Caz xxxxxx

So K Caz...I've gone off him now....you can borrow him if you like :-)

Better keep on the right side of you then!!!!

I just wish I could find somebody halfway interesting in my tree.

Morning Ann,

I can't remember now.....but were all yours actually from Glos....and didn't you have someone famous in your tree?

I am sure if we all keep digging we can find more details as time passes. The trouble with mine is that the spellings, especially as one goes further back, are prolific, as are the amount of children they had.....and a lot of them the same names too....takes soooo much concentration cross referencing......finding the mass murderer was just by chance......Hmmmm wonder if I can trace his tree back to someone else in England

Funny how no-one minds a villain in their tree as long as it was a long time ago.....wouldn't want one that was more recent....can just see the headlines...and oh, the shame lol

cccooooorrrr.....I hope my pms were nice ....


enough!!! lol

Hi Susan,

know what you mean there was money in my family to lots of it someones had it but who i ask myself
my fathers niece told me
my mom use to say the same to Mmmm i ask myself shall i delve to find it

No i say to myself , greedy ancestors already spent it or cheated us
my saying is what you never had you never miss

I have all the wealth i need no begging letters please cant share it my children and grandchildren


Joan G

Hi Susan, No none of mine are from Gloucestershire, OH has a few though. Mine are from Staffs, Derbyshire, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey.

The only one who is halfway interesting really is my Gt Gt grandfather who absconded to France, but I can't find anything about why he did that, or where he went in France, after he went I have lost him completely, don't think he ever came back, or his wife who followed him.

Not sure I would go along with that Joan.....when at first I found out we had wealthy anscestors and were then disinherited.....twas like winning the lottery then losing the ticket lol.....

my real thoughts though are with the poverty and hopelessness of the next generation and some of the children dying in awful circumstances.....Yes I know that the vast majority of people had it tough in those days....but heartless if the family were wealthy, and no need......still won't get morbid....twas a long time ago :-)

Ann what year would that have been, have you looked for shipping lists etc?

I think we should have a sticky thread called a brick wall then we could all look for each others hard to finds.:-))))) ( mind you...I expect there is already one on tips &co

Wanders onto thread...sees content....and creeps out again....quickly!

Hi Susan, he absconded and the family went to France in about 1842, my Gt Grandfather was born in France in 1844, by 1851 the children are all back in Derbyshire but no parents anywhere. Haven't checked shipping lists, would they have them for the continent?
