Sheila,I missed your post last night .I hope your leg is feeling more comfortable today.It sounds very painful.

Or Bronco rolls which we had. Very shiny one side and like greaseproof paper the other!

It is ever so cold here and we have had another sleety snow shower but nothing that has settled at all.

The garden birds are really hungry today too.

OH has uploaded some CD's,so I can now listen to music while I type!!!
Need some help Guys!! I have a rellie (?!!) one Arthur Maxwell Lane who was born in Long Ashton, in 1906/7 parents Arthur Lane 1882-1953 and Ethel Richards 1883 -? I'm trying to find out when Arthur M married and to whom. I have two contestants: either Blanche E Keen at Stow-on-theWold in 1933 OR Margaret J Coppin at Lambeth in Dec 1938. Thing is neither of these marriages give a middle name, just Arthur M, so can't tell which is which!!! I would ask on Genes, but I haven't kept the thread, which as we all know makes them SO ratty you don't like to ask!!! Any ideas?Just wondered?! Yes Mel, Jane Restall was Arthur M's Gt Grandmother!!!!!!! don't let that put you off!!!

Mel I liked Larkrise,but I did find it a bit slow and quiet.I felt like they all needed a boot up the backside to put some life into them all lol.
I will watch it though.

Good tracing paper that old loo paper though wasn't it .That was the only good thing about it.

Is that Long Ashton ,Bristol Liz? I can't help you out ,but I lived in Nailsea for 3 years not far from Long Ashton.

Cor its cold out there now ,just back from walking Toby and i feel as if i have a drip on the end of my nose its so cold lol

Yes toilet paper made good tracing paper ,and it was like heaven when we got the soft stuff .

We got a nice piece of Pork Lion for tonight ,now put it in the oven and it's smelling good.

Yes Jane that's the place! blooming elusive people they've turned out to be! Mel's the expert on them!!! trouble is that 'Lane' is such 'common' name that it's easy to get the wrong ones!!! If Arthur has to stay a mystery so be it, A year ago I didn't even know that he existed, never mind who he married!!! Millie hassling for her dinner!!!

Mel, thank you SO much you are clever and kind. I should think that the 1938 marriage at Lambeth is him bearing in mind where he lived. I can now add his death to my tree!!

Well Liz do that as I can still see your tree.

Thanks Liz.

Shall I put up a TTF for Jane Restall again and see what we get????

16.46pm.

Nearly dark am going to shut the chickens in.

Well!! If you feel you can bear it, might bring up something interesting! Not if you can't face it though!!! I think this woman has turned into a 'nemesis' for both of us!!!

I'll give it a go!!

16.58

You're a Saint!!!

I have made a b*lls up!!!!!! I went and put it on the TTF boards and put John's year of birth instead of Jane's. One person answered but nothing since. Also when you go back from the TTF board you get Janey's replies about the time you put the thread up. I think it is putting people off from helping as she was quite harsh to a beginer!

Cooking dinner now so have to stop .

You do make me laugh, that wretched woman!!!! When I first asked for help I didn't realise that you were supposed to hang onto the threads. I used to copy the answers into an exercise book for future reference and delete the thread,until I got well told off, (as I'm sure you remember!) and I haven't asked for any help since!! I don't think any of us do things to be deliberately annoying, it's always, well 9 times out of 10, just a misunderstanding, which, if you're helper surely up to a point, you have to expect annoying though it might be, and surely you can tell people without being rude and unpleasant to the point where it puts people off asking any more! Oh well! everyone is different I suppose! At least we know when Arthur died!!

Liz take a look it's happening now.

Mel, have p.m'd you. Liz
