http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/stories/110.htm?homelink=news I've just read this article - where it says thus --- Quote:- The 1911 census is a huge document – more than 12 times the size of the 1901 census, with 35,000 volumes containing the details of our 35 million ancestors and occupying some 2 kilometres of shelving. They are in good condition and suitable for scanning, with less than 5 per cent requiring more extensive conservation work to be scanned safely. In addition there are also 38,000 volumes of enumerators´ summary books that are in excellent condition. These are likely to be included in the online project as they contain useful and unique information that supports the census information. However, they do not provide the level of personal details that can be found in the actual census schedules. End of quote .. For the past few years - I've been led to believe that this Census was in a terrible" state - & that access to anything useful would be fairly negligible ... http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:ZNZAOHKT3-4J:www.british-genealogy com/forums/showthread php%3Ft%3D4656+1911+census+neep&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=2 What are we to believe .. ? ...

Because it wasn't ladylike to wear trousers cos that's what men wore.

From The Times, 08 Sep 1819 posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. HURRICANE. - The following account of the late hurricane at Whitehaven is given in a letter from that place, dated the 1st inst., and inserted in a Carlisle paper: - "A tremendous storm from the westward came on here yesterday morning about 5 o'clock, and has continued with little abatement till now, 8 o'clock, Wednesday night. The progress of the tempest was rapid: a vessel off the Isle of Man first felt it about 3 in the morning; it began here about 5, and reached Wigton by 7. The damage amongst the shipping in this harbour and upon the contiguous coast is great. About 7 o'clock the Content, REED; Atlas, BLACK; Fortune, HIND, belonging to this port; the Two Brothers schooner, belonging to Ramsey; and the Phoenix sloop, of Newry, all run on shore at the foot of Lowther-street, and are lying in a perilous situation; yet, when the gale abates, it is expected that they may possibly be got off. At low water, about noon, the Content, BURNS, of this port, came on shore behind the north wall. The life-boat was immediately manned from the New-quay, and sent off to save the crew. On reaching the vessel, all hands, excepting the captain and mate, left her. The life-boat was again manned by a fresh crew, who attempted in vain to reach the vessel, and were obliged to give up the attempt. The captain and mate, seeing the imminent danger of their situation, sent a rope ashore by means of a float, when the boat once more reached the vessel; the mate immediately descended on board by the rope, but the captain was still determined not to quit his ship, great as was the peril. After the lapse of some time the life-boat was manned the fourth time, and sent off for Captain BURNS, and after much patience and difficulty he was taken from the wreck, under a hearty cheer by the crew, which was instantly replied to by the thousands assembled upon the shore; in a few minutes all landed in safety. The great exertion had scarcely ended, when another vessel hove in sight, and seemed destined to experience the same fate. She was soon known to be the Thistle, Captain ADAMSON, also of Whitehaven. The crew appeared to be using all possible exertion to keep her off the shore; but a short time showed that their endeavours would prove ineffectual, as she neared very fast; and at length her head was pointed directly on shore towards the beach behind the north wall, where, in a few minutes, she struck. The life-boat was again immediately prepared to bring off the crew, who, knowing the difficulty of rowing the boat to the windward, sent off from the vessel a buoy and line, which was brought ashore by some men who spiritedly swam off amongst the surf. In a few moments the boat reached the vessel by this line, and the cheering of the crew told those on shore that all was right, and the whole soon stood on terra-firma. Thus the life-boat was the means of saving the crews of two vessels, who otherwise would inevitably have perished. The ships continued to beat heavily during the afternoon. About six o'clock the Thistle began to break up, and in a few minutes she was a complete wreck. The Content remained firm an hour longer, when she also broke up; and this morning there is nothing to be seen of either vessel but a heap of broken boards, spars, and cordage." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Johno, old friend Sorry I'm a bit late in replying, but I've not had a very good signal for ages. It's great to hear from you again. I take it, that you've had a visit from Marlene by now? You all take care and I'll catch you again soon Hugs John Hello Dear Friends I have not been in touch for a while but I thought I had better send a note to say that I am still in the land of the living. My number is nowhere near ready to come up yet apparently (according to Cathy and Mary). Healthwise I am about the same. The eyesight continues to deteriorate slowly so that I cannot pick out detail now. Cathy took some photo's of bluebells in nearby woods but I really wasn't able to see anything except a blue and green blur. That is a great pity as bluebells in springtime were one of my favourite sights. I am trying to be positive however but it is not easy. I haven't even been able to say hello to my dear friend Marlene yet but I am hoping to meet up with her this week sometime. I hope you are all well.

Good news Liz ... Let's hope they can help ... Talking of "Brickwalls" - maybe we should 'air' some of ours - see if putting other people's brains to them can break some of those walls down ... What do you think .. ? ..... No guarantees - but you never know ...

We boil a kettle full of boiling water first - and then put it in the saucepan ... After it's reboiled - we add the pasta - and at this point - lower the light to a fairly fast simmer ... BTW - did Peter get the "leaning-engine" .. ? ..... Sue I don't have the lid on tight either, but somehow I just miss the point to stop it going over. I am usually filling the kettle, concentrating on another pan, setting the places for eating the meal etc etc. I am watchful, but seems at the wrong time - or perhaps it is the problem with multi-tasking!!!!! Liz
