As list "mother", I don't think it has disappeared, but we do seem to have people with a lack of discipline in communication. It is easier to not capitalize. It is easier to leave out punctuation. Particularly for those who only use two thumbs to type. Now, all those things were intended to make reading easier and faster. Your brain doesn't work as hard when punctuation and capitalization are used. But the brain of the sender has to work a little harder.\ So, PLEASE us all caps for surnames, but lower case for everything else. It's not like you are going to have to send 50 messages to the list, so let's make each posting perfect. You like being perfect, don't you? Because nothing on the Internet ever disappears. Now, go clean those thumbs.

AMAZING, is the only comment, so why do we not get records like that when we ask for information about relatives. In the UK that is.

A HUGE thanks to Susan Reynolds for finding my Capps family in USA. Looks like the mother Elizabeth and 4 sons went to the US in the 1850s. Now I have lots of extra family to add to my tree and I'm sure it will keep me busy for quite a while. When it's so long ago, I wonder when the contact was lost. The mothers death date of 1876 was in the family bible but no family was added again till the my greatgrandfather started having family in Lincoln in 1881. My ggrandfather died young in 1896. I'm sure my grandmother never knew of family in US. I feel as if I just won lotto. Thankyou again for a wonderful helpful list. Christine, Perth, W.Aust

What happened to the policy of typing surnames in capital letters? It seems to have disappeared. With names in caps it's so easy to scan the email for names and find ancestors and connections. Jan Marchant Lismore, Australia

John did indeed die on the date you have and was buried in Albany NY as were his mother, wife, and brother Thomas and his wife. Elizabeth died 22 Mar 1876. she never remarried. I am fairly certain the two Capps men in Nashville, Tennessee are the right men as Thomas and Annie's (Hannah) daughter Annie was born in TN. I wondered about that until I found the two in Nashville, then it made perfect sense. I could only find one index record of any arrival in the US but I have not looked at the outbound manifests on Find My Past Name: Robert Capps Birth Year: abt 1829 Arrival Year: 1853 Arrival Place: Tennessee Age: 24 Source Publication Code: 8752.10 Primary Immigrant: Capps, Robert Annotation: Date and port of arrival or date and place of declaration of intention. Extracted from various original documents located at the Metro/Davidson County Archives in Nashville, Tennessee. Place of origin and book number of original record are also provided. Source Bibliography: SMITH, MARY SUE. Davidson County, Tennessee Naturalization Records, 1803-1906. Nashville, TN: Byron Sistler & Associates, Inc., 1997. 346p. Page: 46 Original data: Filby, P. William, ed. Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s. Farmington Hills, MI, USA: Gale Research, 2012. It is entirely possible they all traveled together but I don't have access to this book at the moment - and it's only an index, not a primary source. This date is not necessarily the date of arrival in the US, but can also be the date he registered his intent to naturalize. From the marriage record below, it's probably the latter. Only 2 of the brothers lived to or past the 1900 census. Richard, who died in 1911 and showed an immigration date of 1856 on the 1900 and 1843 on the 1910. That last date is rather suspect considering his age and the fact he was at the state asylum on the 1910 census. In fact, he was enumerated twice in 1910 in April at his own home where his daughter probably gave the information and may not have known (or the enumerator wrote it wrong), and at the asylum in May which does not include immigration information. My own great grandfather got his immigration year wrong on the census, so 1856 is not necessarily out of line, just mis-remembered.

Hi list members. I have been quite for way to long but always read the digest as it comes through. Today I checked old archives of the list but didn't find anything that I may have missed with my Capps family. Also reading my own messages from early 2000s. I have a mystery with my Capps family from St Paul in the Bail from after 1841 census. Most never to be found again so have tried, Capps, Caps, Capp. William Capps and Elizabeth Musson married in 1818 at North Muskham. They moved to Lincoln around mid 1820s. In 1841 William the father has already died. Surprised his burial was not in St Paul but believe he is the William buried at North Muskham in 1829. First son William b 1818 moved to Sheffield after 1851. His mother Elizabeth, then 55yrs, disappeared after this time, she was with William and family at 33 Westgate. I would love to know if she remarried or where she died. Next son John is home in 1841 and then he goes walk about. Though from family bible a death date for 20 July 1867, can't find that. Next is Andrew b 1821 my GGGrandfather and ok with him. Then we have James bap St Paul 16 Oct 1823 and married as Thomas to Hannah Betts 19 Mar 1850 St Paul, never to be seen again. Robert b 1826, 1841 census Coach Builder and away he goes. Then lucky last Richard b 1829 but missing from the 1841 census. So I have lost mother Elizabeth and sons John, James(Thomas) Robert & Richard. I have looked at Lincs to the past many times and today going through US census. Plus I can't find anyone that has more info on Ancestry family trees. Just don't know where I should look next. Advice of where to look would be lovely. Chris from wet wintery Perth, W.Aust

Hi List, I understand there has recently been published a book commemorating the WW1 soldiers of the Deepings, it has now sold out. If anyone has a used copy for sale I should be grateful if they would contact me, I should like to buy it. Thank you, Mike.

Well done that father. Barbara.

Hi Mick and Nivard, that method of catching sparrows was all the rage when I was a youngster in the 1940's, but if our father caught us, he would give us a good hiding, for trying to hurt the poor defenseless birds, this was in the fens of Lincolnshire near Holbeach.
