Hi Tony my email address seems to be wrong in your system probably my typing Should be colinwhitelock@ns.sympatico.ca Colin Whitelock Milford Station Nova Scotia Canada

Hi Bazzer, I don't know if he is buried there but there is a memorial plaque to Charles Valentine Clark, Second class passenger aged 29 at the church of St Peter and St Paul, Wymering. My book says Wymering is in Sussex, but I know that it is in Hants. My other book says that he came from Grange Lane, Netley and boarded the Titanic at Southampton. Obviously, he may have been one of those whose bodies were never found. Yours Vicki Turner

Hi Colin, My replies to you are bouncing.Thanks for the Titanic Photos they are great. Now all I have to do is find out where Charles Valentine Clarke is! regards Bazzer Portchester Fareham Hampshire England http://www.clarkeology.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Valerie Had a quick look for Beavis in the Australian Vital Records there are a few. Who was the wife do you know. There are a couple of Roberts one with a wife Elizabeth and one with Sarah. Both had numerous children Some NSW and some Vic.So if you can furnish me with a bit more info it may help narrow your search as to which state you need to cover.

Thought this might amuse some of you, it was sent in by David Parker Chris and Caroline Is this how "the pint" came about? Dear Gentlemen: I couldn't resist this one, either. Is this how the "pint" came about? "Earl Roberts and soldiers' drinking," Inverness Courier, Nov. 18, 1902, p. 5c. "On Saturday the following order was issued on War Office authority: -- 'It was been brought to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief that a practice prevails in many canteens of serving malt liquors in large measures, from which parties of soldiers drink together. Earl Roberts is of opinion that such a practice tends to induce habits of excessive drinking, and therefore directs that in future malt liquor is not to be served in canteens in any larger measure than a pint. An alteration in the 'Rules for the management of refreshment branches of garri- son and regimental institutes,' giving effect to the above order, will shortly be issued, but in the meantime the above instructions are to be acted upon. Earl Roberts is further of opinion that the introduction of glass measures containing half-a-pint and one pint, instead of the cans now in general use, would conduce to the comfort of the men, and directs that their introduction should be gradually effected as funds permit.'" --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Sheila, I looked at the free BMD to see if they had it but apparently the server is too busy dealing with other requests. I am not surprised - this site now has so many records that more and more people are on it. However, it's 5.25 p.m. here in L.A. which is 1.25 Sunday morning in the U.K. - The server was fine last week - at this non-peak time I'm surprised. Maybe they are doing tests. I hope we don't get into the same situation as the 1901 census. Anyway, try freebmd.rootsweb.com - otherwise try the general records or an LDS site. Did the IGI have a regular batch number - e.g. C followed by 6 numbers? If so it shoudl be correct but if it doesn't it means it has been sent in by someone and you need to treat it suspiciously.

Not too sure on this Ron But Legacy is the programme that I use and they have a quick and helpful support service. Just click the HELP button and you should find support in there. They also do a great newsletter every two weeks and it is worth subscribing to it as they bring up loads of issues that can be done with the progamme in step-by-step stages.

Hello Everyone, I am going to Australia next month and I wish to find some information about my ancestor Robert Beavis and his family who went to Australia in 1854 on the "Tantivy". I will be visiting Sydney,Melbourne,Adelaide, NT and Queensland.I know that his son Samuel was born in Australia, and he came back to England with his Father but I would like to know anything about the family whilst in Australia and if his wife retuned to England or not. Please could someone point me in the right direction ? Regards Valerie

Has anybody sent us a large envelope in the past month as we had notification that it could not be delivered due to excess postage having to be paid? We had intentions of picking it up last week but with the problem with the hospital and not being able to get around we could not collect it, and now the Post Office say they have returned it.

Have a copy of my Grt. Grandparents Marriage Certificate, for the year of 1845 in the Parish of Southampton, which shows her name as Sarah MALT in one place and MALLT in another place. She obviously could not write as she signed with an "X" She was born Sarah MALT ??? at Bullington, Hampshire and was married at the Parish Church there to George ROGERS, born 1820 at Broughton, Hampshire, although it appears he was living at Bullington at the time of the marriage. Her Father was Thomas MALT ??? of Bullington, does anyone have any connections to this name or a variation of the name. Any suggestions gratefully received.
