My grandfathers sister, luckily, married someone with a slightly unusual surname & i was able to find them in records. Found their children plus wife, plus grand child. Brill but still no connections(I dont think) on here or ancestry..bummer.

	Thats lucky lady have you tried searching the irish websites National Library of Ireland Kildare Street Dublin 2. might help. I wish you luck it is so much better when you find an unusual name it is harder when you get Smith or Brown or Harris Sue will know this last one. I will be off later this morning for a week so will not be doing any research until I come back. Rita x

	I'm here now.... Been tidying up around where we live, all the Barns look a bit more respectable, we have twice a year a working day, 2hrs of making all the shrubs and weed killing all the weeds in the kerbs in and around the Barns. It was such a lovely day.......BUT .....I BROKE a NAIL.....UGHHHH. So had to go and put another false one on....then gave up...I let hubby carry on working .. But Hey ...the bit of clearing of shrubs that I did got brownie points LOL So all was worth it in the end. Shelly lovely news about Olly as you know now, and tell daughter he is our little HERO....our very own ... mascot. All them little pin pricks ...how dare they stick that many needles in him ....But your daughter is glad to have him home safe away from them Pin pricks .!! Having dinner now I did some pork in wine, I hope its OK..Its smelling Thats for sure ...

	Hi All Back from a lovely couple of days away. The show was good, well we were there from before 10 til after 6 so it must have been good. Found a great hotel B&B just a short walk across a field from the showground, so great for hubby and he could have a drink with no worries. Met with Jude(also on GR) who is from near Monmouth. She's really nice and her hubby too. We got on like a house on fire. So much chatting, one of the reasons we left the show so late and even saw the hot air balloons go up. Shelly I am so glad that baby Ollie is back home where he belongs, give him a gentle hug from me. Hope all others are well See you in the morning Linda :o) XxX PS MO it was Sue

	()? ()? ()? ()? ()? ()? ()? ()? {_}? [_] Cuppa first(including Sue's posh one again) Already got the nets in a wash and last nights ready to hang out. Not sure if it's worth it but better than hanging around indoors. Looks a bit overcast on the forecast, just hope they got the "possible showers in Berkshire " wrong. !! Hubby has left but should be back for lunch after his training session. Sorry Pauline forgot to say he seems fine after his funny"turn". No repeat thank goodness. Well research today I hope. Sent an e-mail to my uncle in America asking him what he remembers as he is the youngest in the family and my Mum is getting worse with the dementia. Have a good day everyone Linda :o) XxX

	Morning All, I'm early today, must be the sun thats shinning . Blimey no Pauline Or Sue yet ? Linda, Thanks for the tea just what I needed ...lovely . Cant make up my mind what to do today.......hubby suggested to cut the hedge as all my honeysuckle has died down a bit ,and is looking a bit drab. Then after that, in town I suppose, at least I get exercise that way ! I had rubbish hot matches yesterday .....took me about 20 mins or more to delete them, why do they say its Hot matches when they are all Cold ones. Back later.....~~~~~~~

	Wow Marilyn, did you wet the bed?...........LOL I think your body's been taken over by an alien. You worked outside yesterday (even broke a nail), and now you're up out of bed early. This is not the real Marilyn!! Shelly have you gone somewhere nice or are you working today? It's horrible here, dark and wet (hope it's not like this where Rita is). I've got towels in the washer, looks like I'm gonna have to put them in the dryer. Linda, glad you enjoyed your weekend away and no more funny turns for your hubby. Thanks for the cuppa, I'll have it now. Come on then Sue, where are the photos? Mo, you've been quiet, are you busy? Looks like Lady went out to work without drinking her coke.
