Thanks FK and everyone else for their good wishes ,I wish everyone peace and good health ,we live in volatile times .
Trouble now in Venezuela!

Quite a fall of snow this late afternoon ,I had put some salt on the paths here and my son’s, he is down South, not sure when he will be back ,given the latest weather.
 Electric blanket on,can’t get a definite answer re that and my pacemaker, I have bought a new one but manufacturers won’t be definite ,nor will Doctors.
I do turn it off before getting in to bed.

Well off to a good book,modern writer but written in the same style as Jane Austen ,re language style etc.

Look after yourselves folks .

I am not sure what records were made or kept for people other than children who were evacuated from school and records were made .Younger children like me were evacuated by parents ,in my case to my paternal grandmother’s family.
Records must have been kept because if the parents still in the towns were bombed and possibly killed ,the children must have become perhaps “ Wards of Court” and thus the responsibility of some authority or other.
Not sure about young adults.
I hope someone can give a better answer to your query .

That was my thought too .
I have seen that with this spelling:-
Septicaemia or mea, the clerks were not Doctors and often mis- spelled medical terms .

I had a really good laugh yesterday at my own expense!
Eldest son had made a collage of family photographs and sent them off to be made into a jigsaw.
Well one of me when I was 80, is hilarious, still dark hair , glasses and a dead ringer for Mrs Brown!!!!Mammy !
Except I don’t swear!

Bitterly cold here but bright and dry.

Just watching “The Great Escape”—- however did our forces manage to escape , make civilian clothes etc ,forge passports and identity cards ——,absolutely amazing !

Were there any such escapes by WW1 prisoners ?(of whom one was my Dad),
That probably saved his life ,he missed “The Somme “and Passendale .

Cheerio folks, hope those unwell are soon much better, and that no one is lonely ,what a boon RootsChat is .
I think of members we no longer get posts from ,Skoosh comes to mind, and hope they and many others all are O.K.

A Happy Christmas everyone, hope all are warm and comfortable, with nice food and hopefully not alone .
