Send me the recipe of the concoction when you find it please!!!!!!!

You try that and I will try and find a drink that helps the long term memory lol!

Do you think a large glass of wine would improve my short term memory? pmsl

Lol its always the important things we forget ha ha

Oh dear, i'm getting worried now, remembered that story but cant remember where i put my spare pair of glasses yesterday...................x

Ha Ha I thought I heard it before and as I started reading i remembered it.
You have a better memory than me lol

Hi Thorney,
We were taught the story of them at confirmation classes,they refused to worship a gold statue the king had built, king ordered them to be burned, but they walked out unscathed, the Lord was protecting them.
Cant believe i've remembered that story from all those years ago.......lol

Hi Georgygirl
I looked up the name's and Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego and its a bible story often referred to as the 3 young men

Just found a Susannah, does that count Sue? and 28 Thomas's (all with the same surname)
2 sets of Evans, 2 sets of Pritchards, not related.
Unusual christian names-Shadrach, Meshach,( Brothers) and Maureen Bega, i'm told Bega is the name of an Irish nun.
The one thing that has helped is, when the mothers maiden name was used as a second name for the children.
that did make them much easier to find.

when they name two sons one after the other as James and both are still living makes it difficult. they must have run out of names by them one was James Herbert and the other James Joseph . can only presume on a day to day basis they were called by their second names.
When I first came across them on the 1881 census on family search site i thought it was an error .this was in my early days of research and i wasnt sure what i was doing!!!

James named after his dad and his surname was James.
William and Thomas are quite common in my tree.
Im having problems with surname's I have 2 sets of Powell's and Thorne's.
Unusual names I have come across are Abednego,Shadrach and Absalom .

Hello, is it me your looking for?
Susan

I was nearly called Susan after the pig my parents had when they first got married!
We had a puppy called Susan when I was small as the pig was long gone!

I have a string of Williams and James and one of those married a Mary Ann and another an Ann and they had children called Mary and Ann lol Luckily our surname is not over common so it helps a bit.

Only special people have SUSANs in their tree......sleep well.....May all the Williams' in the world invade your dreams ,,,,,,,,:-)))))))))

OMG!!! i've just found some Williams in my tree, but not a Susan PHEW!!!!!
Off to bed now before i get my head battered in.
Nite-Nite

Eh!

I agree:-))
