bearcub/trevor


you are getting flack because you have seemingly asked this question before.


That's fine ...........................


But the usual thing to do is EITHER continue with that earlier thread (or threads) when wanting information on the same people.

OR alternatively, to post on any new thread, everything that you know has been found on those previous threads.


Otherwise, you have people like me wasting our time finding that information all over again ...... and again, and again!


We love to help people, and it makes no difference to us whether you are a Gold member or a Standard member (like me) ..................... we help everyone.


Even to saying that we wouldn't waste our money on being a Gold member!! lol!

Some people go to the extent of searching out earlier threads to see what has been found .................... or they might remember having worked on the family and/or name before.

Unless I remember the name for some reason, i can't be bothered to go searching for past threads ........ but if I had known what information you already had, then I could have spent that couple of hours either searching on other sites for you OR in helping someone else.

BTW...... it is in GR's Terms and Conditions that there should not be more than 1 thread posted on the same subject.


In case you don't know, all previous threads you have started or on which you have posted can be found by looking in the box headed Tools to the left of the screen, and then clicking on My Threads.


While we're at it ..................... internet etiquette says that you shouldn't use all capitals. Many people (including myself) find it hard to read ...... but it is also considered to be shouting in the internet community. :)))

EXCUSE ME, AM I MISSING SOME THING HERE? WHY AM I GETTING AGRO? ALL I ASK FOR IS A LITTLE HELP IN FINDING PEOPLE BUT ALL I SEEM TO GET FLAX. THIS IS WHAT I THOUGH THIS SITE WAS ABOUT, HELPING TO FIND PEOPLE. I PAID TO BE A GOLD MEMBER, SO WHATS THE PROBLEM? SOME OF YOU MAY BE EXPERT AT THIS GAME, I'M ONLY JUST LEANRING. SO HELP IS ALL I ASK.

Geez, Helen


Thank you


I was fuming last night about the deleted posts on this thread ........ deleted by helpers who had found information, posted it then deleted it. And I know they had done that because I saw this thread earlier in the day but didn't have time to do any work on it.


I knew that I was repeating some work because of those deletions



BUT to now know that work has been repeated because Trevor didn't give all the information he had


That's it!!

More steam coming from ears!


I shall be ultra careful with Trevor and his requests in future.

Trevor has had previous posts re his copley family- some now deleted. Trevor, you really need to look through and accurately record info that is given you- this will save unpaid GR members repeating the same research.

Well well


There are TWO Daniel Friend Copleys born in Kent

One in 1836 who seemingly married a Mary Ann ...... and was a Carpenter or Carpenter and Joiner


and one in 1840 who married Isabella ....... and was a Carpenter



which one was born in Dartford and which one was born in Gravesend ......... seems to differ from census to census!!



I can find the marriage to Mary Ann .......... but not the marriage to Isabella.





could defintiely be a bit of a problem sorting it all out!!

Probably completely unverified information, submitted by an individual, who is/was probably a church member.





bearcub

....... did you have a previous thread on the family?


Is that thread still in existence or have you deleted it?



I'm just wondering what other information mught have been posted on that thread.





I'm also wondering if you realise that no information is provided by GR ..................... the information given on these threads and boards is ALL found and posted by individual members of GR, we call ourselves helpers.

We all have experience in researching our families, and like to help other people. We do that using our memberships in other sites, and using our expertise in attempting to sort through information.


However, we none of us claim to be infallible, and for that reason I maintain that all information provided by any helper should be double-checked.


It seems that whoever found the information above for you did not tell you that one has to be very very careful of information found on www.familysearch.org if it does not come from a known source, such as parish registers, and if it does not say that there is backing documentation.

I realised that GR was Genes Reunited but didn't understand what you meant by saying that the names were given by GR..

Do you have any certificates to connect back to Ada Copley?
