Dear Connie I have been trawling several Parish Registers over the last year or so and have on record the name LEMMON (2 marriages) in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, in the early 1700's.... The marriages concerned are:- 27.11.1724 Susannah LEMMON married John GREEDY in St Andrews, Wiveliscombe 05.11.1733 John LEMMON married Joan COLLARD in St Andrews, Wiveliscombe I know there were other LEMMON entries and as I was not interested in them did not record them. You state that your search area will in all the surrounding counties of Somerset, however, Wiveliscombe close to the border with Devon may be a starting point.

My father, William James Lemon was born approx. August 8, or 13, 1908, in Plymouth. According to the records that we have he became a ward of the Scattered Homes of Plymouth at the tender age of 3. We have no records or trace of him from the time of his birth until his admittance into this facility. He remained here until he was transferred to the Liverpool Sheltering Homes, at the age of 15. He only remained here for a short time and than was sent to Canada as part of the Barnardo Organization. My search is for any family member of his, especially his parents. There is no birth certificate, and no birth registration for a child by that name for this time period, or this area of England.

Dear Friends, I have a list of marriages at Stalbridge for the LEMON and PARSONS names from 1691 until 1812. I had forgotten I had this until there was a rash of letters about the Lemon name on our sites. If this might plug any gaps in someone's searches, please contact me off-list and I will check through. I must beg forbearance, though - this weekend, we have visitors, so time will be limited. Hope that I help someone! Iain, in Brampton, Cumbria, a rather disease ridden locality just now!

Also, any hints or tips you would like to give me would be greatly appreciated. I will be relying on the "net" a great deal as the cost of petrol here in England is outrageous. Thank you for your time and I look forward to joining the search with all of you. Cheers! Sheila

Some of you were awake and alert enough to notice that I said the DCRO open day was Saturday SEPTEMBER 28th!!!! Goodness knows why I typed that! Still I beleive one of the Bournemouth papers also got the date wrong so I am not the only one! I'm just the only one to have delayed the event by 5 months. I think the cake might be stale by September! Of course, as you have pointed out, it is this Saturday coming - SATURDAY APRIL 28th! Several people on the Dorset and Wessex lists have told me they will be there - including Bob Stone who is a regular contributor to Dorset and who is over in the UK from Canada. Will he be the visitor who has travelled the furthest or can someone beat that? Looking foward to meeting you!

Lots more information about the DCRO Open Day! Hope some of you will be going. I will be on the S&DFHS Help Desk so do come and say hello to me! The Dorset County Record Office's 10th Birthday Open Day is on SATURDAY 28th APRIL from 10.30-3.30. Parking will be in the large car park by the RO, or in the Council Car Park or in the 'Top of Town' Car Park. Entry to the RO is free (donations always gratefully received!) Refreshments will be on sale, provided by the Friends of Dorset Archives. There will tea, coffee and cakes. Help-yourself Ploughman's lunches will be £2. There will be a big Record Office Birthday cake which will be cut sometime during the day. Somerset and Dorset FHS and the Friends of Dorset Archives (FoDA) will be selling publications. You will be able to join Somerset & Dorset FHS, Dorset FHS and FoDA on the day too. These are some of the events going on during the day: Talks (each given twice during day): Chris Wood on conserving and handling documents Ann Smith on researching family history David Reeves on researching the history of your house Jessamy Wilsdon will be giving regular demonstrations on how to trace your family history via the internet. You will be able to try your hand at : Repairing 'old documents' (distressed magazines!) Examining old parchments through a microscope, insects and all! Listening to 'Schooldays' tapes in the sound archives - and recording your own memories for posterity Deciphering old hand writing via some palaeography exercises There will be exhibitions/displays on: The Census (including 1901 & 2001) Schooldays - to accompany the tapes Cataloguing Palaeography Transcribing (Dorset FHS will be transcribing the Melcombe Regis PRs) Conservation Reprographics (digital camera, hand held cine film display, darkroom) The Parish Project Conservation A video loop will play old films The RO's 'treasures' (extra special documents & books) will also be on display. Somerset and Dorset FHS display boards will be there and a team of us will be on hand to help you with your research queries. You can also have a tour of the Record Repository There will be a seal trail for children (not the furry kind with big eyes, but the historical sort!) The children have to search for seals which will be displayed around the RO. There will be a question by each one that th children have to answer. When they have completed their trail, they will get a special certificate. I went to a meeting about the open day this morning and was impressed by the amount of hard work and organisation that had gone into planning this open day. The only unknown factor is how many people will turn up - so that's where you lot come! Living in Sydney or New York is no excuse - book your flight tickets today! Lots of things to do in Dorchester afterwards - e.g. the award winning County Museum, the RomanTown House, Max Gate, Maiden Castle, Borough Gardens, shops and cafes etc etc For more RO info see: archives@dorset-cc.gov.uk Helen Helen Jones in Weymouth, Dorset, UK List Admin Dorset-L Scammell-L hsj@melcombe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.melcombe.freeserve.co.uk/

After many tries I had to enter a false Australian address as the form was sensitive to context and word length and kept rejecting my rural route address. It would not take a blank anywhere. In the message I included my correct address and received the certs with no problem. Geoff Hallett, near Kingston, Canada

If anyone wishes to add anything - the usual rules apply - ie please write off-list! Keep your anti-virus software up to date - daily or weekly at a minimum. Don't open "any" attachment you aren't expecting - check with the sender - and if you are of a nervous disposition just delete it! If you think you may have caught this particular virus ie by opening an attachment to which the response is "File data corrupt probably due to bad data transmission or bad disk access." then DON'T switch your computer OFF. Update your virus software and run it there and then and hopefully it will clear the virus files from you hard disk and no damage will be done ie it is not until you switch off your computer and re-boot it that the virus is initiated or able to go into action. And for those who may not be aware with this virus it's the worm in the software that is initiating the e-mails not the owner - any new mail sat in the in-tray for more than 5 minutes on an infected machine will set the worm into action sending itself into the outer world. So don't flame the sender, as has happened on some lists - It could be that another user of that PC has caused the infection! For those using Outlook Express make sure you have the latest version and/or the latest patches from Microsoft. Ensure that scripting is switched off on your PC, unless you use the facility: the only other user will probably be the writer of a virus! Regards Paul Portland
