Pauline
I thought I would let you know I have traced back Gt Gt Uncle James wife Martha and her family ,she worked as a servant from 1861 for an accountant at one of the universities. she was still with that family in 1871 when she got married in the June of that year.

I traced back to her birth year and found her parents and her brothers and sister Martha was the eldest child her father worked on a farm .
(The people she worked for lived in Hampstead.)
)
The laugh I had was I found she was born quiet near to where I live now .. infact I get the bus when I go to Guildford and it passes where she lived.
My son lives five minutes away from where she lived as well.
what a small world.

The big dissappointment is I am unable to find them in any of the census 1881, 1891. 1901.
As James was in the Royal Navy I wondered if he stayed in it.? but if that was the case then I would have found her but I have nothing. of course he could have gone back to Ross and Comarty in Scotland.
so I will delve a little more if not I will put it on the trying to find board and see if anyone can help. it is a long shot but people are very good on there.

Hi Mo
I thought Marilyn said she flys off Sunday so I would imagine she has gone up to London. I hope she remembers to alter her clock Lol. I cannot recall Shelly being on today.? but then I am at sixes and sevens. did you get Maddie photo's are'nt they good. I emailed Pauline and thanked her for sending them.
Sue last I heard you were going to sell your horse and get another one, ? sorry you have not got a lot of work. do you use one of your friends horse's for riding.

Rita, you've done well with Martha, I couldn't find her after her marriage either. I was wondering if they moved away because I couldn't find any of them after the marriage.

PAULINEeeeee I am still here, I just went to check that Maddie hadn't broken my e.mail.
I have to agree, she does look good for an old gal of 92. It must be all the face lifts she's had.
I had a face lift,and it dropped down to my belly,So I now have a spare tyre there instead.

Thanks Pauline for the forwared photos.
Maddie you look fine to me.
As you've just celebrated your 37th Anniversary we have something in common !! That was my anninversary this year.

Well done on the genealogy Rita(and Pauline)

I have been contacted by a reasearcher connected to my FIL's French family from India, so we've been sharing info and he keeps sending updated reports. So I've been checking off and found a few new bits to add.

Dad is undergoing observations and has been moved wards. My brother went and saw him and said he is quite OK. Mum seems alright at my sisters so we'll see what Monday morning brings

Have a good evening

Linda :o) XxX

Mo, I think Maddie's face lift worked quite well didn't it?

Where did Sue go?

I've got to go now, my bath's getting cold and I've got to make the dinner when I come out of the bath. It would probably make more sense to make dinner before I go in the bath but I never pretended to be sensible.

Catch you later.

Thanks for the update on Mum and Dad, Linda. Have they decided what is wrong with Dad yet, or are they still doing tests on him.
