Hello Pamela, I do apologize for putting you to so much trouble my dear, but I have to admit to a little subterfuge. Last year I put an entry into the Royal Air Force Magazine (of which I am a life member) asking if anyone had any news of four exRAF guys that I was stationed with at #34SFTS Medicine Hat, Alberta, from 1941 to 1944. Been trying to find if any of those old twerps were still alive. I'm 88. Didn't hear a thing for months, but suddenly two days ago I get an e-mail from a David Spicer saying he was in Medicine Hat in those days as a four year old and his dad was in the Maintenance Wing, as I was. He also included a large photograph of all of the Maintenance Wing. I was tickled pink and replied straight away - but it came back as undeliverable. Was beside myself - all that info and photographs and the stupid address did not work. Whatever could I do ??? Having been involved years ago with finding my ancestors, got onto 24 of those web sites and sent off that message. Had to tell a little fib because they will not let you try to find someone who is still living. Had a few responses but nothing that was helpful. then remembered the RAF people and e-mailed them; don't know what the lady did, but next day there was an e-mail from David; same address but now it worked OK. As my wife always says: if you want the job done right give it to a woman !!! who am I to argue ?? So everything is now working very nicely, thank you very much; all I have to do is unsubscribe from all those 24 web sites. I have been living in the States for the past 40 years, 20 miles south of Seattle in Washington State, only 2 or 3 hundred miles from Medicine Hat, but never had the opportunity to revisit the place where I met and married the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world.

Thomas who was born in Heath and Reach, Beds in 1821 married Sarah Hale on 15th November 1841 at Potsgrove. Thomas' father was William (from marriage certificate) - any more information on William and mother much appreciated Sarah was christened in Thorley Hertfordshire on 21 April 1822 to Samual Hale (b c1791 Thorley) and Sarah Haggar (b c1791 Thorley) who were married in Thorley in 1811. Anything about Samuel and Sarah's ancestry also much appreciated Any theories why Sarah moved 55km would be intriguing too! Rick Smith

Trying to find info on David Spicer, born about 1915 - 1916. Was living in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada in 1940, but lost track after going to the UK in the 1950s. Presume he has since passed away but have no knowledge of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether alive or dead. Believe he also served in the RAF during the Second World War.

Would someone have access to the Haynes/Hawnes Parish registers and be able to look a the details of the marriage between William WOODCRAFT/WOODCROFT and Sarah ENDERSBY on 5th November 1771 please. I am hoping that William's age, father's name and parish [if not from Haynes] might be recorded. Any other detais such as witnesses would also help me. Thank you, Jenny Woodcroft [Brisbane Australia] Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. www.yahoo7.com.au/y7mail

For some reason the list is censoring my messages and replacing the text with a link to the list guidelines. The list owner suggests I try opening a gmail account and seeing if messages sent from that get through So here goes David

Hello Jenny, A marriage prior to 1 July 1837 would be *MOST* unlikely to give his father's name, while any Parish named would be where he was living at the time, and not where he was born. It just may give his age - if he was under 21. The forms used for Marriage Registers didn't ask for the information you're hoping for - and so it wasn't provided :-( However, you just may be lucky if they had married by Licence - for *IF* the "application form" has survived, that may give a little more detail. But the chances aren't all that great... I'll hope for you that you ARE lucky!

Graham, Keep looking around the Cranfield area, - I cannot help with your specific enquiry , but in my Loxley information I have an Edward Cooper marrying a Margaret Loxley in February 1722 - so I guess it is possible that they remained local.
