Hi all, Hope you've all booked your nursing home - gave me a good laugh to start the day and glad it tickled other's funny bones too. Message from Pips - her OH was laughing so much trying to read it to her - anyway he's gone and booked his room - pmsl Sandra - loved the story of the cockies - love watching them hang on the power lines - their balance leaves a lot to be desired at times. We often have them trying to get the rubber strip out of the street lights, then they swing away on the end - very entertaining birds. Lara - loved the soup commercial Tony - missed the ABC - but can watch it anytime cos I got the DVD - loved that concert Yvette - dont know what wardrobe guy thought of mess but he's quoting for 2 bedroom wardrobes, linen cupboard update in passage and office bench, shelf, 2 filing cabinets & cupboard for study (was the dining room) so I think he was more interested in the work I'm putting his way. Then he & OH got talking model cars - that's another project he's likely to get before heading outside to look at the Torana. Hoping to get back to the h.......k on Tuesday - have to work tomorrow but can feel my feng shui improving already. Warm day here again and smokey with it. Catchya later Gwenda

Arvo Peeps...:>))) Bewdiful day in Melbin town. Channel seven in Melb. ( News ) should be worth watching tonight. There's talk about 'Rain tax for people who have water tanks'. Ya gotta be jokin,surely. Wonder which Idiot thought that up.......... But should make for some interesting viewing. Thought this might happen...... Tax on ya Tank. Hint: If you purchase a Water tank, dont get the Govt.rebate, cos then they know you got one, cos your down on their list. So much for trying to save water. Watching the cricket while doing some FH. Ozzies have 2 fer 7 ........GO OZZIES...lol Mary. I had a quick look at your thread on Records Office. I did have a search for your elusive Sidney Page/Paige but could only spend a little time on it, as i am in the middle of doing research for two ther people at the moment in Ireland. This person ( Sidney Page ) Father: Sidney.......dosent appear to be anywhere on the 1881, given that he was born c.1874. and may have been born O/seas ( possible ). Its also possible he lied about his age at time of marriage ( always a possible....lol ) I have down loaded a few clues which i will check later, if you dont get a positive response from others. If your friend knows the marriage details, i would be trying to purchase the Cert. or at least the Death cert. for confirmation. There was a Sidney Page birth registered Cambridge. ( below ) on the 1881, although the Fathers name dosent tie up. Father: Stephen There is also a person on GR who has these details (below ) in her tree, after i did a 'Quick search' in the space provided above. Sidney PAGE Household Male Other Information: Birth Year <1877> Birthplace Ickleton, Cambridge, England Age 4 Occupation Scholar Marital Status Head of Household Stephen PAGE Relation Son Disability Source Information: Dwelling Mill Lane Census Place Ickleton, Cambridge, England Family History Library Film 1341400 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 1671 / 35 Page Number 25 ***************************************** Also the U.S.A has a registered Sidney Page Father: Sidney 1880 Census......although the birth year dosent match.born.abt 1859. ( below ) Its the only Sidney Page i can find with Father: Sidney. Name: Sidney Page Home in 1880: Corpus Christi, Nueces, Texas Age: 21 Estimated birth year: abt 1859 Birthplace: Virginia Relation to head-of-household: Son Father's name: Sydney Father's birthplace: VA Mother's name: Fannie Mother's birthplace: VA Neighbors: View others on page Tony Oz....:>)))

Fanny will visit firestation later (ho ho - on the net I mean) btw you (Fanny) were complaining about having to go back to IE because Firefox was playing up. .. Have you tried IE7 - the latest? .. It's not too bad actually. .. I have now deleted Slim browser, MyIE2, Acoo, Mozilla & Firefox (which I have tried) - and I think IE7 has all the same new things. Dum de daa - back to the packing - uhmmm it's lunch time innit? Ok. Lunchbreak! Jood

Hi Peeps , Back and rearing to go today on my FH. I ave put on the records board under the title The helper needs some help,,,,. the people I am looking for.

When i was talking to her she was passing the royal balcoonie. I've bathed a nd deflea ed one pooch, cutains soaking in the bath, beds part stripped, washing whirling. I'm going to try and stay away from the cricket. one kid has gone to watch the local one day final, they were eliminated last week. birthday boy 25 is off to play golf, miles is plonking away on the double bass and poss. is looking for something. Back to it I suppose. thinking housework, was the cupboard bloke impressed with your tidy room Glenda? Not going fishing today unless we go late this arvo. love from Yvette x
