Hello Les_Looking,
Thanks for that information, it was just this this morning that I found by chance that the music was from Schindlers List, your correct.
Will take your advice on those DVD's, because they are a MUST, plus, I can afford them now that the family have given me money for my birthday.
Thanks Again,
Johnna J

Good Day Everyone,
Thank you all for your replies and good advice, I'm going down to the "town" this weekend and will pick up that book and perhaps treat myself to those boxed DVD,s.........The Last Tommy has me hooked on that time in History.
Many Thanks.

The Common Room / The Last Tommy
« on: Wednesday 12 August 09 08:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
I've just watched the Last Tommy on BBC IPlayer because I missed this show when it was on the Television, what a wonderful story it was and it brought a tear to my eyes as each individual told there individual story, what a brave set of men to have gone through the horror of war to enable us to have a better life.
If anyone else watched it I would be obliged if they could identify the background music for me, I found it very moving and it blended well in the background when interviewing the likes of Sandy Young, the 104 war Veteran.
I may be wrong but I think I heard this music, or, similar in the Film Schindlers List.
Many Thanks

Hi Guys,
It seems ages since I had any Microsoft updates, can anyone explain (in simple terms) how I can check my XP system to ensure everything is in order to ensure I've got the latest updates.
Many Thanks

Kent / Re: John Ashton Ramsgate?
« on: Thursday 16 July 09 07:57 BST (UK)  »
Good Day Nigelo,
I agree, this is a hard one and I've tried to locate William Ashton's Dad, John for years, without any luck may I add.
To answer you questions Nigelo, I found William Ashton in the 1891 Census as a Lodger at Trimdon (Co Durham) aged 24(unmarried) and born in Ramsgate, Kent. Likewise, in the 1901 Census he is married. aged 34, and living with his family in Tynemouth, Northumberland. and stated as born in Ramsgate, Kent.  I'm afraid there are no clues from there marriage witnesses as they are his wifes relatives. However, I accept your point that there may have been a name change along the way, it's worth considering.  I need to do more "Digging" I'm afraid.    Thanks for your time and thoughts Nigelo it's appreciated. Regards

Kent / John Ashton Ramsgate?
« on: Wednesday 15 July 09 12:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to find family information about my Great-Great- Grandfather, John Ashton without any success and I'm hoping Forum members in Kent can help me.
My only "Hands On" information to date is a Marriage Cert of his son, William Ashton, dated 9th Feb 1895, William aged 28 Married, Margaret Jane Rutherford, William's Profession was a Fisherman and they were married in Newcastle-Upon- Tyne, this Cert states his Father, John Ashton, Labourer, was Deceased.
In the 1901 Census in Newcastle-upon-Tyne William states that he was born in Ramsgate, Kent, this information is also stated in other Census reports.
However, apart from this I have no other details concerning his Father John.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.....Regards
