Exciting, not ot be missed opportunity!

My laptop is playing up and won't load or open pdf's at the moment.  I keep getting a message about loading plug-ins for Irfanview, even though I was tryig to open the pdf with Adobe.

I'll get my OH to sort it out.  Meanwhile, I'm just copying out the info I've found by hand.  Very interesting, it seems my g.grandmother's first husband was sentenced to 6 weeks imprisonment with hard labour, for stealing some rope from another boat owner.  Explains why the family moved from Lowestoft to Hull about a year later.

You also have the option of emailing the PDF's to yourself - this might give you an option to store them until you sort out your PDF problem.

I too think I have found the reason my great great grandfather was in prison in 1901 - need to confirm with other sources but it look s like him - a very very sad story.

Thanks Northern Rose.

I've done that now.  Don't know why I didn't notice the e-mail option myself.

The e-mail arrived, but it only gave the page information, rather than the content of the page.  Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.

This is an excellent site.  Whilst reading one article to see if it was a relative ( sadly not ) I found this article.

From the Bristol Mercury Monday 17 1826

E.M Page, 15, Wine Street, Bristol, reminds the Public that they never can have the opportunity of gaining a Capital Prize in the Lottery after TOMORROW, as on that day Six Pirzes of £30,000 will be drawn and then Lotteries end for Ever. 

Little did they know the Lottery would go National one day.

Hi, yes I knew mine had been in trouble, now I have confirmed that as I guessed he'd been in prison, and not only that had gone missing when released under police supervision!

By the way, I've also found but not copied yet, quite a few of the entries I've puzzled about and even asked about on here, for my Irish Hoeys in Manchester, and Salford and their "Cousins" in Liverpool area.

The announcemernts are definitely not just for the well off, - even though they call themselves "Esquire"!  I've found quite a few moissing marriages, or ones which just say registrar attended without giving a church.

By the way, you can also right click on the image area you want and save it to a file then use imaging softwear to enlarge the bit you want.

Good hunting!

From the previous link to this site on RootsChat some months ago, I logged on and saved the site to favourites, and I am still able to access it after all this time.
I think that we all get the same login words - virtual and books.

Cheers,  Pat.

I got a feeling Gale gave up when they found out some people had found a way in.

Well my OH is back and he's registered with the site on his PC, but he can't download the page I want either.  He's playing around with his PC at the moment.
