	No Tracey - not flattery - a well deserved statement of fact. You usually seem to find what is asked for fast. You type faster than me too - or is that my wretched broadband speed which is today a fantastic 0.288Mbps!

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	i've been away for ages too.... broke my foot, had a busy couple of months at work etc, you know how reality gets in the way! I'm here for most of the evening plodding about doing as anyone wishes... Tracey xx

	I have looked at the image where Stephen Johnson would be for the 1910 marriage and he is not there. As the year is supposed to be fully transcribed it is possible that he is missing from the images but it could be anyone that is missing. thought I hadn't seen you around for a while Tracey hope things get better soon

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 7,446 Send Message	Dea, I had found the same... was just having dinner and was going to post afterwards.... I don't need to now! Yeah Ann, i'm going to be back and forth for a while as the summer gets here and the music scene gets busy, we have loads of concerts to sort out and gigs to work, life is getting very complicated currently. I'm trying to rest my foot before the next big thing which will be the Download Festival. So tonight will be a good old time Vodka & Coke night with GR to keep me company! Tracey xx
