Very happy unbirthday Chris. Sorry this wish comes late but hope you had a great time with all that lardy cake and homegrown cucumber. Best wishes Di

My ancestor wrote in 1859, in Hampshire, that he attended a lecture on "earthquakes and volcanoes" and another on the "Mastering of Men" (whatever that was!). He also taught maths in an evening class - for boys only, of course.

I have a collection of handwritten diaries from the North east States for the late 19C early 20C. These are all written by adults, mainly farmers, and I was initially surprised to read that a number of them attended "Spelling School" of an evening. Apparently these were held during the winter, in barns as well as schools, and were the entertainment equivalent to the movies and baseball. Day-time bees would help in the selection of a school team who would compete against a visiting team. But they were not just spelling bees they were also opportunities for the adults, who in addition to watching and encouraging their offspring would take part by giving "declamations", recitations and dramatic performances. It was not usual to provide refreshments and each family brought its own candle .I am not aware of such events in England. Has anyone heard of them ? David

Hi all Many thanks to Merv & 'edc' for their info & advice re old hospital records. Greatly appreciated. Maureen, NZ

Happy birthday, Christopher Robert Hayles. About time you caught us up in the age stakes! Derek & Maureen New Zealand

Happy 60th birthday Chris, Don't melt your lardy cake with all those candles!! Moya researching BANTING/BANTEN/BANTUM and PERREN/PERRIN/PERRYN in southern England

Found on a tombstone. Chris If with pleasure you are viewing, Any work a man is doing, If you love him or respect him, Tell him now. Don't withhold your approbation, Till the Parson's last oration, And he lies at rest, With lillies on his brow. For no matter how you shout it, He won't really care about it, Nor will he see the teardrops, You have shed. If a little praise is due him, Now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone, When he's dead.

Further to my message re Looking for Pinks in Hampshire, I am sorry their appears to be a problem with the web site it is not directing people to the Pink Family Tree I am in the process of getting it fixed I am sorry Take Care Gwenda-Australia www.spendlove.com.au
