its the marriage of a John Samuel Keen 16/11/1834 Christchurch to a Elizabeth either Ivy or Joy

Hi - it says Elizabeth Ivy as far as I can make out. If it said 'Joy' the 'J' would look like the 'J' on 'John'. Hope that's helped.

Thanks for checking for me ,thats what I thought but somebody in the family said it is Joy Its not always easy to read the writing

Valerie, haven't we looked at this before? I would have thought your best bet was to look at the actual parish record entry (church name given as T. Christch Newgate, if that helps) to see what it says rather than relying on transcriptions (even Pallot's Marriage Index is just a transcription, as of course is the IGI.) But as far as Pallot's goes, it definitely says Ivy. I think the confusion crept in because the IGI says Joy, if I remember rightly. Kate.

thanks Kate the problem is some of my rellies say its Joy others sat its Ivy thanks will see if anybody can have a look for me

Have you looked at both images?? There's one image with her name first and one with his. The one with her name first looks even more like Ivy than the other one!! I'd say they both read Ivy. Merry

thanks Merry I never thought of doing that DUH you are too clever for me today

Will that be 50p then???? (I understand there's a living to be made from this family history lark?!) Merry

gosh Merry you are cheap was going to offer you £1 but 50p it will be then. You are hanging around Heather too much !!!!! and getting bad habits.

So, Heather is cheap too??!!! lol tee-hee! Merry

actually no she is expensive she charges for all tips not just the odd one.

Maybe she is saving up for a cleaner. Where I live you can hire nude male cleaners!! lol I don't know anyone who has hired one, but what do you think?? Merry

no thanks I dont want to see dangly bits would rather do it myself. Is that why Heather is quiet on here tonight then ????

That's funny.....exactly what I thought, on both counts! Merry

just noticed she is on the other thread so she must have finished watching the vacuming being done !!!

LOL!!! Merry (feeling slightly sick now, at the thought!)

Actually, that nude cleaning is part of Glen's gimp contract with me and now the turnips have either rotted or been used to simulate manure heaps on his Norfolk scale model, I might even hold him to it.

I wouldn't hold the tinsel either, if I were you?! Merry

I bet these subjects have never been aired on a thread about Pallot's before?! Merry

BTW Val, Ive been studying my enrolment list for the Anoraks Housewifery Course and your name is noticeable for its absence. It is a bargain - and you get the free gifts if you sign up this week. You also get free (like Merry) the 'Make money easily from anoraks' handbook
