Hi Jil..I have the marriage cert, for Catherine Moran and Frederick George Foster.. Cant find the Fosters family. Dont know where Fred was born or his father Charles.. My brick wall is Catherines grandfather who is a ignoramous...I would throttle him if he was here..He was illiterate and when he got married he signed his name with a x and he has made so many mistakes with his names and where he was born etc, he has sent me crazy...I dont think he knew how to spell his surname and I think it has gone from Bartlet....to Bartle.to..Bartlett.I have been searching for the birth of Catherines mother Jemima and think I may have found it registered as Jemmima ? Bartle..and today ordered the cert.. I hope it is not a waste of money..I thought if I found a member of the family they may be able to set me straight...or crooked or go round in circles or up and down or crazy,,, nothing wrong with me ,,, do you get the impression that I am stymied and STUCK.....LOL Lara Lovely to see ya hun.. Take it easy and enjoy despite the next door neighbours...Its bbb cold down here..so stay there as long as you can...We exchanged contracts for both properties on the same day so hope we can do it on the final exchange..just so good..cant wait to move in to the new place... Really must do some sorting tomorrow.. been putting it off,,,naughty girl.... Love Maryxxx

Hi Mary, like you, you have prob found Catharine in the 1881 census but can't find her married to Freddie nor can I, the hunt is on, I love the searching, Jillx

Jill Yes I do have ancestry.. What did you fine..>??? I have all the Morans .. its the others I want to find..I need to find someone who is related th them to help me with my brick wall. I just read Gaynors thread about her mother and cant add anything as I would burst into tears.. Love Maryxx

Does bumsoddy know how much teeny little cassettes are (dictaphone type) - and where you can get them - I mean are they expensive, or should I go on ebay? I want to tape a relative's story. Jood

I'm sobbing my eyes out at the moment, went to gen and clicked on garden of memories, God this puta thing is not just virtual it creases the heart sometimes. Jillx

Spend it on Lotto, Jood, it must be lucky, lol. Whose turn is it this week? Yes, Jood, Is a 1976 Concise Oxford Dictionary that I have had since about 1980. It's done a lot of work over the years. I won't use an Australian one. Don't like the americanisations! Lew x

Funny thing happened to me. .. Picked up my mail on Friday and left it in the car - only noticed it today. .. Thought - oh oh - its a window envelope - is it a parking fine, a bill, something from the pension dept?? ........... anyway it was from NRMA - I thought - what have I done??? Praise be, it was a cheque for $47.23 and it included $2.20 stamp duty, $4.00 GST and $1.01 interest. Apparently they hadn't noticed that I had both a car insurance and house insurance with them, whereupon you get a discount. .. Silly me hadn't noticed either. .. Apologies from them - unbelievable!!! .. Nice surprise too! Lew I meant to ask you - in your tidy (very tidy) computer room, is that a dick'n mary you have on the desk (dictionary) Jood

That's exactly how it was, Jood. Some white clouds, blue sky and a rather nasty black/purple cloud coming in! I thought we were in for a nasty storm, but nothing eventuated. Lew x

Mary .. your 'Lew House' pickles have been emailed, and Lara - your 'Reb & Pam meeting' pickles have also been emailed.. Lew I meant to comment on the unusual colour of the sky in the 'outside front 2 pickle' Geez, I hope I dont sound like a know-all - am just trying to help. Jood
