Great Chris, just one or two points. I noticed while scrolling the page with the 'applets', that as you scroll the applets flicker , there are a couple of photo's missing they are replaced by the infamous red X on a couple of pages, but I guess they are just teething problems .. and finally to be a bit pedantic, the photo of Hedge End School, states that I am on the extreme right of the photo, actually I am the handsome young man on the left, front row .. but once again, great to have the site back ..

Well done Chris, good to see the site up and running once more, sure have missed it ... Len

"MISCONCEPTIONS," by Michael John Neill This is a semi-serious look at some misconceptions that genealogists (and non-genealogists) have about family history. 1) WE ALL HAVE A FAMOUS ANCESTOR, SOMEWHERE. I've got the names of over three hundred of my ancestors and have yet to have any of them qualify as "famous." In some cases, you may want to reconsider being related to someone famous. Hard-working, law-abiding relatives are nothing to be ashamed of. Try and document your ancestors accurately, whether they were famous or not. 2) THERE ARE NO "EARLY" BABIES OR SHADY STORIES IN MY FAMILY TREE. Trace your ancestry completely for six generations and then we will talk. 3) THERE WERE THREE BROTHERS WITH THE LAST NAME OF [TAKE YOUR PICK] WHO CAME TO AMERICA. WE DESCEND FROM THE YOUNGEST (OLDEST, MIDDLE, TALLEST, SMARTEST, ETC.) If this is true, then the number of families who had three sons is beyond statistical expectations. Check it out. 4) IMMIGRANTS WERE ALL POOR. There's no doubt that the vast majority of them were and came to America with only the clothes on their backs. Once in a while though, you'll find one who had a little bit of money and came to America hoping to make more. 5) LIFE BEFORE 1900 WAS ONE OF BUCOLIC PASTORAL BLISS, DOTTED BY BARN RAISINGS AND CHURCH SOCIALS. Life before 1900 was hard. No running water, no electricity, no law (in some areas), rudimentary medical care (if any), child labor, and few of life's creature comforts. This only scratches the surface. I'm not even so certain life was "simple." If I want a loaf of bread, I go to the store. Great-great-grandma likely did not. 6) EVERYONE LIKES TO HEAR THE TALES OF "NOTORIOUS" ANCESTORS. Not everyone will think the story of great-great-great-grandma's four husbands, two divorces, involvement in a murder, and the running of a tavern should be included in the family history. 7) CENSUS AGES ARE ALWAYS CORRECT. You must be kidding. 8) OFFICIAL RECORDS SHOULD NOT CONTAIN ERRORS. They do. The best way to deal with it is to try and research around it where possible. 9) GENEALOGISTS ARE ALL RETIRED. Not so. There are genealogists out there who have yet to hit forty or retirement. If you see one who has yet to hit puberty, tell them to interview their grandparents now. Most of all encourage them, gently. 10) GENEALOGY IS NOT AN INTELLECTUAL HOBBY. Ever tried to read through (and understand) sixty pages of court records from the 1840s? I've taken calculus exams that made more sense. Same thing goes for platting property in metes and bounds. Talk about applied mathematics. 11) MY FAMILY HAS A CASTLE IN EUROPE. Some did, but don't believe it until you see it. Don't really believe it until you see the deed, title, etc. 12) MY ANCESTOR SERVED WITH WASHINGTON, LEE, GRANT, ETC. Choose your war . . . take your pick. There are lots of these stories. Check them out before believing them. Document your ancestor's service, accurately. 13) I GOT IT ON THE INTERNET, THEREFORE IT MUST BE TRUE. Nope. 14) I GOT IT ON THE INTERNET, THEREFORE IT MUST BE FALSE. Nope. 15) I CAN DO MY GENEALOGY ENTIRELY VIA THE INTERNET. Nope. 16) I CAN DO MY GENEALOGY WITHOUT THE INTERNET. Possibly, but it really saves time. 17) THE RECORDS IN STATE Y ARE CLOSING BECAUSE IT WAS POSTED TO THE GENEALOGY MAILING LIST FOR THAT STATE. Check out rumors before you spread them. Think before you forward or copy and paste this type of information to other people or lists. [Editor's Note: For more on this, see the FGS Suggested Steps for Action in the Feb. 9 Ancestry Daily News at: http://www.ancestry.com/learn/columns/dailyarchive/02-09-00.htm#4] 18) I CAN DO ALL MY RESEARCH ONLY USING VITAL RECORDS, OBITUARIES, AND CENSUS RECORDS. Goodness! There's a vast treasure trove of other sources out there that you can utilize. 19) MY SURNAME HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPELLED THE SAME WAY, WE NEVER CHANGED IT. Maybe, but then again, maybe not. 20) EVERYONE REPLIES TO E-MAIL IMMEDIATELY. Some genealogists have non-genealogy commitments, such as family and employment. Be patient and wait a few days before posting a follow-up e-mail. 21) I CAN TRACE MY ANCESTRY IN ONE AFTERNOON AT THE COMPUTER. Time for a reality check. 22) I CAN TRACE MY ANCESTORS IN AN AFTERNOON AT THE FAMILY HISTORY CENTER. (See number 21) 23) SOMEONE HAS ALREADY TRACED MY ENTIRE FAMILY TREE. I JUST HAVE TO FIND IT. That's the tricky part--finding it! Then comes the fun of documenting it. 24) DOCUMENTATION IS ONLY FOR GENEALOGICAL GEEKS WHO GET CHEAP THRILLS BY ASKING, "WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?" How will you ever compare three different birth dates for Grandpa if you don't know where you obtained each date? 25) GENEALOGISTS ARE NUTS. More likely they are truly focused on their research. However, one correspondent told me that working on genealogy "beats spending all my free time at a bar." 26) GENEALOGISTS ARE RUDE AT THE COURTHOUSE OR LIBRARY. Genealogists are people and a few are rude. Just make certain it's not you. No family historian wants to walk into the courthouse just after the most obnoxious genealogist on the planet has left the building. 27) GENEALOGY IS BORING. You must be kidding. I've learned a great deal about history, culture, and myself researching my own family. 28) YOU OUGHT TO BE DONE WITH THAT FAMILY HISTORY BY NOW. Well, I would except every time I find one ancestor I have two more parents to learn about. 29) THERE IS ONE BEST GENEALOGICAL SOFTWARE PACKAGE. Most have their pros and cons. Pick one that works for you, keep alert for new packages, but only change when you have good reason to. Time spent upgrading and upgrading and constantly learning new packages can be spent doing research. 30) YOU ARE COMPLETELY ADDICTED IF YOU SEARCH THE INGREDIENT LIST OF YOUR BREAKFAST CEREAL FOR YOUR ANCESTRAL SURNAMES. This is likely true, but I'm not admitting to this one in public! -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi, I am new to this list, does anyone have the name Walliker in their tree from the Alresford area, in the early 1900's. Does anyone have a connection? Regards Ray (IoW)

For those who had interests in the JOLIFFE family recently. I was retyping the history of Stroud and Langrish and found this "Langrish was a sub-manor dependent upon the manor of East Meon, and was held by John Langrish in 1419. The property continued in the Langrish family until the Seventeenth Century when it was sold to the Long family. In 1719 the manor was sold to Thomas Ridge of Portsmouth but his son Thomas was declared bankrupt in 1764 and the estate was auctioned to William Joliffe of Petersfield in 1771." Chris

THE BOTLEY RIOTS Taken from the Hampshire Chronicle 12/1885 ELECTION RIOT: A most disgraceful riot occurred here on Tuesday evening at the close of the poll, such as never been seen in Botley before. Shortley after six o'clock gangs of men and boys were seen pouring into Botley from the outlying districts, principally from the direction of Hedge End and Bursledon, They paraded the streets in a great mass, yelling, and throwing stones at anybody they could meet and without provocation of any sort knocking down and rolling people in the mud. Before tradesmen could put up their shutters some had their plate glass windows smashed, and, parading the various streets, the gang attacked principally the Conservative houses, but the Liberals were as great sufferers, some houses having nearly every pane of glass in their windows broken. The Conservative committee-room formed a special butt, both glass and panels being smashed in, and the stones striking the inmates. The polling was at the National School-room, but before the close of the poll the building was attacked, the mob pouring into the buildings a hail of stones, much to the jeopardy of the officials. It was guarded by two policemen, who were obliged to barricade themselves in, as the mob threatened to enter and take away the boxes, and they broke down the wooden fence, and their intentions were only frustrated by one of the tradesmen of the town, who promised them beer. The presiding officer (Mr, Leonard Warner) was kept some hours in the building, unable to leave, and only succeeded in getting away with the box by crossing the fields, and making for the railway by walking along the line to the station and leaving Botley by the half-past ten o'clock train, Telegrams were sent to Bitterne and Winchester for Police assistance, but none arrived in time, and the mob held the town quite in their own hands until about half past ten, when they went away, there being no policemen present excepting the two guarding the polling station. ---------------------------------------------------- Taken from the Hampshire Chronicle 1886 Epiphany Quarter Sessions William Earwicker, H. Emery, John Ryves, James Hopkins, Henry Hopkins, Samuel Othen, Richard Jurd, Daniel Barfoot, Henry Wellstead, James Lebborn and William Sharp, labourers were indicted for a riot, on December 1st at Botley. Mr Bullen and Mr Giles prosecuted: Mr Mathews and Mr Rubie defended. Mr Harding said he was coming out of his gate on the day of the election for the Fareham Division, and was attacked by the mob, and he identified Earwicker, Emery and Ryves as pushing his gate, and trying to prevent him from keeping the gate closed. Ryves threw mud and dirt over witness, who knew and identified the parties conclusively. The gate was forced and damaged, Mr Harding retreated to a cedar tree, followed by stones and brickbats, which struck him. The mob then went to the school, after smashing Mr Harding's windows with brickbats. Mr Harding attempted to reach the Conservative Committee-room before eight o'clock, and again encountered the mob. He was hustled and an attempt was made to knock him down. Earwicker and Ryves wee again prominent in violence. James Hopkins was there, and William Sharp was busy in urging the mob on. Mr Harding tried to induce the mob to behave like me rather than wild beasts. He entered the Conservative Committee-rooms. Mrs Beaumont opened the door. A few stones were thrown, and the windows of the house broken. The mob went away and re turned, and the show of brickbats and stones was "awful", the damage great and the howls and hooting of the mob tremendous. There was hardly an unbrocken window next morning. The mob had for two hours entire possession of the streets. Mr Harding escaped by a backway and across the fields, and go home unobserved and uninjured! He took proceedings against Earwicker, Ryves and others on the 15th. He had some flags across the road and placards. He amused the Court by telling Mr Matthews he was said to be a nice man, and would be paid for his services to the prisoners by a subscription, W.J. Pearce (Mr Harding's gardener), recognised Ryves as a member of the mob. Just before seven (near the Schoolroom_ he saw Earwicker in the mob breaking the school windows. Mr Croucher went into the school, and when he came out Earwicker took his arm, and the mob went down the street. Some time after six he saw Earwicker, Emery, and Ryves in the mob. After the poll was closed he saw Earwicker outside the school whilst the mob smashed the window and forced at the door. James Hopkins, John Hopkins, H. Hopkins, Othen , Jurd and Barfoot were in the mob. When witness got home he heard the mob hooting and yelling and breaking windows, inclusive of those of wintess's house, and he fired a blank cartridge to frighten them. A carpet bag of flats, brickbats and other "political persuaders" were produced from Mr Harding's premises. He never said he aimed at the crowd, but if it had hit them it would have tickled them up. Mr A. Beaumont, insurance agent, and personation agent at the polling station said at 7.30pm the mob came to the polling station and smashed the glass. At 8.30pm the mob came and demanded Mr Thomas Warner,....(this sentence is a bit indecipherable).........and used threats and then tried to force their way into the polling station. Witness recognised Sharp and Earwicker. Mr Haynes tried to induce the crowd to go away and Mr Appleyard received a stone in the face. Witness went home and found his house a complete wreck. His wife wall ill from injuries caused by brickbats, and she had not been well since. The ballot boxes could not be moved that night; and witness could not accompany them for threats. Mrs Beaumont identified Earwicker. Joseph Taplin identified James Hopkins, Lebborn, Wellstead and Jurd as members of the mob. Witness was stuck with stones. Mr Marsh, grocer, proved that the mob smashed his glass with stones, and injured his furniture, driving his family to the rear of the house for protection. Police constable Hibberd identified several of the prisoners, the Hopkins, Othen, Jurd, Barfoot and Sharp. Many houses were damaged. Mr Guillaum's Mr Briggs. the hotel, and the Post Office (in the mains street). In Winchester Street Mr Warner's windows were a wreck, and Mr Bell's, Mr Ray's, Mr Hamilton's, Mr Hack's and Mr Harding's houses were damaged. Ryves said he tried to get the others away. Earwicker admitted he was there, and Emery also. Police Sergeant Miller arrested the other nine prisoners; some said nothing, and others pleaded they did do damage, but were in the mob, and Wellstead said he did not do so much damage as the others did. Evidence having been given for the defence, the Chairman summed up, and pointed out what constitued a riot and a participation therein. The jury convicted the whole without much deliberation, and the Chairman having consulted with Mr Esdaile proceeded to pass sentence. They had, he said, had a fair and patient trial and the jury had come to a right decision. It could not be tolerated that persons should commit these outrages and disturb the public peace because people differed from them It was intolerable and if it was likely to occur again the sentence would be severe. He cautioned them to avoid this conduct hereafter, and sentenced them to one month's imprisonment each.

I am in the middle of retyping all my webpages and was doing Petersfield when on a look up I found this which may interest those who asked about Joliffe a couple of weeks back. Chris "Swan Street in Petersfield was the site of the old poorhouse, that was given to the town by John and William Jolliffe in 1771, it was later superseded by the Union workhouse in Love Lane, which now houses the Health Centre.."

WORKING WITH TWO WINDOWS? Windows XP I am often wanting to work in two windows at one time without having them revert to the taskbar. To arrange two windows side-by-side, switch to the first window, then hold the Ctrl key while right-clicking the button on the taskbar for the second window. Then click on "Tile Vertically" and your two windows appear side by side and stay there while you work easily between them. ----------------------------------------------- How Long Has Your Computer Been Running? Windows XP Home, Media, and Professional Windows XP is noted for its ability to stay up and running for long periods of time. I hardly ever shut my computer down. The only times I do are: 1. When I have to reboot due to a update or software install 2. Severe lightning in my area threatens to fry my router or cable modem Other than that, my old computer keeps right on purring along - day and night. And, yes it still runs great too! If you're like me and seldom reboot, you might find this tip interesting, especially if your trying to see how long you can go without rebooting. If you want to see how long your computer has been running do this: Click Start--->Run. Type in COMMAND and tap the Enter key At the command prompt type "net statistics workstation" without the quotes and press enter. You might need to scroll up to the top of the window to see when you last started your computer. If your a stickler for detail, and don't like to scroll, type "net statistics workstation |more" (without the quotes) and press enter. The |more tells Windows to pause at the end of the first page. ------------------------------------------------- WINDOWS VISTA TIPS ONLY Three Tips For Windows Vista Windows Vista - All Versions Installing Vista Without A Product Key Did you know you can install Windows Vista without a product key to try out Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business Professional, Windows Vista Ultimate? Just leave the product key field blank, hit next, and answer no to the dialog box. Select which edition you wish to install and check the box at the bottom. Caution, if you install it without a key you'll have 30 days to try out Windows Vista. After that, if you don't have a product key that matches the version you installed, your goose is cooked. Well, your goose will be OK, but you won't be able to use your computer :) Windows Vista's Built-in Screen Capture Utility Windows Vista has feature that makes it easy for you to capture screencaps (or screenshots). They call it the Windows Vista "Snipping Tool". Why they call it the "Snipping Tool" is beyond me :) Anyway, to access the Snipping Tool, Click on the Windows Button (formerly known as the Start button) Click "All programs" Click "Accessories" Click "Snipping tool" And, You Talk About Large Icons! By default Windows Vista uses large (I mean HUGE) icons on the Start menu. Unless you're having great difficulty with your eyes, you're probably going to want to make them smaller. You can change this. Here's how: -Right-click on your start menu -Click "Properties" -Click "Customize" -Scroll all the way to down to the bottom and uncheck "Use large icons". Oh, and one more thing!
