......oh, and I forgot the 'pear' of twins and a mango. My Dad is the 'man-go'.....he left home when I was small!!! Don't forget about all those 'dates' we've been researching as well!

Natalie

Natalie Report 16 Sep 2004 19:41

Just a thought, but really the 'mango' should be anyone who appears on the 1871 & 1891 Census....but disappears without trace on the 1881. Which causes us to leave messages on the Trying to Find board saying "Where did that mango?"!!!!!
