I agree with Nivard totally, I have a worldwide subscription to FMP and had the same details about 3 days of free access for anyone and everyone. for those of us who have a subscription, they have added 3 days on to the end of our sub, so, like mine was going to end on Feb 15th next year, that's now changed and it will end on Feb 18th. Absolutely anyone will be able to access the FMP website over the three days, although I believe I'm correct in saying you will at least need to set up a free acount to do it as you need to be logged in. that doesn't mean you need to pay anything, just set up a free account if you don't already have one. All the best, Jon

Crikey, you seem to be reading something into this that doesn't exist Why would they advertise to those who already have access? They have announced this all over the place see http://www.findmypast.co.uk/freeweekend I added that I as a worldwide subscriber had received an *extra* email telling me they would add three days to my subscription which I thought a good idea as its bound to be busy with a totally free access three days You don't have to use it, its your choice Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/03/2015 23:46, ABH wrote: > You have just pointed out that as a SUBSCRIBER you received the > email.

No, that would be rather pointless wouldn't it as they already have access This is a free three days, as a subscriber I had an email stating they are adding three days to my subscription which I thought a good gesture During the three days no doubt it will be inundated and slow to work which is usually the case They have just released a new version of search which personally I find much worse than the most recent version But its free for all for these three days Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/03/2015 22:52, ABH via wrote: > Isn't this just for those who have a subscription to one of their sites? > > > This weekend we’re giving you the chance to bring your past to life by exploring our collection of over 2 billion records and 10 million newspaper pages, absolutely free. > From 10pm on Friday, March 6th (AEST) to 10pm Monday, March 9th (AEST) our records from around the world will be viewable at no cost, meaning > you can build your family tree, for a whole weekend, on us.

I have a photocopy of a page from a book. I'm sure I have the book, but can't remember the title. It is page 79, a picture of men & greyhounds. The caption is: *One of West Cornwall's most popular sports was hare-coursing.and these men are ready to go.* I believe the Prowse brothers of Paul are in the picture. Thank you for any help, Kathryn Atkin (nee Polglase).

Hello to all, I hope this message is not considered "off topic", however, it does relate to Julia M's message re referencing and fact / historical fiction. I am sweeping my way through a very good publication by Australian author, Carol Baxter titled "Help! Historical and Genealogical Truth: How do I separate fact from fiction?" I have no vested interest in the publication other than to say it is an interesting, at times humorous and carefully constructed publication for new people to genealogy research and a reminder to the more experienced of us.

The West Briton (Friday, 17 Dec 1858) reported the following marriage at St. Ives: "At St. Ives ... and Mr. William James, to Miss Catherine HARRY, all of St. Ives." The St. Ives marriage register indicates that JAMES ALLEN married Catherine HARRY in that parish on 12 Dec 1858. The civil registration took place in the Penzance District during 4Q1858. James ALLEN (1829-1876) was the son of William ALLEN and his wife Eliza HOSKIN. James worked at various times as a miner and a sailor, and he was described as a labourer when he married in 1858. Catherine HARRY (born 1828, died after 1881) was the daughter of Anthony HARRY and his wife Kitty BENNETTS. She and her husband had at least two sons, both born during the 1860s.

Hi everyone - Just wanted to thank everyone for answering my questions regarding Courts, and legal practices. It's really helped, in that now I have an "authoritative" reference to give the lady who insisted (loudly) at a meeting that Bastardy Courts, as a separate function, existed in Britain in the 1800's. And I now know just how much to trust an author who writes "historical fiction",supposedly basing his stories in historical fact.   You've come through with flying colours!!!!

Phoebe, I have just noticed your message to the Group of a "James Roberts" of Constantine. I have a James Roberts baptised 10th June 1804 and married also at Constantine on the 9th February 1832 to my 2x great grand Aunt Elizabeth Oliver Richards (who was often called Betsy by the family and friends). They had 7 children, and James occupation was a Granite Mason. Could you email me off line at margaret@margbauer.com and I would like to know if we are in fact talking of the same James or not? Thankyou Margaret

Greetings. I noted James ROBERTS of Constantine in the list of Napoleonic War soldiers provided recently (many thanks for that) and I wonder whether anyone on the list is researching his family. I'm researching ROBERTS in Constantine and this is my thinking: I'm looking at William bapt. 1776, son James bapt. 1804, and his son William bapt. 1836. The naming pattern is traditional, i.e. Jas son of Wm named his first son after his father. It's entirely probable that William 1776 had a brother James young enough to go to war against Napoleon. The surname isn't indigenous but french, and it seems very likely that there was one immigrant to the village who started the whole family. Any takers? Phoebe

Have you tried looking on the Cornwall OPC database to work out how all the Roberts families interconnect? There is a James Roberts son of John and Margery 1775, James son of Richard and Ann 1782, James son of James and Ann 1786, James son of Henry and Phillis 1789. http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/ The name Robert became popular after the Norman invasion in 1066 and by the time surnames were being assigned (as late as the 16th century in some parts of Cornwall) there would have been local men with the name Robert whose children used the surname Roberts. The Cornwall OPC database has Roberts marriages and baptisms in Costantine from the 17th century.

I noted James ROBERTS of Constantine in the list of Napoleonic War soldiers provided recently (many thanks for that) and I wonder whether anyone on the list is researching his family. I'm researching ROBERTS in Constantine and this is my thinking: I'm looking at William bapt. 1776, son James bapt. 1804, and his son William bapt. 1836. The naming pattern is traditional, i.e. Jas son of Wm named his first son after his father. It's entirely probable that William 1776 had a brother James young enough to go to war against Napoleon. The surname isn't indigenous but french, and it seems very likely that there was one immigrant to the village who started the whole family. Any takers?

Another name which caused me some confusion was Caroline. Caroline turns up in my family as Kate.

In this case, Jane, Joan, Joann, Jennifer (also spelled Jenifer, Jenpher and other variants), Jennie, and Jessie were very common variants not only of the same name, but also sometime used variously by the same person on different records. I see this commonly on my tree, and there is a much more in-depth explanation of this at the following link: http://www.whatsinaname.net/female-names/Jane.html David Coppin OPC for Cardinham and St Winnow

Hello list; I have nothing specific to add re William Perry's burial, which obviously is a bit of a problem, but have come across similar cases. The various parish records have entries for those from elsewhere who died in the parish, even if they were from a nearby parish. This happened quite often in St. Levan, strangely enough. So it would be no surprise if young William was not taken back to the mainland for burial. Further to the completeness of the records, there seem to be quite a few missed. I have Thomas Bolitho born about 1774 and Frances Bolitho born about 1775 or 6 whose names do not appear in St. Just Baptisms. Frances at her second marriage in 1839 to Charles Richards gave her Father's name as James Bolitho and in 1851 gave her home parish as St Just. As far as I can tell there was no-one else named Bolitho having children in St Just in the early 1770s.. Of cousre we also have the quirkiness of some parish clerks. My favourite in my family is the Breage parish clerk who repeatedly referred to my 3xgreatgrandmother Jane Sampson of Treleggo as Jenifred Sampson of Treloggas. In St Wenn in early 1800s we find the wife of Willliam Brokenshire is variously Jennifer and Jane. Any mind readers out there? Cheers for now, Horton in Pz
