Hi everyone,
Would just like to say Happy New Year to you all. Poor Tony is by now probably wondering why he ever made the offer as it would appear that we are all raving bonkers  O.K. I take it back as it is probably only me that is heading for the happy home - and is it any wonder?
Fire Spit indeed
Cheers,
Mo

Hi Floks
Not bothering to change the typo I rather like it, always fancied being a shepherd
Well I've been for my helping of Fish & Chips tonite at M\c Library and not sure what I've got. No great announcement but possibly one new address 
Went for the Salford City Reporter rather than M\c EN
Hi Tony
We have the deaths of the following people...
.... Margaret Ellen Smyth died 19/08/1944 aged 86 buried 21/08/1944
Copy 25\8\44 Interred at Weaste cemetery, Margaret Ellen Smyth of Snowden St, Broughton age 86
.... James Smyth died 22/02/1927 aged 64 buried 25/02/1927
Copy 05\03\04 Interred at Weast cemetery James Smyth of chapel St, Salford age 64
.... James Smyth buried 01/06/1904 aged 69
Copy , oops didn't note (sloppy!) James Smyth of George St. salford age 69
.... George Smyth buried 07/11/1895 aged 34
Zilch
.... Elizabeth Smyth buried 01/02/1887 aged 51
Zilch 2
.... William Smyth buried 13/08/1881 aged 14

I can't see Snowden St on previous replies is it new? Also did a search of Lancs board and there is no reference so perhaps it is. Let me know
Cheers
Tony

Hi Annie,
No i haven't caught up with Ken yet 
Didn't take copies because it would really have been a waste of time, effort and money. The quality of the images can be quite poor, even more so on the margins (fold) of the paper where these references came from. I had turn the images through 45 degrees to get them to the centre of the screen and try to coax them into focus, and then they could only be viewed by standing on one leg on the chair, with my tongue sticking out like a child copying his homework with a blunt pencil 
All the information came from list of interments for Weaste Cemetery in the personal ads. No announcements or acknowledgements of next of kin, just the information I have given. I went a few weeks forward and back from the dates given but nothing. Is it worth trying the M\c paper, is it likely announcements would be there because of M\c rellies, let me know and I'll put them back on the list.
Can't find any ref to Snowden St, Broughton so far apart from 2004 post on Rootschat re 1891 census. Must have gone in the slum clearances 
Cheers
Tony

Hi Dave,
How does Catch 22, go again?
The only way to get out is to plead insanity, except if you are you would never admit it and therefore you can't get out    
cheers
Tony

It's all gone very quiet here, so I just had a quick look and mine is the only contributor's light on Does that mean you've all been picked up by the men in white coats And am I the only one left
Perhaps they are coming for me next
Better turn my light off, close the curtains, lock the doors and catch you all tomorrow. Oh forgot you've already all been caught

I am still trying to find out what his tattoo said.
I think you'll find it said: "here enter who ye all hope abandon"?
I've found Snowden St on an old A-Z (I used it to escape the men in white coats). Very close to Northumberland St, which housed a care home or hospital did somebody discover?
It's the 'Sno'n St' joining Rigby St and Bradshaw St.

Hello everyone
I hope that you have all enjoyed your period of convalescence from this thread and that you are now sufficiently recovered to try and make some more progress
As Annie and Mo are already aware, I invested in a copy of the BVRI with the primary intention of looking at the Ireland entries to see if there was anything of interest.
I have now found something which looks very interesting (to me) and I have started a new topic on the Antrim board which shows the details....
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,281570.msg1649861.html#msg1649861
The people may not be ours but they look like very strong candidates to be the parents of the Briggs Street family and (at the very least) we now have a specific place in Ireland to concentrate on.
Fingers crossed
DS

Wow DS what a gorgeous new avatar  How's a girl to concentrate with him in the corner?
But thank goodness we don't have to look up the 1,975 Smyths on the Dublin census
Happy new year!
Barbara

Belfast Parish Register Published
Next Thursday, in St Anne’s Cathedral, the Dean of Belfast, Dr Houston McKelvey, will launch the publication of the Register of the Parish of Shankill, Belfast, 1745-1761 which is the tenth volume in the now well established Representative Church Body Library parish register series.
The old parish of Shankill encompassed the town of Belfast in the middle of the eighteenth century and its register records many of the residents of Belfast, both Church of Ireland and non-conformist, before the town developed into the great industrial centre for which it is best known. Some of the names are well known in the history and development of Belfast but for others this register is the only evidence of their existence. The church in which the register was compiled no longer survives. It was replaced in the late eighteenth century by a new parish church, itself subsequently demolished, on the site of the present St Anne’s Cathedral where the original register is still preserved. The register is the oldest surviving Church of Ireland parish register for Belfast.
This register has been edited by Professor Raymond Gillespie from NUI Maynooth and Ms Alison O’Keefe, a former graduate assistant in the RCB Library, and will be available from the Good Bookshop in Donegal Street, Belfast at £10, or direct from the RCB Library, Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14, at €15
I'll be back later to see what kind of havoc I can cause !!
Annie

Gosh.
I skipped this thread after page 1 because I thought it was just about fish and chip shops. How wrong can you be? I'm hooked now because I used to live in Seaford Road (Sorry, I don't know a Mr Laws).
Just to add my two pennorth (of chips), regarding newspapers and death notices. Salfordians would put death announcements in the MEN (maybe because it's a daily whereas the Reporter is/was a weekly), but these would have be paid for, so if your burials are in a common grave (which I can't remember because I lost track) suggesting that funds were short, maybe they wouldn't have shelled out for an ad in the paper.
