That's ok Allan, Linda did some valuable research for me some time ago, and I was similarly excited. It really is encouraging to get some help when you've been struggling along on your own. |

Well this is a right turn-up for the books. I've just found the wife of an ancestor living where she should be in 1901 with her family. No husband in sight although she states she is married. She has a 4 month old child whose middle name is the surname of the lodger!! and he is down as married also. Meanwhile hubby (my 2 x great uncle) is labouring on a farm in Rotherham. Now why would she name her youngest after the lodger. He must be a good friend...wink wink;-) |

I have a spare white cardigan Tec, we could put it on her backwards and tie the sleeves together until she feels better |

And I've got a spare room at the top of the house, plus a lot of foam carpet underlay that could be used to line the walls - would serve very nicely as a padded cell. |

Ah, the mad lady in the attic |

There's a lovely soothing view from that room, and I could install a 40 inch plasma tv on the wall, out of reach, in order to keep her entertained with re-runs of all the World Cup matches, over and over and over again. |

I hope that sound will be on,so she can hear all those nice musical instruments which they are so fond of playing |

She could pretend to be the Queen Bee |

We will have to consider her diet carefully. Is there a handy McDonalds? |

Tecwyn | Report | 20 Jun 2010 19:26 |

Sadly the nearest McDonalds is 50 miles away - but we do have a Turkish Kebab shop only 10 miles away. |

I am sure that they will be on her diet sheet, so that will do fine. |

Looks around innocently... Who has been picking on you CC? |

You tell me who's picking on you CC - I'll sort them out. |
