Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Cullen College Perranport
« on: Wednesday 08 September 10 15:08 BST (UK)  »
I would be most grateful for some help with finding any information about Cullen College, Perranporth, Cornwall

The Newell family, part of my matermal line, all lived in & around he Bermondsey area of London.  Imagine my surprise when I found the mother, Bessie Newell together with her unmarried sister Laura Harriet Minchin, & her son Harold William Newell, according to the 1911 census, living in Perrenporth, Cornwall.  None of the Newell family had any connection with Cornwall.

Harold William, born Mar ¼ 1888 Hackney,  is stated to be 23 years of age & a "student Cullen College"

I have tried various sites on the internet for info, with no success beyond finding there is or was a College Road in Perranporth so I would welcome any info as to just what this college offered.

Many thanks,

Meliora

Technical Help / Quarter of the year
« on: Saturday 15 November 08 09:00 GMT (UK)  »
I have noticed that various forms of the quarter of the year are used when writing out the info. found in the BMD entries.

There is a very quick & simple way to do this by using the numeric keyboard,  i e holdiing down the ALT key, the keyboard stroke for quarter is 0188, for  a half it is 0189.

If you look in Windows Explorer>Systems Tools> Character Map, click on the character wanted & at the bottom RH corner you will find the keyboard strokes to use.

Technical Help / email notifications
« on: Thursday 21 February 08 09:44 GMT (UK)  »
I have had not had any email notifications to my replies posted in any board since 15th Feb/08, I have had to check each board to see any replies, & there have been quite a few since the 15th.   I have not changed my profile instructions to receive notification.

Normally all emails come into my OE & BTYahoo sites, the Spam Guard is ON in the BTYahoo, I have tried it with Spam Guard switched off & ended up inundated with spam.

Any advice, please,
