Technical Help / Thunderbird email
« on: Tuesday 08 April 25 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Does Thunderbird delete emails after a certain time or is there a limit of how many you can store.
Yesterday for some reason I lost a lot, and I mean a lot of emails from My BT account.
At that time they were not on Thunderbird either.
Today they are back on TB, but not on BT. I have lost a lot of important information as well as insurance and other things .
 I really don`t understand as I didn`t delete them   permanently.
Has anyone got any ideas of what`s gone on .
Thanks.

The Common Room / Died in Jamaica 1803 Help please.
« on: Monday 17 March 25 15:26 GMT (UK)  »
I have a Richard Jones found baptised in Wrexham 25 Jun 1775  . Father Captain Thomas Jones. no mother  named but possibly Ann Lloyd.
From a memorial for Thomas Jones in Wrexham Church is this information.
 Richard, his second son by his last wife. who died unmarried in the Island of Jamaica. 12th April 1803, aged 28.
 I can`t find anything about Richard Jones apart from these 2 records, nothing about him in Jamaica.
Sugar trading comes to mind but still not sure.
Thanks.

Lancashire / 1841 asylum census
« on: Friday 14 March 25 20:02 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking at Richard Peter Manning died aged 82 in 1850 registered West Derby.
The story is that he had been in an Asylum for many years after killing a man in a duel in 1799.
I can't find him in 1841, would there have been records for asylum inmates then.

Technical Help / No sound on laptop
« on: Sunday 23 February 25 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
I have been given an Asus laptop, the previous owner is no longer around sadly. 
 I have  never had a laptop before so it`s a learning curve.
I can`t get any sound, tried Messenger video call and playing stuff on Facebook etc, even though as far as I can see speakers are on full volume , but no sound. I have tried all the settings that I feel comfortable doing but still no joy.
The microphone works because I tried a Google voice search.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem may be.
Thanks

Technical Help / Microsoft office
« on: Thursday 20 February 25 12:36 GMT (UK)  »
Ok, so here we go. I have Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 DVD installed on my desktop. It was free from my husbands place of work. It does have a key. There are also terms and conditions. 

I had my  desktop PC updated from 8 to 10 , but have been told that it`s not going to able to  be updated again to 11.
I am thinking of getting a laptop. My question is how would I install this onto the laptop.
I only use Word, Publisher, but have a lot of databases on Excel and Access which I really use a lot.
Alternatively is there another option, preferably free to open these documents.
Thanks.

Merionethshire / Pen Celli Bala
« on: Monday 03 February 25 16:10 GMT (UK)  »

Edward Griffith  of Wrexham will 1780

http://hdl.handle.net/10107/637239

On the second page he names Edward Fenny  and later Ellis Rogers of Pen y Gelli which is just outside Wrexham .
On the third page he names John son of Simon Fenny of  Marchwiel , Elizabeth daughter of John Fenny, brother to Simon Fenny aforesaid  & two of the heirs of Pen Celli near Bala . Then more mentions of Fenny and Pen Celli . There are large amounts of money involved and unfortunately no other names linked to Pen Celli.
I looked on the Tithe maps and found a Pencelli at Llanfor. Landowner Margaret Jones.
For the Gelli in Llanfor there are wills of Hugh Williams in 1786. Charles Wynne, Gelli 1731.
David Evans, Gelly 1731.
Genuki
"LLANFAWR, (or Llanfor), a parish in the hundred of Penllyn, county Merioneth, 2 miles N.E. of Bala,

Another Pencelli House and garden at Llanycil. Landowner Robert Roberts. There is a burial on 28 June 1768 of Robert Roberts of Pencelli, so it looks like this family have been there for a while. They are still Roberts at Pencelli in census records. 
Genuki.
"LLANYCIL, (or Llanykill), a parish in the hundred of Penllyn, county Merioneth, 12 miles S.W. of Corwen, 15 N.E. of Dolgelly, and 1 mile from Bala, its post town. The parish includes the market town of Bala and five other townships It is situated on the western side of Bala Lake.

So I`m hoping if there are any older records that might link this Fenny family with either of the   Pencelly places and people.
 From 1700 to c 1800 there are 10 records for Fenny in Marchwiel parish registers, so not many.
 In a will from Marchwiel 1700 they are spelt Phenie. So far I`m not having any luck but am hoping someone with more knowledge of the area might shed some light.

Thanks
