Hello Frank I think this is probably what they call a 'User submitted entry' in which case there isn't anywhere to look for it. If you imagine someone has found a marriage then they will assume that the person must have been born perhaps about 25 years earlier and submitted an entry to fit those circumstances but of course the person marrying may have been a few years younger or several years older and could originally have come from anywhere. It is just possible that the information came from a family source like a Family Bible but you are unlikely to be able to trace its source. These entries are not very helpful to the wider audience!

Hello Dorothy Sullins (with an 'i') is in the Prees area but I don't know exactly where. Sandyford is 1 mile WNW of Woore and close to the A.525 road. There is a Sandyford Farm named on the modern Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 map but if you look on a 1:50,000 map (see www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk and put Woore into the Search Box on the left then when a piece of mapping comes up in another window scroll west once) it is the property adjacent to the Transmitter mast symbol a short distance west of Gorsey Bank Farm. Click the Zoom In + button to see Sandyford Farm named. Just a thought, you did mean Sandyford or Sandford? Sandford is one and a half miles ENE of Prees on the A.41 road.

Hi all have a qestion can you help what is the asterix for i.e <surname> on the i.g.i and when it gives a name and place but no date only about and is not on the record of that parish were would one look thanks all frank in oz

It is my understanding that it is possible that both these properties belonged to family members in 1815 and most likely before and after that time. I would be very interested in finding out more about these properties and wondered if anyone has any suggestions as to how to go about this. Thank you.

Does anyone have a connection or information regarding a WILLIAM POOLE who married MARY BROADBENT on AUGUST 2, 1814. If so I would very much like to hear from you please. Dorothy

See how the wonderful old folks of the list of long time past help each other out! No doubt about you, Leon, that is a marvellous thing for you to do. Perhaps you should be given a gold medal, or two? Good one Graham

Marvellous, Gordon. No doubt about it, someone's looking after you! I have experienced similar things in my family history research that would also turn your hair. Perhaps there is something to be said for Carl Jung's definition of synchronicity, after all. No further comment. Cheers Graham

Howdy all Slightly off-list. This is something that happened to me the other day, and I am still not sure how it occurred. I started my computer and on the desk-top there appeared a small window in the background with VERY BIG magnification of one of my email pages. Goodness, I thought, this is a wonderful thing for folk whose sight is diminished, though me having had eye ops recently did not need it, so I sought a means of deleting it from my desk-top. Eventually I was successful. It seemed strange as to why and how it suddenly appeared, though I expect it was from a Microsoft Windows automatic update over the internet, or somehow I had accidently triggered it off from within XP. Anyway, as there was some mention on one of these lists recently about needing to view things in BIG PRINT because of eyesight problems, I thought this might be helpful for those (of us) who have failing eyesight. It seems that this facility is already ensconced within Windows XP, though you can download it (probably only for XP though) from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Hope it works!

Sometimes for text magnification I am able to use the IE sequence from the menu bar View > Text Size > Larger but in many cases this does diddlysquat. Intead, I go to Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility > Ignore Font Sizes specified on Web pages Warning: If you click on the option "Ignore colors specified on Web pages", which I do when a creative web page designer has used a deep wavy blue background with faint white type or a similar difficult-to-read combination on a website, you may find that you are unable to see certain options on the page which are differentiated only by color. Second Warning: On a list I belonged to a couple of years ago we discussed using the "Ignore colors" option to make a graphics-intensive (kittens and ribbons) website with good information easier to read. A website creator wrote us in high dudgeon. She did not think we had the ethical right to alter the results of someone's creativity in order to simplify accessing the data. This is an interesting point of view, although untenable in my opinion. Eleanor Everall Gordon California, USA

Hello Barbara You seem to have done very well with your research so far. Sorry I can't help with those families, but it may be worth mentioning to anyone on the list that I have PUGH transcriptions of BMDs at Llandysilio, MGY, and also PUGH census details for Oswestry district, Salop.

Hi Rosemary Congratulations on setting up your new Probert Rootsweb site. I hope you were able to get copies of the Probert entries in the Shropshire Advertiser for the Sweeney area from the Oswestry Library. I know they are always very helpful. Did you manage to get the location of Probert memorials in the Oswestry Municipal cemetery? In order to get your new site off to a good start, and as I have a bit of free time, I have listed all the Proberts in the Border Counties Advertizer (BCA) indexes from the earliest in 1858 to 1960 which are additional to the ones I have already sent to you. The indexes start in1849. Ones up to 1930 are below and I will send you the full collection off list.

Sorry I don`t recall who sent the original request.There were no recorded births in the parish records of St.Laurence Ludlow for children of Edward Thomas Charmer and Emma Williams between 1902 and 1910.There were at least 3 other Charmer families giving birth during those dates.Sorry. Frank Baker
