I went to the Pickering family history fair
To find nearly everybody their was related in some way to me
and a very kind gentleman asked for my email Addy
Whoo hoo what came through yesterday
was beyond my wildest dreams a file well over 500 pages
all connected to my grandmothers side
There's births deaths marriages wills military records
positions of their graves and numbers all the census land registers and hearth tax's

and in total maybe 10,000 peoples details on the Strickland's and their descendants

i feel blessed :-D :-D

how lucky are you - wonderful :-)

Oh how wonderful Joy! What a great breakthrough! All I have found this week *blush blush is that my G G Grandfather was found on several occasions, to be 'drunk and disorderly and behaving in a riotous manner' in a public street'. Frankly I think he was just having a good time and probably singing..yess wellll.... :-D :-D :-D <3

Joy how wonderful, and how lovely of that gentleman to share with you.

BC My Grt Grandfather must have been a friend of your Gt Gt. He too was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. Couldn't believe that when I read it, he was the head of the most pious Baptist church attending part of my family tree.

BC that's just how all my family behave pmsl
except me as i don't need a drink to behave like that it come natural pmsl

BC,,same strain of the blood,its in us both.)))))

mine was in jail in 1881 for enjoying himself, he was having a little private street shindig and bothering no one,
