As a relative newbie, I'm finding family research can be likened to "How long is a piece of sting" ! Perfect example in my own family is that my husband is researching his line but is staying very very close to the main trunk.... and getting nowhere fast! whereas I am branching out wherever a lead takes me, and getting a substantial lot further..... Cheers Lynda NZ

I think FindMyPast don't use the address on the form, they use the one on the "Schedule" page. Brynderwen is actually more legible there than on the "Original" page. I corrected a few of my family because the address on the "Original" page was slightly different from what they transcribed but they would not accept the corrections so I gave up. They appeared to be relying on what was on the "Schedule" page.

Shwmae Marjorie. In case nobody else has replied to your request. Senghenydd school was a primary (approx 4y-11year olds) and the original school building was demolished about three years ago At that time it was a Welsh language school called Ysgol y Gwyndy. The Senghenydd school which you are seeking information about transferred to a new building, I don't know when, and is still in the village and is, I believe, called Nant-y-Parc. Hwyl Kelvin

Hi Graham and Listers, Small point, but Margaret Pole was *Countess* of Salisbury. In case anyone wants any further details, there is a Wikepedia page about her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Pole,_Countess_of_Salisbury Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah The Glamorganshire Canal www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Although I'm not researching the WILLIS family in that census entry, I did look up his marriage index on FreeBMD out of interest, and found that his name should read "Edward Stanley". Cheers, Jon

Hi everyone, Thanks to those who replied on and off list, it's appreciated! I wasn't asking for a lookup on the 1911 census which is why I didn't include names, ages, etc. I have the transcription from the 1911census.co.uk website, but being blind it's of no use to me downloading the image, i can only read text with my talking computer, hence the request for help in clarifying the address. Very many thanks again, Jon

Beheaded at 70... let that be a lesson to me...

Hello Kelvin, thank you very much for your reply, the information about the school is much appreciated. Marjorie

Hi All My question today is "how far from the main trunk of our family tree's should we research? Currently I am out to 4th and 5th cousins, is this too far? I appreciate that the answer could be in the eye of researcher, however, what do you greatly experienced researchers think? Thank you John Mandurah Western Australia
