The Common Room / Re: Daily Mail Thurs 10th August: Minority of babies born to married couples
« on: Wednesday 10 August 22 13:03 BST (UK) »
You are quite right.
What I read was" Albanians are in the top foreign born parents giving birth in uk".
Didnt see any Tv prog about it. Don,t watch much tv anyway.
I skipped statistics as they are mostly trumped up.
I was surprised as did not know there were any specific number of Albanians in Uk.
Not getting at any one race in particular.
So no need for such condemnation.
Take all newspaper headlines with a pinch of salt anyway.

It was hard enough for us to find our ancestors given that most married ....well mine did as far as I know.
Today many are searching for the impossible; trying to find donor fathers and dozens of half siblings alll by donor.
There was a tv programme about it recently. Very interesting.
DNA testing seems the only way. It is totally amazing what DNA can reveal.
That article also mentioned the fact that the most births in Britain were to Albanian mothers??
No wonder midwifery services are stretched to the limit.
Folk used to just jump over the brush...to be married.
Much simpler, cheaper and sensible.
Swans don't bother with ceremony but remain faithful for life.
I have great respect for swans.
Birds build nests before embarking on parenthood.
And rabbits make beautiful nests lined with their own fur and they dig long tunnels, as long as your arm will reach at the end of which is the nest. Even pet rabbits will do this if left to roam free in a garden.
She feeds them once a day and leaves the nest safe and secure by stopping the entrance up with earth each time.
And she does not bring in strange male rabbits who kill her babies.
Yes ,humans have a lot to learn from rabbits.

Independent....living without having to work so either living off inherited wealth or property aquired from investments that brings in an income.
Annuitant..often in receipt of a pension of some kind feom the armed forces or other sources.
Living on own means..either savings, investments, retired mill or land owners, mine owners shop keepers, factory owners or wealth aquired either by self or ancestors.
Fundholders.... benefitting from stocks, shares, shipping etc
Own means...just what it says.
All meanthe same thing really.
No need for recipient ro work as comfortably off whethet by own or others' efforts. In receipt of regular income .
I have sev eral of these...some came from wealth, others aquired it.
Some invested very wisely. Others born with silver spoon. Others worked very hard for every penny.

The Common Room / Re: Catholic burials
« on: Thursday 04 August 22 23:10 BST (UK) »
Catholic or of other faiths were often buried in the municipal cemetery.
Many London RC churches had small or no graveyards so catholic dead would be buried at nearest available graveyards. Or in the most unexpeected places..
My granny R C born Ireland , was buried in Hayes Middlesex municipal cemetery. Her husband is in Slindon Churchyard C of E and one daughter R C, born Ireland is over the road from her father in Slindon RC church graveyard.

« on: Thursday 04 August 22 22:18 BST (UK) »
How does one block a sender. ?
I get these purporting to come from amazon and several phone calls a week.
Since i know exactly what i spend on amazon anything other is always a scam.
I delete all spam without even reading them. .

Pharma t,
Measles and other infectious diseases were always hazardous in the undernourished or impoverished.
Fit children just get it and get over it.
But itcan be fatal in adults who have no immunity to it even today.
I knew a young mother who caught it from her 6 yr old son.
She died in three weeks from complcations leaving leaving two boys 6 and six months.
We were all devastated. This was in the early 1970,s.
Yes, i too remember all the wee ones whose lives hardly started, Elizabeth Mary aged 5 mths, in the 1850 s ,
Bridget ,Muldooney , Thomas , Emma Matilda( aged 13 weeks, TB. 1859,)
Almond 1760 s, John , Lydia, aged 12 (who died in Ackworth school along with schoolmates all of some sort of influenza) and lastly ,Great granny's babies, 3 of them who died before the age of five all handicapped. Including poor little Em, paralysed, deaf, blind.
Those are ones I know.... so many unremembered.
How strong nd accepting all those mothers were.
Top of the hill
I expect those children were in no danger as they would have heeded any warnings given.
