Bridget - hah!! well I suppose we're ALL related in some way!

My reason for wanting to visit Alderbury in Wilts, is that I found 2 London rellies, a married couple, there as visitors in the 1861 census. Since their children were still in London staying with grandma, I knew there must be a story lurking.
Having now unravelled the mystery, and discovered an extra couple of 'new' dead rellies into the bargain, I'd really like to visit Alderbury, especially as the school house, which features strongly in my story, is still there.

Karen, I thought that I was the only one whose husband says " Bridget is talking to dead people again" They are not related are they?????

my grandfathers family all came from Mere in Wilts, he was the first one to be born in London


Bridget :-)

Some good ones :-)

supercrutch I like that one. :-D

Any more?

Oh what a laugh I've had reading this thread - its all SO very true!!!!

Whenever I'm on the computer hubby says "talking to your dead people again"? Tee hee , I think he thinks I e.mail them or something. Sad thing is, I would if I thought they'd answer me!!!!

Just the other day, I said to hubby - "the next time we're home (UK) d'you think we'll have the time to pop down to Wiltshire for the day, there's a village I'd like to see".
Hubby's response - "Bet this has something to do with dead people. OK then, as long as there's a pub".

Very good!!

I won't tell you where i spent the day yesterday...........but apart from me and two others, everyone else was dead. ;-)

You forgot to add:

When you start a sentence with: You know your Aunt Fanny? Your OH's eyes glaze over :-P

LOL - don't think I'm quite as bad as that, but I could add another one

OH gets suspicious whenever you suggest a UK break. What graveyards are going to drag him to now? :-D
