someone was on about JOLIFFE a while back and have just found a mention of the JOLIFFES of Petersfield and states that they were visited by Edward Gibbon the author of the classic "Decline and fall of the Roman Empire" http://www.buriton.org.uk/bhb/infosheet05.htm Chris
Not quite off topic but seeing as the list is quiet Chris MURPHY'S LAW OF GENEALOGY 1. The public ceremony in which your distinguished ancestor participated and at which the platform collapsed under him turned out to be a hanging. 2 When at last after much hard work you have evolved the mystery that you have been working on for two years, your aunt says, "I could have told you that." 3 You search ten years for your grandmother's maiden name to eventually find it on a letter in a box in the attic. 4. You never asked your father about his family when he was alive because you weren't interested in genealogy then. 5. The will you need is in the safe on board the Titanic. 6. Copies of old newspapers have holes occurring only on the surnames. 7. John, son of Thomas the immigrant whom your relatives claim as the family progenitor, died on board ship at the age of 10. 8. Your great grandfather's newspaper obituary states that he died leaving no issue of record. 9. Another genealogist has just insulted the keeper of the vital records you need. 10. The relative who had all the family photographs gave them all to her daughter who has no interest in genealogy and no inclination to share. 11. The only record you find for your great grandfather is that his property was sold at a sheriff's sale of insolvency. 12. The one document that would supply the missing link in your dead end line has been lost due to fire, flood, or war. 13. The town clerk to whom you wrote for the information sends you a long handwritten letter which is totally illegible. 14. The spelling of your European ancestor's name bears no relationship to its current spelling or pronunciation. 15. None of the pictures in your recently deceased grandmother's photo album have names written on them. 16. No one in your family tree ever did anything noteworthy, owned property, was sued or was named in a will. 17. You learn that your great aunt's executor just sold her life's collection of family genealogical materials to a flea market dealer "Somewhere in New York City." 18. Ink fades and paper deteriorates at a rate inversely proportional to the value of the data recorded. 19. The 37 volume, 16,000 page history of your county of origin isn't indexed. 20. You finally find your great grandparents' wedding record and discover that the bride's father was named John Smith.
Can anyone tell me why the Birth Registrations for "Unknowns" listed at the end of each Birth Registration Quarter, have Initials after their First names, are these the Initials of the Birth Mothers, who are not named. Also when these children are Adopted how are they Registered and where? Have been looking at these "Unknowns" in the 1940s.Quarters. Regards, Pam.

Listers: A menu on the Dorset site below shows the proposed plans for changes to the ancient part of the town. http://www.dorsetforyou.com/index.jsp?articleid=351842&contactid=16541 The web site below shows the proposed ground floor plan. If you click on block plan or proposed plan it brings up a pdf file. http://revenues.christchurch.gov.uk/PlanningDocs/DocList.aspx?RecordType=App&RecordCode=8%2F06%2F0780 I am in favour of progress, but I also think we should preserve history. Having researched to 1719 in Christchurch Hampshire, and knowing that many of the old buildings are being preserved, it breaks my heart to see any of these old structures demolished especially knowing that the builders who lived in the 1700's were ancestral connections. I have written to the planning people to express my dismay. Is there anyone else out there that feels the way I do about this proposal? Kind regards, Helen Ginn

I forgot to add the most important details - that an additional 25,000 deaths occurred that year as a direct result of the sulphurous clouds. I have just watched a fascinating programme on BBC 2 about the Laki volcanic eruption in 1783 that wiped out a quarter of the population of Iceland and caused havoc throughout UK and the rest of Europe during 1783-4. Labourers and animals alike died in the fields from the poisoned gas clouds that obliterated the sun and crops failed because of the fierce storms and floods throughout the summer and autumn of 1783. The winter of that year one once of the harshest known. Gilbert White wrote about the summer midday sun looking like the moon and how the winter of 1784 lasted through to April, with snow up to horses bellies!!
