Hi Brad I am horrified if people are doing that. I would ask for a scanned copy of the certificate, surely that's fair. Obviously you would only give the information once you had ascertained that the person concerned was related to you or at least a twig on their branch. I see no problem and I would certainly not consider it necessary to purchase another certificate.

I believe Arnos Vale on the Bath Road at Brislington has a Book of Remembrance that is opened every day and displays the name of people's loved ones on the anniversary of the actual day and month of their burial or cremation or perhaps it's the anniversary of the death. I expect this happens in every large cemetery throughout the country. I believe the Book of Remembrance entry has to be paid for by the relatives at about the time of the burial or cremation. It's such a shame that some graves can't be found but I understand The Friends of Arnos Vale are doing a great job in clearing this huge burial ground. Bernice

Hi Liz I agree that the death certificates can be so interesting but finding out where the people are buried is so difficult in a large city like Bristol. Not so bad with my ancestors who lived in the country parishes on the edge of Bristol but for inner city dwellers they are extremely hard to find unless you have the money to pay for searches by Bristol City Council who run the large municipal cemeteries. Thank goodness for the death indexes on the Bristol & Avon Family History website and the various burial indexes on CD issued by the same society. They are a great help. Bernice

Hi Liz and Listers I always leave my email address on postems in the hope that someone will contact me eventually with a family connection but none so far but I live in hope. I don't advertise that I possess the marriage, birth or death certificate but I do leave a little taster sometimes such as son of William and Mary Smith or whoever. I sometimes quote the county where they were born and facts like moved to Bristol for work in 1870, or coal miner or teacher. I possibly don't own as many certificates as lots of our researchers as living in Bristol and having a very large number of Bristol ancestors, I've been able to find the relevant marriage, baptism or death entry in the appropriate parish register. This has taken countless hours searching through parish registers at Bristol, Gloucester and Somerset Record Offices over the years. However, I have not had to pay for too many certificates and sympathise with those listers who are going to have to pay more for their certificates in future. This will affect me to a small degree as I have still to find deaths for some of my ancestors so I too will have to pay the new fee. Bernice

Dear all, Thank you for your feedback on the FRY chocolate family. Several sources point to the family coming from the Sutton Benger area of Wiltshire. Since my own FRY connections come from (what is now) the Chippenham Reg. District area, I was hoping to find if any one had linked the two FRY twigs. My "stir fry" attempts have produced some small fry so far. (Storrs fry?) There is definitely a Quaker connection. [ Indeed, I would go out on a limb, and say that English chocolate manufacture and Quakerism seem to go hand in hand. Just think about the other manufacturers. ] Given that both my parents worked at Keynsham, I clearly have a great interest. [ The name C. B. FRY also came to mind as my father (with his sports interest) used to mention him. ] Thank you, one and all for your input, it is most welcome Phil

Whilst at the WDYTYA Live fair at the weekend, I took the opportunity of asking representatives of the GRO when/whether/if there was any movement on getting the post 2006 indices online yet. The gentleman I spoke to, Peter, said the intention was still to put the indices online and free of charge *but* it isn't going to happen in the forseeable future. They are a little further forward than they were when I spoke to them last year but they are still talking. In all fairness, it is a big project even though these indices are already digitised. It's also a costly exercise so they do need to ensure they get the right people to do the job: a firm who really understands the extent of the interest in family history and genealogy so there isn't a repeat of the fiasco of the 1901 census. Not the news we all wanted to hear, especially those overseas, but better they get it right first time. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Hi Meryl Yes, I too thought that must be him. People stole to support their families. I think it was only 3 months. Perhaps he got another ship and jumped ship at some foreign port? I was hoping that there might have been more about him in the newspapers. I tried every spelling to find more about him. Many of my LOCKETTs were in the newspapers - shipwrecked on more than one occasion and then I found one of my NEWBERYs - I got his death certificate which said he was accidentally shot so I wondered what happened and the Coroners report was mentioned.

Yes Liz, I saw that myself, I think it must be him as it coincides with the time when I believe that the Navy laid off a great many sailors. At the birth of one of his children around that time he was down as a labourer, the only reference to him not being a sailor, subsequent children, he obviously got another ship (I only wish I knew which one). It would be logical that with a family he would be hard up. he got 6 months if I remember correctly. All these little snippets keep adding up don't they! Meryl
