My Grandmother used to roll a cube of butter in sugar and make you suck it for a cough. It worked in as much as you dared not cough again for fear of getting another one. Also,she used to keep a pot of tea simmering on the stove until it was nicely stewed,and then add a good dollop of Carnation evaporated milk.Sickly or what?

Thank you to Nancy & John for their messages re Isaiah Burkitt GRIFFITHS b. 1855 Wednesbury; the brother of my husband's Grandfather Isaac Burkitt GRIFFITHS (tube welder). A cousin had told us that Isaiah & Isaac had planned to emigrate to Canada or the US but Isaac's wife Elizabeth refused to leave Staffordshire. Nancy has found Isaiah on the later census so that has put paid to the idea of emigration. It is good to get things sorted. Thanks again Pat.

Hello Marion, Having had a look at the entry on the IGI, I see that the date has been submitted by an LDS member.

We had golden syrup sponge pudding today (courtesy of M&S these days though as it doesn't seem worth making a huge steamed sponge pudding just for the two of us). As I child I used to like golden syrup sandwiches! Don't think I could manage that now though, far too sweet, and very sticky. Carol have you tried the Heinz tinned ones? they are nice and quick cos they are nukeable (micowavable) and enough for 2! Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
Hi All, I have tried to locate a copy of the marriage certificate for the above couple from information and dates shown in the IGI. However, I haven't had any luck. The Certificate guy tells me that there was no such marriage on the given date in the Dudley area. I have it shown in the IGI as being 28 February, 1825. However, Dudley this does not appear to be where the couple married. If he were born in the Tipton area, where would they have been most likely to marry? Does anyone out there have any other information on this couple? I do know they were married since I have a copy of the death certificate for Sarah. Any clue as to where their marriage took place, would be welcomed. Perhaps West Brom? But if it was W.Brom wouldn't that be in the Dudley area Registers? Thanks in advance, Marion
