Is it possible to request a look-up in the Parish Registers of Binsted for Beatrice Alice King born c 1896 to William George & Catherine Jessie King. William's occupation - Police Constable. Many thanks, Rose

When you see the inside of some of these cottages you would be surprised how thick the walls are Some are about three feet thick and most of them are constructed out of basic wattle and daub etc. Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia O'Shea" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 3:35 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] Village website updates - Longstock When I was in Dorset in 2005 there were thatchers working in the village - most interesting to watch.

Hello Everybody, Can anybody tell me the name of the Pub that was at 73, QUEENS STREET PORTSMOUTH in 1901. Thank you, Syd

Cheers David I thought Hooves was right and then found a lot of the websites had rooves but there was another one which I forgot the URL to which said Roofs! But I have just found it at http://www.usingenglish.com/quizzes/answers.php?id=356 but as you say either can be used. As I said the English language is confusing enough for us English let alone people from overseas!!

Ah, you make me homesick (odd concept for a person not born there!) - can't wait to be back to look around again. I was most impressed with the thatched roofs (rooves?) - photographs don't do justice to the sheer size and bulk of these. I was surprised at just how dominant they are in relation to the houses.

Glad you enjoyed the website Patsy You are correct in saying they are more bulky than you imagine, some of these thatched roofs are a metre thick and a lot of reeds and work goes into doing them Incidentally a lot of websites use Rooves for the plural of roof but the correct word is Roofs!

Hello Everybody, If there is anyone with the 1901 census for PORTSMOUTH would they kindly keep a look out for , GEORGINA or (GERGINA) ANDERSON b.SOUTHAMPTON 1873. and her husband JOHN ANDERSON, all I know about them is they lived in PORTSMOUTH. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Syd

Hello Everybody, It is amazing how such a simple subject can generate so much interest! If you go to Mottisfont, near Romsey, you will see a grey one and it has been that colour for many years. Rod in Andover.

I know this Margaret that is why I was careful to put ONE of the UKs last Telephone kiosks. As I knew I would get inundated with people telling me where they all are!!
