Find Ancestors

Oooh..now I am going out (after me cuppa) to buy some cards!

I am a genius :-D :-D :-D :-D


Been wondering for weeks what to buy JB for Christmas and I had a moment of pure genius, this morning

As you know he lost his wedding ring a few weeks ago.....so, this morning, I hunted out two old rings, one mine and the other his.

Went accross the city to jeweller where we bought our wedding rings. I Had a long chat and the outcome...

..............he is going to melt the rings together and make a wedding for JB! I have told him how I want it, so it will be unique. Would have been cheaper to buy one off the shelf, but I wanted it to be special

Im sat here, like a cheshire cat!

Cynthia I hope your contact does keep their promise to send you the photos.

Gins it is nice to put a face to some of the names and to pick out the family resemblances.

Off to visit M-I-L

I admit defeat :-(


No matter what I do, I cant change my avatar. Had a reply from GR, he gave me his email address to send him the avatars that wont load......email bounced back :-| :-| :-|


You'll have to put up with me legs for Christmas

Good morning all :-)

Just a nice big bacon buttie for me Cynths - thank you <3 <3 <3

It sounds like an awful lot of effort to get you both to that 10am service on Christmas day Cynthia but I know it is worth it to you :-)

Not long to go now - I wrapped LOTS of prezzies over the wekend but they are all in the front bedroom and grandson will be here this afternoon so I have to find somewhere to hide them all before then or he will be ripping all the paper off :-D :-D

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Bubble & squeak???? :-D




It must be lovely to have photos of the ancestors that we have spent so long researching

That's great Linds........you will really treasure those pictures.

I've been in touch with some of my contacts on here re photographs of one particular branch of the family about whom I know little. One has promised to scan some and send them to me, so I'm really looking forward to that..


Anyway, Good morning all. :-D


Donning apron and rooting for pans.........


Putting kettle on and plugging in the toaster.....


Checking fridge contents for bacon etc.,


Opening cupboards to get the cereals out


Pouring milk into jugs


Spooning coffee into pots


Slicing bread for toast


Cracking eggs for frying


Warming croissants


Stirring porridge


Okay? let's begin cooking............................ :-D

My Dads sister sent me some photos of my GG's they go back to 1890 .Have one of my GGran when she was 18.

Also one of her in uniform holding one of her granchildren who was a new baby she was a midwife and had 10 children.

I am now lucky enough to have photos of 7 of my GGparents no one can remember ever seeing a photo of the missing GG :-(

My Aunt got the photos ages ago from her sister in Canada (now deceased) and she never knew her Grandparents names (?) I was able to tell her their names their siblings names and their DOB and DOM and the date they died.

MY GGrandad looks like one of my Dads brothers :-)

I've deleted one Gins. Must have been caused by the hiccups cos my day has been a bit like that... :-D



Was a bit stressed this morning because I had forgotten to set the alarm on my phone and we need to get up at 6.45 so that OH's meds fit in with him being able to go you know where for 11 am.


Didn't get up till 7 am so that meant we were 15 mins behind time and those 15 mins really matter. We only just made it cos of the delay. At 10 oclock he couldn't even lift his razor to have a shave. By 10.15 he finished getting ready and by 10.30 we were in the car.....................huge sigh of relief all round..... :-D


On Christmas Day we will have to get up 5.45 to get to the special 10am service................sheeeeeesh......zzzzzzzzz no rest for the wicked ;-)


Think I may take meself orf to bed now.........too much excitement for one day

Night night all..........xx

Oh dear...repeating yourself Cyn

Have a lovely time at the party Linds - sounds like had fun and knew just when to leave!!!


Settled down to browse around and then had a visitor........so only just back.

Tis certainly a bit quiet.

Never mind, we'll no doubt make up for it during the week.

Wonder how our Sylvs is getting on??

Dea sounds like everyone had fun :-D

Grandchildren got home and grandaughter put her barbies in the car to go to grandson's room to view the rock concert that they both performed !!

We left quietly and left them all to it :-D

Dea Xxx

I think I must have Ginns :-D :-D :-D

Nite nite,

Dea Xxx

How many times have you gone to see Santa?

......do you have a crush

I have been with Santa Linds :-D

I have to say, he must have been working VERY hard because he seems to have lost at least 2 stone since I saw him only last week !! - His large tummy was looking quite slim ;-)

Goodnes knows what he will look like by the time Christmas is over :-D

Hope your M-I-L has a lovely 85th birthday !! <3

Dea Xxx

Hi everyone,

Been busy and tomorrow is mu M-I-L's 85th birthday so we are going to visit.

Hope to get my tree up in the next couple of days and the outside lights are (hopefully) getting done tomorrow :-D

Where is everyone?

OMG.......I have just seen breakfast from Jonesey!

............poor lamb, he must have been starving

Well, well, Jonesey - that was very sporting of you. We are most grateful for your efforts.........they were excellent. Please, call again soon...... :-D :-D



Have just sat down............... It was the nativity play this morning......angels in boots are quite cute :-D


Going for a browse round.


Hope Dea has some ear plugs for when her grandson gets hold of his rock guitar..... :-S

It's all very quiet here today !!!

I am off out soon to see Santa AGAIN !!

Taking grandchildren to the Christmas Party at the Golf Club and he will be there too :-D

I would have thought he would be a bit busy wrapping all the presents to be going to all these parties ;-)

Grandson is goind to be 'beside himself' when he opens his present and sees that he has a 'rock guitar' which he' SO wants' (according to him) !

Hope grand-daughter likes her Barbie Car present too :-)

See you all later.
