Mike, No doubt you have seen the FreeBMD entry: Emily Georgina BROWN at Marylebone (Middlesex) - Vol 1a, Page 520 In the Dec 1870 quarter Peter Hello List, May I have a lookup? I am trying to locate the DOB & POB of Emily Georgina BROWN who married Charles William MALLETT. A marriage in Hampstead OctQ 1899 looks right. Charles appears to have died in Yorkshire in 1905. The index entry is: 1905 Oct Q, Knaresbrorough 9a 77. A lookup of DOD & POD for Emily would also be helpful. You may also find a marriage of an Emily Georgina BROWN to Carl H. J. Lange. I'd appreciate knowing if the birth date of EGB in this marriage matches the birth date of Emily in the CWM-EGB marriage in 1899, As she was widowed from Chas. MALLETT in 1905, she would probably have still been in her 20's. And in the pics I have of her, her appearance shows she would have had no trouble attracting a new husband. She was my mother's favorite aunt -- Aunt Emmy.. Thanks Mike in Calif.

I am absolutely amazed at the response off-line of those eager and willing to be involved in this, so please bear with me if I have not replied individually as it will obviously take a day or more to do so to all who have reciprocated. This was a bit of a shock having so many reply so soon. Seems quite a lot of people out there on these lists want to write up their family history, not only as a final result, but as an ongoing journal for their relatives to cling onto. Seems to me that this the way to go so as to involve all in your project. And because of this you get feedback from your local rels and your distant rels. If you keep them currently involved they will appreciate it more than you simply publishing a book at the so-called 'end' of your research. It's an ongoing, involved work of art and should be treated as such. The only way forward in genealogy is to keep your new found relatives continually interested. And they will love you for that, believe me. That is why a newsletter or journal is so important in holding new-found relatives together and indeed in getting some of the younger generations involved. Cheers Graham

Congratulations, Graham. It is a very worth while cause and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. I have not been amis in getting all of our family history out to our relatives either. Have done a PAF format tree with over 2,000 individuals which had at least 75% photos attached, going back to 1730. My Grandfather was a very prolific writer of poetry (over 100) and I have typed all these and put them on a CD and dispensed them to 3 continents. He also wrote the words and/or music to 40 songs. Some of these were sung at pretty prestigious celebrations, ie Opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the visit of Duke of Gloucester in 1934. On these two occasions these songs were sumg bt 10,000 & 12,000 schoolchildren. This was in addition to being in the NSW State Parliament for about 46 years. Once again, congratulations on sharing this with us.

Dear All I have been publishing via black & white print and mail out and recently also colour PDF my little family history journal Genetree since 1976 - usually about 20 pages, but this December 2010 issue only 16 - must be slowing down, eh? :-|. Anyway, it has always gone out about three times per year to family and friends, about 85 copies, generally 3000kb PDF which downloads on broadband in a few seconds - much slower on dial up, natch. Anyway, I thought, why keep this to myself and the close family? There is nothing commercial in this, simply a private journal or newsletter which has been going on all these years which I originally thought would run out within a couple of years given limited research facilities, but no, it keeps on. Amazing that - research never seems to stop no matter how many brick walls are out there. The only reason -- apart from trying not to be selfish -- I am putting this on the list is so that others may get the bug and perhaps do the same for their own family history. It is a real thrill to see your own publication finally printed off or sent online to rels and other interested parties. I always keep copies and master copies printed off and also ensure that CD/DVD copies are kept as well. Genetree also goes to a few libraries around the world, so it's history with photos shall be kept safe and secure. So, if you are a little creative and have some spare time why not do the same? Why not surprise your relatives and other close folk with a little publication of your own. All you need is a desk top publishing programme or you can use Microsoft Works or Microsoft Publisher if you have the funds to extend to that. MS Word may be all you need although some other products give you further ease of publication. And there is lots of help out there on the internet showing you how to design and print off your publication. For me it is thrilling, hope so for you too if you get the bug to do it. A little warning. It is some work and you may find it taking up more of your time than you expected, but in my mind it is well worth it in terms of satisfaction. Try it out. You have nothing to lose except some of your missing brick wall ancestors! Email me OFF-LIST for a recent copy of Genetree. Good luck Graham Melbourne Oz

Hello List, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year >From Anne

I agree with Graham regarding family publication I started writing mine family newsletter in 1996. I jest recently completed number #38 Initial goal was to share my family history gleanings, and hopefully interest others on my family tree. I believe we have been sucessfull attaining these goals Initially I printed and mailed all the copies, but when the mailing list started approaching 50 copes and with increasing postage costs, I ceased surface mail and now have the issues available on line as "pdf" format. For those interested. www.chinnery.info click on genealogy, access to the index is about half way down. The first 31 issues also have onlien a composite index to all information. In closing How do we separate or make a distinction between family history, genealogy, and our memoirs? I contend that you can't, they are all one and the same. Genealogical data may comprise the "begets", but historical background and information depicting our lives and that of our ancestors is family history and makes genealogy "come alive". We may elect to present the resulting information as our memoirs or family history, but the end result is the same "we have preserved for our descendants a record of their past".

Hello Nivard Thank you for helping me with the address I will be able to start on my Luck family. Wishing you a Merry Christmas & New Year Hazel in NSW

Oh Nivard they were fabulous. I had not realised that Bovril, advertised on one of the vehicles, was around that early.

Hi Nivard, Thank you for this. The films are fabulous - and some early ones in colour! Re the snow clips - All I can say is bring back steam trains to keep things running, and encourage the general public to help clear snow - to get some exercise in <BG> Also, re the snow - I will never forget the 1963 winter. I was a school in Canterbury and recall seeing Whitstable Harboure frozen over. Also, a water tower opposite the school had a 100 foot icicle below a split in the tank side. A photo of the tank appeared on the front cover of a 1963 Winter booklet produced by The Guardian. I am sending this while a sever weather warning is being broadcast. With best wishes for a WHITE Christmas & a happy New Year.

Not to mention dodging around all the "deposits" on the roads whilst keeping and eye out for the traffic. No zebra crossings nor traffic lights neither! great images from the past especially as my great grandfather was a "carman" in the thick of it at the time, cheers Bob in Sunny Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nivard Ovington" <ovington1@sky.com> To: <middlesex_county_uk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2010 6:52 AM Subject: Re: [MDX] Old London Street Scenes (1903) u tube > Great aren't they > Good grief wasn't it busy? > > Its a wonder more weren't injured in all the traffic > Having quite a few cab and fly drivers I can see they earned their corn eh > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > >

Good morning Can some one give me the rootsweb site for Leicestershire I have checked but there are a couple and I am unsure. Wishing all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Hazel in NSW

Bovril developed in the 1870s by John Lawson Johnston, stayed in that family for decades - descendant became Lord Luke, promoted Rome Olympics and presented prizes. My first job was secretary to chief accountant at Old Street London factory. Good film though. My induction at the company included similar historic footage together with film of the million-acre holdings in Argentina where the beef came from (1960s). Nostalgia mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
