Hi All I dont think anyone could imagine living in those days, my ancestors were no different either, Mums side seem to have been a bit middle class, where dads side were the poor side and you can see this in one of mums wedding photos. My Dads side the Harrisons were poor coal miners and had between 7 and 15 kids, and most of them lived, I dont seem to have a lot of child deaths in my families, I do know that they all lived in Coal miners cottages and when a son turned 14 were made to go down the mine as that was one of the conditions of living in the cottages, although the youngest miner in my family is aged 9 years, would be unheard of in this day and age. I often wonder what Christmas they had as they couldnt have had much money. Sad really. Regards Yvonne |

This is one of the threads that have caused Dee to leave. My name (and that of others) appear beside her posts. She has asked me to nudge it. |

Yes, I've noticed at least one of Dee's messages has my name against it. Not that I mind, but it's hardly fair on the original poster if their hard work and good efforts are 'given' to others. |

Well I think GR should apologise to Dee for putting my name as the poster of this thread. |

I have just emailed GR about this thread being posted in my name and I have also asked them to apoplogise to Dee on the general board for the cock up they have made of Dee's threads. |
