I've been looking for your guys


and nada!


I think that what happened was that Thomas and Charlotte seaprated after Minnie was born, hence she lived with her grandparents after that.

I then think that at some point Charlotte began to live with a Mr Page, common-law ........ Florence should show up on the 1891 Census, but I can't find her.

Obviously Charlotte couldn't marry Mr Page, as Thomas was still alive.



But she could marry after Thomas died.

Hi Everyone, Sorry it's been a while.

I started my new Job at the end of May and work 4 hours 5pm-9pm Mon -Thurs. It Feels odd going to work at night, am enjoying working as a telephone Interviewer.

Something I never imagined I would ever do, as I have had a Phobia about phoning strangers all my life Until now. when I have confronted it .
The first week though, I found myself in a state of share panic an hour before I had to leave for work each evening. But that has now gone.

I see that you have been enjoying the Jubilee Celebrations I was astounded to hear that people suffered mild Hypothermia on the Thames during the River Pageant I thought it was supposed to be Summer over there?

The weather over the last few days has been extremely cold and wet, we are fully into winter now with good snow falls at all the popular ski resorts.

Also poor Christchurch has had to contend with the Snow, Nearly a year and a half since the devastating earthquake, there are a lot of people who are still waiting for their houses to be repaired, or have no house at all and are living in Tents , Caravans or Cars.
Continuous after shocks since Feb last year have made it difficult for decisions to be made as to what areas have to be abandoned and not rebuilt on and what areas are safe, where damaged houses can be repaired.

Sylvia I am sorry to hear that your Cabin was broken into again.

Evelyn wonderful to see you on the Thread again, So Sorry to hear about your Brother.

I saw mention on the Thread about the TV show 'Harry Law" I have been thoroughly enjoying watching that . Luckily the series finished here before I started work as I only get to see a few programmes that OH tapes for me.

I made and decorated a 2 Tier Wedding Cake for a friend of my Son's. The wedding was on Saturday. The Cake was Chocolate Strawberry. with white Fondant Icing and decorated with Strawberries made out of Fondant, and a Bride and Groom On top.
I learnt how to Cake Decorate years ago at night school classes. And have made and decorated School Jubilee Cakes, Wedding Cakes and assorted Birthday and Anniversary cakes over the years.

I normally make moulded flowers for Wedding Cakes but this Bride wanted Strawberries and being winter real Strawberries where not an option. Personally, though I was happy with my work I thought the cake looked more like a little girls Birthday Cake than a Wedding Cake.
The Bride who is only 19, was absolutely delighted with it.

I must go and make my Sons lunch to take to Work as he leaves in Half an hour.
Take Care Everyone, catch you all later.

Hi josie - really pleased you love your new job.

How wonderful being so artistic with cake decorating - would love to be like that - but I don't have the talent. I do like the idea of the wedding cake.

Didn't realise you had so much S*** in NZ - I have always wanted to visit & maybe even move there is I had the chance & the cash - now - I am not so sure - I can live with Earthquakes - but the cold & S*** thats another matter.

Do you get any S*** in the North Island around Wanganui or Rotorua - They would be my ideal areas - OH family emigrated over there in the 1800's - so he really wants to visit - one day we will get there. We are in contact with a distant cousin there - who sent us some photos - it was amazing to see them from so long ago.

Managed to get back from the outlaws in one piece - perhaps they have taken note of the economic climate at last - they haven't had a go at us about OH getting a part time job in weeks. Its sort of been a pleasure to visit - but we are always on our guard incase the topic turns up. you just can't relax - so you don't really get a weekend.

Gone back to work today for a rest. (some hope)

I have to admit i am fed up with the TV at the moment - its Football all the time -

Harry's Law has been Axed Josie - such a shame as I really enjoyed it - Did you get to see both series? - well I had better go - work calls.

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

Sylvia

Frustrating that we can't find either of them.

William Sheppard must have been a saint to take on a wife and 3 children - not belonging to his wife!

Thanks for looking

Arthur

Some good reading.......hi Josie - lovely to hear about your new job and all the things which have been happening to you.

It is 'supposed' to be summer over here, but it was really unfortunate that the weather was dreadful for the jubilee celebrations. It could be that Prince Philip caught cold whilst watching the flotillas as it was so cold and wet.


I do envy people who are so artistic with their hands. I have a few friends who are good at cake decorating.........my Christmas cakes always used to be 'snow scenes' because all I could do was fluff the icing up with a fork :-D


Arthur, hope you find your rellies........I've just discovered that my gt.grandfather had a marriage I didn't know about - nor did others it seems :-0 I found it by looking through online parish records....I much prefer searching those to look at census. I get all gozzle-eyed with those.

The new meds my OH is on are really working well at the moment. His walking has improved and he even managed to complete the parish walk on Sunday - similar to the Whit Walks - north of England stuff!

This morning, I dropped him off so that he could walk home downhill and got a phone call a little while later asking if I could pick him up. I scurried off and found him standing forlornly in the lane - it seems he had done something to his calf muscle and it was painful!

I brought him home and had a word with the surgery. A doc phoned and chatted to him and he has been told to rest it with ice. Never a moment's peace round here...... :-D


Take care all.......going to look through some more parish registers soon.....Cx <3

Cynthia - really please to hear the OH is a lot better on the new meds - such a same he over did it a bit.

Which Parish record site do you use? always eager to find new place to stick my nose in to.

Cynthia - I just want you to sit down now - brace yourself - you may need a small brandy stading by - I have a week off next week and it looks like I actually may take the whole week off - not just a few days & then rush back in again.

Not that we are able to go anywhere - so looks like I may get some house work done :-P :-P :-P :-P and do some family history work :-D :-D :-D - would love to go to a few record offices - but the cost of fuel is rubbish and we dont have the spare cash.

Its our 14th Wedding anniversary on Sunday - I would like to go for a meal - but will probably go to M & S & get a dine in for 2 option instead or a take away.

I would love to go back to Gretna next year just for a long weekend to relive our wedding - Fingers crossed we will come up on the lottery & have the option to do so.

Hope Evelyn is keeping well - we need you back on here - we need livening up <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Love to all on regulars on this thread <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Have to rush back as we have a big flap on now

Take care all ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hello all my lovely friends,
Sadly no good news re my brother, he is fading fast.
I am in quite a happy frame of mind today, Leslie and Margaret (son and daughter in law) arrived last night from Scotland and I have had a super day with them, also been to the Doctor for my 3 monthly check up and he is very pleased with me.
We went out for lunch then this evening we all got involved with preparing the meal which was enjoyable.
I will try to pop in again soon.
My love to you all and thank you so much for your caring and support, I really do appreciate it.

Cynthia

You discovered you great grandfather had married again.

Through the help of people on Genes I discovered that a great grandfahter had a death bed marriage - to a neighbour some 30+ years younger. I also found out the death of his first wife which was my real query.

Haven't found a murderer - yet :-)

Could Nellie be a possible alternative for Lilian Beatrice

I have a possible marriage where the bride is Lilian Beatrice, but on the 1911 Census the wife is Nellie.

Hi Everyone

Evelyn it is lovely to see you back and I am sorry to hear about your brother <3.

I was helping someone yesterday and they turned out to have a very different name than we were given for him so your Diane could have been bap ts with a different name as she does not seem to want to be found ,but i am a great believer that she will turn up one day .

I have had a brilliant week with going around the boards again and really enjoying it ,I have had the Grandaughter around quite a bit lately too with the new baby ..she is just beautiful but I am biased she is my first Grt Grandchild.

Our weather had been so bad of late now it has gone very cold as the rain has gone away for a while but will be back again on Monday they are telling us .

Josie nice to see you back again and pleased you like your new job,I hope you continue to like it ,i get a bit fed up with the phone always ringing.

I am off to the boards ..been out all day ..need my fix for the day.

Love to you all

<3 <3 <3

Hope all is well with Robert and his Wife <3 <3 <3.

Suex :-D :-D :-D

rain rain go away :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

I have never felt so angry.

The Highways officer came today to look at my site.

Result - I must reinstate the grass and the attendant problems with dogs.

Why - the County council do not want it to set a precedent if they allow me to keep the pea shingle.

I am carefully considering my next step. Any legal suggestions would be gratefully received.

It is a shame I cannot post a picture here so that you can see how it was and how it now is. Everyone, without exception who visits me says how nice the front looks.
Only the Councillor neighbour objected, and she waited until I had laid the membrane, shovelled 23 tonnes of pea shingle, installed posts and rope and then added shrubs. She only lives six houses from me and could have stopped me as I had the grass, soil and excrement removed - the truck was impossible to miss.

The Parish council had voted to allow me to keep the pea shingle, provided that I remove the posts and rope. Apparently that has no standing and only the CountyCouncil ruling is enforceable.

Hope my EuroMillions ticket comes up tonight - will then be able to employ the best brains to see if I can make the Council chamge their verdict.

I can see the why the Council do not want to set a precedent, but the scrubby piece of grass was never walked on in the last nine years. It does not represent the only safe place to walk. Clearly there are areas of grass along country lanes that are the only safe areas to walk and should not be obstructed by householders whose properties are adjacent.
Surely each case can be viewed on its merits and the Parish Council would seem, to me, the best place for such resolution.

Rights of way are important, but the rules governing them were drawn up in an entirely different time for a very real purpose. Times have changed and nioboidy is adversely affected by my attempt to remove a health hazard and eyesore, and make my village a little more beautiful.

old

go to your m p

go to the papers

go to your local bbc radio station

write to consumer mags they sometimes will help with legal questions

make a fuss to who ever

if the worst comes to the worst do not forget the dogs mess

but keep chearfull do not let them get you down :-| :-|

wish you luck

sally w <3

Sally

You can be sure that I won't let the b*****s get me down.

I am very carefully considering my position. The glare of publicity might just work against me if I lose and the Council then enforce the 30 day ruling - even with all my friends helping it will take time to remove 23 tonnes of pea shingle and find somewhere to put it.

Writing to my MP seems the best option at this time - he was extremely helpful to me when my mother died. I pointed out flaws in the system relating to pensions, the numerous duplicated intrusive forms that it was necessary to complete before any monies owed could be transferred to my account.

Before I take any action, I will write to my County Councillor who has been extremely helpful throughout, even though ultimately unable to get a satisfactory resolution. Sometimes it is who you know, not what you know. He perceptively said "You are really angry because the 'old witch' - my words not his - has won.
