your cheating with your tan being natural though,,,
with your BM, it might be she was an unrecorded birth, do you know her parents at all, where they came from, all I can suggest is look for a death cert or that internet detective that says he can find anything on any one. of course there is a fee.
Having an unrecorded birth is not uncommon, this is what we believe might be the case with the ggggggggggrandparents of 1776, we can't find birth records and believe that at least she might have been a child of the "Cock Road Gang" that bullied the areas back then.

Some people have to pay to use sunbeds, I'm golden brown (light tan) all year, the money I save, lol!!!

Gosh Doc, times must have been so hard for them,but so brave, what adventurerers/explorers. NSW sposed to be so lovely.

21 - wow! OH's stepmother was one of 20, oldest brought youngest up, all from Dunfermline (old capital of Scotland), true Scots to end.

Dad from India, married my mum supposed to be Irish/Canadian/English but hey who knows. One day she was here, next min she was gone. Did it repeatedly from what I can gather. Still, we're not like her, stopped that circle. Hard finding anything on her.

one of 12, small number,
me one of 21. and totally mixed

with our start here in Australia, we came into NSW (Sydney) and Hobart Tasmania, ventured up into Victoria and from there back into NSW and West Australia, some did head out into the world, but looking in the Aust phone listing there is less than 100 recorded (families)

Forgot to say, dad travelled world with Merchant Navy, lived in New for few years, got married there (lol, could be more of us!), then came here, now has 7 of us (5=1/2 bro's/sis' but think of them as full). One of my sisters went to N.Y., visited where he had lived, walked in his footsteps lol.

BM had 5 (previous marriage) so I am one of 12!

Well you've done extremely well doc. could they have gone to America, lots did.

Done well you say, ha I say to you.

there is a group I helped put together, about 20, all woring the same family, several in UK, but no one has been able to find info going back further than that date.

Bath is gorgeous Doc, have stayed there, if you go again, visit Stratford on Avon, very similar. Have family in S Wales so Bath's on Way.

Gosh, you've done well with your family tree. My BM 'vanished' literally - long story, have found one long lost adopted sis who didn't know we existed.

Joan, I'm terrified of heights since my bro's 'accident'. End of last year spent few days in London, went on London Eye + river cruise, Don't even know you're moving on L.Eye, brill, fab views, see Houses of Parliament, Savoy Hotel, Cleopatra's Needle, all along The Embankment. Just round corner from Covent Garden - hun, go for it!

Cheers, catch you later :) ~~

SS not been to London in a long long time OH wants to go on London eye [ think he would have panic attack ] so lucky to live by the Thames,

one mile is .62 of a kilometer.
so if travel at 60 mph you are doing 100 kilometer per,

so far we have made it into Bath, Hanham, Oldfield, Bitton in Glos, with papers but unable to find anything further back that 1776, we have collected all names in the areas but as yet found nothing to say yes with.

Hi wc, c yer later wc, have a good day! x

1.62 miles per kilometer Doc

hi bye see ya.

Brief in/out :)
hi all off again bye ~~

Hey Doc, I remember £'s, shillings and pence! We had to learn decimilisation, managed that, kilometres came later. Think 1km - similar to 1 mile, maybe bit more.

Were your family originally from here then? I've got real mixture in me, lol!

Shani, this is Australia, we started with metric in the 70's, we know what a kilometer is by now.

Why?

If you ever come over, we'll show you around. I'd tell you distance by kilometres but would confuse you even more than now lol!

London Eye is about 20 minutes from me. You have River Thames. London one side, Kent just over the other side.

that still don't help, I have been told when I get up there, to close my eye's and have an escort to get me around.
