The Coin which I have been asking about.. here is the latest: Value about $2. Pennies minted prior to 1860 were thicker..and made of copper. after this date..bronze... (I dont agree with this...as I am sure the Pennies from pre decimal days were copper..can someone verify this please??? Bronze to me is not the same colour.. and I remember my pennies as being copper colour!!! Maybe wrong.. I love to question the experts! Nevertheless, I am retaining my coin of 1854 with Queen Victoria on... so thank you to all the people who showed interest in this coin.... Adele

Hello Adele, No, I am afraid you are wrong and the experts are right. The banks have called pennies "bronze" rather than copper for a very long time. Today's pennies and twopences are in fact made of coated steel, . If you go to this site; http://www.24carat.co.uk/silverpennies.html you will find a great deal of useful coin information. It is a commercial site (I have nothing to do with it) but bits and pieces of it, particulary the FAQs are very useful in helping to put coinage into context with historical incidents and changes. This is an excerpt from the site. " In 1992, the Royal Mint started to produce pennies and twopences made of copper-plated steel instead of bronze (copper has not been used since 1860!). " In the museum where I work we see a lot of coins which people think are worth a fortune, but in fact, very few of them have other than historical value.

Hi all Have just received a burial list with my mum & dad's names on, via a distant cousin. The list originated from a council bereavement services unit,. It gives the address in both cases as our family home which was correct for dad who died in 1950 but not for mum who died in 1992 in a nursing home. Does anyone know why this may be, please? For instance, do they take the information from the current electoral roll or could it just have been a case of the rest home not updating their records (mum had been there only a few months before she died). Would be quite interested to know whether it was just human error or whether or not there is a valid reason for it. regards, Maureen, NZ

Hi Ben, Would you please be able to look-up Bowley, Bradbury, and Bundy in the Hampshire Allegations for Marriage. Many thanks Sheila South Australia --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Maureen, I don't think there is any hard and fast rule about this. When my Mum died in a nursing home that was the address given on her death certificate, but when my aunt died her home address was listed on the death certificate. I can only assume it is down to whoever registers the death and the address they give - technically I suppose if your Mum still had her own home that, if well enough, she could have returned to, then that was her home address. Sadly, we had to sell my Mum's house to pay for her care, so technically the nursing home was therefore her only home at that time.
