Find Ancestors

Good morning all !

Late breakfast today as I seem to have had a little lie in :-)

I see someone has eaten all the 'Ulster Fry-up's but not to worry, I will have Huevos Rancheros - Thank you Sylvia <3

Oooh Sylvs, just noticed your weight loss, wow....well done :-D

Im sitting at 1.5st loss at the moment but have been back onto the campaign this week. Size 12s are sitting very nicely but I cant get into a 10 without looking like a sack of spuds, tied in the middle :-0

Thanks Sylvs......that cheese and tomato pie does seem very tempting.


OH doesn't take sugar in either tea or coffee and I think he will find it relatively easy to manage a life without too much sugar. We rarely eat dessert and have cut back on biscuits, cakes etc. His downfall was probably fruit and nut bars!!!


Gins........I wish size 12s would sit nicely on me.... :-(


In fact, I'd be pleased if size 16's sat somewhere close by :-(


Fortunately, my height carries me through.... ;-)

Not to worry Cyns, by the time I get to your age, I might be the same size as you ;-)

Sylvia and Gins well done on your weight loss.

Sun is out today hope it lasts :-)

:-) :-) :-)

Sun????????


Whats that, does it hide behind the rain and clouds :-( :-(

You cheeky wotsit Gins........... :-P


At least I've still got all me own teefs!!!!



Hovering around now as daughter is not very well and doesn't know if she wants to go anywhere. OH and I are off to look for a new number plate for the house. The old one has fallen orf!

Aww.....so everything at your end is falling apart ;-)

Never mind, you got me!

Oh just found Fred looking lost on page three :-(

Am hopefully having a lazy night watching tv and sitting on me bum!!

Can't face doing any more on the FT paperwork need to find a system that is easier than the one I was trying :-|

I think I have just arrived at the solution Linds!

I have thousands of printed out pages and many many notebooks of notes - I have decided to shred the lot !!

My skills and the resources available nowadays are far better so I reckon it would take me weeks and weeks and MONTHS and YEARS to go through all those and find anything useful so I am far better starting again !!!

I know it is the right thing to do but I just need to bring myself to actually do it !!!

That won't work for me :-(
I was so interested in finding the next rellie that I just kept going and didnt even do a "pen and paper" chart to record where they all fitted :-(

Then when OH was ill everything just got "lumped" together and now it is all mixed up :-(

The only good thing is that it all relates to one Grandfather's line
:-)

That also happened to me when I got ill too Linds !!!

TOO much to sort through - I really think I will have to bin it all and start again !!

Can anyone tell me please?

Google says that divorce records are on Ancestry .co.uk but I can't see them anywhere ?????

Any help please?

Dea,

I know that there are some American divorce records on Ancestry but I do not think there are any relating to divorces in the UK.

I find the simplest way to find obscure records on Ancestry is simple to go to the "Caed Catalogue" on the home page and enter the key word E.G. Divorce.

Thank you Jonesey!

It was not really important but I was doing a look up today for a divorce and went to google - It gave me divorce records on Ancestry.co.uk available up to about 2005 ??

I couldn't find them though !! ;-)

Flippin eck....jumped in the car, shot to the coop for some fags and now I feel like a block of ice


.......its buddy freezin out there :-0

I agree. It is a bit nippy round ones nether regions tonight. I put our central heating on at about 8:30.

I'm okay but OH is feeling the cold.........August.....would you believe it??? :-(



Haven't sorted out the door number yet but did buy a nice pot for outside the front door. :-D




I have a separate file for each surname in my family history. I can add or improve as I go along. I would really like to make flesh them out more and make them into more interesting reading if you know what I mean.


See you tomorrow.......~~~~~~~~

I too have put the heating on its buddy cold :-(

Have been looking through all my "stuff" and found a PM from rootgatherer who explained what system they use to file all paperwork. Its really good and I wish I had thought to check my old messages before I wasted time yesterday.

Basically uses a card index system (one card for each person) then file everything using the cert ref no and on each persons card record every relevant cert and x ref spouses.

so everything is filed numerically.

Dea will send you a PM
