Oh well done William!! The pressure is on me now to follow suit. However you have been so helpful with this query (which actually only started out with an unusual name) -- I am really pleased that you have been rewarded by learning a new skill. That's just brilliant news.

As for you Jen -- helpful Tutor and query answerer!

What can I say? I only hope that some day I can help you as much as you have helped me. In the meantime you have made an old lady very happy! (I'll be even happier when I pluck up the courage and follow your guidance on snipping newspaper articles!)

William -- Just been reading the Prison records for Frederick Michael Railton which you found -- crikey - there's a hefty file.

His photo reveals that he is quite a chubby chap - clearly not gone short of 'vittals' -- then when you reach the physical description column -- I love the fact that the scribe has simply written 'Fat'!

Now try not to find anything else, until I've caught up with what I'm actually doing -- I can't keep up with you!!

It is ok, June! I think I am going to be in snipping mode for a while :).

Well done, June. (If it is any help I have discovered today that for some reason my manual dexterity seems to be marginally better if I start in the bottom right hand corner!).

Thank you William - I'll try that. At the moment I seem to keep cutting a fraction off down one side (I'm doing Newspaper articles - including the death notice you found for Osyth Railton.)

They are quite tight as the articles are so close together. I can't tell you how pleased I am to have been told about this though - Jen should be pleased with her pupils! I'm pleased with Teacher!

Happy Snipping William and thank you for the tip.

Searching my roots in Ribchester I came across this:

Baptism: 5 Oct 1792 St Peter and St Paul, Ribchester, Lancs.
Richardus Gorner - filius Gulielmi Gorner & Ellenae
    God Parents: Thos. Harwood?; Sythy Railton
    Register: Baptisms 1783 - 1805, Page 15, Entry 5
    Source: Original register at Lancashire Archives

It seems your Sythy Railton was a God mother to my gr gr gr gr gr uncle!
