ITV, 9pm. There's only a couple of weeks or so left to run now. I don't particularly like opera, but it has been interesting watching well known actors and pop stars training to compete by singing opera songs and it's amazing what good voices they have.

Of course I hire out the throne it pays for the upkeep of the ark and it's fuel LOL. Well if John Terry can hire out a private box at Wembley for lots of dosh why shouldn't I cash in too LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAZ AND EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE MISSED!

:_)))))))))))))))))))))

Just back from the birthday fly past over Maz's in the Ark. What a wonderful sight we must have been, Boakins hanging over the side waving streamers and ballooons, all cp's singing Happy Birthday, Sweetpea in charge of the laser show I do hope his aim was good. LOL. It has completely worn me out so I am off to my bed. Sleep well one and all x

lol - glad you had a good outing.

I'm too awake to go to bed, but too tired to do anything constructive ;-(

Oh it is so quiet. Must be sleeping off the excitement of yesterday. Good to have the CPS all back at Nut Lodge again.

I hoope LG completed the hiring agreement for the throne. Just think we might be able to lease sections of Nut Lodge to fire and rescue conventions, and football end of year celebrations, and royal garden parties.

morning all
well here we are saturday ,chores ,shopping and frogs
,I had a lovely day even though i was at work we had shloer and cake ,then my son brought a cake up to the drop in and spilled the beans ,we were busy too lol
why does house work have to be done lol i enjoy fam history want to find the rest of the trail now .was thinking about a two week trial on one of the biggies to get all these marriages around the 1900 that dont show on free BMD

Maz before you commit to that much expense, and I must admit it is handy, take a look at the LDS Family Search site. It is free and does have marriages after 1900.

Also in the case of SR Oliver aka Evans. You will still be searching Oz for a while. And this one will not be easy because of the date involved. "A" is almost useless in these searches. It only goes as far as 1954 with the electoral rolls and concentrates on the convicts in the past.

For the more recent searches, within the last 100 years we need to use BDMs and other sources.

thanks aunty
they do free trials for a 2 weeks as long as you remember to cancel i did it when i was off sick and gleaned all i could
i have loads of walls that stop about 1900 .i would do it at a time when i can devote the time to search

Aunty is right Maz, I've found a lot of things on LDS that I couldn't find on Ancestry.

Ancestry is good and I wouldn't be without it, but it's expensive.

Sorry I had to edit that because I put LG instead of Aunty.

It's an age thing!!!

Hi all, Lke Pauline I could not be without Ancestry but there are loads of free sites too. It is amazing what you can get from Local Family History groups too. I have one who I contacted and one member got back to me no rephrase is still sending me loads on my OH's family. It is also worth a good google as I found Old Bailey Records relating to my G.Grandad. He was not the criminal but a policeman giving evidence. fascinating reading that site I dare not use it very often as I get stuck on there for hours.

All the ones i am after are in the sunset lol The LDS what date does that go up to cos i cant find any i am after its the 1900 -late 1900 s family
I will have to be very patient its like my constantines they exist i have names but no dates all my aunts on dads side are not there it seems that maybe sussex is not well listed .I belong to the Sussex FHG and nosey on the weald my grt x 4 grandad has about four stories lol back in 1793
i know you folks are good but i hate pestering

What Constantine names are you looking for Maz?


In Ancestry, I typed Constantine in the surname box and Sussex in the place box - 113,910 names came up.

hello an Anthony Constantine he married Anna lois oliver ? 1921 might be Harry they had a son also Anthony 1943 he married Higgins I think these are hastings area just would like the dates of the events and if there are kids around still
these are all my mums foster family .Aunty found Sarah Rowley and still chasing her ,
my skills are very poor on search methods i just get limited time to spend on here its so addictive am trying to catch up with some jobs lol

Removing this info before I get pink custard tossed at me.

thanks aunty was in the records ,I had the names just no real dates and we were working them out
he married in london i think

This one is gone now as well.

that might be him cos son is w he was an artist and married a lois elizabeth foster

Going to look for a cushion now because the naughty step is cold.
