Remember if you are using an automatic reply of any kind when you are out of the office/home, unsub from your lists, or set it so it won't go to the lists and any of the listers. Thanks and have a safe weekend holiday. Just so you know, if I receive one, or one goes to the list, I put the subber on the 'reject' list where they stay subscribed to the list but can no long post messages to the list, until they assure me that they have adjusted their auto reply program, same goes for automatic mail from anti-spam programs. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton

Hello Listers If any of you have access to the 1871 Census for Derby could you do a lookup for me. I'd like to find John Dooley aged about 26 born Eyam and his wife Maria aged 30 born Pisley they have a daughter aged 13 on the 1881 census born at a place called Blackbrook. Hope someone can help Thank you Enid

Please would listers in the Chesterfield area brave the woodlice and spiders to take a look at the odd housebricks in their back yards, most people have one or two under flowerpots and suchlike. I am seeking a brick marked OXLEY or GRASSMOOR, or something like that. These would have been made by Charles Oxley at his brickworks in Grassmoor in the 1860s-70s. Thanks, Peter.

If any lister responded to my query regarding a Grassmoor Pub, thank you. I have just noticed that there was a breakdown of mailings to me when I was away. I received nothing sent to me between 0714 on 21/05/04, and 0200 on 02/06/04. I now know that it was the Sportsman Inn, possible not the current one of that name. Peter

I am researching all the BOWNE families worldwide and born all years especially Thomas Bowne b 1595 Matlock Eng (Lime Tree Farm) William Bowne b 1600 Yorkshire England who are their Mother and Father Brothers and sisters both came to the US in 1630s Ralph and Henry Bowne b England before 1595 could be relatives How are William and Thomas related ? thanks Audrey Bowne Seattle Washington State USA gregbowne@earthlink.net

I have a similiar situation that I have not been able to resolve. You could consider if he is in the armed services and serving abroad. Do you know what career he was in? could he be working abroad? Is there a chance he could have been transported as a criminal? Has he deserted his wife and is covering his tracks? Have you found a death record for him? Good luck Cathy Goodwin

Hi, I just want to introduce myself. I'm Simon Jennings born New Brimington, Chesterfield and living in Perth Western Australia (for 34 years). My Uncle still lives in Staveley and I'm currently tracing my family tree. I'm particularly interested in my Great Grandfather Thomas (b.1852) who disappears from all the cenus lists. His wife Hannah is with her father Isaac Cable in 1881 (listed as married and not widowed) and in 1891 she is listed as head of the house (still no Thomas).

Hi All Lists, I'm trying to establish if there was a DAVID STANLEY,who could have been a butcher in Hartlepool. He was born 1832, but have no other details. My great grandfather DAVID HUME had his 7th daughter FRANCES HUME on 4th June 1863. Somehow David Stanley emigrated to Canada, don't know when, got married and then in 1889 Frances Hume somehow mysteriously arrived in Canada and married David Stanley. So Can anyone help with these brick walls. David Hume was a meat and game dealer whilst in Hartlepool before becoming the High Bailiff of Rotherham thanks as always John Morriss HUME Always looking for:-HUME plus ARCHER-Cradley Herts, 1840---BEAL(E) - Sheffield 1880 BROOKES-Rotherham 1860---BUCKLAND-Nottingham 1880 BURTON- Sheffield 1910---CARLTON-Sutton on Forest Yorks. 1730 CLARKE-Myton Hall, Yorks 1825---CROWSHAW- Sheffield 1910 HARGREAVES-West Yorks 1840---HARRISON-Nottingham 1760 HELMAN-London 1850---HOLIDAY-Kilvington York 1780 LINCOLN-London 1850---McBRIDE- Rotherham 1850 SKELTON -York 1800---THEAKER- Sheffield 1910

This new one is not spread from emails but though the internet. It started in Europe and is spreading at a rapid rate across the world as we all wake up and turn on our computers. Here is a blurb from the Rueters news service. > "If you take a normal Windows PC and connect to the Internet, you will > be infected in 10 minutes (without protection)," Mikko Hypponen, > Anti-Virus research director at Finnish data security firm F-Secure > <FSC1V.HE>, told Reuters. > > "It seems to be gradually getting worse, but it could jump as the U.S. > wakes up," he said. > > F-Secure says the worm, which surfaced over the weekend, automatically > spreads via the Internet to computers using the Microsoft <MSFT.O> > Windows operating system, especially Windows 2000 and XP. > > The spread of the virus has been muted so far, Hypponen said, as it > emerged on a weekend, and with holidays closing offices in places like > the United Kingdom and Japan on Monday. > > But the spread was expected to worsen as the work week hits its > stride, Hypponen said, adding he believes the worm originated in Russia. > Here is info about it from Norton's Symantic Security: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sasser.b.worm.html There are two precautions you need to take to protect yourself from these types of attacks which seem to becoming prevalent. 1. Get regular updated patches from Microsoft at: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com 2. Get a firewall program. Saturday night, I was warned by my ISP (SBC) of this coming threat. Yesterday, I was in San Francisco all day and when I got home late last night. I took care of my email and forgot about it. This morning I had another email from my ISP and at the time I was reading it, on the radio, they were reporting about the Sasser. So I stopped reading my mail and updated my Windows patches and finally bought a Norton Firewall ($50) and four hours later have all installed. One of the Window patches I downloaded was a program to alert me when a new security patch was available. That way I can't forget to do regular checks. I know virus/worm protection is not genealogy related but since we are all doing genealogy on the computer it is important to be aware of the newest ways to protect ourselves. As the list administrator I believe it is my duty to bring these warnings to you attention. Now, I need some help since I am ignorant on how this firewall is working and getting all these strange messages about files trying to invade my computer when surfing from website to website. The dialog boxes asks me if I want to block the file, and I don't know what I am actually blocking. Does anyone know where I can go on the net to find out more?

May I put on record my interest in the Babington family of Ashover and Dethick as they form part of my family ancestry? I should like to hear from anyone who is also researching this family. Thanks. Kind regards, Alex
