Morning, Early Birds, Help yourselves to tea, coffee or "chocolat", Good weekend for me. Wales won the rugger and we won the pub quiz last night. Gwynne

Morning Gwynne Glad to see you're back on form with the quiz. I'll join you for a coffee. Gwyn

Hi Gwyn, Thanks. It was nip and tuck but we triumphed in the end. Gwynne

Are you researching at LDS again tomorrow? I remember that Tuesday was often your day for that. Gwyn

Morning both! - can I help myself to cup of tea?

Hi Gwyn, I shall be there. I have 2 films on order - 1851 Monmouth Town and 1841 the area around Berry Hill in the Forest of Dean. I'm hoping they will be there. If not, there is another film I can look at that is on permanent loan there - parts of Salop census of 1841. Gwynne

Hi Mags, Help yourself. How was your weekend? Gwynne

Morning all. I'll have tea please. I am waiting to get in the shower but unfortunately daughter got in the bathroom before me!! Jacky

Oooo Gwynne! - I have ancestors in Prees Shropshire! (helps self to tea) Weekend not bad - apart from developing a cold! You?

Hi Jackie, Settle down. It could be a long wait, then Gwynne

Morning Mags It's help yourself here, - but there's a warm welcome. Gwynne I have family from Forest of Dean too. Trouble is that they lived on a hill in Gloucestershire but their nearest church was just down the hill, .... in Herefordshire. I'm forever county-hopping trying to track them!.

Morning Jacky Bathroom queues are happening here too!. Gwyn

Gwynne

Hi Gwyn, I know what you mean about the F o D. I have one buried in Christchurch, Glocs who was living in Monmouth Town. Mine hopped over the border all the time. Are the above districts any good for you? Gwynne

(laying on floor kicking and screaming with frustration) Thanks Gwynne - but no unfortunately. Prees or Shawbury

Sorry, Mags. *picks her up and dusts her down* The local LDS has a weird and wonderful collection of stuff on permanent loan. When they first opened they used to keep every film they ordered in until space ran out. Most of them are no use for me, sadly. Gwynne

Oh Mags.... That's a shame, wrong places eh. Cheer yourself with another cuppa. Gwyn

Well Gwynne I don't know those areas either,.... but thanks for the early morning geography lesson. Gwyn

That sounds a good idea Gwyn! I have given up on my dad's side - Jacksons in Birmingham? HAHAHA Husbands paternal line back to 1635 - so that'll do! My maternal line - the one in Shropshire - not too bad but patchy. Husband's maternal line - Smiths and Prices (in Chester) - another bout of hysterical laughter!!

Don't give up on them Mags. I had JONES' who moved from Herefordshire to the South Wales valleys, -(as if there weren't enough there already!) ...and I found them,right up to living descendants so now I believe anything is possible after that. Gwyn
