jax -- report the post calling you rude. I *always* do that. I do not allow insulting posts directed at me to remain on the baord, particulalry when my own post has been deleted.


Will no one help me with my Chelsea Pensioner(s)??

I RRed it too, thus:

None of the "volunteer helpers" here needs to be spoken to this way. I do not know what was in the previous post since it has been deleted. I doubt very much that it warranted this snotty and nasty reply. This individual asked for help because her platinum membership didn't get her what she wanted. That's not the fault of any "volunteer helper" and none of us cares to be treated like this. Whose patronage is worth more - the "volunteer helpers" or the platinum members? I wonder.

and also added a post.

Thanks JC
The post I made said " It was not admin that asked you to merge your last two posts but another member, now you are asking for someone else to duplicate the work done"

I actually saw the other thread which was about the great grandmother so I had also given her 1911 and 1901 census's for her plus a 1891 census for the father Robert which also could not be found on GR for some strange reason

Hi all


heavy rain on Sunday, loss of internet service Monday all day, able to get internet on Tuesday but out all day so not able to use it.


This seems to have happened 2 or 3 times over the last few months in similar circumstances.

Think I shall have to start keeping a weather record and then see if the provider can find the answer!!


I have still not been able to read back over the last 10 days worth of happenings!



Robert ........ thank you so much for providing breakfasts!

I wonder if this lot realise that you make much better breakfasts than I do?

Edit - I must have said the details were not hard to find also.


How was I meant to know she was using GR and not FMP? which I thought was the same company anyway

I am getting ready for a great big halo polishing, with all hands rubbing.

Cross your fingers!


edit ... oh, never mind. All the searching around I did, and I found the person they were already in touch with (so not a case of no family after all).

Think so Sylv

One census saying he was born in Ireland could be a mistake but not two by his mother.
Whether he will ever find his birth reg thats another matter, if he was registered in the mothers name how many Murphy's must there be born in Ireland?

My good friend Mr Lee in Vancouver had that problem. ;)

He was the assistant to ... what's her name ... Jewett? MP. Pauline Jewett. During the 84 election he was sent back to the riding to work on the campaign. And he got a constant stream of calls from other candidates' reps trying to talk to him in Cantonese or Mandarin. He barely spoke French. Scottish through and through!
