I appear to be annoying you.
Please make allowances for the fact I have Aspergers Syndrome and do not discriminate against me on this basis.

Dear Pamela

I would like to introduce myself to you, I am Valda's co-moderator on the Surrey boards.

Please let me re-assure you that you are not annoying Valda.

There are people on Rootschat who are willing to do look-ups for others, the time they give is voluntary, so we cannot allow people to waste the valuable time others give repeating look-ups that may already have been undertaken.

It is a courtesy to inform people that you have made related posts about the Mawbeys and let them know where these requests are.

Having read through your recent posts, that is what Valda has been attempting to do.

If you do not know how to copy and paste a URL at the top of the screen from one topic into another please let us know and we will explain further.

If you haven't already, please take a look at our help pages

http://www.rootschat.com/help/index.php

and our guidelines for posting

http://www.rootschat.com/help/posting_guide.php

http://www.rootschat.com/help/posting_best.php

This is also taken from our help pages and is taken into even more consideration by the moderators

It is hoped that our members are courteous and polite to each other, making allowances for:

those that do not speak English as their first language,
those who have to overcome severe difficulties in their day-to-day-lives
those who are new to genealogy and don't know the "obvious".
those who are new to computing and are not as computer-literate as others with regards to technical jargon and conventions. There are many Rootschatters who have been grateful for the technical help and advice that is freely given.

Regards

Dawn

Dawn,
There are many people with Aspergers Syndrome throughout the world, and I believe our differences in thinking and communication need to be acknowledged by RootsChat and its convenors.
People with AS naturally have to right to look for their ancestors , and not to be dismissed, albeit rudely, by people regularly dealing with the public who do not know about this relatively common condition.
I am upset about what has happened recently on RootsChat, and currently feel like not having anything further to do with this genealogy site.
Might I suggest that you and Valda view some websites that explain what Aspergers Syndrome is, in order to be able to recognise people with this disability when they attempt to use your site.

Hi

The handwritten record on Ancestry.com.au is very difficult to read.
Could somebody please help me out with deciphering this record, particularly the place where he came from


Are you able to attach the part of the record that you are trying to read.

Thanks
Rosie  :)

Pamela

I really don't think anyone is being rude or unaccommodating to you, unfortunately, and this applies to both people without AS as well as those with, we can all phrase things that can be misunderstood by others.  Some people's style of writing can come across as abrupt even when they do not mean it, it's also up to the reader to give someone the benefit of doubt.  I know since I've been annoyed on a few postings addressed to me in the past, but have given the person the benefit of doubt.

As for your George Mawbey (and as Valda has asked for no more postings to be place on the original baptism request posting), I really do think you should look into the George baptised in 1823 to Joseph and Ann at Southwark Christ Church.  I appreciate you had read the birth date as applying to the mother rather than the child, but I concur with Valda that baptisms never included the birthdate of the mother, only that of the child when known.  While it says the family were from Lewisham, Kent, as that parish is right on the border with Surrey, he is stil a possibility.

As his father is Joseph and his age ties in with other information you have, he could definately be a possibility.  You say both George and his father were dealers.  Joseph father of the George from Lewisham is listed as a carpenter but it is quite possible over the years he changed profession, possibly if he was unable to get work in his normal trade.  I have blacksmiths who ended up working on the Docks because they could not get any work as blacksmiths.  Also, it depends on who gave that information for the associated document, if it was one of George's children, they may not have known and just assumed their grandfather was a dealer too.

Which of the documents on ancestry.com.au are you having difficulty reading?  I know Valda has already said that copyrighted documents can't be uploaded, but if you post the details I, and probably others, would be able to have a look at the original document on ancestry.

Hi All  :)

Pamela, I've added the baptism of George MAWB(E)Y to my list of look-ups in the parish registers.  It may be that the record holds a bit more useful information than is shown on the IGI index.

(Film #307686, Christ Church, Southwark, 29/9/1823, to remind me  ;) )

The original digitised entry from ancestry says Sept 28 1823, George son of Joseph Mawby, carpenter, and Ann, b[orn] Dec 31 1809 .... Lewisham, Kent.

I think Pamela has already looked at this from when Dawn originally posted it last year.  There was a bit of confusion over whether it was George or his mother born 1809.

I think the entry Pamela is having problems reading may be for a passenger list entry or something similar.
