    3. Thanks to those helpful people who found James Shaw WALKER on Ancestry as James Shaw WACKER. In reply to Roy, I should perhaps have asked for the reference information only from FindMyPast that would have allowed me to find the image on Ancestry, for which I do have a fully paid up subscription. Some of us find paying for two subscriptions a little pricey but I will bear in mind your comment about finding another hobby - I guess genealogical research is just for the wealthy in your books. And I won't even go into the volunteer hours I spent indexing pieces of census records in the past, long before Ancestry or Find My Past had them, so that other people could look up their ancestors. By networking via this list and having people with a subscription to one service help others who have a subscription to another service and thereby correcting information that is in error seems a service to genealogy in general. Cheap and despicable, Jane

People do not come on this list to be insulted. There are ways and means of pointing out someone's mistake in asking for something, if they have made a mistake. Cheap and despicable insults are not it.
