Robert HUTTON/ Catherine DOWNEY late 19th century

[Siouxsie]

Dear Jenn,
Robert's daughter in law Ellen Hutton/Keleher sure is an elusive one........and I would agree that this thread (as well as Ellen's) has been so much fun......as well as an amazing journey of discovery of my roots.

Really looking forward to stunning 2009 ancestral discoveries for us all.

Cheers

Susie

not  too sure of  this  but I will  ask  away,  did you  order a copy of Catherine's will  or  see if anyone was able to view it for you?

The site is working but a wee bit slow

unfortunately  her will has not been digitalised so you  have to order a copy

Take a look at the site and see what you  can make of it all, it would be very interesting to read her will.

Jenn

ps you never know who's will you will find.

A little update on PROV.....I have phoned them on a number of occasions about various aspects of the website and was informed yesterday that the speed of the site will not improve.  I was getting a tad annoyed at not being able to look up some passenger lists.  Evidently only a certain number of people can actually access the site at any one time.  They feel the Wills and Probate database and subsequent downloading of digitised Probate files is adding to the problem   I have actually logged on during the night on a couple of occasions and the speed wasn't much better than during the day!! 

Cheers

Handy to know, thanks Cando....but not very helpful of them....to put more things online without considering the demand!
