When we claimed our pensions in the UK we had to provide a marriage certificate as a provision for a widow/widower was included. Did this apply to your relatives.

When I read about Thomasin I thought it was a year ago that we were thinking of Vanessa. Really miss her cheery smile.

Thank you all for your advice. I think it will be free versions from now on.

Our granddaughter had a 6 month old Dell laptop which failed, money paid for it has been refunded and so a new computer had been purchased as a replacement. However during the intervening 6 months...

I've also pondered as to why when one belongs to a mailing list which you have included in your list of contacts quite often some of the emails end up in the spam box whilst others go into the inbox....

The world seems to be ending for us in Cornwall and Devon, anyone got a spare Ark we are disappearing under water.

Thoroughly enjoyed the John Bishop episode.

I had this series on a "series link" I notice that the John Bishop episode did not automatically get listed to record but I have now put it in my planner.

That was an interesting image connected to Madge Banbury as lots of the women listed seemed to be machinists, dressmakers and other occupations connected to the clothing type industry.

Thank you for looking, strange isn't it. I think we will never know the answers.

That is a possibility I will keep it in mind. Have you a way to find if John witford and Tabitha Reen had more than one child? They were married in 1804, I've only got one son John b1805.

Sue

Tabitha Reen (nee Melhuish, bap 1765) - could not be found in the censuses so we thought she must have died, re-married or emigrated, but she has been discovered in the 1841 Census. It's a poor...

I've always loved my Foxworthy family. They lived in Blackawton, Devon and were either Tailors or Stone Masons. Always wondered why a small village in the middle of nowhere needed so many tailors.

Elias hodge married Mary Franklin Rayment in Plymstock in 1779. I have found the baptisms for three children, Elias Rayment, Elizabeth Rayment, and Thomas Rayment. However in the burials of...

I thought when one was baptised you were given a certificate but perhaps that did not happen in the 1800's. Their mother had excellent handwriting as per the 1911 census so I would have thought she...

I did wonder about that.
