yes Pauline you can go on to Findmypast from when the football started till tomorrow morning.
I am having an email converstion with one of the people on the Willesden Family History Society site. he is full of knowlege of Willesden. he knows nearly everything about the old buildings and grounds. he said I was right the mound in the cemetery has been put on top of the very old graves so they can use that for more buriels. The Names of the people in the very old graves are registered in a book in the cemetery so that I am pleased about. it is hard to find a grave that no longer excists and it takes hours to search them all out.
There are five war graves now dotted about with the war graves markings and it gives the regiment along with the name of the person. these have been put up recently. i have tired to take some of their names with my camera but I forgot to alter the zoom so I am not sure they will show up.

Shelley if someone asked you about the" Old Willsden cemetery" you can tell them it is now the" New Willesden cemetery "and they have a website. just incase someone asks you as you have your Graves sThread.

time for a long cool drink now.
see you later

Morning Rita
Back from my walk, slower this morning, must be hotter.

Have just watered the pots at the front porch as it is shaded there in the morning.

I was lucky to find 12 census yesterday connected to my family. Just as well as we will not have that offer again, since we are out of the World Cup. Shame.

Yes I must put some washing on as it so good and dries quickly.

Have a good day all who wander through and read this. Take care.

Linda :o) XxX

Goodness I pressed a button and thought I'd lost this so glad I didn't

Morning all,

Feel better now than last night !!

Its really hot, but I love it, so Shelly did get back without complaining about being sun burnt .
Shelly I don't think my Dad is related by blood as don't forget his so called father (JOHNSON ) was not his biological father. But I bet he wishes he was now that note came through the door !! LOL

Going to see him on Wednesday to see if anything has happend.

Got loads of research to do today with all those freebies on FMP.
But I cant work up the enthusiasm ......might be a bit too early in the morning .

I bet you have a hell of a head this morning after drinking all that wine.
better take it easy and get over it Lol.

I did not get anything out of FMP as I had all the 1911 census got them from the Kew Achives when I went there and got nothing. poor me. weep weep.
I am doing the sheets now nearly finished then I want to go and buy some stamps thought I might take a gently walk around the lake before it gets too hot.
Linda I watered some of my plants this morning those in the front as the sun is late com ing in the front but them I can do the back bit but mine is just a strip of a garden about a pavement and half .

Morning Sue
where have you been ? staying away so long naught girl.
Morning Shelly. giving Marilyn a sore finger last night she had a sore head.
I have just been on the phone to the surrey council asking them if they knew we had one of their bus stops at the back of our flats ? I explained the police have been informed, but thought they should know as well incase they wanted to collected it. ?
we have been having a big laugh she said do you mean the shelter. ? God no the whole pole with the bus sign written and the number of the buses including further down the time table.. How did they manged to get it from Byfleet to Goldsworth park ? l said that we need Agatha Christie for. they must have brought it in a van or lorry as there was a party in the next turning. then she said she did not know if it was Surrey was responsible for collecting it . ?t she is sending them an email. so I will wait and see if they collect or not ?
maybe I will keep it and stick a union jack on it. if I can get three strong men to lift it.

I get all the excitment. it was bad enough in London with Polish women on the buses, I think I will write a story about that my experience on riding on a bus from Town to Hampstead.
