Oh that is very sad.My mother in law who lived in the same village as Stan and who used to pass on the local news died at the beginning of the month and had been unwell for a while so I missed this.

I think I know the book you mean Penny, and I've been racking my brains for the title. The closest I can come up with is The International Genealogical Directory.

Hi, my apologies for sending this request to the Norfolk list. It could sort of be sent to any list but the reason I've sent it here is that I believe there are members of the NFHS who will know what I'm talking about. Many years ago there was a book that acted as a directory of all sorts of things. A great deal of time before the publication deadline anyone could submit an entry of who they were, their contact details and what lines they are researching. Then, when it was published it contained sections for various bits of information, with one being a genealogists section. It wasn't just a "yellow pages" of genealogists, it had loads of info and the only copy I had ever bought, I found I was referring to pretty much on a daily basis. It was in essence a genealogy bible. Can anyone remember the title and if it's still being printed? I'm desperate to get hold of a copy and also to get back into the next issue.

Ok,forget that I asked then and thanks for being so helpful. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Penelope Blake Sent: Sunday, 20 April 2014 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NFK] Robert Watson Julie, apologies if Ive read your reply in a manner in which it was not written. Im afraid I totally agree with Pam. While the Norfolk listers are, in my opinion, amongst the most helpful and friendly people on the web, do we really need to be inundated with out of area queries. The original query makes no suggestion that its a Norfolk related family.

Hi Listerines, Can anyone help me in finding birth dates/parents etc for Robert Watson & Margaret Sheriff who were married on 10/7/1808 at All Saints Church,Newcastle -upon-Tyne? Thank you, Mike Armiger in Adelaide

While I'm sure people don't mind helping, shouldn't these Watson queries be sent to the Northumbria list rather than the Norfolk one? http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/NORTHUMBRIA.html Pam On 20/04/2014 07:30, Julie Armiger wrote: > Hi Listerines, > > > > Can anyone help me in finding birth dates/parents etc for Robert Watson & > Margaret Sheriff who were married on 10/7/1808 at All Saints > Church,Newcastle -upon-Tyne? > > > > Thank you, > > > > Mike Armiger in Adelaide > > > -------------------------------

Hi Listerines, Forget my last email,please.30 mins after posting it I found the info I wanted!! Mike Armiger

Hi Listerines, Can anyone help me to break down a bit of a brick wall that I have? I'm trying to find the parents of Daniel Watson who was born c1812 in Co Durham,he's shown as being born in c1816 in the 1841 UK census,but born in c1812 in subsequent censuses until his death in jfm 1884,Gateshead. Daniel married Grace Burton on 25/8/1832 at St Nicholas's,Gosforth. Thank you in advance, Yours sincerely, Mike Armiger in Adelaide. P.S. A VERY HAPPY EASTER TO ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON THE NORFOLK LIST.

Apparently caveo takes the dative when it means "take care of", so illis. However, the R in careo was only my invention, and I don't know if the inscription can really be read that way. Perhaps the V in caveo is definitely a V.

I think the translation should be 'I miss for ever those I have loved'. It's a question of case. The verb 'caveo' is followed by the accusative case, which would be 'Illos', but 'careo' always takes the ablative case, which is 'illis'. 'Careo' can also mean 'to be without' or 'to be destitute of'. I suppose, therefore, that the meaning might just be that, buried as he is 'in a foreign field', he is for ever separated from those whom he has loved. An interesting quotation.

It seems an wonderful sentiment.
