But Strump, your life history is part of genealogy! I'd like to write an account of my great-great-grandmother's elder brother, William Mealing, who was beaten by a farmer when he was 8, cut his fiancee's throat in 1862, and was found innocent of murder on the grounds of insanity, having been ably defended by a man whose fee was paid by William's friends and neighbours. He spent the rest of his life - over 40 years - in Broadmoor. nell

No Nell, my life history is not my family............mine would be health, cancer, help how to get through it. It would be happy but realistic.

Reggae Jamaica & Me, which would include Reggae Jamaica & the History of Jamaica & Irish & Scots influence on the island of Jamaica and Montserrat too & why are people so prejudice & god fearing......LOL Not so interesting for others but for some we would be enthralled lol.

This has got to be my last reply, I really have to pack, the times I have said 'I could write a book' the first would be about my step-son!!!, the second about my life as a charity shop manager and the people who worked there, third would be my life story, just to get everything off my chest Look out for me I will be back Janetx

My oldest mate is always telling me I ought to write my autobiography but he thinks my life has been more interesting than it is cos mine has been more dramatic and unpredictable than his. I'm not sure it would be publishable never mind interesting lol. There are so many things I would like to write about and often do:)

Pat No, my Mealing lot were from Rendcomb in Gloucestershire, a small village which at the time of the crime had about 257 inhabitants. This is my mum's dad's side of the family. The Islington lot were Matthews - my dad's mum's side. nell
