Di, you can send it as an attachment via a pm. Just click on the board name to send a message to anyone who offers.
You can send it to me if you like.

I'm willing to have a try if you want to send it attached to a private message.

Oh brilliant will try both of you if that is ok x

Di Report 3 Feb 2021 17:20

It won't let me send a message to Island?

But as I have contacted Kath before it is allowing me to send a message

If Kath does not receive it, I am willing to have a go.

What wont let you send a message to me Di?

Island

Island Report 4 Feb 2021 11:52

Pretty dismayed.... 51 views and only three responders!
Yet again, it's darn obvious what the op is about so why push up the view count by opening the thread with nothing to add?

Maybe Di could add ‘sorted’ to the title.

I answered Di's private message with what I thought were the correct names from the baptism document she sent me and also a transcription I found on Findmypast which I think was nearer the mark. The baptism was from the 1600's so quite old fashioned writing.

I had a go as well.

Island Report 4 Feb 2021 23:45

I did offer.....

Is the query now solved?

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 4 Feb 2021 23:50

Well Di seemed happy with the transcription I gave her but I'm not sure whether she thinks the query is now solved or not.

I don't think you can really ever get a definitive answer to this one as I know my translation was not the same as Kathleen's and that I came to it via a different route.

Isn't that what makes it fun?

Island

Island Report 5 Feb 2021 11:07

Even better fun if your offer is taken up ;-)

I see we have to send a pm rather than respond to a thread...... :-\

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 5 Feb 2021 11:16

I don't think it was that your offer just wasn't taken up Island. Di did say in her post that she wasn't able to send you a message - she did try.

It needed a pm to get the document.

That was the bit that caused me trouble.I don't have Word anymore and have the devils own job with the one I have now.

Island

Island Report 5 Feb 2021 11:41

Kath, I did ask why di 'why it wouldn't let her send me a message' and she hasn't said.
It's a bit concerning when I pay a sub like everyone else but apparently 'it' won't let pm's be sent to me. :-S

Island Report 5 Feb 2021 11:49

I thought helping other members by pm was much frowned up as it wasted others time?

Sharron

Sharron Report 5 Feb 2021 12:05

I will never question anything like that because I am so inept that I have big problems sending anything to anybody.

Didn't know helping behind the scenes was frowned upon, have only ever done anything like that furtively.
