Hi Lynda, We're an unusual bunch I must admit. Besides the Spanish Woman & the wig maker, I can do you a moderately successful landscape artist who exhibited with the RA, someone who had 2 singles in the indie charts in the late 70s, a multi-millionaire recent OBE and a circus bareback rider. Did your cousin(?) play in the women's FA CUP match last weekend against Bristol Rovers ? I must admit I don't know what the score was or who went through. Considered going for a short while, but then it rained ! Rick.

Rick Sorry mate, got a bit carried away in your absence. I think it was quite easy as although it was allegedly compulsary, it wasn't enforced. I think it was about 1875 when they introduced a fine if you didn't register BMD's. Jeanette

Karen, Oi ! Stop hijacking my thread with your construction projects ! I'm sure he'll get around to it when the footie season is over. I've got a good prospect for Alfred on the IGI - b.23 Jun 1816 and a large number of siblings/parents/grandparents to go with it. I'd really love to get the marriage cert just to prove that the parents are his & therefore so are the other lot. How does someone not get on the civil register ? Rick.

Karen, just don't go there! He still hasn't finished this one that he started 2 years ago. While you're on, you're not descended from any Bradys from Hull are you? A long shot I know, but worth a try. Jeanette

Kettles on, chokky digestives on a plate. Hubby's threatening to leave home at the thought of a load of 'sad cemetery searchers' getting together! If only I'd known it was gonna be that easy to get rid of him. lol Jeanette

Hi Rick & Jeanette Have you got any biscuites for when I arrive? chocolate would be nice! Rick, Why have you got so many interesting people in your tree? Hair Artistes, Spanish Women, the most interesting I've got is a marine store dealer, and thats only interesting because I'm not 100% sure what it is, and he is the only one of my GG Grandparents I can't find.

Hi folks, Some of you were kind enough to contribute to my thread on whether Marianne and Mary Ann were interchangeable or not and I promised an update when I got the marriage certificate. The question was, could Alfred and Marianne Pike on the 1851 census be the Alfred Pike and Mary Ann Turner who married in 1840 in Clerkenwell. Well, the answer was no. The Alfred on the cert was a bookkeeper, while my ancestor was an "artiste in hair" (aka a wig maker !!!). Someone I've been in contact with through GC has claimed the other couple as his own, so I'm now stumped. The problem is that Alfred was born 1816 and Marianne 1819 and they had their first child in 1841, so I make the likely marriage dates 1837 to 1842 and there's only one Alfred Pike on 1837online marrying between those years and that's the bookkeeper. Any suggestions on where to go next ? Rick.
