Hi all

Nice day here not raining, orf to see GP later that will be fun.

Why are certain people so rude to posters on here and not helpful? No wonder people complain about posting on the boards

Jonesey! Well, you got off lightly there. I was expecting you to receive a really good slap from our FBG. Ouch!



Hope you get on okay at the doc's ja..x. Rude? Where?



Which Island are your family going to Fans.....North or South? One of my friends has a daughter, sone in law and baby granddaughter on the North Island and they absolutely love it. They keep in touch by Skype all the time.



Still waiting for my internet connection to happen........hey ho.

Just want to say sorry to all the researchers trying to help people like me, just read about 'don't ask about the same name or family' I think I am guilty of that, borne of sheer frustration, not being able to get anywhere further on my Antorn family. So sorry I forgot.

do not worry Susan as we all have to learn but if you have read this then the message is getting across. In the meantime we have fun on here to keep the message visible. Stay for the fun if you like and enjoy your hobby.

If I post infomation like a census and someone else posts the same thing before me I delete straight away.

Just noticed 3 people posting the 1911 ten minutes apart surely they can see its already there?

You would have thought so ja...x......maybe they need to go to LK's shop for new specs!!



Since I posted my complaint re my ISP on their site ont'other side, I have received personal attention from one of their employees. Today, he was able to help me access my emails which I haven't been able to do since 28.1 When I finally cracked it, there were 388 waiting for me! Have been ploughing through them to see what I missed.

Hopefully (!) I should be reconnected tomorrow when my son sorts out my router for me. What will I do when all is well again......?????

Right .............. off out

That photo of when you were 15 Gins.... was it taken with a box Brownie??




Gee

Gee Report 22 Feb 2011 18:57

Whats a box Brownie?????

Dea

Dea Report 22 Feb 2011 19:21

You know exactly what a box brownie is Ginns !!! - You are not THAT young that you wouldn't remember, surely??

It was an old camera which folded together like a concertina into a box thingy. You had to hold it at waist level, put your hand around the top to shade it and look down into it - you would then see an upside down picture which you were expected to 'snap' and get a decent result from !!!

'Out of the ark' eh ??? - They were very good though !

Im sure those old photo booths were about 10p back when I was a teenager or was it 25p....then that sounds too much as that was a fair bit more than 20 cigs

Can someone please help me please

I am trying to verify some stuff a nutty ( and I mean in the insane sense --- not the walnut kind ) man has sent me ---- I have been able to add some dates

First wife Ann Dotchon ( no DOB ) married 23 Jul 1833 Marrige Thornton by Pocklington to Benjamin Fearn (1816 Askham Richard ) wife dies
Fearn Ann Leeds 23 271 - actual date 8th May
They had 3 children
John Fearn - 04 Jan 1835 : SAINT PETER,LEEDS,YORK,:
Elizabeth Fearne: 29 May 1836 St. Peter, Leeds, York
and Mary Ann, no details of birth ---see Edit

Note -- Date of Attestation 5 April 1842 Liverpool -----so where is Ben and children in 1841 census taken the night of 6 June 1841.

Benjamin Fearn remarries Mary Ann Scoley 5th Sept 1841 St Peters Parish Church Leeds

So in theory I should find Benjamin + 3 kids and the bride to be

Have been looking for what seems a lifetime --- can anyone help me please

Renes

EDIT --- Mary Ann Fearn 1838 Leeds
Dec Qtr 1838 FEARN Mary Ann Leeds 23330
