Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has access to Heckfield Hants Parish Records. I have found the below living next door to my grandfather and his family in the Oxfordshire 1891 census (my transcription of original page which is very faint and difficult to read). Sched 81 *****End Cottage William Sellwood Head age 20 (or 30) agriculural lab born Theale Emma Sellwood Wife age 34 born Eckfield Berks (Heckfield) John Sellwood son age ? born Mapledurham Emma Sellwood Dauh 10mths born Eckfield(crossed out) Mapledurham Mary Jo Sellwood Neice age 12 born Ekfield George Sellwood B of L , H or S ****** age 20 Agricultural Labourer born Cookham (I think that the Bof L etc is brother of Head. ) Although obviously a relative, he is not a son as far as my research tells me so far. My interest is really in Mary Jo SELLWOOD who according to the census was born in Heckfield, but I can find no Sellwood family living there in 1881 or 1901. William SELLWOOD, in fact, died in 1892 whilst his wife Emma (nee NEW) was carrying his youngest daghter, Elizabeth. She was baptised at Mapledurham and the register noted her father's death. In 1901 Emma was at Spencers Wood with her children. If neice Mary Jo was christened at Heckfield, the birth entry might (or might not) give me some clue as to the family. Any help gratefully received. Vicki Turner

Hellooooooo everybody I have a wee inkling that someone may have asked this before...... Does anyone know how to lift certain families etc., from Family Tree Maker v8.0. To explain what I mean.....today I read my mail and someone there was inquiring after some bodies that I have and instead of being able to export those certain bods straight out of FTM and bung them into an email and send it, at the moment I have to print them, scan them into Word and then copy & paste them into an email...... There has to be a better way of doing this I'm sure... sighhhhhh Thanks Leo Researching these families: (Isle of Wight) CHARLO(W) / KNAPP / HUMBER / CHESSELL / LIST / MEW SMALL / MATTHEWS / WHITE / WILLSHER / (Hampshire) WATERS / KNAPP / EAST / FRANCIS / LOVE / (Dorset) WARREN / DAVIS / HURT / KNOTLEY / CRUMPLER / (Yorkshire) CHARLO(W) / (Scotland) MACNAUGHTAN / BRODIE / McARTHUR / McCALLUM / McKAY --------------------------------- Yahoo!

My own opinion only. "Cut the Mustard" is an Americanism. From around the 1890s to 1900. Can be positive or negative. ie. "To cut the mustard" means to come up to expectations. Can't cut the mustard means, not able to come up to standard. From my own pugilistic days, I believe "To come up to scratch". Derived from the days of bare knuckle fighting. Where the number of rounds depended on the number of times an opponent hit the dirt ring area. To start the fight, a line was drawn between the two protagonist. This was known as the mark or scratch. If during the contest one fighter was unable to get back to the scratch or mark then, the opponent was declared the winner, as the other was unable to get back to the scratch or mark. For the past 100 years this has been replaced by a ringside bell, operated by a timekeeper. I believe this was British terminology. My Great Uncle was a bare knuckle pugilist. He fought all over South Africa in the 1890s. He went by the name of Gem (Jim) Turner. He is mentioned in a book by Chris Gravenstein, called "The Fighters."

Tony Bull are you out there..? If so i was told you have family of Pitt from Christchurch in your lineage.so do I. keep on-keeping on-never quit.

Hello, In order to copy names from your FTM program onto an email, simply bring up the "Outline Descendant Tree" in your FTM program for those individuals (generations) you wish send and then from the Contents menu select the information you want to include. When you have the Outline Descendant Tree appearing the way you want, go to the Edit menu and select "Copy Outline Descendant Tree". Finally, go into your email and with the mouse pointer in the body of the email just click the right mouse button and select "Paste". That's all there is to it. Unfortunately this will not include any Notes you may have compiled on the various individuals but the Outline Descendant Tree will reflect most of the other data. Of course, you can also copy the Genealogical Reports, which can include Notes, in the same fashion explained above but, as you know, these reports are more lengthy. If you prefer you can also first copy either of the above to a word processing file (Word, Wordpad, WordPerfect, etc.) and then send the resulting document as an attachment to your email. Personally, copying directly to the email is the easiest if the information you are sending is not very lengthy. Hope this helps. Ken - Ottawa

Thanks Both Have made a note of this website as could prove useful!! Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: <Knightroots@aol.com> To: <HAMPSHIRE-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 09, 2003 1:20 PM Subject: Re: [HantsLife] Sayings Hello Chris,Caroline & all found this.... at http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxcutthe.html "cut the mustard" by Mark Israel [This is a <A HREF="http://alt-usage-english.org/fast_faq.shtml#notes">fast-access FAQ</A> excerpt.]This expression meaning "to achieve the required standard" isfirst recorded in an O. Henry story of 1902: "So I looked aroundand found a proposition [a woman] that exactly cut the mustard."It may come from a cowboy expression, "the proper mustard",meaning "the genuine thing", and a resulting use of "mustard" todenote the best of anything. O. Henry in Cabbages and Kings(1894) called mustard "the main attraction": "I'm not headlinedin the bills, but I'm the mustard in the salad dressing, just thesame." Figurative use of "mustard" as a positive superlative datesfrom 1659 in the phrase "keen as mustard", and use of "cut" todenote rank (as in "a cut above") dates from the 18th century.Other theories are that it is a corruption of the military phrase"to pass muster" ("muster", from Latin monstrare="to show", means"to assemble (troops), as for inspection"); that it refers to thepractice of adding vinegar to ground-up mustard seed to "cut" thebitter taste; that it literally means "cut mustard" as an example ofa difficult task, mustard being a relatively tough crop that growsclose to the ground; and that it literally means "cut mustard" asan example of an easy task (via the negative expression "can'teven cut the mustard"), mustard being easier to cut at the tablethan butter.The more-or-less synonymous expression "cut it" (as in "'Sorry'doesn't cut it") seems to be more recent and may derive from"cut the mustard".

I thought I would do a check see how many sites I am on...some I never hear from some I hear a lot wonder which is the most.. Hampshire!! I have counted 36 Rootsweb sites!!! I emailed Rootsweb for a complete list, wonder why I never hear from the majority of them, wonder if that is a sign that they dont approve of me or what!!! Mostly in UK. Researching these elusive Early Settlers to Carterton... Cornwall... hardly ever hear from them!!! Wonder if still functioning, or have I unsubscribed....no wonder my Inbox is busy every day!!! But if Unsubscribed, Rootsweb would not give me as on it or would they, as came off London and Norfolk, and according to Rootsweb I am not on them!!! Perhaps Cornwall is on vacation or snowed under!!! Russia. Denmark. Surrey. Hampshire.Cornwall.Lancashire.Northern Ireland. Ridley and Clan Campbell(for my family) Sunderland.Durham. the list is endless.. of course Nobility looking for that relation!!! Yes I have one folks... Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1930s... Philip Snowdon..Surrey.New Zealand. Tasmania etc....etc..Now I have said this, I will probably be snowed under with messages...good... At least being on these great sites, one meets all kinds of nice people.. good way to make friends... Surrey is a great one also... This is coming from a hot, hot, dry, Clareville in lovely New Zealand, cooler inside today than out in that sun... A few fluffs of white clouds.... I will go and open a Battenburg cake from Eastleigh. Hants...on Chris's doorstep!! loverly... Adele http://www.geocities.com/carterton_historical_society Secretary..(dogs body!)
