The Common Room / Re: Finding a photo of a "terrible man"

Strange.  Maybe I am lucky in having no known nasties in my tree.  But I can't imagine feeling detestation for anyone enough to make me want to erase that person from history.  T
A lot depends on how far back in history they are, and whether one personally knows the victims or not.

Shropshire / Can't locate this marriage on BMD
« on: Saturday 06 December 25 17:26 GMT (UK)  »
Ancestry shows some details of an Edward Jones/Jane Hughes marriage in Oswestry in1867, with the following references:

FHL Film Number   1702156   Reference ID   item 476 p 94 Morton

I can't see this marriage on FreeBMD and I don't know what the above references mean. Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike


Skip that request! I see I asked the question 12 years ago and received an answer.

Well done again! You're on a roll.

Absolutely amazing! And to think it was moved brick by brick from its original home in North Wales.

MIKE,
I am naive in this area, after a brief search at Wikipedia, I find substantial 'grey areas' in the various legal definitions in relation to the Child/Adult boundaries.
As it should be. We don't suddenly become adult overnight

For those of you with sharper minds and who can cope with definitional contradictions,
do I have to be an ADULT to be an ADULTERER?
If so, what is the definition of an ADULT in our United Kingdom please?
There isn't one single definition of when a child becomes an adult, but I suppose you already know that.

Andrew C, that sounds sense. Someone in the checkout queue behind me one day said something, and I found myself immediately asking "What part of Canada do you come from?" and she was so delighted at not being taken for an American that we started chatting - and found she had relatives that came from the same area (Cumberland as was) that my ancestry came from!
Tiny world, indeed.
TY
I was once told that it is very difficult to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian, but the quickest way was to tell that to a Canadian.

The blanket prescribing of Statins has been quoted as a cause of Dementia and Alzheimers’ .


Just the opposite. Research shows that statins reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by about 30% and vascular dementia by about 7%.
