Can you pm the tree name please and I will look on Mundia ----------think this was the woman I helped --- then found her tree was public --- and she started on about " I am a lonely old pensioner "

I know that Joseph was having kids with her --- before they married --- Jax found them on my thread --- but this woman keeps adding bits -- to proper stuff I have sent her --- so have stopped

Can appreciate that they were listing all the kids ( that were Josephs ¿ ) with his surname -- although they are registered as Doyle -- and then marry as Doyle ---- buts what the connection with Hambledon to Surrey

the Ashton ones I know are Mow Cop ( from memory ) .... but am really stuck -- and Mow Cop PR are not transcribed that I can see

There are quite a lot of trees on Ancestry ---some name collectors -- others genuine --- but many have the wrong Sarah Harrison parents ---- if they continued through with all Denton PR -- they would see that their Sarah dies at age 6 ----

Not that a death every stopped a marriage 14 years later it would seem

So fed up with it all -- was thinking of deleting all and against Joseph write wife and children unknown !!!!!


Thanks for help Gins

Happy St Patrick's day to me!

I have a grx4 grandfather born 1768 in "Ireland" per the 1851 English census.

Anybody want to find him for me?? Name of Hugh Morrison ...

There's a baptism of son James 1807 at pilot.fs, and son Charles 1802 in the IGI, but there it ends. Permanently, I suspect. ;)

Am I the only one with no "Paddy" blood in me on this thread?

Up until I started doing this family tree thing last year, it was thought by my cousin at least that my mums mother came from Ireland......No she was just a fibber...and always told people she was born Dundee in Ireland, so the inteligent family members soon sussed that one out.

Naughty LK! Fans has been very quiet since yesterday....she may not have noticed that you nicked her numbers.


ja...x the search box I meant is the one that used to be under the GR logo and between the dark green box at the top. I'm sure it was there earlier this week..........wonder if GR have been tinkering again and that's why people are complaining at the slowness?



Back from the hairdressers and I see no-one has noticed the difference!! humph.

jax, the search box was for searching trees.

I never used it myself; put John Smith in there (no date, no place) and what were you likely to get?! I've always just kept a tab open with the actual Search Trees page.

Have just heard that my poorly friend's husband has had a stroke. He was found in his chair this afternoon. Don't know how serious it is but when I spoke to him yesterday, I guessed something was wrong as he was not making sense.

I phoned his daughter in law to let her know that I was concerned with the way he was talking but somehow, I'm not sure that they are understanding the severity of things. A different generation I suppose . Both my friend and her husband are now in the same hospital :((

Oh my, Cynthia, he was alone? Are they right up there in years, then? It's so important to catch a stroke in the first short time after it happens ...

You know how to check somebody for a stroke? (after calling 911 or 999 or your local equivalent)

•Smile – a crooked smile is symptomatic
•Talk (say a simple sentence) – disturbed speech is symptomatic
•Raise the arms – asymmetry or inability on one side, or loss of balance, is symptomatic

Self-diagnosis or diagnosis-by-friend isn't the best option of course and any sign of a stroke (sudden numbness, sudden severe headache, sudden vision problems, sudden weakness or loss of balance, sudden problems talking or confused speech ...) should get that call made.

This is our campaign on strokes here JC


What is FAST?
FAST requires an assessment of three specific symptoms of stroke.

Facial weakness - can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?

Arm weakness - can the person raise both arms?

Speech problems - can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?

Time to call 999


Cyns...this is really bad news and bad luck. I think when its your parents you seem to think they will be around forever and maybe there is some denial?
