I'm not doing too badly

On my mums side I have all my grandparents, great grand parents.
I'm missing 1 gr gr grand mother (flipping Margaret Williams!)
10 gr gr gr grandparents
15 gr gr gr gr grandparents
13 gr gr gr gr gr grandparents
10 gr gr gr gr gr gr grandparents
and 1 of each 7xgr, 8xgr and 9xgr (I think!)

As for my dad's side, I'm lost!  I do have back to 1575 and (I think) my 11x grandparents.

Still a couple of maiden names to find in that lot and many more to fill the gaps.

Thank Goodness I'm not back to uni until October!

Good Luck and Happy Hunting everyone
Love

I can, and I'm well on the way to finding all the gggg's after 15 years of searching.
This may collapse though if I ever find my Grandmother's birth.............Elizabeth Violet Everett.............If  I find that she was adopted then her line will go out of the window!!!

Legs,

I'm here!

It's weird seeing my name in your post :o

My namesake is obviously causing you grief - I promise I will ensure that my research is thorough so my descendents won't have similar problems. ;)

Hope you find her soon,

margaret :)

Hi Margaret,

How bizarre!  I wish you were her and then I could stop banging my head against this brick wall!  She married Edward Hubbard Middlesbrough in 1923, had 3 children (1923, 1925 and 1927) but as far as I'm concerned she has neither been born or died!  Her marriage cert states her father was William Williams but theres no occupation listed as he had died.  Searching for Margaret and William Williams in the UK is like searching for a needle in a haystack as I'm not even sure where she was born.

Oh well, I'll carry on searching!

Love
Legs

I wish!! Although i don't think i am doing to badly!
4/4 Grandparents
8/8 G grandparents (1 illigit)
14/15 GG Grandparents + 1-Maiden name (1 illigit)
26/29 GGG Grandparents + 1-Miden Name
23/58 GGG Grandparents + 1-Maiden Name

I have been at it about 18months! So at this rate... Although it has slowed down one hell of a lot! i am now building a One name study for the Vacher/ Vatcher name to keep myself busy in those times when the info drys up! D x

 
Brunton, Binnington, in Cullercoats
Paterson, Anderson in Fifeshire
Vacher, Vatchers, Vatyers, (other various spellings) , in Dorsetshire
Marchams, in Oxfordshire / Berkshire (depending on date)

Margaret-yes we were safe, high up but cut from town by the three routes in. However, late this afternoon we managed to get into town via a lot of water still on the road but just passable to buy some much needed supplies
Your research name of GIDDEY caught my attention as I once worked with an Alan Giddey at the Post Office in Griffith, NSW-very unusual name.
Bye for now,
