If you need anything killing off, just leave it to me - had to throw out 3 of the tomato plants because of the mildew, and cut off loads of foliage from the others in the hope of saving them. Don't know why I bothered as there are very few fruits. :-(

Same here DET I don't even try anymore to take care of anything. Even my goldfish when I was little died, and my tadpole and iggy my plant etc. :-(

Tell you what RMS - we'll start our own Black Finger society ;-)

OHHH That is a swell idea! :-D

I'll join.

I buy a plant and take it home and OH says. Oh no does that plant realise it will be dead very soon, and other such terrible remarks about plants committing suicide because I have bought them.

He is right. Of the last two plants I bought, one has almost turned up its roots and he has put it outside for recuperation. The other one is hanging on by a leaf. Well it is a very difficult plant to kill but I'm doing my best.

So that's three of us! See if you can find an Avatar as our temporary emblem ;-)

hi folks been busy I have gotthe paint out just waiting for it to dry to see where I need to touch it up was at work this morning so was late starting

Hello all, My word Maz you are a busy bee. I have the paint and brushes here so if you get bored can you come and do mine please :-D

Evening everyone.

It has turned out to be a really nice day today, but I have missed most of it, stuck in the office!! We all had to move our desks around this morning and change places!! Oh joy!! Two and a half hours of mayhem and trying to reconnect the computers and phones! Anybody would think we haven't any work to do lol!!

is it that time already lol I have some admin to do now lol ,my aim is to do a wall in the morning before my shift in the afternoon then its just the wood work then .

its mine out with the red and white back with the chocolate fountain and faux fur .

No it's not .In with the red and white to match the shirt I am wearing right now cos I am watching the match. Come on you Gunners

Oh well it's so quite in here I will have to curl up on my throne and get some ZZZZZZZZZZ's :-D

Watch out LG - splatter paint on its way. We can all have our favourite colours so everyone is happy :-D

Well done Maz with your progress - we're still thinking about it! Sounds as if YG needs a holiday to get over the holiday, bit at least by waiting until you were back to shift everything around, you know where things are.

We went and saw Harry Potter at the Pictures late this afternoon and had good seats with our cheap Tuesday discount cards :-D :-D

For the Black Finger club - the tomatoes have had it :-0 :-(

We decided to go out today, but OH is still a slumber, I'm still on the 1st coffee, and we don't know where to go anyway. :-0

Hello playmates.

Ive four generations of anscestors on both my Mother's and Father's side of my tree.
Apart from my parents and my grandfather I don't know any of their death dates.

How can I put their dates in to search when I don't know when they died?

Hello David, welcome to the Nut House :-D

I don't think any of us have a record search sub for this site, we tend to use other ones or freebmd for England and Wales

Try searching

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

for deaths which cover 1837-c1950 which ought to cover your time frame
You hopefully know their full names and when you lost sight of them. Remember that the wife would be registered under her married name. You can probably narrow down results by selecting a county, unless they were part of Aunty's Circus clan ;-)

Deaths in Scotland will be on Scotlandspeople. Can't help with Ireland as none of my mob ventured there.

You'd have to order the DC using the references numbers you find, to get the exact dod. For England and Wales ones, do this from https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro. For Scotlandspeople site you pay and download from the site. You might get lucky and find free transcribed burial records, which would give a closer approximation of the DOD. The dates given on those are usually the burial dates

You could start a thread on 'Find Ancestors'. Give as much info as you can for the missing rellies - full name, date or year of birth, where last seen (inc county) and possibly the last census you have on them. Include the year if they fathered/bore a known child after going missing from census.
In the case of a male, say if a marriage cert of a child has 'deceased' against the fathers name - that would help narrow the time frame.

If they are likely to have died pre Sep 1837, you are back to Parish Records - try familysearch, freereg or just google parish records and the likely area or county.

Good luck, and drop by any time ;-)

Morning all,Hope everyone is ok. Just a flying visit as I am off to get a cup of coffee at Yidarmylass'. I will look in later to keep an eye on you all :-D. Tatty bye for now <3
