I should be so lucky. Thanks everybody.

Sorry I'm not keeping up, I'm in bed with Covid at the moment. Think I might die ........

Only CuriousFox but it's a contact thing, not records & facts. I've had some helpful answers from it & helped others. If I see an interesting query on it or one that looks easy to solve, I give it a go.

The handwriting is so loose & scrawly, they should have been made to write in capitals. Gives me something to do though.

Not easy but looks like Spoonmaker.

Looks like Brightholmlee, I've heard of it but don't know where it is.

I haven't sent for a certificate for years, how do you get them instantly online ? I wouldn't mind doing that.

I've had similar with a large percentage of Dutch & Danish ancestors. It's a bit exotic innit ?

Convict labour !! How do you know that ? Although I can think of worse ways to pass the time in jail. It's true that in those days the enumerators wrote down what they heard, and the people weren't literate enough to correct them. Somehow it works.

I go on the Indexers site quite a lot, it's tragic when you see how many children they lost, or how young people were when they died.

I know, we've spoken before. Weren't you Dion Fothergill's brother ? I lived between your end & Adlington Road, on the hill. Look back on the old posts about Lindsay Road school & stuff. I live in Killamarsh now.

We might have bettered ourselves but you can't take The Cross out of us.

You know what they say - it's only just under the surface.

Wow, hope he thought it was worth it. It's funny how we find we're descended from nobility but it's filtered down over the years to herbs like us from Parson Cross.

Definitely Manager Scissor Business. Yes, you have to verify everything on the computer, there are lots of mistakes. Also people take info from each other's trees & we end up feeding each other duff information that gets carried on. It's good fun though. When you'ved traced a family through the Census from about 1841 you feel that you know them personally .
