I think there is a little too much nit picking going on here. So, someone makes a mistake. We are only human and not perfect. Let it go. Be thankful for what we have in our great administrators and helpers on this site.

What a shame that I, a first-time poster, didn't fully understand the correct procedure for responding. I have to tell you that I was not brought up with computers, and the jargon used in 'instructions', etc, sometimes leaves me reeling. Nonetheless, in replying to Mary's post, I quoted what was shown as the 'subject' in her message. Even if both she and I were at fault, it is worth pointing out that I was responding to her message in Vol.5, Issue 343, which asked for information on the subject of 'Quarter Sessions.' The subject of Montgomeryshire didn't arise. Despite all this, I remain a faithful reader of the Digest, and send my sincere thanks to John Ball (and associates) for the work that goes into this business.

I agree (too much nit picking that is). And it wasn't 'the antipodes' where feathers were ruffled. It was only in Australia - a minor part of the antipodes... As Kiwis we are used to ignoring the ruffling and huffling that goes on across the ditch! My thanks also to the administrators and helpers on this site. Whilst we are sweltering in Christmas heat, we are thinking of you poor frozen souls up there. I hope you are not at Heathrow waiting, and waiting... Best wishes for the coming year.

Isn't calling Oz a "minor part" Fighting words?? LOL Please Ronald post, the more you post the more you (and we) learn. As I keep saying I am only on this list trawling for my 2Xggf and I have no extra knowledge of the area. I would love to hear more of the economics of the area. I would love to see the posting of old or new obits that pertain to people from the area. I must be driving some people nuts with my Malmesbury posts but by gosh I have the information (there was a huge Malmesbury and surrounding villages emigration to Cleveland Ohio and every time I fall over one,) I post it. I have searched the death certificates with the term Malmesbury and then I misspell it wildly but not as creatively as the recorders <G> If there is a town in the area you want to try http://dxsrv4.cpl.org is the Necrology put together by the Cleveland Public Library and cpl.org will let you get to it. I just found these pathetic two using Merthyr: Id#: 0604051 Name: Lewis, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Date: Jul 6 1957 Source: Cleveland Press; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #129.

Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, Mrs. Lewis was brought to this country when she was four by her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davies. She was married to William G. Lewis, a steelworker, in the early 1890's. He died more than 40 years ago. Mrs. Lewis had served as an officer of the local chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She belonged to Euclid Avenue Baptist Church for more than 40. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Edward Kemper and Mrs. Baldwin; two sons, A. Wayne of Fond du Lac, Wis., and William G. of Detroit; a brother, David A. Davies; two sisters, Mrs. Rachel Miller and Miss Jennie Davies; three grandchildren and a great-grandson.
