Nice website, Sandy! I've never bothered myself - wouldn't know what to put on it - but yours is top notch!

Sandie, Found your GGFather. Living in Guisbrough 1881 census with wife(Maria) and 6 children(Thomas 2nd youngest). If you want to e-mail me I`ll send you the print-out as a MS Word attachment.

It was very interesting to see the occupation of James the eldest son. An Iron Miner at thirteen!!!! Wonder what todays youth would make of that.
Jim

Noel, I bought my disc set at the Mormon temple at Chorley. They have a great, free of charge, research faciliy there with plenty of micro-fisch readers and computers. I have the full set of 1881 census CD`s and a selection of 1891 for Lancashire.

Thanks Jim, I may have a look at Preston Temple. I tried to check my Grandfather's parents by visiting the graveyard where I believed they were buried, thinking it was Dent in the Yorkshire Dales ( only one church there so easy to check on. I found out later that he was born 30 miles away, so that was a wasted trip!!! Maybe we should change this bit to a genealogy item?

Noel, Could do that. Problem is that it could run away with us! This hobby is 100% adictive.

Hi Spitfire, Hey Thanks ! for finding my great grandfather, I would really like to see the copy, I`ll send you my email address, what you said to Noel about it being addictive is so right, I think we have a Mormon temple in Perth, I`ll see if they have the discs, I thought of my grandfather who was from Abergele Conwy, but had no luck, his name was Pryce Jones and all I know is that he was born on a farm in Abergele, imagine finding a Jones in Wales. Thanks again. Sandie.

This is interesting, I just found it by chance and spent an hour going through it. "The Diary of George Walker 1861"

That should make it a good topic then Spifire. Are you related to John Hindle who lived in East Street many years ago?
