Marilyn i only found out about Great grandfather Absalom Lee when someone emailed from the DFHS and said she had been going through the Honiton Newpaper and as it was an unusal name remembered she had seen it in the DFHS.Mag and emailed it. I was so surprised as he worked on a farm and I could not understand how he sold it without having a pub. but when you look £5 was a lot of money in 1871 my Grandmother Elizabeth Ackland must have been so worried she was expecting their child that year

Hi Dormouse,

Take a look at Tips Board by Snowdrops !!

Just checked that and it looks good!! Cheers, Marilyn, that should save a few pennies - the 1911 site has been proving rather expensive for me!!

Hi Rita, - It did look a tad complicated, didn't it. I copied and pasted the instructions into a word doc, so I can print it out and refer to it as I go along!!

Ooo, we seem to have a couple of new folk, welcome.
Dormice are just sooo sweet & I don't like mice.

I broke my golden rule today. The rule being not to give my card details over the net/online. I felt that millions of other folk do it, so be a devil. I also felt it should be safe as it was renewing my Norton 360.

Oh, that's nice. I rather like whippets too!! My brother has a gorgeous one named Lady.
My middle name is Dawn but my family used to say it was Dormouse - on account of I could curl up in a ball and drop off to sleep at the drop of a hat....

Talking of hats, hoping we won't need any tin helmets and flak jackets tonight - there was some serious sniping going on last night on GR, enough even to keep a dormouse awake!

Edit: ~~ to poshpixie.

I can't remember if I mentioned that on Sunday I went back to M&S with a skirt (which was too big) & came back with another skirt & a pair of Trousers. I was chuffed that I can fit into a size 12 now(I used to be an 16/18)!!!!
