The Common Room / Question about the BVRI
« on: Sunday 18 December 05 19:46 GMT (UK)  »
HI,

I am thinking of buying the British Vital Record Index vol 2 with my Christmas money.

However I have a question.

Is this a duplicate of the information freely available on the IGI, or does it contain new data?

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1841 lookup Devizes
« on: Wednesday 05 October 05 23:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to find a family on the 1841 census

This is the family in 1851

KING Jacob 49 Labourer Roundaway
Jane 46 Roundaway
Isaac 21 Ag. Lab. Roundaway
William 16 Roundaway
Sarah 10 Roundaway
Caroline 3 Roundaway

I have found a reference on the 1871 to Jacob King living as father-in-law with Amelia Winterson.

I am hoping to find Amelia King with the family group on the 1841, on the 1851 she is a servant near the family home.

Thanks

Sue

Technical Help / "Show unread posts since last visit"
« on: Monday 19 September 05 16:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have just logged on to rootschat after a weekend away.  I clicked on the "unread posts link' and was given 19 pages of unread postings!

This is a great way of keeping up however this number of pages makes it too hard to read every post in order to delete it.

Would it be possible to add a function to this page to highlight and delete those entries which you do not wish to read?  That way I could remove quickly all the requests for areas in which I have no knowledge, which would make finding those I can help with a lot easier.

Another way to help would be adding the function to sort the posts by number of replies.  This would highlight those posters still waiting for help more easily.

Over to you Trystan!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1851 Manchester Collins
« on: Saturday 30 April 05 02:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'd be grateful if anyone could lookup a Collins family from Manchester on the 1851.
All we have is Ellen Collins born circa 1846 in "Manchester", father Matthew and finally a possible brother John born circa 1840 in "Manchester".

We've located Ellen on the 1861 and 1871 in Worsley as a boarder (in 1861, John [possible brother] was also boarder at same address). We've hoping to locate her with her parents on the 1851.

Thanks
