Hi Peter, Different lists have had views taken and gone their own way, I believe. Actually, you can choose yourself how your reply works. I use Thunderbird 3.0.5 and I have icons to select: Reply, Reply to List, Reply All. If you don't want to to use Thunderbird, use the Reply All setting that should be on most email client programs. Training the Newbies would be a problem possibly. Depending on what other replies you get might I suggest you write to the list Admin, and ask if something can be added to the Successfully Subscribed message, which I think can be altered.

Hello all, Is there anybody on-list studying SPRAGUE or RIDGLEY or HUDSON in Worcestershire please? I am interested in Allen Spragg of the parish of Kidderminster who married Catharine Ridgley of the parish of Shrawley in 1787. I have found an Allen Sprague (son of Thomas and Hannah) on the Ancestry transcription service christened at Areley Kings on 2nd November 1765. Catherine RIDGLEY was probably baptised at Richards Castle on the Shropshire/Herefordshire border on 26th December 1766, the daughter of Richard RIDGLEY and Catherine HUDSON. Catherine is described as being from Hartlebury (and I see that there is a Hartlebury in the Shrawley/Areley Kings area). I think Catherine was born around 1730. I wondered if anybody had come across any of these families, and also whether there is any link between the Worcestershire Spragues and the Sprague family of the Axminster area of Devon/Dorset. Thanks Peter

As an incorrigible seeker of unusual and interesting characters who appear in the censuses (I confess this is not entirely unrelated to research for my bi-monthly column called Roy's Ramblings in Practical Family History magazine), I have become rather interested in a character called JOHN WATKINS HOLDEN, who appears in the 1911 census as a lodger at Bournemouth, aged 68, born at Worcester. John clearly had an advanced sense of humour, since in 1911 he describes himself as "Very much married" and he gives his occupation as "Wizard of Ye United World, Public Entertainer". I first came across this man in the census of 1881 at St Pancras, where he appears as "The Queen's Magician and Wizard of the Wicked World". His then wife Jennie is down as "Balard vocalist and good cook" and they have a daughter Grace, aged 7, whose occupation is "Auti Spiritualist known as uzita". Really got you hooked now, haven't I? In 1891 John is living alone at St Pancras, though still married, as a lodger and described as a "conjuror". Not really quite in the same league as "The Queen's Magician and Wizard of the Wicked World", is it? I couldn't find his wife or Grace, the daughter. In 1901 John is in Clerkenwell, apparently has a different (and much younger) wife called Bertha and appears to have started another family. Whatever happened to Jennie or Jenny? John is now described as a "Society entertainer", while Bertha comes from some place in Northamptonshire called Rothwell. Obviously, this man was one hell of a character and led a very colourful life!

Hi everyone, Was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Worcestershire monumental inscriptions cd includes St Michaels Cofton Hackett. Also, is there a map available of who is buried where at that church. Thanks in advance, Kerry Murray. Australia.

Roy, I presume you found the record on the IGI at www.familysearch.org You need to look closely at all the records for Barbara Palin in Worcester. There are seven in all - five birth entries and two marriages. You also need to look closely at the sources. Most are user submissions rather than extracted, and despite the different dates, my view is that they all relate to the same person. If you look firstly at the two marriages, the one in 1705 at Bayton is the official extracted record. I think the person who did the user submission got the year and location wrong. Then examine the five births. I believe they are all the same person, just different guesses. The 1680 data would be an estimate, by subtracting 25 from her marriage date. In amongst those five entries, one gives parents as William Palin and Elizabeth. I'd suggest that may be close to the mark. If you then go back to IGI and search using just the Palin surname and Worcester you get 52 Palin entries. Print them out and then sort them into dates and families. You may already have some of them, so concentrate on those before about 1720. If you do a parent search using William Palin and Elizabeth, you find Barbara had a brother Walter c1684 - 1718. Walter looks to have had a number of children. The family could go back to John Palen c1610 who had a son Gedian in 1634, but there are no other family records around that time. Peter in Sydney

Hi Folks I have found that Barbara Palin married William Bishop at Mamble in 1708, but I am unable to find out where she was born. Could anyone out there point me in the right direction please so that I can conduct a search? Kindest Regards Roy Penny, Australia.

Hello Rona, I only looked at the 1891 Census entry of the ones you quote, but it doesn't say he was born in the Stourbridge Registration District in 1880, although it does allow that conclusion to be drawn. The return merely states that he was 11 - which, if true, gives 1879 a 3-to-1 advantage over 1880 as his birth year - and that he was born *in* Stourbridge, Worcestershire. While granting that Stourbridge was in both Worcestershire and the Registration District, it doesn't mean that the entry is a true statement. Probably the big clue here is that Laura Gertrude [called 'just' Gertrude in 1891, which possibly was what she was known as, and may have married and/or died as] was baptised in Lower Gornal - which was her mother's birthplace. It was quite traditional for a first-born to be baptised in her/his mother's home Parish, which also might give a further idea of where to look for Ernest in 1881. Lower - and Upper - Gornal were only Ecclesiastical and never Civil Parishes, being for Registration, Census, and Electoral purposes parts of Sedgley [Civil] Parish - in Staffordshire and Dudley Registration District. The birth of an Ernest SMITH was registered in 1880 in the Sedgley Sub-District of Dudley Registration District [per UK BMD] - the Register being held at Dudley Registrar's Office under reference SEG/130/267. There were 2 hits for 'Ernest SMITH' registered in Dudley District in 1880, of which the likely one is Ernest SMITH - 1880 Sep Q - Dudley 6c 74 [The other is a Joseph Ernest in the Mar Q [6c 121], but he *should* appear in the Censuses as being a year older than 'yours' - and his birth was registered in Dudley Sub-District as 'Joseph E'.] Unfortunately Ernest wasn't recorded in 1881 with his Granny Hannah RAYBOULD in Temple Street, Lower Gornal - nor with his uncle & Aunt next door... :-( [But it seemed worthwhile trying!] Anyway, I hope the little I've found may have dislodged a brick or so...
