How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) / Re: How do I leave Rootschat please?
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 11:56 BST (UK)  »
Thanks a lot, Little Nell. I haven't had any response at all to what you very kindly term my generous offers and I want to concentrate on my careleavers website and another site I'm currently building.
How do I contact the Moderating Team, please? I'm very puzzled at the lack of clearly marked links allowing people to cancel their membership which is very simple elsewhere on the net.

Kent / Re: PAGE & FINN

Hi Eillo. Just joined Rootschat and saw your post re: the Page family of the Chilham area. My ancestors (Topley) not only lived in Chilham but also married into the local Page family. My ancestor Nicholas Topley alias Tapley had a sister Martha who married a Thomas Page from nearby Chartham in the late 1600s. Quite probably a family link with your Sarah Page, i should think.
I live in Ashford, not far from Chilham and we often go there to clean up our one remaining family tombstone, that of our ancestor's brother Thomas Topley. (We also visit the very old & interesting pub next door.)
Hope to hear from you soon, regards
Colin Topley

Hi JJ, thanks very much for your very prompt response. I've added to my website some of the BHC website links you kindly provided.
 As a side note, I also checked out a link on one of the Rootschat pages asking about the parents of a Sarah Page born in Chilham, Kent in 1836. My family lived in Chilham for almost 200 years and one of them married into the local Page family so you can imagine how much I want to contact the person, Rootschat ID Eillo, to discuss this but I can't seem to find the actual post which refers to this enquiry.
Hope you can help, in fact, I'm confident you can.
Thanks in advance, Colin

Hi to all you descendants and/or friends of British Home Children. I'm the webmaster of the Unofficial Dr Barnardo's website at:     http://www.topleybarnardo.cwc.net   
which I have recently re-started updating after a 3 year hiatus, for which I apologise.
I noticed my website's URL in some messages posted in this section and I would love to hear from anyone who can spare the time to visit it and perhaps sign the guestbook or better still, email me your thoughts on the whole story of Dr Barnardo's Homes especially of course the BHC chapter.
Thanks for your time
All the best, Colin Topley
