Find Ancestors

Mine is fags too used to be drinking aswell until I fell over, but now I fall over without a drink...still drink but know my limits now

Got addicted when I went to Palm Springs with the casinos then Vegas.
I was'nt a silly gambler but the money could have been put to a better use, never played the tables only the poker or roulette machines.
As I live near Southend there is a nice casino on the seafront popped in there one day when I was out of work and won £150 thought this is good, I will make a living from it....no it did'nt happen lol

Thanks for sympathy Gins.
Gotta go back to work now.
Latera.

I worked for betting shops on and off for 20 yrs.

Hope her"face fits"ok as it is very much like that in them ,I have worked for many of them over the years,but one in particular that rhymes with kill, and they are all pretty much the same,you have to be "one of the in crowd".
When I started climbing the ladder and became more outspoken I was "got rid of"through being reported for a misdemeanor that anyone else would have got a verbal warning for.
I was not the only one to be got rid of that way as well,a really good mate who was there for 30 yrs was "got rid of" in a similar way when he started to voice an opinion on certain things.

Its not what you know,its who you know as usual...


And Gin?

I did look after my teeth but ad impacted wisdom teeth casing infections.
Also lost some when I I broke them on an olive stone.


Got to go and pack tonight as I leave for Exmouth in the morning. Might not around much this week.

Yep we all have addictions

Mine is fags
Fannys is adulation
Cyns is cleaning
My kids are addicted to 'knowing' everything

Etc....

Glad to see that you have stopped gambling - what did you gamble on ¿

I always fancied playing poker on line - but nervous I might get hooked !!!

Think I go with FMP - as loads of people have Ancestry and as I dont know the sight time I found any entry - the thread would all be over . perhaps I should offer look ups for people who do not stay on line - time they get back a week later I may have found what they wanted


Fags is sufficient addition for me

I have just made an email enquiry to my local council asking them where they purchase the bulbs for the street lights in Sheffield



The reason being I inform them.....the light at the bottom of my drive has been on permanently, night and day for 12 years! I have reported this problem 6 times the first being in the last century



I know this is not a priority as there are more important things like watering hanging baskets but if you could get around to turning the bl##dy thing off before the end of this century I would be most grateful

I did have a bit of an addiction to on-line poker, although I am sure it is fixed.
I must say I am tempted to join challenge jackpot when I see the roulette wheel, but I know I will lose it all.
Oldest daughter who is 19 started training to work for a well known betting office this week, just hope she does'nt get the bug.

Stopped gambling Ja...x??

Oh dear, now I see why you fit sooo well amongst us!

Sorry I did'nt notice the Brooks one till too late Gins

I like Ancestry for the London marriages and Baptisms found loads of ancestors on that.
Not much point in me having the overseas stuff as only had one rellie that lived in Australia and that was my dads sister...no convicts in my family.
Only have 1911 on FMP but may upgrade it as I have saved a fortune now I have stopped gambling and taken up this hobby

ja...x

You have a memory like an elephant Fanny.


Jonesey, I have been asked some questions in the past but how very rude of you to ask how big mine is

It's all manageable thank you very much...

.......my Flanagan's are ship shape, my Fearn's are neat and tidy and my Whiteley's are very perky


I hope that satisfies your curiosity

See Gins....Renes thinks I am a sweetie !

Not a sweatie..!

Actually thats not a bad idea - think I will renew FMP and take a monthly sub on Ancestry - if I cannot get the 2 free weeks trial


Thanks sweetie


Renes

Hobsons/Sophies choice hmmmm??

I like FMP cos it lists all the occupations so if you dont want to look at every image and write /type them out you dont have to.
Passenger lists/Chelsea pensioners Overseas births etc
etc.


Incoming passengers,London marriages and baptisms(mothers side all Londoners)and Canada US, census I like Ancestry for ,and they often have census missing on FMP.


Nope,cant choose as I dont have to.

You can take out monthly subs at Ancestry as well,when you want them I believe,you could try that Renes...

Jonesey

In the immortal words of this thread - a numpty

less of course he is following the baptist ministers words of

We are all related to Noah !

If you had to choose one - which would you choose - I have always use FMP so I find that easier - but I suppose when I used to Ancestry it would be the same in time - my only concern with Ancestry is you put in Fred Bloggs 1901 and then get responses Fred Smith 1892 and Johnathon Bloggs 1914 followed by Emily Brands 1809

FMP just says no records - refine your search

Is this common or just my lack of knowledge of their search procedures


Ginny - not sure as I am registered guest - it will permit me a free trial

Thanks for responding both


Renes

fantasist

Most people who boast about "big"things are in my opinion..

I only have 120 on my tree that is online.

Never counted the ones in my paper tree,but def under 1000.

HOW BIG IS YOURS?

Via Ancestry's Recent Member Connect Activity feature I have just been notified that another member has downloaded some census information about someone (Not a Jones I might add) who appears in my family tree on Ancestry. When this happens, out of curiosity, I usually take a peek at the other persons tree and profile just to see what else it might contain that might be of interest.

I discovered that the family tree to which my ancestors census record has now been attached contains no fewer than 190,720 individuals and that 45,457 records were attached to the tree.

Now either the tree owner is a member of a remarkably large family or is a fantasist rather than a genealogist. What is your guess?

I like both,each has something to offer,so I have both.

I dont buy expensive CARS, clothes etc ,or go out much, so I have both and prob cost less than what a lot of people spend on clothes in 3 months.

Its part of my birthday/christmas present from HID,he gets me nowt and I spend the money saved towards subs..
