Are you running WinXP Peter? Google has no trouble finding Win95/98 drivers for that scanner and the Epson web site explicitly says you should use the Windows 2000 driver on XP - of course they don't list Windows 2000 for that device but since it's the same driver download for 95/98/NT3.1/NT4 I'd go for that. = Malcolm. -- Malcolm Austen -- malcolm.austen.rw@weald.org.uk

Dear all, I,m still trying to brush of the dust off this Uniform ! Geoff tells me that it is still on view at http://www.wedmore.org.uk/photo.htm If you think you can help, Please have a look... Bye the noo eddy in bavaria

As far as I can remember jurors had to be the owners of a property above a certain rateable value (nowadays it would be a council tax band).This effectively excluded most of the young, the working people, and women. I can't remember when it changed.

A few weeks ago there was a discussion on scanners. I did not take much notice at the time. My Epson GT6500 has given excellent service for the last 10 years but the Apple Mac (which is networked to my PC) has just died. I cannot get a driver for the PC for the Epson. I would like a A4 usb scanner (would prefer A3 if not too expensive). Resolution is important for scanning photographs. Suggestions please. Peter

Hello Eddy, As a new member of the SOG, I don't know the address of Geoff's homepage, but it sounds like the photo depicts a 'pill-box' hat belonging to a member of the 62nd (Wiltshire) Regiment of Foot.

In the C20 the letter 'J' appeared in the electoral registers after some voters' names. Does anyone know of a definitive account of what was meant by 'J' at different times, how the details were obtained and the assessment was made, what criteria were applied, what changes occurred throughout the years, etc. Peter Turvey 032191

There are also cases quoted of women bearing children for their barren sisters. But I do accept that the female line is much more likely to be genetically true than the male one.

Just a suggestion... "Declare and Pronounce" is, I think, a religious phrase (Book of Common Prayer?) which I suspect at that time would have been familiar enough to be worth abbreviating. It seems to fit the context, anyway. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Randell [mailto:Brian.Randell@newcastle.ac.uk] > Sent: 28 May 2005 15:15 > To: SOG-UK-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [SoG] A court record query > > Hi: > > Attempting a reply to my own question, I belatedly wonder whether "& > P" should be transcribed as "&c"?
