Sally many congratulations on your 50th anniversary.

I hope you will both be well enough to celebrate together.

Shadow is still very poorly-its been over 24 hours since he had any food so I have taken an emergency days holiday. We have an emergency appointment at the vets. I just hope they can do something for him. I don't want to lose him so soon.

Now I am crying again. I can't seem to stop. I feel a right idiot. Must look a terrible sight

Hi Anne

I think it comes from living in Australia for 50 years ,it gets so hot in Summer you just need something to cool you down :-D Snow looks so nice and cool.

Have a nice day everyone off out to get wood in the Forest again ,getting ready for next Winter :-( lol.

Suex <3 :-D

hello all
poor shadow he might have eaten something he found that was mouldy

lots of heavy showers and cold today also windy

oh is not so good this week and it is our50 wedding anniversary tomorrow whear has tine gone

it is over 30 years since we moved from London the best thing we have ever done I would hate to live there now all the traffic and noice it is so much a slower pace of life and so peaceful here


sally w <3

Sue I think we may have to send you to counselling – anyone actively wanting Snow - needs somoen to speak to about their thoughts

I do agree its very pretty to look at - but not when you are trying to get to & from work

How long a trip are you planning?

I think your sister lives a long way from us.


Arthur - Shadow seems to be very poorly at the moment - I know he does not like the rain - so could be depressed Especially if it goes on all day – or heavy winds.

He only really sniffed his breakfast yesterday but he did eat a few dreamies. He did not ask for any food yesterday evening & left his dinner.
He slept in one place all evening & all night - most unusual.

Normally first thing in the morning he is Up & out of the house like a rocket – this morning he didn’t even go to the door or window & nowhere near the kitchen. He took no notice when Ginger nut knocked on the door for food. When i gave him a little handful of dreamies as we left this morning – he didn’t even go & investigate.

Usually he makes a dash for the bag as soon as we go near it. We are both very worried about him. Trouble is we are also out of the hose most of the day today. Dread to know what I am going to find when I get home.

He won’t play with any of his toys either or go near them - which is very unusual. If he keeps this up tonight then it’s going to be a trip to the vet tomorrow.

He didn’t even like his brush this morning. We have picked him up
and not had any squeaks or yelps so does not look like he hurts anywhere.

I am at a loss - any ideas?

Thanks Depressed from the South coast of England

Hi everyone

Another sunny day today ,beautiful weather we are having latly.

My garden is looking so nice with all the new Rose blooms coming out and at the beginning of Summer they are always big blooms and with lot of colour.

Talking to my Sister last night in the UK on Skype she tells me it is very cold and possible Snow is around the corner ,I wish I could be there to see it but I think our trip is going to be about may next year and I think all the snow will be gone by then worst luck , My oH has never seen snow and would love to see it just once in his lifetime.

Sylvia your trip sounds great ...I am envious of you ,will get to Canada one day I do have an Uncle and Aunt there so will be able to stay with them,I do have a lot of Cousins that I have not even met yet.

I hope you are keeping well
My love to you all <3

Suex :-D <3

Love hearing about Shadow.

I collected my two from the cattery where they were for 5 days while I enjoyed a weekend in Scotland - it was under cover!!

The owner said they were a great advertisement for his cattery as they entertained all the other owners. Whenever they saw anybody they rolled on their back or climbed the glass, often their moves were synchronised. This happened when nearly every other cat was snuggled down in the warmth of the hutch. You could not but laugh at their antics.

They will be returning in November when I go for a short break in Corfu and again in December when I spend Xmas in Spain.

Arthur

Well Autumn is here - it’s raining hard today & chilly

Shadow hates it & has gone into hibernation under the quilt

Came home the other day to find he had made himself a very cozy nest in the middle of my pillow - little devil. He had pulled down the sheet & the cat cover & made a nice little bed for himself. He didn't bother to make the bed again though. he even took a couple of toys to bed with him too as i found a catnip mouse under the cover & two squidgy balls by the pillow.

He likes playing with OH's slippers & keeps hiding the toys in them. then he sits by them & paws at them till you remove the toys & play with him. if you don’t play with him he sits on HIS cushion (which i bought for me) lovely bright pink one, and turns his back on you for the evening.

i obviously upset him yesterday as he sat on John all evening and really burrowed himself down on his lap & hid his head between him & the chair. Covered his nose with his paw & snored

He is such a little terror but you do have to smile & he really is very loveable. i really think he was sent to us to cheer us up.

He has taken a likening to our wallpaper - or he thinks we should redecorate.

For an 11 year old cat he has a lot of life in him still - too much sometimes - i had to jump on the sofa the other day as he was tearing around the room with his 3 squidgy balls at a rate of knots & didn't knock anything over (except a near miss with me) and a several claw marks in the TV guide that was on the floor when he flew past and tried to get leverage with his claws rather than slide all over on it.

Yesterday he hit the guide glossy side up at speed & slid across the floor on it - when it stopped he looked very confused & kept poking at it to see if it would do it again.


Oh well back to work

Hope you are all keeping well

Arthur


glad to see that Choccy and Chris have found the deaths .......... both are before July 1 1837, so the Parish Records are all the evidence that you will find.



it's a lovely day ................... sunny, but definitely Fall. Foggy in the morning, long shadows, chilly at night :-)




take care everyone

certainly .................. others ask that kind of question.

we're into Fall here ................


Summer officially ended at 7:29 pm (precisely!!) on Monday evening


the first Pacific storm of the Fall season arrived on Tuesday afternoon :-(


I had to go and find out a lightweight winter turtleneck sweater on Wednesday ........... I think I'll be doing the change over from summer to winter clothes this weekend :-)

We might have a short return to warmer temperatures over the weekend ...... so I'll keep a couple of summer tops available :-)



Not sure whether I posted this ................. I've now booked our complete trip over Christmas. We're going to the daughter's, and as usual we are going both ways by train, but we will stay in a hotel over there, their house is just getting too crowded and her husband gets really upset with too many people around.

The trip over has cost me nothing :-) .................... we had collected enough points with the train company over our previous trips to do it all on points. AND they don't charge any extra for taxes, insurance etc etc, as do the airline companies with their loyalty points.

Last week I booked the train trip home ............. had to pay for that one though :-( :-)

Sylvia

Should not trust to memory before making an entry. Thought the marriage was November.

Would it be appropriate to ask on another board if someone is going to the Suffolk Registery Office if they could look for the deaths of William Lucock and Elizabeth Nichol(l)s? There are a lot of people with those names listed on Ancestry, in Select Deaths and Burials, but no details.

I live alittle too far from the nearest office, although I hope to make a trip sometime during the winter, with carefully prepared queries.

Hi Everyone

Another beautiful day today ,a bit of rain later and tomorrow but I do not mind as getting gardens ready for Summer ...it all helps with the water .

My tree is coming along very nice ,a few brick walls down that is always good .

Anne we used to have a great steak house here but it closed down ,always did a great meal,glad to hear you are having a week off.

Oh gone out with the Son this morning so a bit of peace and I had the chance to read the Newspaper all to myself :-D

Back to the housework :-(

Love to you all <3

Suex <3 :-D

Arthur


you are very welcome!


Re his re-marriage .............. it happened in May 1840, and that Elizabeth you've found did not die until October-December 1840 ...................... so probably / possibly not her?

Sylvia

I have found a possible death for Elizabeth Nichols (nee Blackshaw). It occurred in Woodbridge in the fourth quarter. This would mean that Henry remarried very quickly after his wife's death assuming she died early October.

I am still looking for the death of William Lucock.

Sylvia

What a difference when a 'professional' looks at the evidence compared with my amateur attempts.

Your findings make sense.and I am sure you are correct .

I had not considered that Eliza was not the same person as Elizabeth, wife of Henry Nichols. Names on Census do change to make tracing people more difficult or put doubt in your mind about validity of findings.

I do not have a death for Elizabeth Nicholls nee Blackshaw in my tree.

A problem with my tree at this time is the large numbers of siblings having large families. They tend to use family names, so a number of brothers will have a Joseph in their families after their father. Christenings are vital in allocating a child to the correct parents - fortunately christenings were the norm.
Killing off the Nicholls can be difficult as age and place of birth and death can be the same.

Many many thanks

Arthur

Anne ............................



it's great that you are taking some time off .............. and that you had a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday


Don't rush that eye!

Similarly, all I can suggest for Elizabeth Nicholls death is that it must have been between the birth of Ann and 1840

I can't find a death for William Lucock, Sr ........................ but it must be between 1831 and 1840

there are two versions of William Lucock's marriage to Eliza on familysearch, with slightly different place names. I don't know enough about Suffolk geography to explain why. They ARE the same marriage! ...................

Henry's wife on the 1841 is shown as Eliza, not Elizabeth

Could his first wife have died, and he re-married?
