Extraordinary! I've just logged on to the website and it's back again in all its former glory!  ;D :)

I can only suppose that I happened to log on during the few days when the handover to the SFHG was taking place. 

Anyway, I'm very happy.

And thank you to bearkat for your timely post.

By 'sticky', do you mean pin 📌 it?

I think it would be good to direct others to the Weald website, but I don't know how, especially as it involves 2 Boards, Kent and Sussex - that's why I put it on the Common Room Board in the first place. (I looked in Help but could find a way).  :( :-[ :-\

Thanks melba_schmelba!

I've now been back to the site, via the Wayback Machine.
I hadn't realised that you can access the records only by clicking on the individual towns, not by using Site Search. (manukarik - please note).

Thank goodness  :)

Please can anyone say what's happened to The Weald website for Kent & Sussex?

I know that the owner is now longer able to maintain it, but it was up and running only two or three days ago. (You can see it on the Wayback Machine, but it's not accessible).

London and Middlesex / London Westminster & Middlesex Family History Society - how to contact?
« on: Monday 18 March 24 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
In mid-January I sent a message to the LWMFHS via their Contact email address.

I'm still waiting for a reply, or at least an acknowledgement that my query has been seen.
I am not a member of the society and have no way of contacting anyone to check!

Please help... :(

Basically, I'm trying to find John’s death/burial and I've looked in all of the 'obvious' places. I’m beginning to think that he died in the Workhouse. He was not on 1861 Census there.

17 Jun 1852 burial in Frittenden, Kent
Notes: Man Aged Between 30 & 40, 5'3" in Height, Found Drowned In A Pond In This Parish
John Fry (age 48)
Residence: Frant



John Fry's name is added to the bottom of the burial register page, and referenced to the drowning note above with an asterisk (*)

Hello Ashtone

Thank you for your post - that's great! (I haven't been able to find the Frittenden buriai record anywhere online).  :(   I'm very grateful indeed.

Hello Alan

I'm really delighted with your detailed information and for going the extra mile to help me. What more can I say!

Thanks,
Melbell
