Jess, Have you seen the FT that Tracy has compiled ? She has been working behind the scenes ! I think we are a bit late ! Elaine :-)

Jeanette, Thanks SOOO much babe ! Lady Liberty, Your a treasure. To All, As long as we can keep on top of this info we should be able to refer to it. I THINK I have convinced Richard to NOT delete the other thread. He has asked me for a marriage c 1920.if anyone can help ? John or Joseph Johnson to Elizabeth Brookes or Brooks West Bromwich maybe circa 1920 If anyone has access to the free indexes upto 1920, it would be great if they can be checked. If nothing is found, I'll check 1837online 1920 onwards. Elaine :-)

I just have to say how I admire you people - you are marvellous! It had crossed my mind to help as I felt so frustrated for him but it would have taken me a year - well done! Debby

brookes marriage too late for ancestry did look. (no i havent, by the way...)

The Johnson marriage was after 1920. I haven't got that one :) I was wrong... Marriage Mar 1920 Brookes Elizabeth Johnson West Bromwich 6b 1405 I know why I didn't fnd it. He told me it was Joseph lol Don't say stuff like that DD - it's not that great lol

Hi Johnathon ....and Tracy ! Yes, that looks like it ! I never assumed that that particular website came this far forward in time.!!! Heather told me about that site earlier ! Good innit ! Thats Brilliant. Maybe you would like to place your findings on Richards Birth Lookup thread for him Johnathon .... just don't let him know about this thread please, I couldn't be doing with him hijacking it, no offence intended, ... I THINK he may have gone off for tonight, he asked me if I would keep an eye on his thread and make sure it didn't drop of the board. :-) Elaine :-) TRACY, you deserve loads of praise and more besides ! can I send it onto Jess ? or would you like to do the honours ? You have put so much work into it. Jess, how much help do you want to give !!!! LoL ...there IS something that you may be able to help with !!!!!!! Have a look at Tracy's FT ... and see which is the best way to add the additional info in such a way that Richard will understand it. I COULD and have before now, drawn a Family Tree for a friend ... in the 'traditional way' ... it could take a few days with all the info collated ! lol ! Elaine :-)

I don't have Jess' email, so you can if you want :) She should (I think) be able to open it.

Just want to add my admiration to you all for the hard work you have put in for Richard. I remember how frustrated we all were with him at the very beginning. But he has listened and tried to find some information for himself. Wanted to pop in and try to help in some small way, but computer very slow earlier on. If I can help now, please let me know. Once again, well done all.

Debby & Christine, .... just add any info that you think is appropriate but that we have missed ! As long as we have this thread, we can collate the info and try and do something with it ! ...she says ! If nothing else, we can get information from it if needed. Tracy ....I will gladly forward the ft to ... Jess ... (get ready for PM Jess !) I did notice that Richard HAS got 40 people on his FT on this site so far ... so maybe if the information he needs is forwarded onto him bit by bit, whilst he adds it, then he may be able to keep on top of it himslef ? We'll see. Elaine :-)

I've just logged on again and I'm amazed at how much information there is here. I have the 1851 census for Warwickshire and Worcestershire if needed. Heather :-)

I've just suggested that I ask Richard for access to his tree. He has 40 people on it, so, if he agree's I can see who he needs to add - and then feed him little bits of information at a time and when he's added that info, I can feed him some more. I can also keep an eye on his tree and check he's adding the correct info in the correct place. I'm sure he's offline at present, as he hasn't replied, but we'll see how he responds tomorrow. Maybe its the only way forward ? Thanks to ALL of you for all the help. I know we were all getting as frustrated as each other, so having pulled together we MAY be able to help him after all. Elaine :-) - going offline myself now !
