Hi All, Did my eyes deceive me or was the surname CORNISH mentioned on the list a short time ago, suffering from an abominable flu virus I must have deleted it before I took in all the info. If the person who's researching that name would get in touch I have at least one CORNISH lady marrying into one of my lines.

I obtained a copy of a family tree for my SHOBBROOK forebears about 2 years ago from Exbourne. There was a gap in the tree for baptisms at North Lew between William who was christened on 1 April 1724 and Thomas in 1741. However there was a note to the effect that some records were lost in a fire at Ashbury House in 1877. Is it correct that these were records lost, please? Do bishop's transcripts exist and if they do, how is it possible to access them, please? TIA Adrian Yorkshire Researching Devon - LUSCOMBE, SHOBBROOK, PERRIAM, PITTS, QUICK & CORNISH.

Many of the listers have asked questions about photos, how to date or identify and I thought they would enjoy these links.

We also run a Risc PC - and used to run the Ant Internet Suite with Fresco as the web browser. There is nothing you can do about your problem as long as you continue to use Fresco. I recently bought the Oregano web browser from Castle Technology. It is a lot more stable than Fresco and is still being actively developed, although it doesn't yet have a cache, and some other features. It will cost you about £60, but the big advantage is that you can set it to fake Netscape or Microsoft. I use this to get into FamilySearch. You can get a trial copy of Oregano from http://www.castle.org.uk You can also use Oregano with all the other components of the Ant Internet Suite. If you decide to get the full version I can help you to install it if you have any problems. Rosemary, Northumberland PS I am not connected in any way with Castle Technology, but I have been using a Risc OS computer for 3 years and not only that, my son knows all about it!
