Oh it's good to have you back Sheila !I do have a giggle when I read your posts.You should have taken a photo of them stuck in the window!!!.That Don sounds like a right one.Did you say he is is only 23?.If he is what the heck is he doing with a lady Beryls age???.After her money?????

I'm now wondering do I need to water the garden.I don't think I will.If Chris wants it done he can do it himself later lol

I am trying to find a Marriage of a Walter Cole to a Jane ? in Bideford sometime in the 1800's.I am guessing at somewhere 1850 to 60 something.Am having trouble .Can anyone help?

Thank you Ann the weather was mixed in Wales very windy but bright and sunny here now always the way. Somebody else got a messy person like me .My craft stuff is all over but my hubby buys really pongy cheese and it stinks out the kitchen he leaves it on the kitchen top and I end up wrapping it in foil and putting it in a container and hiding it. He comes in wheres my cheese

I think Sophia will be missed she does all the work .I go in
and do the cash till and things and make coffee or tea
and just try to look pretty behind the counter Do not know David but hope Ralph is ok also my thoughts are with him
also. Where are all these lovely photoes Where do the
Koi come from sound lovely. Our little dogs followed me everywhere today now he is sitting on my feet so tight I cannot move.

Yes twenty three dead pan faced looks like a tall zombie
with an earing. I think he finds her funny he says but not at the moment and I think shes told him shes got a bob or two. I will try and help find those people Jane.

Sheila I visited Rhyll with my OH who was there on business in January. It was freezing then with a horizontal wind blowing and didn't look its best....... I hadn't been there since I was age 5.

So Beryl was getting her beauty sleep when you visited then! She'll be pleased to see you tonight I bet.

Jane is this it?? Was he born 1853?

A Walter Cole could have married a Jane Jeffery at Bideford in the December quarter in 1871.

Gosh Rhyl was a shock it used to be lovely a bit run down
now I thought. But the children love it .We were not keen
to stay and it was so windy and cold. I went when I was young to Gronnent when about 10 years old and the beach
was white sand and the weather really hot. I had school trips to Rhyl and loved it but now like you say Ann it is run down and cold.
Beryl was asleep I waited sometime for her to wake.The nurse said she is not well the shocks just set in

Jane Report 4 Aug 2010 17:55

Ann ,I think that could be the one.You clever thing.Why couldn't I find it?
Funny her being a Jeffery .My birth mother was a Jeffers!!!.The ones I'm looking up are my adoptive Gt Grandparents.

Sheila I got yours ok and have sent 2 pics so far.I don't think it is a good idea to put your email address on the thread ,just in case someone sees it who you don't want .It can be seen by anyone.It might be best if you just delete that post .You don't want any old odd bod knowing your email !!!!!.Please don't think I'm tellling you what to do ,I'm just thinking of your privacy.

YES did that Jane thank you .I agree with you there so many weirdos around. Look forward to your pictures Jane I will have to get one of me and Beryl but not sure how you
send them. Laugh if you like but I am hopeless at computoring. I did go for a course but it turned out to be spread sheets and I hated it think I chose the wrong course after two weeks everyone dropped out and I
do not want to be alone and they said well we cannot teach
you without more people and gave me my money back was I pleased. I do not have many recent photoes with Beryl though she wont have her picture taken.

Jane Report 4 Aug 2010 19:24

LOL Sheila ,I too went to computer classes .I lasted 2 lessons.The spread sheet thing put me right off.I was so embarassed at always having my hand up for help.I have had this laptop for 3 years now and am just happy that I can do what I do .As long as I can do GR,send emails,and look up things on Google ,thats fine.I'm hopeless really .My family get so exasperated with me.Mel told me how to copy and paste ,many times.I did do it and have now forgotten .I'm a lost cause !!!!
You should have had my 2 pics now.

Mandy,I will be thinking of you all day tomorrow and dear old Toby having his OP.Do you have to starve him after midnight?I know what I am like when Chester has had to go in for something.
