Hi,
Is anyone else having problems accessing the SEAX website at present. I am half way through a week's subscription but website seems to be unavailable today. Comes up with an error code of 11001 - Hose could not be found. I'm not having difficulty with any other sites.
Any news would be appreciated.

1. No, I browsed them online via Ancestry. I live in Australia.
2. No, I've checked out William Sprake Smith out and can find no connection to Louisa or her father Michael. Surprisingly I have been able to trace the Smith back another generation when they lived at Netteswell in Essex. From memory I think William Sprake Smith came from Sussex.
Thanks for your help.

London and Middlesex / Marriage at All Hallow the Great 1846 Benjamin Long and Louisa Smith
« on: Sunday 28 July 13 07:51 BST (UK) »
Benjamin Long and Louisa Smith married at All Hallow the Great Church in London on 19 May 1846. This was despite them both being born, living and in Benjamin's case dying in Cheshunt, Herts. I have always assumed that they married in London because they had son, Joseph Benjamin born on 19 December 1844 in Cheshunt before they married. Joseph Benjamin was registered under the name of Long and was also baptised under the name of Long in Cheshunt.
I was browsing the marriages for All Hallows the Great for that year as I have always been curious about the witnesses for this marriage and was surprised to see that there were only 8 marriages for the whole of 1846 and the next year they only had 1 for 1847. One of the other marriages for 1846 was on the same day as Benjamin and Louisa and some of their witnesses also were witnesses for the other couple.
Does anyone know why there would have been so few marriages at this church?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Lighter Side / Re: Which ancestor do you admire most-and why?
« on: Sunday 14 November 10 00:41 GMT (UK) »
This is a hard one to answer. So many of my ancestors deserve admiration. My German and Norwegian families who came to Australia in family groups in the 1870's. The parents of these families were in their 50's and 60's so it must been a huge decision to uproot themselves to give their children better futures. Facing a three months voyage on a sailing ship to a land vastly different from where they were born must have been pretty daunting.
Maybe my Granddad who left Grimsby at the age of 17 to migrate to Australia all on his own or his father who was orphaned when he was 10 and was sent to Grimsby as a fishing apprentice working in the North Sea.
But perhaps if I must choose, my great great grandmother Margaretha Nagel who at the age of 79 decided to leave Germany and join her remaining family in country Queensland. This was in 1889 and four of her children had been living in Australia for about 20 years. She had been widowed young and made a living working as a milliner making lace caps as worn at home by ladies in the village. She also kept a small store of drapery and, when time permitted it, she would take some of her wares to the neighbouring villages for sale. She lived on until she was 91.
