Julie I might just do that if she carries on. Joy

Nice one Zoe, Joy, ignore her, let her think what she likes, if she brings the subject up say 'yes ok', then talk about something else. You have all the details, it is her loss and not worth getting stressed over. you wont win because that is how she is so don't try. Ann Glos

Joy sorry for sticking me nose in why don't you tell her to either back it up, or shut it up julie

Joy well - as I once wrote one article for YFT mag tell her you consulted an expert that writes for the genealogy press and I came up with the same conclusion LOL off to lunch now tutty bye Z xx

Exactly what I have. OH's Cousin just can't get her head off this flipping Irish thing and has called me some rather nasty names cos she thinks she's right. Joy

Joy I'm with you. In 1891 William is with father Henry in same area of Leicester. Only thing would put me off is he's a general labourer and not in shoes - but then who's to say he wasnt a labourer at a shoe factory. And Williams older sister is working in shoes anyway. Z

I won't argue with you Joy, I wouldn't dare. Lol

And that's the Marriage. Have had virtual screaming matches with OH's Cousin insisting I cannot be right. But she has not got any Certificates or other stuff to prove her point. Insists I have the wron William Farren born 1904 in Leicester. Joy

Yep that's them. They go on to have a son William in 1904. I have his Birth Certificate. OH's Cousin is insisting that William (born c1879) is not her Great-Grandfather as she has always been told he was born in Ireland. I have William's (1904) Marriage Certificate and Death Certifcate as well and the details match up on Marriage Certificate. Joy

and I'd go wit this being the marriage: Cousins, Eva 1900 June Marriages Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire Farren, William 1900 June Marriages Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire and this being Eva in 1891: Cowins, Eva abt 1882 Belgrave, Leicestershire, England Daughter Belgrave Leicestershire esp. as her father Henry is a shoe finisher too

this one?? William Farren abt 1879 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Head Leicester formerly St Margaret Leicestershire Eva Farren abt 1881 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Wife Leicester formerly St Margaret Leicestershire Eva A Farren abt 1896 Leicester, Leicestershire, England Daughter Leicester formerly St Margaret Leicestershire

JOy just trying to match them up on ancestry Z xx

Joy, I'll believe ya this time! LOL I think it is a little furry thing called Holly that destroys my wallpaper! Julie xxx

Julie It wasn't me. Must have been that invisible man that lives at my house. Things get broke or ruined but no-one in the house does it. Joy

Zoe Have any of that lot got a wife named Eva? Joy

Wouldn't dare Joy, you've had too much practice today!! Ann Glos

UMMM ER ohh JOY no thamks,,i was quite happy with the sunshine; don't like argueing anyway...i always loose

Re: the wallpaper I have the same problem in the dining room so was it you? It seems a bit suss to me that you have ruined wallpaper in your living room cos I don't know anyone else with this problem!!!!!!!!! So own up! Julie xxx

Zoe You could try looking for a William Farren married to an Eva living in Leicester in the 1901 Census and working as a Shoe Laster. If you can find any more than the one I've got then I'd be amazed. Joy
