Armed Forces / Re: Lost army war records

Thanks casalguidi
These records are both indeed my grandfather's,  I have his Royal naval division service record but not the other record, have you any idea what sort of information the register of seaman's service contains ? as I am not familiar with it .
Thanks Alan

The Lighter Side / Re: Spooky experiences while researching

I have been trying to trace my dads side of the family for years now, an uphill battle as dad was in care from the age of 18 mths and never knew his Family.
Recently I was lucky enough to find his fathers ( my grand fathers ) death certificate.
I started reading it with interest  but when I got to the informant part of the  certificate the hairs stood up on the back of my neck for the signature of the informant not only had the same name as me ( a j Berryman ) but the signature was mine or at least exactly the same identical even down to the same capitalization and spacing, no kidding this guy could have signed my cheques without anybody batting an eyelid, the guy who signed it was his son by his second marriage ( my step uncle ) a total coincidence but still spooky I think.

Wow thank you all for your great efforts,
I have tried to enhance this picture  many times before and made quite a good job of it apart from the face, I retouched the face OK but it just did not look like her, now at last it does and spot  on too, I bow to your superior skill knowledge.
Mum is 82 now a will be thrilled to see a photo that we thought was lost to us.
many thanks Alan

Technical Help / Re: Changing security suppliers ?

I used to use Norton but although good found it slowed my PC down a lot especially boot up times it runs in the background and takes up a lot of working memory, fortunately my broadband provider supplies a complete live protection package including antivirus, spyware, pop, up privacy and parental controls and so far has worked brilliantly.
PS beware I recently got a virus from an email pretending to be from one of my trusted sources that once opened disabled my anti virus of the time ( norton) making really had to get rid of
