Do you want me to start a thread for you, Sally?

I can do that with what you have here.

Then you'll just have to be sure to post in it right away (and also bookmark it maybe) so you can find it in your My Threads.

It would just take me a minute, so let me know. This doesn't have to be farewell!

I'm not hacked off, just very very tired and wanting you to go about it the way that will get the best results.

Oh good, lulabelle, I was afraid you'd be insulted, and you're just as confused as me. ;)

It looks like Von ???? on the original census page, but has probably been mistranscribed....maybe someone else can have a look and see.

I have had a look on the 1891 but can't see the family on there...again maybe someone who has an ancestry sub can do it on there...

And I agree with Evie, start a new posting regarding this as it's starting to get a bit confusing with all the different info on here.

Sally Sally Sally!

You need to start a whole new thread about Camilla -- even though this one was supposed to be about her. I think.

And when you do you need to organize it a bit -- see the nice white spaces in my posts? You get them by hitting the Enter key twice when you get to the end of a thought. It is So much easier to read that way.

I'm brainfried at the end of a long week. Lulabelle may be on to something there, but it's going to all go over my head right now.

I really suggest leaving it for a new thread, because everybody else is much more likely to read a new one than one 3 pages long.

When you start it, come here and click on lulabelle's and my names, and send us messages to tell us - especially lulabelle. And copy her information into your new thread, so that nobody does it over again.

I will keep everything crossed -- and the worst case scenario is that you have your uncle to come to the wedding now!


Meanwhile, come and have a read of our project for the week!

The Bethnal Green Tube Disaster memorial.

Well I'm never going to get any sleep at this rate, all this good news. ;)

If you had *said* that you knew where Uncle David lived, this thread would be two pages shorter!

And I'm going to sleep now. Don't try and stop me. Here I go .......

Really! I didn't know they would give info like "we have a listing in that name at that address but you can't have it"!

I just answered your PM before seeing that. That is most excellent news, most excellent. Fingers and toes crossed.
