The Stay Safe Board / Re: Diary summary week ending 11th May 2025
« on: Yesterday at 10:15 »
As far as I am aware, none of my family fought in WW2.  However, my father did his "bit" helping to build Spitfires, which explains why I was born in Hoole (which makes me a genuine "Hooligan) and not in rural mid Cheshire.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Please can anyone help me with something new

Dorothy:  Yes, I think we have already agreed that the Samuel Cooper and Hannah Pearson was incorrect - wrong Samuel (Shopkeeper) - his father given as James Cooper, (Bricklayer).  AND you have details of the Samuel Cooper (Coal Miner) and Hannah Bentley marriage - his father given as Thomas Cooper (Labourer).

The Common Room / Re: Birth Register - Hand Written Entry

You could always purchase a copy of the 1932 entry from GRO, or the 1924 entry which is detailed as an "Occasional copy A".

I am afraid that familysearch 'trees' always bother me.  I used to do all of my research in the LDS history centre and we discovered then from a couple of 'members' that their one purpose was to 'baptise' dead people and they did not seem to worry whether the person they were putting on their tree was linked to the tree or not, to say that their research was sloppy was an understatement and that was before 'Ancestry trees' really got started.  It was as though they were just collecting names. I have heard others say the same who used different centres to me.

Having said that there are others there that did care  ;D

Have you done your DNA  :-\

I would agree with your experience, rosie99.  I, too, used to visit the local LDS centre and found the same outlook.  One day a lady was being helped to upload her family tree - "... but I'm not sure that I've got the right wife..."  "It doesn't matter" was the response from the LDS member.   :-X

Apologies for being a little "light-hearted" in the midst of pet problems, BUT:

Our local garden centre runs an "over-60's Club" where special offers are available to members every Wednesday.

This week's offer is "TWO free slices of toast" but you have to purchase a hot drink.  :-X :-X :-X

Whatever - the weather will be whatever it wants to be, regardless of time or day!  BUT if we are still here, then that is all that matters for us!   :-* :-* :-*

James - possibly Entwistle  :-\  And I'd agree with Brougham for Jane.

Perhaps not a lot of help, but Dennis Wright was one of the witnesses to the marriage.
