Don't look Viv..........you'll get a happy glow if you see a name you recognise as one of yours and then it's really hard to resist.........lol

Try the advanced search Viv, you can get loads from that :)

I know I could find many more but I just daren't look because I'd want them all !!!
My Dad and my grandparents and his family are in London, my grandmothers family are in Cambridgeshire and my maternal line is in Bedfordshire.
I'll celebrate with the divorce settlement when it comes through and get them then.

Pat:))) I just wish it worked like ancestry! I have a few women who I suspect are cohabiting but not married and if I could search on christian name and birth place I might be abe to get them:)

To my surprise, I think that I may have found the girls on Free BMD.

There are two possible date combinations for both, but with pen and paper to work out when GG grandmother Ellen was pregnant with the surviving children, I think I have the correct children. Just need to send off for the birth certs now.

Wow, this hobby is expensive!!

How annoying is that, Kim:(

Lesley and Chris, you have to register at the site that a couple of us have put on this thread and you'll be able to use it when it comes back online, although I think it's on til tomorrow night.

Hiya Carolyn, I haven't much restraint either (well you know that lol)

Viv, as long as the info is there and you come by it eventually it's cool isn't it - just the journey can be bloody frustrating;))

YES, I am too.
Have done little else online but look on the 1911 since it arrived. I have though found a few things that are really interesting. I know now that the grandfather I 'thought' was mine, definatley is! :-)
I have also confirmed my belief that my great grandmother changed her first name as a child, She is on the 1911 using both names. So I am very pleased.
I took full advantage of the advanc search and found that you can actually find quite a lot without spending anything - Especially if the names are more unusual.
i too wish that you could have a wildcard search facility - I am desperate to find my Romanian ancestors (Although I don't know for certain that they were in Engand by then) but with such an unusual surname, I cannot be sure if they are not here or if the name has been spelt wrong. i need to search by fist name.
I do however think that it is expensive, I have purchased the images that are extra important to me, and just the transcripts for the others. My husband gave me a pressie plus £30 to spend on the 1911 from the children for Christmas! LOL, Im eating the credit Card bill too!!!

Pat

I too would like to know - am not a newby - has something passed me by?

David, my grandfather was very honest about his family, shame his elder more financialy affluent brother wasn't !!!

I have a copy of his will proved in 1924 ( written in 1917) and he calls this woman by his surname and in brackets her surname from her second marriage and he says she has lived with him as his wife these many years. There is no record of a marriage for them and she inherits all his money and property (2 houses).

No wonder I'm skint LOL.

Hi David, I've had great fun over the last few days, definitely my best christmas present (I know sad isn't it) and have managed to find most of mine that should be there. I've just added it all up and I've got 21 images and I do know exactly how much I've spent and it's quite shocking (good job my hubby never reads these boards). I've spread it over a few credit/debit cards so it won't look too bad if he spots them one at a time!!
I don't know how some of you can be so restrained, if I know it's there I've got to have it, just waiting for Essex to complete my full house!

Carolyn

I spent £6.95 and got blanko!!

He is there but Transcribed or Orginal blank, hey ho

Kim
