I have just been back onto the gorringe side of my tree (iv been neglecting it for a while), I think you are the very helpful lady who I spoke to in February regarding the gorringe/muckelles drama, I am from the gorringe/muckelles line, then from there down from each of the Thomas gorringes. I have found a lot of Gorringes in Kent etc and I have always wondered if there will be a link, and there is :). I am wondering, do you have any pictures of any gorringes? x

Hi again. Yes indeed, I think we have been in touch via Ancestry and If I am correct I have access to your tree and visa versa. Though I cannot recall which tree is yours as I have a share of a few. The only pictures I have of the Gorringes are on the other post you posted on yesterday, of my grandfather b 1895 George Edward and his grandfather George b 1843. But I do have is wedding photograph , boxing day 1921. Of course there is a photo of my mum who is my icon for this board. Yes they did stem from Kent and Sussex too, earlier on. Nice to chat again. PM me if you need to.

im not sure if anyone comes back to this thread, naughty George Gorringe (as I call him haha) was my 3rd great grandfather...it is brilliant to read peoples thoughts on it all, and to read it all I will have to get a strong cup of coffee to make sense of it :) my granddad Tommy gorringe is still alive and we live in the Bolton/wigan area x

I am the original OP and dastardly George was my 2nd gt grandfather. As he was your 3rd, I am assuming your 3 x gt Grandmother was Sarah Douglas.

So long ago that I posted this, but thankfully any reply posted, and I get an E mail. I would love to share my tree with you and discuss George. I found Margaret Janes death BTW. She did indeed marry a John Collinge in 1913 and she died in 1920. Though I have never found her in 1911. I have done a lot more to my tree in the 6 + years and have gone back a further 3 generations on the Gorringe side.

Nice to find another 2nd cousin.

Technical Help / Re: Can't install the NBI disc
« on: Friday 27 July 12 12:19 BST (UK)  »
I purchased my disc directly from FFHS. I had trouble loading it once before. I sent it back, they cleaned it and returned it to me. Oh the shame.

I have reinstalled my FTM disc since my pc was returned to me by disabling Avast but that was before chrome downloaded itself. I have deleted chrome now. So I will have another go - when I find the time.

Thanks again.

Hi Jim

My user ID has adminstrator status. I may conatct the FFHS again. I'm afraid I don't fully understand compatibility mode. I have IE8. Though I noticed recently that I had the Chrome icon appear on my desktop.

When I received my pc back from repair I had IE6 but the system automatically downloaded 8 whilst I was away from my pc. That is when I got the chrome icon, though it is not set up as my browser. I didn't get on well with it before as there were some images from the genealogy sites that wouldn't open properly, so I deleted it.

I will have a look and see what is going on.

Thanks to all.

Many thanks Redroger.

Hi Jen. Long time no speak.

I have tried several times to close Avast and install the disc but no avail.

I am beginning to think there is a problem with the disk. (I have this problem before with this disk but it was just dirty. Perhaps it is past its sell by date) Me thinks I may take the disk into a pc store and get it checked out before sending it back to FFHS - again.

Many thanks for your help. I hope you are keeping well.

Jo

I have tried the Avast forum. It is very confusing. I finally got logged in and posted my request. But to post a message you have to type in the 'skewed' password which I failed to do. So went back and typed it in and was told that this message has already been posted. When I looked at my profile, it then said I have not posted anything.  ??? ??? ???

The Avast help pages are not really very user friendly Redroger.

I have tried switching File system shield off Japeflakes, and restarting but there is something blocking it. Even clicking on what is happening with the install it says it is being scanned. Stopped that but it still doesn't work.

Thanks Jim1. I will try that tomorrow because at the moment I am pretty fed up with the whole thing. My PC crashed and was told I had virus (which could be fixed) One week later my PC returned and back to factory settings. I could have done that myself. Grrrr. Money down the drain - again.

Technical Help / Can't install the NBI disc
« on: Tuesday 24 July 12 14:05 BST (UK)  »
My PC crashed and the nice man installed Avast on my pc. Now I can't re install my NBI disc. It does nothing when I click on install. I had this same problem with FTM and allowed 'something but can't remember what' from Avast which allowed me to re install FTM.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Technical Help / Re: Small' minute' text
« on: Monday 23 January 12 00:36 GMT (UK)  »
Well I have vista but remember pressing the ctrl and "-" key and the text went miniscule. Future trys have produced that ctrl and "+" make the text larger. So seems to work for Vista or XP. Just for future reference BTW, the procedure can be repeated to enhance or reduce the font. Thanks for the assistance.
