Evening All
Just a quickie again,just to touch base :-D.Janice ,Fitz and Me have had the afternoon sat in the garden.I can't begin to tell you all we talked and laughed about.They must have heard us right down the bottom of the road lolol.
I have also had Meg (the dog) to look after today.She was as good as gold :-D
Off to sort dinner now.

Sounds like you had a great time Jane.

Please give Janice my love and hope that leg eases soon.

Well now I can't find a Horace Bedford with a father Christopher on the census.

Can any of you girls??

Well i've been hunting too Mel ,i carn't find any thing .

There is a tree on Ances*ry with Horace married to Sarah Rachel Drew ,they have his father as Edward William Bedford, mother Ann Hessell ??

I wish I had a microphone here ......Janice is snoring her blooming head off.....and we haven't even eaten yet :-S :-S.She is stretched out on one of the settees.Chester looked a bit confused and put his 2 front paws up on the seat and sniffed her face.She didn't even flinch lol..She is doing the blowy out lip thing :-D :-D
Her leg is a great deal better .No stick needed ,but it does still give her a lot of gyp :-S
I better wake her up now as dinner is ready :-D :-D

Just popping in to see progress after shopping with OH. I'm watching telly tonight then, Downton, recorded from last night.

I seem to think I saw that tree today as well Mandy. Is that the one where Edward Wilson Bedford is Edward William Bedford's father? I thought then that the Wilson in the name must be connected to Frank's tree. Frank has an Anna Hassell in his tree too but married to someone else? No time to check just now.

Yes. I wondered if you would spot the 'GENTLEMAN' Frank. :-D lol.

I will have another look tomorrow if OH isn't doing his notes.........night, night for now.

I have been looking at htat tree too.
