No sweetpea,we want you as head chef for Genes R US Ltd.

Gins is MD of the company being set up to offer affordable expert research.

I think the pay will most likely be" Thank you"so not very lucrative.

I do know a pro who posts here (not in this thread) and I occasionally tout for that person by telling other members who need her specialized expertise I'll give them contact details if they ask me by PM. I know that the person never, ever touts, and never asks for help with anything here, just hangs around to offer help from that expertise.


Jonesey, just a note for now -- my understanding, from being told it here at GR, is that a bigamous marriage remains in the GRO index and thus in the dabases we can search. However, *if* there was a prosecution, it is noted by the GRO and it will not issue a certificate. (Since that would be an attestation to a marriage that never actually happened.) I've wondered whether they would provide the details on the certificate, like fathers' names, without giving the certificate.


For whatever corporation this is that's being formed, I assume, since I am not otherwise mentioned, that the simple title The Boss has been reserved for moi.

Now Jonesey,would you confess on the boards in the glare of the public that was what you did and then never be able to ask for help again?

Hasnt got the common sense he was born with..!

And a marked man to boot now as well.

I did think that was the thread in question though.

Gins.
Look on the bright side,you can have a househusband for a while and come home to a cooked dinner every night and all the housework / laundry /ironing done until he gets a new job in Febuary 2011.

Oh Gins

What a bummer - poor JB - bet he is upset - redundancy is horrible - even the word is
a "Nasty" sounding word

Has he been there long enough to get redundancy pay - or are they making him work thru " his notice period" instead of a payment


What a pain in the a&&e

So sorry for him and you

(((((((((((hugs))!))))))

Flippin' eck Gins......no one needs that news just now. Sending a little (hug)....






Sylvs, if you don't want to cook, how about our Janey ....she likes spending time in the kitchen, but would she want to work with the likes of this motley crew?

Hands up for those willing to put this proposition to her!


I'm an excellent washer upper.....lots of clean hot soapy water and I'm in my element. Clean, freshly ironed tea towels.......ooooh bliss.

The confessor is on this thread:

Back to the John Brace situation.

FBG, "Did he marry?" I never heard of him being married but of course he died before I was born so it is something that I have never thought about so I will have to investigate. As far as I can be I am 100% sure that he was auntie Flo's natural son. I have a 2nd cousin who like me is curious about him and I know that she, like me believes that to be the case. Unfortunately all that generation are dead now and his half sister is also dead so nobody to ask.

My instinct tells me that the bigamist story may well have been invented to cover illegitimacy but that would not explain why he had the surname Brace or why no birth record can be found.

Dea, Auntie Flo was a very nice lady so If the dead do monitor GR I am sure that she will forgive you for casting doubt upon her virtue. I will look further into the marriages that you have indentified.

Jonesey,

There is this marriage for Brace/Evans but NOT Florence Hilda!!

Marriages Sep 1915
Brace William Evans Walsall 6b 1553
Evans Mary J Brace Walsall 6b 1553

I 'quite fancy' this birth though for John??
Births Mar 1919
Evans John C Evans Dudley 6b 1299
...........................

If Mr Brace was a bigamist, there is this marriage which fits with Army records on Ancestry
It might just be the first marriage??

Marriages Dec 1912
BRACE Thomas W Russell Burton 6b 731 ****
GRIMSDELL Harry Parkes Burton 6b 731
Parkes Ada Grimsdell Burton 6b 731
Russell Grace E Brace Burton 6b 731 ****

Nothing 'quite 'adds up but thought I would post it just in case it connects with you ??

I really suspect though that 'your' Florence was unmarried and the story made up to cover the fact??

(Forgive me 'Aunty Flo' if I am wrong !!)

Jonesey.

John Brace.
Did he marry?
Are you certain sure 100% that he is Aunt Flos son?
He has no family saying he is theirs on CWG site thats all.
I know that you are an excellent researcher and am not trying to say that you dont have the facts,I just wondered?
PS
I have been looking on and off all afternoon but had nothing to report back to HQ.

Who, when, where, confessed their sins?
