General Chat

Hi everyone,
It's the week-end! Unfortunately it's shorter by an hour!
No Marilyn I haven't been a librarian. I've worked for the same place 36 years.
It's only since 2006 that I've been an avid reader. I used to knot but I gave that up because I was getting pains in my fingers.
Glad you're feeling a bit better Yvonne.
Rita I hope the audio books work for you.

Thanks Pat. my tinitus is really bad. it never stops you can hear it in the back ground when you read or do a crossword.
I hope that by using the audio it will help me.

I have been feeling giddy tonight must be the antibiotics? or I have been rushing about too much today

It has been a lovely day weatherwise but it is suppose to change at the weekend


Rita

Hi All
Well the fence didn't get painted !!! The paint was not new and had seperated. It said should be kept above 5C so it was probably the cold weather through the winter or it is just too old.

We are out to friends when hubby gets home tomorrow so guess I won't get anything bought until Monday at least. Unless my daughter can take me tomorrow.

I did get all the ironing done though even the washing done today.

Reading a new book and did some of that too

Enjoy the weekend. As Pat said it will be short of an hour Ugh need extra time not less.

Might do some knitting tonight

Linda :o) XxX

Evening all !

Evening everyone,
just a quick visit tonight as our 2 year old grandson is staying and i need to get him to bed shortly.
Marilyn I would be grateful for any help with this marriage its driving me nuts. Alexander Johnston married Ethel Bennett some time after 1920 when he left the army. He was the son of Hugh Johnston and Isabella McCaughey and he was born 1896 in Belfast. I had always been told he married in Belfast but it has recently come to light that he spent some time in New York (via Quebec) arriving 1929 and I am now wondering if he actually married in USA. I have a thread on TTF.
Got to go now but will try and pop back later, Fin permitting, lol.
~~~~~~~~ to all

Oh my god Shelly,

Are you on antibiotics ?

If not get down to the dentist NOW.......or up the hospital to see an Emergency Dentist.Now !!!!!!

You can move here any time Shelly and the others that would be great ...LOL


Cath I'll have ago ......

Hi to our Stevey boy.....

Good news.

I have managed to buy a property on the South Coast.....where it's always nice and warm....even in Winter.

The neighbours were on Holiday when I went to view the house so they will get a surprise when I move in.

What will they say when I practice the Bagpipes early in the morning. He He He

marilyn it is to late to go out now
and iv been takeing pain killer

Shelly have you got an Emergency Dental Line in your area. You can't go all over the weekend with an abscess it's much to painful.

Hello Marilyn, good to have you back. Are the electrics working properly in the empty house by you, as we don't want Shelly trying to electrocute herself again.

Hi there Maddie, hope you have a restful weekend ahead, and no work to have to go to.

Cath, enjoy having the little one for the night. It's lovely to look at them when they are fast asleep, they are so angelic.

What a shame about the fence paint Linda. But as you said, it has been so cold out in our sheds,it's not surprising that it has seperated.
One of the bonuses of being over 60, is that we get a pensioners discount
on Wednesdays, and saved ourselves a lot of money on our paint, when we decorated recently. You will have that ahem, luxury when you reach that age.

I see Stephen popped in earlier, wheres he got to now I wonder.

pmsl MO im a suffera ill what till it gos down by it self

denist ill run under the chiar

my youngest is at it again
he wants to nick his 16yr old brother student card and try and get in the cinama to see a film age 15. bless him he dont even look the 13yrs he is althogh he will be 14 in june

and what kicks it his friend who is even smaller than him about 3tf if that

now what charnce have the pear of them got
i would say NOT A LOT

so were has every one gone

im here on my own like a sado

I'm here ...LOL

Been up Caths tree ....but come down as I haven't got access to Belfast marriage records !!

Cath..... Alexander seemed to have married before he went to Quebec in 1929 as he puts his wife's name Ethel Johnston as nearest relation in Darnbe ? Street Belfast.

Looks like he married in Belfast ????

His Sister name that he was staying with in Arlington Ave Toronto Canada was Agnes Martin.

Alexander Johnston was a ( Marine Engineer).

So if you can find anyone that's got access to Belfast Marriages you might be lucky

He was in Canada from May -Aug 1924.....so another possibility of a Canadian marriage in that short time ????.

I'll keep trying ....I know Shelly might be clever and come up with something .

Shelly hows that tooth ????

Maddie... Hi my lovely ....

Stevey Boy.....you got a fat Bank account because the for sale Barn is massive .!!..

Morning all
Can't be the first here can I?
No sun yet this morning
Off for a walk soon to get paper for hubby who left for work at 5:00 this morning.

Might just read today and do some knitting.

Out to friends for dinner tonight, a birthday celebration at his daughters new house.

Have a good day

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone,
misty and mild start to the day here.
Marilyn thank you for your help. I did wonder if he might be visiting his sister so that ties in nicely. I have looked on Emerald Ancestors but marriage is not there but I was told Ethel may have lived in Danube Street, and that info you found would suggest she did. At least I can narrow down marriage taking place between 1920 and 1929. (((hug))) for your help.
Shelly please go and get that abcess sorted out, they can cause all sorts of problems. Be a brave girl and call the dentist.
Mo I love having the little ones for a sleepover and as you say they are angelic when asleep. Fin is a bit of a handful and my daughter wont believe it when I tell her he slept from 8pm until 6.30am, lol. Hes just demolished a big bowl of cereal and two crumpets for breakfast.

Hope you all enjoy a nice day, back later,

Cath xx

morning all.
It is a grey old day here hope you have a bit of sun where you are. ?

I was looking at my 2011 census glad to be getting rid of it on Monday when I can go and post it. I copied the pages I had to fill and so I now have a copy of it..

yesterday I was looking for the surnames list where you get your names and can see if anyone is looking for anyone on your list.for a match.?
but when you go to surnames now you get a list of you tree names and bith dates. I dont like that very much as surely people can see that. or is it only myself that see the names.?
GR keep altering these things. when you use to log on your got your family tree listed and now you get messages and that is a problem trying to get onto general topics.

Rita

Morning Early Risers !

Overcast here but still dry......sunshine later hopefully.

Marilyn, We have decided not to move South, but instead buy the Barn, and if it's as big as you say it is, we will dismantle it, bring it North and use it as a SMALL extension to our present house.

Bet you're glad you wont be hearing Bagpipes early in the morning.

It's ages since I had my wee lassies stay over with us. I love having them here. I spoil them rotten, and we do daft things. I read them Scottish stories from the Western Isles, they think they are great.

Today I am helping a friend tile out her en-suite bathroom. She knows I do a good finishing job.........I get 'Fluffy Paws' to scrub their backs. Well gotta make sure the everything works fine. ROFL

Have a good day ya all.

Catch you later.

Morning all, it's very dull and damp here. Haven't been outside yet but it doesn't look warm. Glad I got the bedding washed yesterday, couldn't have dried it outside today.

Stephen, you could put that barn in your back garden and use it as a holiday home for all of us. Now wouldn't that be nice - having all of us staying in your back garden? Mind you, Mo gets a bit rowdy, and you'd need a good supply of gin for Marilyn.

Shelly, you really need to see somebody about that abscess. I know you're good at DIY but leave the medical stuff to the professionals.

Did the boys get in to see the film?

Morning All.....Oh I haven't said that in a while ..LOL

Its warm and I think the sun is trying to peek through.

Got to go and do some more food shopping.

Shelly that abscess will not go on its own , you wont feel nothing at the dentist they don't hurt you any more everything gets done without suffering pain .....so off you go and get pain less treatment.... you managed 6 babbies gosh this will be a doddle !!

Back later ......after I get home .
