(Crossposted) I have been loaned a book entitled 'From Normandy to Hanover'. It is the story, similar to a war diary, of the 7th Battalion, the Somerset Light Infantry from June 1944 to May 1945, and contains amongst other things the complete battle honours of the battalion between those dates. The book was privately published. Before I return the volume to it's owner, I am willing to do lookups. I have crossposted this message because I know that many members of the battalion came from counties other than Somerset. 'Die dulci fruere' Ian James, Poole, Dorset, UK.

Paul, Under the present circumstances I think that this is a wise move, and I for one know that I would be grateful to know that I was not the cause of this virus spreading !! Touch wood so far, I have managed to stay clear of it !! Keep up the good work. cheers Jennifer In OZ

To everyone, My apologies for any virus infected messages you may have received from me - my PC was accidentally infected with the recent trojan virus (the party responsible for causing my PC to be infected has been dealt with!!) and so there may have been infected messages sent. I have removed the virus and hopefully it wont happen again (fingers crossed). Once again sorry, Regards Kevin Ettery

Hi Regret the following is going to be a bit contentious, however, I think list members should be aware of what I have done and intend doing. It is apparent that if a message is sent to someone who has the virus that the virus will then reply to the writer attaching itself. I have, therefore, removed a number of list members this afternoon who I know have the virus and I will remove any list member who I find has the virus in the future. I have written separately to these members and am awaiting the pay back at the present time in the form of another virus! Once a member has cleaned his/her machine they can resubscribe BUT only by writing to me - a normal subscribe message will not be accepted by Rootsweb. My apologies for this rather drastic action - but if this reduces the chances of infection and quantity of virus prompted mail I am prepared to accept that.

Wonderful people in this list have helped in the past, but we have never been able to find where the following members come from. Le me say that the family so far traced come from Martock, East Lamsbrook and Kingsbury Episcopi. The members George Bambury (1837 East Lamsbrook )and Dorcas ( Inder ) Bambury ( 1837/8 East Lamsbrook ) emigrated to South Africa in the last 1800 early 1900 (still to be proven ), now my problem lies with their oldest son Sidney George Bambury (1862 ?? ) who married Mary ( May) Rex ( 1859 ) either in England or Australia. I am looking for something to prove where he was born, as I can not pick him up from any census where his family lived. The person I would really like any information on is George M. Bambury ( ? ) he married Kezia Inder ( 09/05/1823 Kingsbury Episcopi ) It is believed that George's father was Isaac Bambury and may have come from Wiltshire, and that he had a brother Jacob Bambury amongst others and maybe sisters as well. If SKS could look up the census for the area's around Somerset and or Wiltshire I would be humbly appreciative. Best wishes from South Africa And to all thoughts that have been affected by the Foot & Mouth our prey's go out to you. Regards Ian

Could SKS please look for the following in the 1851 Census? Jane (or Mary Jane) TUCKER born 1838 at Paulton JEAN ROSS

In addition it drops a backdoor Trojan onto your computer which can compromise your security settings allowing access from the web to such as passwords etc For further information on the little beasty I would suggest that you have a look at either: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html or http://www.sophos.co.uk/virusinfo/analyses/w32badtransa.html So, in summary, as Linda said "don't panic, but do be aware: keep your anti-virus software up to date and don't open ANY attachments that you aren't expecting, even if the e-mail is from someone you know and love - check with them first to ensure they have sent you something deliberately, rather than by accident!

Since my email yesterday about Brian's bug/virus/worm, I've received SEVERAL copies of it from other people on the list. May I suggest that we all take steps to clear out our system - even if we don't think we have it.

Hello Everyone, Ann KNIGHT married Richard MALE on 21st. February 1786 at Kingsbury Episcopi. Could SKS with access to the records check the marriage entry, I would like to know the marital status of the bride and were they residents of Kingsbury or another parish. Is there an index for Baptisms at Kingsbury ? Could someone please check for a baptism of Ann KNIGHT c.1765-1770. Or check if there are any entries in the Kingsbury registers around 1765-1770 and 1786-1790 for any family of KNIGHT. (If I cannot find Anne I may be able to use others to trace her).

Hi to all researchers, My 3rd great grandfather was sent to Australia in 1829 onboard "Claudine" could SKS check the Frome records for his birth. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of information, "JOHN PAYNE born about 1812 a native of Frome" is how the Australian records record his arrival, in 1839 he applied to the local minister for permission to marry a girl under 21 yrs. of age, and didn't give any additional information on the application. I would greatly appreciate it if someone with access to the Frome baptismal register could check for a possible birth c.1811-1813. Regards to all and Thanks, Carole Wallsend, Australia Researching - CORNWALL: Tremayne, Morrish, Cock, Moyle, Tresoll, Michell, Bartle SOMERSET: Gillett, Brown, Male, Kinght, Lamb, Payne, Warner/Worner and other counties.

Hi All, Could SKS have a look at the 1851 census for Harriet WARMAN age 21. Thanks in advance. Annette South Wales

Hi All, Could SKS have a look at the 1851 census for John WARMAN born 1810 ish. Also his father John a "stone cutter" who would have to be older than 57, and that would mean he "started young". They weren't found in North Somerset as I thought they would be, so any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance. Annette South Wales

Phyllis I don't know that I have any connections with these families, but I have NIPPRESS ancestry from the Swindon area of Wiltshire. They gradually moved in a north-easterly direction during the 1800's, and eventually arrived here in Oxford. NIPPRESS seems to have been spelled in loads of different ways, and NIPPER, NIPPERED and NIPPERD are some of the more remote variants. Are you aware of any North Wiltshire connections in your research ? I posted my interest in these names on the Wiltshire-EMI list around Christmas, and got just one response - Tony Woodward very kindly sent me some 1891 census extracts. Is there anyone else out there besides Phyllis with an interest in these names ? If so, I'd love to hear from you !
