It was wonderful news indeed Sue....let's hope Sylvia is back on here soon.


Had quite a busy day what with one thing and another. I thought my washer had broken at one stage but, thankfully, I was wrong.......


Just watched an episode of Midsomer Murders.......I am getting used to the new Barnaby and still wonder at how many murders there are each time.....must be hardly anyone left in those villages.......:-D


Better get a good night's sleep........my beauty needs it.....


Love to all. Cx.

Hi Everyone

Wonderful news Cynthia ,please pass along my love and good wishes for all positive news.

We are hearing more all the time on Breast Cancer,I sometimes think that they do have a cure for it but how many people would it put out of work,it is an awful thought I know but so much money has gone into finding a cure for all types of Cancer surely they must be close to finding some sort of cure.

So many people have been touched by all Cancers,I myself lost my mother to it and she was only 49yrs old,I get angry when I hear of more with this horrendous illness.

Anne I hope you enjoy your Popcorn,pitty you are not watching a movie at the same time,visitors at the moment be back again tonight.

Suex <3 <3 <3

Big hugs to Sylviax <3

Sylvia had the surgery at 9:00am and was very awake and resting well by
2:00pm. No problems so she should be home tomorrow.

I think that Richbell could be a badly written Redgewell.

Was not transferring my other thread to here, but thought your expertise might help me when attempting to verify a death - always before 1837 so more difficult.

FBG I did not thank you properly for the info on the Muirsons.

Hannah Maria is the first person in the Nicholls family that has been found in a workhouse. Wonder what the circumstances were that forced her into the workhouse - no immediate family and apparanetly deserted by husband. At least no children involved.

Not my direct line, but still sad.

Good day everyone.
Fingers crossed and hope all goes well for Our Sylvia.
Ron is Multi tasking in his chair again, he said he doesnt feel too good today but that is quite usual at this stage of his treatment so I am not worried unduly.
Cant believe Anne is going to have time off from work, I am sure she will get withdrawal symtoms.
It puzzles me how I ever had time to go to work, life seems so busy at the moment that I couldnt possibly fit anymore in, though even now I miss the company.
Lots of odd jobs calling me so I am going to put cotton wool in my ears and sit and read a book.
Love to you all
Evelyn

Morning all - 5am start for the next three days - so time to chat - hopefully

Gosh its been very fulll on here - don't know where all the work comes from - i seem to be busy all day - but have very little to show for it at the end of the day.

Never mind - I have a week off next week - please don't all faint at once

Managed to get my freebie weekend away - not the hotel i wanted - but beggers can't be choosers - very greatful for what I get & two lots of two freebie nights away in one year is amazing.

i know this hotel won't be as glam as the ones we went to before - but at least OH will feel more at home - he hates going tot he 5* properties - this one is a 3/4* with delusions of grandure - it charges 4* prices - but is very tucked away in the country.

To quote from the website " A beautiful Jacobean Manor House standing in 14 acres of grounds on the outskirts of the medieval wool town of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire, Woolley Grange was a family home for 400 years before becoming the first Luxury Family Hotel in 1989."

Well i don'tcare if its not up to our clients standard - it will be a lovely weekend away for our birthday & I have saved up to splash out on a bottle of wine with dinner on saturday for our birthday treat. We get a free 3 course meal on the first night & breakfast each day. It will be nice to feel as though we are getting a holiday this year.

OH is 60 next year & would love to go back to the US for a holiday - I would love to take him but the cost is astronomical - unless we get lucky on the lotto in the next 9 months. Well you have to have a dream don't you.

Off to sort out a few things while the phones are silent.

Take care all

Hi Everyone

Arthur I think you may be better off staying with the thread you started in the first place ,I would keep nudging up just in case anyone looking for you on Finding Ancestors is still keeping an eye out for any other info that comes up.
I can't find a marriage for Peter Nicholls and Sarah Redgewell but there is one for Peter Nicholls and a Sarah Richbell 1808 in Limehouse,are you sure of this marriage.


I have a big day of ironing today ,it is still raining so I am in thre best place for it,hope there is a good midday movie on today.

Pop in Later.

I started a thread Marriage and Death on 'Finding ancestors', to try to find the death of Sarah Redgewell. She was married to Peter Nicholls, a brother of my 3 x Great Grandfather.

Peter like his father, also Peter, married twice. In both cases it appears to be because he had very young children.

I have two suggested deaths for Sarah and would appreciate your thoughts on how I might be able to verify which one is correct.

Sarah Nichols
England and Wales, Non-Conformist Record Indexes (RG4-8)
burial:10 Sep 1822Bethnal Green,? Middlesex
name:Sarah Nichols
event type:Burial
burial date:10 Sep 1822
burial place:Bethnal Green, Middlesex
record set:RG8_0309

Name: Sarah Nicholls
Record Type: Burial
Estimated Death Date: abt 1825
Burial Date: 13 Mar 1825
Age: 44
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781
Parish or Poor Law Union: Southwark Christ Church
Borough: Southwark

Peter's second marriage details:

Name: Peter Nicholls
Spouse Name: Mary Henniker
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 12 Jun 1825
Parish: St John at Hackney
County: Middlesex
Borough: Hackney

Peter & Sarah's last two children were baptised in Southwark, making the March 25th 1825 burial favourite - but very close to the marriage.

Hi Everyone

Old ....I Told you we were good on here didn't I...well done FBG.
I hope you stick around for a while .

Evelyn that was very clever of you to get the OH outside for a while,it will be great for him to have some fresh air and mix with the public again.

We have had a very wet and stormy weekend and I so glad we got the Gardening done before it hit ....the rain has washed in all the fertilizer in to the plant .
Our Football team won the other night so now we are in the semi finals so another nerve racking game to sit through,it really gets me so nervous that sometimes I have to walk out of the room.
This is why I love the Cricket more as it is not so nerve racking to watch.

Still raining outside and my weather station is working a treat 35ml of rain yesterday,for us that is a lot.

Doing roast Pork tonight,like to feed the OH he works harder that way ,only joking I like to spoil him a bit he is very good .

So hooked on this Moving To The Country show from the UK,the country homes for sale are beautiful and so cheap We could not believe our eyes ,Now he wants to buy one and live in the UK for a few years.
For one I don't want to and I don't think they would let us buy property there.
My OH is Australian and I have duel citizenship, I was born there.

Enough of that I can't see hom leaving our Grandchildren anyway.

Better get the baked Potatoes on.

Well done FBG, you really are a star.
Very wet and windy here on the island,glad not to be going out as I have no anchors, though I do have quite a lot of fat that I would be better without.
Ron is having an O K day watching T V as he rests his eyes today he is snoring as well my goodness he really is good at multi tasking.
He bought quite a few books yesterday afternoon at the book sale, hasnt taken them out of the bag yet so no fear of him reading them sometime soon, well at least it got him out of the house so that is a bonus.
Much love to you all
