Find Ancestors

I give up, Hazel. How do you know who is not helpful, or how many of them there are?

A lot of people here consider it *very* helpful to point out when a member has started multiple threads.

It's helpful *to the helpful people* who then don't waste their time ...


Huh. Funny ...

You're right there.
I.ve been helped by some really lovely people. which has enabled me to get back as far as 1780. Without there help I would never have managed.
I really have appreciated all there help. Unfortunately not everyone is as helpful.

Hazel

Good luck, Hazel!

Lucky that reading multiple posts by people who don't read the rules doesn't put other members off offering help, eh?

I don't think I'll bother.
I'm still pretty new at researching my family tree. and finding my way round the different sites and so called threads, but when you get replies like I did, it stops you asking for any help at all. I'll do it on my own.


Hazel

Digging up old threads is hardly ever productive.

There's a lot of it happening today............

Hazel and Lily with a thread this old it is unlikely that Barry would look back it it... if you click on his name you can send a message , if he is still on GR that is.

I apologise for messing up. Won't be asking again.

Hazel

Hazel ... look up the thread ... you've been here before with the same request.

Did you ever put your own request on a board?

... answer ... yes ... several times ...

and likely in a couple of lookup threads too.

Hazel: one post per topic (and one board only). All you need to do if you want to try again is find the thread (click on "My threads" on the left side) and add a post to it, which will bring it back to the top.



Just wanted to note -- this thread is a fine example of what a mess it makes when people go around deleting their posts in threads. The entire thread makes no sense, and will never be any use to anyone else who might read it in later months or years.

Why oh why oh why to people feel this compulsion to delete totally harmless posts from the boards??

Hi Barry, just wondering if Patricks wifes maiden name mightbe Mahon,as it is a fairly common Irish name.

hi Cassidy,

That’s interesting, but she is not shown as Maria in any in the census or the birth certificate that I have (although have 3 more on order), but I can't find a Maria married to a Patrick in the 1851 census! (just searched quickly)
So that could be a possibility, will have to look into that one.

Barry

The Patrick Higgins I found was living at 1 Northside of Stockdale Street, Liverpool (Howard Street district), age 22 and shown as an EMIGRANT, the Mary I was looking at was on the same sheet aged 26, but just realised that she's at a different address, but both are shown as visitors, so it's possible!.

I hate all these grey areas!!!!!!!

Barry
