Jigetstone!! LOL Is that Ingatestone? Merry

Yep - and I like your logic re saving all that money on the wine. Where do you reckon Finningsute West Smith is????? Other good news is my Kew researcher guy just mailed to say he had found hubbys GGF, sergeant in 1st Scots Guards and was mailing me the stuff. Bless, think Merry, thats saved me even more in fares to London, then across to Kew, lunch, evening meal etc. Oh thanks Book Lady for your input, only just seen it. Yes, I think we have this one sussed.

hi heather i put a message for you on the other thread not to do with this one about german passengers i have for a limited period the delux ancestry so i would be happy to look for you if you would like me to kind regards kerry suden

That is very kind of you, I have pmd you. But its the world deluxe Karen that the german passenger stuff is on - do you have that one? Brilliant if you can find him. Name is Christian Bauer, baker born Coblenz c1841. He married my ancestor Mary Ann Asbey Hanson in Stepney in 1871. Actually he seemed to get quite well off after this time, ended up living in a nice area of Essex with a servant for the family!

Hi Heather It was you who was looking for Alfords, wasn't it? I was at the LMA today - BIG TIP - DO NOT ATTEMPT RESEARCH ON A WDYTYA WEEKEND! - and I found a settlement examination for a John Alford in Lambeth. If this might be yours, I'll pm the details.

Oh blimey Brenda, that would be great. Yes, right area, Lambeth. I had a sneaking feeling his parents may be from Lincolnshire, though no facts. Thank goodness Im getting so many good things today, or Id go mad! I think I have to go to bed now folks, knackered and half a bottle of cheap wine down the throat. Still takes the pain off sons £844 mobile bill, eh> Thanks to everyone who have been so very helpful and kind today and apologies if you leave any messages after Im in land of nod. xxx

Oh goody. I'll start typing, then. Another tip - there are some WONDERFUL restaurants in Exmouth Market, just round the corner from FRC and LMA. The Turkish one is particularly good. (hic) And despite failing to come to grips with the microfilm printers and having my seat stolen by someone, I found one of my Skillings in Chelsea Workhouse (the settlement examination is about the only place where her birthplace is correct.) so it was an all round good day.

I know this should go on your thread on the General board but I haven't got time to go over there now as I'm off to bed... get him a Pay as You Go! Goodnight. Kate.
