General Chat

A little while ago I went into my bedroom to draw the curtains and looked out of the window. it was feet deep in water all the cars were standing in what looked like a lake. I didnt even hear it raining I was shocked.
good job I didnt take off from the car park on my broom stick it would have been a broom boat.

I have suffered this evening with heartburn I have no idea why. I dont get this very often but tonight it is bad. so I will get some milk and try that.

what a load of rubbish on TV this evening, I sat and did some of my take a break crossword book..

Love
Rita

As my sister has to go back to her teaching job on Monday I think she may need to go into respite.

Well I'll keep you up to date as I hear things.

Pauline that looks as if that could be James wife.because the family lived in that area. after they moved from Aylesbury.

when James father died the family were living at Hampstead and Great Grandfather was a foreman on the roads.
I think Great Grandfather died in 1868 he 54 years old then. but Great Grandmother Margaret stayed in Hampstead.


Rita

Oh, I thought you said he was born in Perthshire, I've been looking in the wrong place..........LOL

Sorry

James McCallum was born in Dingwall Ross and Cromarty Scotland in 1841.his parents were James McCallum, and Margaret Graham,, They moved from Dingwall in 1842 leaving one daughter Janet behind with James Mother.

They moved to Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.. first..I think James worked at London Zoo for a few months(this is the father )

Their son James born in 1841 joined the Royal Navy. I found him in 1861 on board a ship "Excellent" the ship was in Portsmouth Harbour.and it gives his birth place Dingwall Ross and Cromarty Scotland. I could not find him after that till smeone in the Hot Matches who is related said he got married in June 1871 in Hampstead. Middlesex. to a Martha Fuller. his name was mis spelt and it was spelt as McCallu rn. and not McCallum

Thats all I know about James. I thought he must have died at sea till this information came.

Rita

I'll be opening a bottle as well Maddie.

Marilyn, I think this might be Martha Fuller...

Edit: Deleted info of Rita's ancestors.

Evening Ladies and Gent.

Just in from work. Gonna have something to eat, and relax for a while. Will be back later.

If my typing goes a bit haywire later on it is because I intend to open a bottle.

I deserve it.

Laters.

Rita .....Where are you ?????


Questions to be asked........when was Martha Fuller born & where ?


I cant find your James either.......

Rita, is this him in Perthshire?

Edit: Deleted the info of Rita's ancestors.

I need help. I am trying to find census for James McCallum born 1841 in Pertshire Scotland he appears to have married a Martha Fuller in Hampstead June 1871. I think they mis-spetl his name McCallurn on the wedding one.
But I cannot find any of the census for him I have looked on Ancestry all I get is the Scotlands ones the few England ones are few and far between. where am I going wrong ?

I dont bother to buy the sweets now as they never call here for sweets and I made myself sick once because I ate the lot of sweets I brought.for the children.
I had an email f rom my sister, she told ne she had thought about making a apple brownie and she coooked it and it looked lovely she tasted it and found she had put salt in not the sugar. she said she felt sick.
I sat here laughing as it the sort of thing she never does. I do things like that but not my sister. so she made another batch and they were fine.
I said you must have . had a spell put on you from the witches.
