Apologies for a whopper mistake - I should have given the Birth/ Bapt. date as 1775, in Longbridge Deverill. Sandra. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

Hello Sandra, This fellow is shared by many. Lately I have been trying to connect him to a family in Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire. Solomon  b.1875 is the middle child of seven. Other siblings marry in the area. He fits well and has no traces in Wiltshire beyond his baptism - not even a burial - but I can't prove anything. The Wiltshire names are so similar...

Hi List, I am enquiring for a cousin of mine who is descended from Solomon Dunford who married Letitia Adams in Northwood 23 Oct 1757. Has anyone ever taken this line back any further? I seem to remember on a visit to the IOW record office many years ago that I checked the card index and there was no sign of Solomon being baptised on the island. There are a number of Solomon Dunford's on the IGI born in Wiltshire. Has anyone ever established a link? Kind regards Sandra

Thanks to the 45 people who have emailed since Gran died ! I can't thank you all individually but you know who you are. Someone asked me if Grans secret was a glass of sherry every day... no ! She was Irish Presbyterian and prided herself on being an abstainer but she did like at lest one meal of fish and chips every week and hand baked Irish tatty bread WEEKLY up until turning 103 :-) and passed the art down 5 generations !

Most of you will recall my husbands amazing grandmother turning 103 last year - she passed away late last night 3 months short of 104. Apparently she had a coughing fit whilst eating her dinner then collapsed but came around when the ambulance arrived and managed to speak a few words. Later she spoke to one of her other daughters and the rest of the family were called in to say goodbyes. She died before they arrived. She had a marvellous innings and thank God she did not suffer at the end.

Hi Janet I so wish my RANNs had followed the naming convention - it would have helped. Instead they just chose any of a few names at total random - or so it appears ;-) I'm not sure about Marga's family - it's going to pretty difficult to find her Archibald Riddle Thanks Kate -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Janet Sent: 23 April 2008 10:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IoW] archiebald riddle The repetition of first names to which you refer suggests your family followed patronymics, or, in Scotland, "Naming Patterns".

Hi Marga With so little information, it can only be a guess, but I think he may have been from Scotland. If you do a search on the IGI using http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_I GI.asp&clear_form=true it finds 25 people called Archibald RIDDLE born between 1750 and 1790 and they're all born in Scotland. Obviously it could be none of these, but certainly with my family, the first names given tend to repeat within a branch and/or location. There are RIDDLEs in Hampshire too, but I can't see any Archibalds. I think I'm right in saying that there were soldiers stationed on the island from all over the British Isles - someone on this list will certainly have more knowledge of this than I have. Have you got any other information or clues about Archibald? He sounds rather interesting :-) Best wishes Kate in sunny Devon, UK always seeking my RANNcestors, everywhere. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marga Sent: 22 April 2008 09:29 To: [email protected] Subject: [IoW] archiebald riddle Hoi I am looking for the parents of Archibald Riddle.

Hi Trish (Kate, your 7th cousin here) I've looked at every source I can think of too, without any luck. I checked the 1911 Kelly's, but it didn't have enough detail to show all houses in Heathfield Road. Has anyone on this list got a more recent copy of Kelly's to check for Norbreck?

A tongue in cheek view of family history, Carole in Canada A little girl asked her mother: How did the human race appear? The mother answered: God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made. Two days later she asks her father the same question. The father answered: Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race was developed. The confused girl returns to her mother and says: Mom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says they were developed from monkeys. The mother answers: Well dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, while your father told you about his side.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign in now!

Hi, I save the image to my desk top then drag it into my photo editing crop it, save it back to my desk top as a J peg, then open a word or works doc minimize page half way down then drag the image on to it, (this can be done with several images, but make sure that the curser is on the right of the image,I have used this for family photos) adjust size then print.
