Find Ancestors

I went to the local shops today.........most of them closed

I was on the garden today, knocking off the heavy snow that was weighing down the shrubs

We dont get many cars on our road in the best of weather, today....one 4x4 and thats it!

You do have lovely neighbours Cynths !!!

Strange here - it has been snowing all day and sometimes VERY heavy but there is less snow lying around now than there was this morning :-S

I am not complaining about that ;-)

Dea Xxx

Spotted my next door but one neighbour clearing his drive and then that of the old chap next door......I sprinted to the bedroom, donned trousers and jumper over my jamas and raced outside to ask if he would help me to clear ours...... :-D


No problem - I can at least reverse onto the road now :-D :-D :-D Mind you, after all that sprinting and racing, I am cream crackered.......!!

Good morning everyone :-) :-)

Well, it sounds like none of us will be going anywhere today! 4-5 inches of snow here too overnight, I can just imagine how excited the grandchildren will be :-0 :-) :-)

It is still coming down like a blizzard out there :-(

Sorry you have been 'in the wars' David - hop you get better soon <3

I think I need the full english again today - thank you Cynthia <3

See you all later,

Dea x

Croissants.....yum, with some strawberry jam and a big cup of Assam :-D

Seems like we all logged on at the same time this morning

Morning all,

Another 4~5 inches of snow overnight and it is still falling.

Mrs J's singing group are scheduled to perform their biannual charity concert in a local town hall this evening. They normally get an audience of about 500 but with the weather and roads as they are they will be lucky to get any if indeed the event can go ahead.

Sorry to hear of your problems David, your absence has been commented upon. I don't know whether you saw it or not but 3 weeks ago I posted some more information about your mysterious ancestor on this thread. It may help resolve your query. As you say, "Keep Smiling."

David, I hope you are OK.........we are here to keep you busy :-)


Linds...........mom and dad to the rescue! We never stop looking after our 'children' do we!

Very heavy snow here and drifts that have made everything look like huge lumps as opposed to shapes. The cars that didnt move yesterday are almost unrecognisable

Mornin all~~~~~~ :-D

Good morning all...... :-D


David! Whatever have you been doing? I realised you had been missing but thought you were busy elsewhere. Do hope everything is going okay for you. Keep smiling indeed.....get better soon. :-)


Linds, sounds like an exciting night.......not. The snow is a menace I agree. Glad everyone got sorted out.

I don't think I will be able to get the car out, so that means that daughter will not be a happy bunny. :-( I think she forgets that I am not a 30 year old anymore and that digging snow is not that easy any more. The impossible I can do. Miracles take a little longer.... :-D


So to breakfast:

Plenty of porridge to go round.

Full English on it's way.

Continental - the croissants are gently warming

Cereals of all kinds.......do you remember the excitement of getting a 'free toy' in a box of cereal. Probably wouldn't be allowed now with all the red tape around ;-)

Tea and coffee - naturally.....where would we be without those ?


Going for a browse......it's about as far as I WILL be going today I think.....xx

Morning people.Hope you are well.I am in hospital these past 3 weeks.Have hadd 2 operations for multple fractures to my left leg. Keep smiling.

Just got time to come on here for a catch up.

First and most importantly Gins that is really good news about your sis <3 <3 <3

Had a busy day went out to lunch with some of my Mums cousins that I keep in touch with.
I was nearly on the BBC news the place was crowded with Scottish/Welsh fans in Glasgow for tonights match and a film crew came in to interview them.
We were at a table beside the fans they interviewed but they moved them to the middle of the pub so I'm afraid I didn't get on camera thank goodness ;-)

I gave the cousins some old pictures that I had copied for them 2 of them didn't have any pics of their maternal gran and I have a few so they were pleased.

I also copied documents I had on their Grandad that was sent to Canada by the orphanage including copies of an extract about his voyage from here to Canada.

When I got home I babysat the GD's cos DIL was going out so was on duty till my son got home.

Just to finish the night off got a call about an hour ago DIL was stuck in the snow and couldn't get a hold of my son . Her Dad went to get her and I got a hold of my son.

I am now going to bed as my other son has just made it home from the studio.

Blasted snow :-(

Wowwww !!!!

Just came back on here and no error messages !!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time in I don't know how long !! -Must be an improvement ;-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

And now a bus has broken down outside.........only just realised. I think the passengers have been picked up by another bus cos there's no one on it now....

Thank you both <3

Yes Jonesey, Liverpool is the capital of Ireland in England...huh??????

What an absolutely horrible, horrible day!!!

From where I sit I can see the snow swirling wildly in the wind. The traffic is crawling past in both directions. The wind is bitterly cold.

I am so thankful to be in the warm with my cosy bedsocks and dressing gown on.

We managed to go out at lunchtime and there was hardly any snow a couple of miles away from us.... :-S

Brother and sister-in-law arrived but a fairly short visit as they are on their way to Cumbria - I thought they were going home........ :-S



Gins, really pleased about your sister <3 <3 <3


Yes Jonesey, Liverpool is the capital of Ireland in England. :-D :-D :-D

I forgive you already Ginns ;-)

Such good news about your sister <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Dea

Forgive me, Im not going there!


The snow is BAD, it wasn't too bad earlier, I went out to get milk and fags, the Audi was a dream to drive, compared to it's predecessor

Just spoke to sis on the phone, good news, her scan results show it hasnt spread any further and she is having chemo on Monday....she may live longer than first thought



:-D

I quite agree Jonesey, in every respect !!

Thanks,

Dea Xxx :-D

Dea,

That looks a messy thread and to me it looks as if the tree he appears in is planted in sand rather than firm ground.

If anything it would appear to me as the James Bowman you have identified with is the most likely candidate based upon occupation as much as anything. The fact that he was making for Cork gives me the feeling that he was Irish in origin.

The area that the one who married 3 times seemed to be based in was Birkenhead which of course is known to have a few Irish people living there. Did they not used to describe Liverpool as the mainland capital of Ireland?
