Would anyone have access to Waithe, Lincolnshire parish marriage registers for 1899? They are not available on Ancestry, Lincstothepast or Familysearch. I am looking for extra details of the marriage of Joe LAMMING to Emma OLDROYD (widow) 17 June 1899. I would like to have an image of the register entry. Thanks, Leonard

Sorry to send this to the list but I am having difficulty in unsubscribing. I need to unsubscribe from my current provider because they will shortly be closing down and resubscribe using my Gmail address. However the information given in the header of the digest is different from that in the footer and neither seems to work; both bounce and return a message saying that the terms unsubscribe or help have not been recognised.

I have a few SIZERs on my tree. In my case it is a corruption of PIZER / SPICER. They are mostly around Warwickshire and Lincoln.

My mouse pad enjoyed a soak in the washing machine. Bob.

Hi, Missing Lincs, It is time to scrub that Mousepad that sits under your well-worn mouse. It picks up oil from your hands, dust, cat dander, dog spit, blood and other biologicals. It's a veritable criminal scientist's dream testbed. I usually start with simple dishsoap and heavy paper towel to scrub mine, but sometimes I need one of those dissolving agents to remove the lump that is growing and breathing back at me. Of course, I could buy a new one, but I've grown fond of the British Tourist Authority's map of London on mine. Now that some of the black spots have been removed< I can see street names that I didn't realize were there. So, go clean YOUR mouse pad. And wash that monitor while you are at it. I was at a "Disaster Prep Event" at my local fire-station yesterday, listening to people who survived the October Wildfires we had here in Sonoma County. The number one complaint? "I didn't have anything backed up." Pardon me while I beat some sense into you! Backups are NOT painful. But the lack of one sure as *%$@ is. Do you have a bank account? Isn't that a form of backup? I'll bet these slackers still have last year's calendar hanging on the wall. Not my Missing Lincs group. They're too "with it" for that. Now, let's tackle that family tree. Who do you have from Lincolnshire that you need to know more about? Lou (list admin.)

Hello Louise, Yes HOODLESS does seem to be an unusual name with various spellings - Hudlas seems to be a variant and Hoodlass. It seems to occur mainly in Lincolnshire and also Cumberland. I’ve no idea of the origin - probably nothing to do with going bareheaded! There aren’t many Abras about either. I have twenty of them down through six generations. If I can discover the maiden name of Francis HOODLESS’ wife I might even get some more!

Gosh, aren't the East Halton registers a mess! Luckily someone has written the contents on the first page - I just looked on FMP. The baptism you found must be from the BTs, particularly if you found it on Family Search. There is no marriage in the index for either Abra Grant or Abra Tenny (various spellings searched), and we looked at both registers and BTs when doing the indexes.

Hmmm. No Francis Hoodless or variation in the marriage index 1700-1837 for the four deaneries top of county. The BTs for Goxhill 1709-10, 12-13, 17-19, are missing and we don't seem to have found any of these yet in the unidentified BTs, and there are very few now dated between 1700-1720 that we haven't identified. Looks as though the record you are looking for hasn't survived. Presume you have looked at Hoodless wills?
