To correct the link go back into that reply and click 'modify'
You can then change ondex to index 
Add the word edited or added at the bottom to show it's been corrected or Aghadowey's next post will look silly

Hi Carol18353
Aah, Carol, thanks for that........I've wondered for ages how members edit their posts. How silly can one be, I should have noticed the 'Modify' button before!!!!
But........I got all excited when I saw there was a reply from you, as I thought you had worked out the distant relationship between weech and myself!!
Frightened to use the smileys now, as they jinxed me, and both yesterday and to-day, at times when I clicked on a smiley, they deleted my whole reply!!
Cheers

Yep the link works
Well done!
If you have a very long post to submit,and your internet connection is a bit iffy. Type it up as a word document first and then copy and paste it in.
Press control and V together.
Saves you worrying about losing it and having to swear at the computer lol

Hello Weech
Thank you SO much for your email, I'm busy with the reply, as I post here! 
Just had a quick check here to see if our relationship had been solved, before I sent my reply to your email............perhaps, if I checked back and found the relationship calculator posted, you could make an attempt? I think the relationship calculator details were given on another board, on RootsChat, (which I was going to refer you to, later to-day, along with some of my other "Aitken" threads), ........
Author, Mamakaz, Scotland, Lanark, "Charles Bruce Aitken".
Cheers

Hi Danchaslyn.
Had a look at your complicated relationship to Weech. As far as I can see you are not related at all. Both you and Weech are 2nd cousins to Robert Aitken and Carĝline Lobbs grandchildren. You on the Aitken side and Weech on the Lobb side.
Sombody correct me if I,m wrong.
Mary.

Hello Mary
That's very, very interesting, and I thank you. I realise that weech and I are related by marriage and I phoned and asked a friend in a distant town, to attempt to do what you have just achieved.
The results were inconclusive as apparently it was almost impossible to try to match up myself as a great niece/nephew of Sir Robert Aitken, and weech being a grandchild of Sir Robert Aitken's, wife's sister!
Well done, Mary, and it will be interesting to see if someone else concurs.
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Helo all and thank you for all your contributions. I was born in India in 1945, my father, John Cecil Gordon Walsh was born in Allahabad in 1906, and his father, Cecil George was also born in Allahabad in 1881. He married Ellen Lobb, sister of Caroline Aitken, in 1900. That was about as much as I knew although my father's papers had reference to Marjorie Grace Aitken, his first cousin. She married George Elliot Bleck in Bombay in the 1920's From your information it appears that John Ellis Aitken from St Ives was also a first cousin. Our family returned from India in 1948 to Bedford, not far from St Ives

Hello Cousin weech
How absolutely fascinating your early life in India must have been!
And thank you so much for connecting your paternal grandmother Ellen Lobb, through her sister, Lady Caroline Aitken, nee Lobb, to us.
How fortunate that your father had info in his papers on Marjorie Grace Aitken, and she is of course, the younger sister of John Ellis Aitken (son of Sir Robert and Lady Caroline Aitken of Bombay, India).
Both Marjory Grace Aitken and John Ellis Aitken, as children travelled backswards and forwards from India - Scotland, and spent a lot of time growing up, being educated by their grandparents, John and Grace Aitken of West Linton, Scotland.
How very interesting that Marjory married and became Mrs Bleck.
Cheers
Danchaslyn

As per kind info from "weech"...........
Cutting from The Times of India, undated:
The wedding of the week in Bombay has been at Malabar Hill of Marjorie Grace Aitken, daughter of Lady Aitken, and the late Sir Robert Aitken, to Lieutenant Charles Elliot Bleck of the 2nd Sherwood Forresters.
Wedding dress is then described and mention is made of the wedding being held at the All Saints Church.
Cheers

Marriage cert of Theophilus Lobb shows his father as Ellis Goode Lobb. They appear on the 1851 census aged 8 and 44 respectively living at 148 Cheapside, London. That is between St Pauls and the Bank of England. His father is described as a Hosier and presumably had a shop there. Ellis was born in Islington and his wife, Anne Mary, then aged 48, is said to have been born in Gosport. They appear to have been comfortably off as they had a housemaid and a cook. Some of the shop workers also appear to have lived there. However did Theophilus land up in Peshawar?

Hello weech
What mysteries these searches throw at us!
Yes, just how did Theophilus get to India and be doing what he did?!
Also, is it safe to assume then that the Lobb family were English then?
Interesting that about 90 years after Ellis Goode Lobb's birth, his son, Theophilus' daughter Caroline, incorporates the Ellis family name in her first born son's names, .......John Ellis Aitken.
Cheers

Hello
Especially for Laurina.........knowing how fond you are of St Ives and having such wonderful knowledge of the area........
"Weech" said that his grandmother, Ellen Lobb, whilst living in India, was educated at boarding school in England. Can you imagine the sea voyage?!
Ellen Lobb attended Prospect House, school, in St Neots, Huntingdonshire. I'm wondering if her elder sister, Caroline Lobb also attended this school?
And, if this school is still in existence to-day, either still as a school, or as something else?
Cheers
Danchaslyn
