Find Ancestors

sorry I haven't been around much


I decided to tidy up some of the siblings of my immediate ancestors ......... who did they marry, die, etc


so I've been immersed in parish records from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Why is that so many of both of our ancestors had relatively uncommon names ............ except in the area in which they actually lived?

Why is it they had to recycle the same limited number of forenames?

Why is it I can find the baptism of William with parents John and Susanna in both 1704 AND 1705, in the same church, with birth date given for both ........... and Susanna's maiden name is given in both records. BUT I cannot find the death of William #1?



grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I saw the eye specialist on Monday morning ........ I have to have another test done in January ............ fluoroscein angiography


I saw the dentist on Monday afternoon ................... no problems, so just came home with clean white sparkling teeth.


This afternoon (in about 3 hours), I go to the dermatologist to have the squamous cancer removed from my leg.


Then it will be time to think about Christmas!

What the heck are they looking for...have heard of a 'fluorescein angiography'....don't know it means?

Gins

it allows them to see how healthy are the blood vessels in the retina and below it.

I have been diagnosed with myopic macular degeneration, and the doc wants to know exactly what is going on

They inject a yellow dye in my arm, that's the fluoroscein, then they track it with a digital camera as the dye moves through the vessels in the eye.

Meanwhile ............. my skin might turn yellow for 36 hours or so, and my "p" will be dark yellow orange

and my eyes might be yellowish


Charming vision, eh?




Off to see the dermatologist now :-(

Soon be Christmas and we can have some nuts, some dates, some tangerines, some chestnuts, some parsnips, some sprouts, some roast tatties, some roast turkey (Quorn Chik'n cutlets available for vegetarians), some stuffing, some cranberry sauce, some roast pork complete with crackling, some Pigs in Blankets, some mashed potatoes with grated cheese, some peas, some onion gravy, some Christmas Pudding with brandy butter and custard, some Mince Pies, some single cream, some crackers containing paper hats, useless prezzies and daft jokes, some Sherry, some sparkling wine, some baked honey glazed ham, some Brandy, something to nibble whilst listening to Her Royal Maj's Christmas message, some buttered finger rolls, some lettuce, some cherry tomatoes, some celery, some sliced redskin onions, some boiled ham, some cold sliced turkey, some pickled red cabbage, some pickled sliced beetroot, some pickled onions, some Piccalilli, some Branston pickle and some Hellmans mayonnaise

Sylvs..............a sight for sore eyes!

Jonesey is obsessed with food

Kettle is on, toast and crumpets ready and some pig

Good morning all :-)

Thank you Ginns - that toasted bacon buttie was delicious <3 <3 <3

Another cold dark morning with the wind howling and the rain pouring down from the sky.................. :-( :-(

Hope you all have a good day today <3

See you later,

Dea Xxx

Morning all.......thanks for the bacon Gins.... :-D


OH got the all clear and is now discharged from the hospital - so he is no longer a head case.....hahahahahaha


That dye thingey is what OH had done back in October - he too has the macular degeration wotsit.


Dea, you are quite right, the NHS would be lost without us!


Well done Linds! I do that sort of thing too.........there is something about them having to sell goods at the price marked, even though the store may have labelled it in error, isn't there??


Off to a funeral this morning and then taking my friend out - or at least going to see her - this afternoon. A lot depends on the weather.


Have a good day.....~~

Must remind myself to get the tree out of the garage soon....... :-0

Oer I think my darling OH has vey kindly shared his rotten cold with me :-(


I feel all shivery and I still have so much to do :-|

GD's temperature was at 39.9c last night they have finally started her on antibiotics.
DIL is still sending her to nursery :-S

Yes Cynthia I am sure there is something about having to sell goods at the price shown. Must ask my brother he works in retail.

Ey Up~~~~~

Busy day, winding down now for Christmas.........finish at 1.00pm tomorrow :-D

Hi everyone
xxx


there was a glorious sunrise this morning :-)

and the weather is much colder and cloudier than yesterday


and, yes ................... the "s" word is in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning!



My watch apparently stopped at 12:15 am this morning. We have to make a stop at a watch shop for a new battery!

OH thinks he's found a suitable new printer for me ......... I'd found the one I thought I wanted, but there was some problem with buying that one.

So now, we have to go and look at the one OH has found.



Otherwise, everything's fine for Christmas!!!


No food to buy, just some gift bags for the pressies we're giving to people on the Island.

Got here at last!

Finally got time to defrost the freezer in the garage. It is about 15 years old and isn't a frost free one :-(

It didn't get done in the summer as we just never seemed to find the time. It took us about 3 hours but is all done now.

We then went to do the bulk of the Christmas food shop even managed to get some more presents.

Have got a huge pot of soup bubbling away.

Tomorrow taking GD to another panto. The antibiotics are helping her thank goodness.

On Saturday we have the GD's to let DIL get some shopping done.

Now all we have to do is finish food shop get a few pressies and get the house organised. ;-)

Busy day.......went to the funeral and ended up making coffee for the undertaker's men whilst they waited......as you do!! :-S


Got some housework done in between times and put a few decs up so that's good. Mind you, the Christmas tree is still in it's box on the dining room floor!!


The weather wasn't too bad, so took my friend out for a coffee which she greatly enjoyed.

Came home and then went to get my hair cut.

Since then have been dealing with all sorts of stuff...............phone calls - FB messaging. Sometimes I can be talking to up to 4 friends at once over there!! :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S It's all to do with my good looks, personality, brains, intelligence and sheer genius you understand......hahahahahahahahha

See you tomorrow......~~~

Cripes, you lot have been busy!

I managed to drop the remote control for the central heating and bust it.....batteries wont stay in

I see Jonesey's foo list is increasing.............

Finish at 1.00pm today. Off out for a meal with family and friends tonight. big brothers birthday

Kettle is on, bacon and sausages in the oven along with muffins and toast

Mornin All~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning all :-)

Thank you Ginns - I can smell those lovely sausages and bacon <3 <3

Jonesey has forgotten the chocolate log - I will be making mine today so I will do an extra one to add to his menu :-D

Sylvia - you should have a solar powered watch and you wouldn't need batteries ! ;-)

I didn't know they existed until I went to buy hubby a new watch for Christmas - It was amazing - There were kenetic watches which are powered by movement but I thought they were rather large and heavy so I ended up buying a solar powered one. Things have certainly changed a lot in the past few years :-S

Glad your GD is starting to get better Linds and hope you are feeling better too <3

Cynthia - GET THAT CHRISTMAS TREE UP !!! :-D :-D

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Good morning and thank you for bacon Gins....I agree with Dea....it smells delish.


Just waiting for a phone call from the doc :-( OH has developed a red patch on his leg which is rather sore. He thinks he may have phlebitis.....we will see what the doc says.

So, I must get on and get those jobs done before another trip to the surgery.


Dea......the tree is still on the floor.......sorry... :-( ;-)

Dea,

Patience, there are still 5 days (Including today) left to add more culinary delights to the list. I haven't forgotten the Chocolate Log. If you notice, other than mince pies, no traditional Christmas pastries or cakes have yet been included in the bill of fayre.:-P

Something else I managed to remember despite my great age. 20/12/1963, the day on which I first met Mrs J meaning that today is the Golden anniversary of that momentous and life changing event.

I marked the occasion about half an hour ago by presenting Mrs J with a potted Orchid plant to add to her others which live on the kitchen window sill. The spot obviously suits them as there is always at least one of the orchids in bloom throughout the entire year.

Who says I'm not an old romantic? ;-)

Mrs J

How did you learn to be so long suffering?

Congratulations and admiration.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............finished until Jan 6th

Dea

That watch is an 'Eco Drive' powered. I got one for No2 sons birthday

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Jones :-D
