That's true Coombs. FAMILY history can often be a solitary pastime. Ironic I feel.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

I am not addicted to genealogy it is just part everyday life like eating, drinking and breathing.

Cheers

WHEN I look through all the new posts to see if I can find a post relating to someone in my family! Seen it happen a number of times on here, when a newbie pops up looking for info on her GG gfather  and gives names, and sometimes there are members that say things such as " oh Yes, he was my GG grandmother's brother, we must be related!  That would be like finding gold!

I do the same! And check the surname interests. Have found no gold in either yet.

When an old photograph appears on F*cebook and OH says he is 80% certain that man is my Grandfather (I don't remember my Grandfather, but OH does).  So you ask anyone, ANYONE, if they know if it is him then spend the next few hours on tenterhooks, waiting, waiting, for someone ANYONE to confirm it is him.  *Sighs*

uhm  ----  oh dear - I am all    'un-addicted'   and cant seem to get back to it.... oh dear........ 24hours on my own, and absolutely Nothing else to think about, may do it.... but the spark seems to have gone,  :( :( not happy - 
I attempted the Himsley tidy up
and got nowhere - they are a dodgy lot.

I SHOULD do the Pollard's maternal side, but there are zilllllions..

there must be something still worth researching...............

I blame Ancestry, cos it has created a problem, as I do NOT like having to re-learn things, my brain seems only to allow me to do things the same way I have always done them.......

So Back burner... till the sparks catch......

You'll be back, firing on all cylinders before you know where you are - just get ONE tasty new bit of information, and it all flares up again.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
