For Sale / Wanted / Events / WANTED "A Share of Time" book
« on: Thursday 17 April 25 19:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
Does anyone know where I might get a copy of A Share of Time, by Donald Low MC.
It recounts his time in the the same regiment as my dad in WW2.
Thanks

That's quite close numbers.. interesting.
BTW whoever bought the Warren badge was lucky, his service record exists. It actually says he should never have been enlisted!

The Common Room / Re: Trying to link two Booseys in Essex

Hi coombs, I seem to remember some of those names from my searches, I will look back at my info.

Hi mckha489 , no I don't have a marriage for Henry Snr yet. Interesting idea re remarriage, she might not have been a Boosey by birth.

Just reopening this post in case any new members have arrived that may have any Boosey/Grave connection.

The Common Room / Re: Can artistic ability from distant ancestors persist to present day descendants?
« on: Friday 14 February 25 07:17 GMT (UK)  »
I think that artistic and musical ability would be governed by a group of genes rather than just one so getting all of them passed down would be unlikely. However genes are randomly inherited, so it's not impossible.
Shuffle and pass on some of a deck of cards, and 4 aces might get included every time.
