Hi
Really pleased to tell you that you've got completely wrong end of stick and not to worry or perhaps not to over react. Fully recognise you folks are locked in here doing great things for the many and in mostly thankless surroundings. Certainly not something that would appeal to me.
That was a classic moment of casting ones arms in the air and calling upon higher things to fix what shouldn't be such a blank for an event in the modern era.
Of course lots of advice has come in - I did stress focus is her death location in BMDs or similar simply because I have covered all angles folk have otherwise painstakingly related back to me and which risks others adding and thus it flies off wider or wrong.
Anyway. I did mark this answered as clearly (given absence of an answer) no-one could find her in BMDs under a clever spell change or similar.
Many thanks and keep up the good work

err
DevonJon
you've done it again
Hopefully out of plain ignorance!
"Fully recognise you folks are locked in here doing great things for the many and in mostly thankless surroundings"
we are most certainly NOT locked in here
and we are most certainly NOT in mostly thankless surroundings
UNLESS that is you consider a house worth the equivalent of close to half-a-million pounds in one of the most beautiful cities in the world is "thankless surroundings" :-D
FYI ................ the people who help on these boards are members just like yourself, but with probably a little more experience, and certainly more knowledge of and access to other sites than most people who ask questions.
In no way, shape or form are we paid employees of GR ..................... GR does not employ any people who answer questions on looking for ancestors, apart from their Resident Geneologist Anthony Adolph, who has web chats at intervals.
We who help do so because we love this hobby, and love to pass on information to others, hopefully, they then learn enough to begin to know all the little sites to uncover ancestors.
and, also FYI
........... helpers will often post censuses or other information that the questioner says snootily "I already have", not to prove how good they are ............. but because we also need to get our heads around your family. You know everything about them, you've lived and breathed them as you try ot sort them out. We come to it cold. We need to get that "feel" that cna make all the difference in searching.
So, we are spending our own time, freely, sitting in comfortable surroundings in our own homes, spending our own money, to help others because we LIKE TO DO IT.
although sometimes I do begin to wonder WHY!
