I am wondering if anyone is researching the name of Churchill and can help me out please? I have just received a marriage certificate for my William Hale who married Elizabeth Churchill in 1876, her father was Samuel. However, I can't find them on the 1881 or 1901 census and am now thinking along the lines that she may have died and he remarried - possibly an Alice Evans. If anyone can shed any light on this I would be most grateful. Many thanks Diane --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

If the administrator will please excuse me from going off genealogy for one more post I wanted to better explain my reaction to Peter and Valerie's posts. Peter, I accepted your evaluation for where the word "mully" origated and indeed Valerie's addition to that interpretation. What amused me was that the word traveled to the US with our families English immigrants and within a few generations was so completely changed and interpretated by my mother to her meaning. I spelled the word mullygrubbing but in fact due to the dialect used in the area where I was born and grew up the "g" was often dropped from words and it was used as "mollygubbin". Yep! we all speak the same language but come visit us and you won't understand half of what you are hearing of your English language.

Hello List, I am still researching my ancestors from Gloucestershire and I came across the site about the Cotswold. My Gt. Grandmother came from Chedworth and I came across an article about the Mummers of Chedworth, whom I found out happened to be my Gt.Gt. Gt. Uncles. In the play they talk about ...all you young ladies with the "mully grubs". Can any body tell me what is mully grubs? Many thanks for all your good work. Valerie (Down under).

Good Evening, Researching MORGAN from Gloucestershire (possibly Newnham or Churcham). In the 1851 Census there should be a Family Group: John MORGAN 41 Head (possibly Butcher) Ann MORGAN 41 Wife Thomas MORGAN 21 Son Henry MORGAN 17 Son Both Thomas and Henry are known to have come to Tasmania,Australia in 1855 on board " Ocean Chief". I am interested to know where the Family were in the 1851 Census,and where the parents were born. Regards John Melbourne,AUS.

Hi Listers, Living abroad I do not find it easy to gather as much information as I would like but I would highly recommend the book "The Forest of Dean Revisited" by Joyce Latham. ISBN 0-7509-1659-1 £9.99 published by Sutton Puiblishing Ltd, Phoenix Mill, Stroud. This book shows hundred of photos, named where possible showing events, people, places. Sue

Hi Valerie "Mulligrubs" (all one word) is colic or stomach ache, and also (and more likely in this context) sulkiness.

Hi Valerie: I wondered if "Mully ( Milky ?) Grubs " might refer to the cow pox which milk maids often contracted from the udders of cows they were milking, it was , I believe , that whilst the cow pox did not leave any scarring of the skin it was noticed that the maids never contracted small pox and did not have pck marked skin.It wa s this observation which lead to the intruduction of Small Pox vacinations which eradicated the virulent fom. Being of advanced years I have the vaccintion scar on my left upper arm.

Hi Will someone please do a lookup of the 1871 census for the POWELL family in Monmouth?
