Family History Beginners Board / Re: Raymond Woodrow Statham

You're welcome. For your further research I suggest you look at any Wills you can find with those made by those with the name STATHAM and any other wills of that era and location. They can be found with Findmypast and probably Ancestry. If you do not subscribe to them you may be able to access them with the help of your local library.
PS - there is a lot of fiction in Familysearch trees.

The marriage of Katherine RUDDLE shows her groom’s given name as Richard but no surname for him so may not be connected at all.

There is a burial in Sudbury All Saints 1 Dec 1724 of a Katherin STATHAM wife of Richard.
Also burial of a Richard STATHAM at Sudbury All Saints 19 Feb 1725. No age given in either case.
Burial same place 31 May 1722 Sarah STATHAM daur Richard and Katherin

I can find no trace of any Raymond or Woodrow STATHAM.

As I recall doing DNA tests is not allowed in France so maybe it is a legal thing with the French government not allowing it.
Might also be something to do with Brexit?

COPPY AND PASTE
Using the trackpad - very lightly rest a finger on it and move the finger which should move the curser (pointer thingy). Place curser at start or end of the text you want to select - press a bit harder then move finger to highlight the text you want to copy. Remove finger from the trackpad. Press and hold Command key then tap "C". Release Command key.
Place curser where you want to copy the text. Then Command "V".
Use Command "X"and Command "V" to move text from one place to another.
On a on Apple keyboard it is probably Control "C" etc rather than Command.

To quickly select just one word double click on it.

The little square thing is a trackpad. I use a trackpad with my desktop rather than a mouse.
If you plug (or wirelessly connect) in an external mouse then you could use that and the trackpad will probably be disabled. You can buy small size mouse which are easier to carry though I have found that after a while my hand gets cramped up when using one.
An issue that can cause problems with cheaper laptops is that the trackpad will react to the heel of your hand brushing over the trackpad as you type on the keys. Wearing gloves (thin latex maybe) might help to stop this happening - and if you cut off the fingers of the gloves you would still be able to use the trackpad.

Sussex / Re: KEYNOR LANE

Cymenshore was a place in Southern England where, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Ælle of Sussex landed in AD 477 and battled the Britons with his three sons Cymen, Wlencing and Cissa, after the first of whom Cymenshore was held to have been named. The spelling Cymenshore is a scholarly modernisation of the Old English Cȳmenes ōra, which is now lost. Its location is unclear but was probably near Selsey. Wikipedia

I had a look in newspapers for surname Harding and keyword Keynor Lane. Just got someone called Harding of 5 Keynor Lane selling a cwt of seed shallots about 1941.

Mags, welcome to Rootschat. This "The Lighter Side" board is for incidental chit chat of no consequence.
You might get a better response if you put your query on either the Beginners Board or whatever county board is relevant. I've no idea what county or country the places you mentioned are in.
I don't think you could moved the thread rather than doing another query but a Moderator could so .You could ask.
And you might want to explain who "Bert" is.

You can get Ancestry for half price. Look in The Common Room at the message thread last updated on 7th October.
Find my Past can also be got for half
