I know I'm late to the party, but ...

"I am not a chauvinist and certainly see no harm in females following those career paths if that is their desire but in years gone by I cannot recall females earning their living in similar occupations out of choice. I know that during wartime females were inducted into many occupations that had traditionally been considered male preserves because of the physicality involved but once peace was restored they usually reverted to the more traditional female roles."

And I say I pontificate ...

No, they didn't revert.

They were fired. And they weren't hired into such "masculine", *well-paid* jobs again for a few decades.

And when they got good ladylike jobs, they were fired when they got married.

Honestly, yes, women just make these fool decisions all by ourselves with no outside influence, let alone coercion ...

I have women friends who are carpenters, for example. And a couple who are clergy. Not to mention lawyers.

All of them forced into those jobs, I'm sure, when they'd rather be doing some proper lady job.

And why anyone finds it appropriate to refer to women as "females", I have yet to figure out. I quite enjoyed watching a judge toake a cop to task for that in court one day quite some years ago.

Meds are kicking in so I think it i best if I go to bed now and leave you all to it !!

The Owens one --

"says on there previously Discharged 1908
Demobilized 1919"

Not too unusual I think, lots would have re-enrolled or been called back up for WWI.

My grf was discharged in 1908 but was in again for WWI. But then he was discharged with ignominy and enrolled again a year later under a fake name ... and stayed in until 1925ish. Can't wait for those records to get released, but his will probably be among the missing ones.

Night Dea x

And you are forgiven :-)

Well if sue was'nt offered a drink or any nibbles no wonder she did'nt stop. I was on the phone to my dad so I could'nt step in :D

"occupation not known. Slept here Sunday night goes away Monday mornings. Could get his information put here up to 13/4/91"

Owens JC??And there was me sure that I and everyone else was looking at a Mr Evans's Army records...

You having a "very" senior moment?Not like you sweetpea.. :D

she's working very hard Fans



have to allow some leeway for those trying to earn a crust of bread

:))





well, that's better than calling it a "senior moment"!

Hi JC,

Which dictionary do you prefer to use, Websters, the Oxford or some other? They all seem to give a very similar definition.

Revert (Verb) To return to a previous state , practice, topic, etc.

Sorry that you and the judge cannot figure it out why anyone finds it appropriate to refer to women as "females". I always thought that was exactly what they were. Perhaps all those female voice choirs should be called womens voice choirs. ;-)

I think Missy JC...you have a secret???? for Mr J ;)

Oh BTW..we have had lots of mates, booze and even more food tonight....feeling very tired


I used to feel squiffy.....just tired now!


It is JBs Birth Dy :D

And while the "debate"rages I jump up and down in glee.....

Found David John Evans's grandmothers baptism in 1821 on Familysearch..........AND it gives her mothers maiden name...

In the words of Victor Meldrew


I DONT believe it :D

Congratulations Fanny. Finding anything definite about someone in Wales called Evans can only be regarded as a minor miracle.

Thank you Jonesey.

Cough...Hactually his grandma was a JONES (Rachel,phew,thank Evans not a Mary..!)at birth...But its definately her...And found her brother David Jones bapt in 1816 as well....
Rachel Jones married a Mr Richards and then their daughter MARY married Mr Evans to make David John Evans(among others).....

I am 100% sure I have this line right...Cost an arm and a leg on certs :O

Are you sure Fans.....do you have the cert


heeee heee heee
