Welcome to Rootshcat.
Rootschatters are a helpful bunch and are willing to help with advice.
I hope that you are not relying on the dna kit to answer your questions. The paper trail is important as it gives you names and dates etc.
Good luck with your search.
Jackie
PS I took a dna test to see if it could help with some brickwalls - it didn't; so I got my children to do one, but the brickwalls are still standing.

Sent mine off yesterday.
You would not call my day exciting but they are interested in what people did on a certain day; doesn't matter if we consider it boring.

I have started to make my notes for today; making a rough timeline and notes as the day happens. Then I will work from that to prepare my diary for the day, not forgetting the copyright clause.

Less than a week to go.
I start to think about what I will include in this year's submission about this time - references to past and future events which are relevant.

The Lighter Side / Mass Observation Day 2026

I would like to know just where time goes. Seems like Easter was yesterday, and Christmas a month before that!
Back to the subject.
Mass Observation Day is Monday 12 May and it is not a chore to keep a diary for that day. By submitting it to the relevant address, it would help build up a picture of everyday lives.
So, flex those fingers in readiness.

Thank you for that. I am not into ebay, so will have to let that one go.
Yes, they were the reports that I found but I shall keep looking. You never know, something might turn up.

A long shot but here goes.
I am interested in the above as my great uncle was a violin player in the orchestra in the 1920's.
I did find a couple of newspaper articles in findmypast but wondered if there were any other sources I could look at.
A quote from one of the articles is that the people involved were working in the Rubber Exchange and the London Commercial Sale Rooms.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Fursse 1891 look up please
« on: Tuesday 25 February 25 01:58 GMT (UK)  »
Just wanted to add a note to this thread.
Am also interested in the Fursse family but I have Eliza Fursse b1886 as marrying Frederick W Eames in 1917.
Elizabeth married James G Flight.
I have looked up the 1921 census for these couples and it confirms this.
