Thank you very much for your effort, I really appreciate it.
I did say a couple of posts up that I'd found it was St. Pauls, but no problem, it's my own fault for being too vague!

Also thanks for the Aaron Bates marriage; I will check it out on the census. Since I haven't been able to positively identify Ann Bates in any shape or form before 1885, it's not impossible that there may be a link.

Again thanks for your time.
Beverley

That's her, Jan, but there is more than one Ann Bates born in 1866/7/8 in the same area and I am trying to find out which one she is.
I have a thread about her somewhere on 'Find Ancestors' so won't pursue the matter here.
I'll order the marriage cert and get her dad's name and occupation.
Many thanks
Beverley

Hi Zena,

I was so tired last night but stayed up to watch Under Siege and put some of the info I got yesterday into context.

After we'd parted, I did go back into the library for another hour. I was able to get a reader and thought I'd have the microfiche IGI for Eadie in Warwickshire. Wouldn't you know? Missing.

So I went off to buy some little extras for Alison's birthday today. I got some for Andrew's birthday next week too. It was very wet and lots of people were running for cover or hiding under umbrellas but I couldn't be bothered. So I was quite damp but I didn't care.

It was great to meet you all. Next time, we'll book film readers and go through Aston Juxta. When I got home, the internet was back up so I was able to look at all the info I couldn't take with me yesterday.

:-|

I slept like a log last night. First time in ages I haven't dreamed about painting walls, etc :-D

Hi to Jackie. Enjoy the rest of your week off.

Beverley, if you have the patience I am happy to double-check the other church when I go again.

I'm thrilled that you found him Zena. I tell you, sitting at that fiche reader made me question how I managed to do it for hours at a time. I am so glad there is now so much on the internet. Of course my eyes were twenty-plus years younger then :-)

As Jan says 'roll on the next time'

Pleased that you all had a good time at the library. Forgot to say that you could have tried to use one of the computers at the library for an hour (it's free!). Then you might have been able to get the info you wanted.

I have now made a list of known and possibe deaths for people in my family.

Might try to pop in there next wednesday to check out the "Wills Books".

I wouldn't be surprised if none of mine made a Will. However, it may help to cut my list of possibles down, if others of the same name have done so. (I hope that you can understand what I am trying to say.)

hope that you have all dried out now,

Tess

Hi Tess,

Hope you are feeling much better today. Sorry I didn't get back to you last night. The internet crashing on me yesterday morning was a big wake up call that for all my notebooks, I need to get tidied up with the info and think about a family tree programme. Trouble is that computer stuff itself doesn't interest me. I've actually bought a roll of wallpaper lining paper because I thought I'd create a proper paper tree. I wish I could meet you on Wednesday but I'm doing a picnic for Al's birthday and I hope the weather is better by then.

I understand what you are saying. Hope that you find some.
