GiN just going off course for a second. Have you heard of a place called St Tombland in Norwich or Norfolk ?? :-S :-S

:-Dthanks

Barb - yes, Tombland is in the old part of Norwich. There is a church there, though I think it might be St. Michaels. It's just a street now, but once had the largest market in Norfolk. I believe. :-)

Afternoon GP.....don't mention blood pressure....mineis flipping at the moment :-D

Mersey dear.....I have spent a fortune on petrol searching all around Rhyl,Prestatyn Ffrith Beach, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay.

Where the devil are you????? <3

Hello Fly! <3

GP - I'm sure we girls have nothing to do with your elevated blood pressure! :-0 ;-)

As for the small matter, would you care to enlarge on that? :-D :-D ;-)

Thanks GiN, My gt,gt, grandfather was born there about 1816. Griffin Yard. Couldn't find it on modern map.

I'll google the church :-)

He probably would like to enlarge on it. He's a man

pmsl :-D :-D

Well somethings caused my blood pressure to rise but I can't put my finger on it. :-D ;-)
If you wish I will enlarge on it. Close your eyes and when I count to three open them. 1-2-3 There are you now satisfied. :-D ;-)

Blinked again and missed it! Story of my life! :-D :-D ;-)

Barb - try googling Tombland, Norwich - quite a bit of info and a few images. :-)

Edit - try googling Griffin Yard Tombland Norwich -even better!

hello all again :-)

been out looking for a freezer not many shops that have them so settled for Argos
they will deliver and plug in :-D :-D :-D

GinN - Thats what the doctor said. :-D :-D :-D

By the way you were supposed to wait until I counted to three not two. ;-) ;-)

GP

Hello, Lilybids!

There are plenty places on line to find freezers and other appliances, but getting them to unwrap and install is definitely a different matter! However, for a small fee, Curries delivered and installed my new washing machine and took the old one away! :-D

We are looking to buy a second freezer,didn't order one came home to measure
Thanks Ann will now look on line :-)


edit we used to have curries and comet but they closed up :-(

Just had a look GiN. It looks a really great place to visit. Loads of historical buildings too. I read there was a thriving leather industry and it fits that my ancestor was a boot closer. I had St Tombland wrongly.

I have just had a very enjoyable history lesson

So why did he move to Exeter by 1851 LOL :-D

Maybe it doesn't apply to anyone on here but did you all see my post back a bit. Nobody commented so I guess nobody read it or is involved. :-) :-)

Now, GP! Calm down, calm down - think of your blood pressure! :-D :-D ;-)

Barb - Norwich is a great city, with tons of history - I love going there, only 42 miles away! One of my GGFx3 was born in Norwich, but was brought up in Surrey. Seems that people moved around more than we think! :-)

I didn't reply Ann as I hadn't posted on there.

:-) :-)

Not a problem Barb.

Hi Ann,
I wasn't ignoring you - Its not my nature. It's just that I had not contributed to the thread in question because I thought there might have been a genuine mistake.
Sorry.

GP

That's fine GP, as long as people have seen the post, it is just that the thread took off quickly so it was possible nobody spotted it.
