old thing scenario is quite welcome at times..... :-D


I do seem to have been hither and thither on here I must admit. You will see my name crop up quite often because I try and help newcomers find their way around this site - letting them know that they have replies if they don't return to their thread - that sort of thing.

I very rarely do lookups as I am not as gifted as some on here so I just help where I can and respond to threads which interest me.

After a very pleasant morning it is now raining and I have one more load of washing to put out.......grrrrrrrr


Love to all. Cx.

Cynthia - you are far too modest - you are a great help on all sorts of threads & your precis on Evelyn's thread is amazing darling - to use Craig's words.

Talking of Evelyn - Ron is going through a rough patch the moment - so if we can all do some thought channelling etc in her direction - I know she will appreciate it - she knows we are all thinking of her.

Such a sad time in anyones life

Well back to the grindstone or phone or whatever - trying to sort out a holiday - he is not sure what he wants - a country House hotel break - a long weekend away in the sun - or a trip to lapland

Not much difference between them is there !!!!!!!!!!! :-P

Keeps me on my toes

Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hello all

evelyn my best wishes to you and ron <3

sally w :-)

Morning all - 7am again - poring with rain - don't think it stopped much yesterday.

Nearly forgot - HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT for tomorrow

Off to the Outlaws at the weekend - so not internet access - won;t know what to do with myself - so I will be missing

What a great relief you all say - won't have her enless chatter

Sally lovely to see you again - any news - any info - any idle chatter?

Arthur - any thoughts on Evelyn's search for her mum?

Cynthia - how do I find the photo of Evelyn's mum again - I am useless on this website.

My friend brought her little boy in the office yesterday - he is 4 months now - so cute - his mum is German his dad Argentinian - he is very blond. One of my friends went to see one of our new mums - her little girl is just a month old & she is bigger now than he is. She was a 10lb 10 oz baby - she is goiing to be a big girl.

Well off to snoop around until the phone calls me

Have a great weekend all

Take care <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello all.


You will find Diane's picture by going to your home page and clicking on where it says photos/videos etc. I think !

Any thoughts on Diane anyone?

I love Fridays because I don't have much to do usually but today I have been making phone calls since 8am trying to sort out a problem with my ISP and bank . Didn't even finish my breakfast..... :-|


Love to Evelyn and Ron <3


Must go and get a shower......... <3

Cynthia - i am a dismal failure - couldn't see where it said photos on the front page :-( Holds head down in shame

I couldn't even see anywhere it might be

I am such a failure :-0 :-(

Will go away & sulk in my corner - may even find a shell & hide inside

Have read most of Evelyn's thread and have to admit - I AM CONFUSED.

A very difficult situation and probably needing professional help - not that I am underestimating the excellent skills demonstrated on this thread.

Off to Belgium for the weekend. Hope sunday is sunny as I will be visiting Bruges for the first time.

Hi Everyone

It has been a difficult week this week,A cousin of mine that I have stayed in touch with from the UK died last night,he was 58 yrs of age.

He has had three kidney transplants over the years and the last one was from his sister ,it has been good for 8 yrs but Monday he was rushed to hospital with chest pains ,they have had him hooked up to all sorts of machines and in an induced coma since Monday but his body could take no more and we lost him last night.
We still do not know what he died of so he will have an autopsy

I still feel it even though I have lived in OZ for some 45 yrs I have made it that I have stayed very close to all my rellies as I still miss them very much ,unfortunately I cannot afford to go back this time for his funeral ,I would like too but just to soon after my Auntie Pats funeral in Jan

Arthur I hope you have had a wonderful weekend ,so nice to be able to just pop off to Belgium,you are so close to it from the Uk.

Robert you just can't stay away can you and I am glad as we missed you on here.

Evelyn I do hope you and Ron are coping Ok,it must be very difficult for you but my love & thoughts are with you both as always <3

Going to sit down and watch and old black and white movie as I don't feel like doing anything at the moment.

Might be in a better farme of mind tomorrow .
Love to all my dear friends.
Suex :-( <3 <3 <3

I am so very sorry to hear this news.

It is always hard when one leaves the country of one's birth, and goes far away.

We are still having pretty nice weather here .......... cold nights (close to 0C last night), but the days are sunny, and getting up to about 7 or 8C. Such a change from the dreary heavy rain days that we often have in November and December.


We have one of those Occupy sites in Vancouver. The Mayor has been refusing to take any action against them, as long as they obey the law. It has not been easy for him, because we have municipal elections on November 19 ..... and one of his opponents for the Mayor's job, a whining complainer of a woman who has been on Council for the last 3 years as the only member not in his party or affiliated with his party ........................... has been going after him. "When I am Mayor (or IF I was Mayor), I would have (had) this site closed down immediately"


She doesn't seem to have realised what happened in Melbourne or Oakland when those cities did try to clear out the Occpy-iers.


Anyway ............. one guy overdosed on Thursday, was taken to hospital sharpish and will be OK. Then a woman was found unresponsive in her tent and later died on Friday afternoon

......... and the Mayor now says the city staff are examing the legal means of closing the site down.


There are far too many tents on the site, tarpaulins covering tents, propane bottles (full and empty) on site against the law. The Fire Chief has declared the site unsafe for occupancy, and ordered improvements to be made.

Presumably this will be included in the city staff deliberations.

Morning all

Sue I am so sorry to hear your news - So very sad - however you will be at the funeral in spirit if not in body - I know he will know you are thinking of him on that very sad day.

Sylvia - they seem to pop up in all the big cities -

Someone somewhere needs to have a bit of common sense about all this recession etc in the world - they need to do something - what I don't know.

Its about time the governments came to realise thats its not the poor who need to be taxed - Its the rich ones who need to give more as they earn more - the poor need to be taxed less so they can have a life.

I think they need more women in government & more normal housewives who have to live on a budget - they would soon see sense then.

Well off my soap box now.

We sort of had a good weekend with the outlaws - no arguments - but my M in L could certainly teach the Spanish Inquisition a few things - she has a way of getting info out of you without you realising it - not so much the bright light on you or water torture - but have a sweetie little girl tactics.

Found myself discussing things with her I didn't want to & then had to try & dig my way out - the trouble is they split us up - he takes my OH & starts on him & she corners me in the bedroom - we won't let that happen again - unless we don't get a choice.

These oldies get very cunning.

Well better get to work - see what has been going on over the weekend.

Arthur - hope you had a good time in Bruge. Lovely place.

OH & I tried twice to get there by car - fist time we missed it - how we don't quite know - 2nd time there were so many traffic jams we spent nearly 3 hours trying to get in & had to turn back or miss our train home.

We started out extra early the 3rd time & had a fantastic day there - its very pretty. If we get the chance we are going to try Sluis next time as I ahve heard thats lovely too.

Take care all - will pop by later <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone

Thank You for your kind wishes,I am feeling better today .

It was all such a shock as he was only a young man with everything to live for ,we are waiting now for the details of his funeral so we can arrange flowers to be sent re Inter floral.

Anne I totally agree we need more women in politics ,we do budget better and most of us don't waste money.
I am getting sick of hearing about all the money we give away to other countries none of us can afford it but we still keep bailing countries out.

I believe our pollies also treat the countries monies as there own and spent it like there is no tomorrow.
So much waste.

The weather here is bad at the moment rain wind and the occasional thunder and lightning,trying to get my washing dry without much luck I am affraid.

Drop in later tonight.
Suex <3 <3

So sorry to hear your sad news Sue. 58 is so young these days. My thoughts are with you. <3




My word Arthur, you do get about don't you? It must have been the complexity of Evelyn's thread which has caused you to rush off for a quiet break - it has that effect on most of us :-D :-D

Actually, all is quiet on there at the moment. It has little flurries of activity when a new line of enquiry is being investigated.



I really don't know what to make of all these 'camps' which are springing up everywhere. It reminds me so much of the 1960's when rebellion (and love) was in the air. I don't mind people standing up for what they believe in at all, but I am always unsure as to whether some just jump on the bandwagon to cause trouble and upset. :-(

Honestly Anne, what am I going to do with you??

Right, go onto your Home Page where it says 'Hello Anne'.

On the left hand side you will see the word Community and, under that 'A selection of this month's videos'.

Underneath the 4 video pictures, click where it says 'view other members' success here'.

At the bottom right of the next screen, you will Photos. Evelyn's mum is about the sixth one down.

Hope that helps.....

I am still hithering and zithering around - nothing fantastic just a bit busy at times.

Had better go for my shower soon...

Waving ~~~~~~~~ to Robert, Sallie and Evelyn and all our friends.


<3 <3 to all. Cx.

Thank you Cynthia :-D

How was i to know to look at videos - i was looking for something saying photos :-P ;-)

Nice to put a face to the name - you wouldn't think someone as innocent as that could cause this much trouble.

I will promise not to do it again - hangs head in shame again

:-D :-D :-D <3
