The Lighter Side / I feel terrible and quite nervous...accidentally re-opened an old family rift
« on: Monday 20 March 17 16:06 GMT (UK)  »
Long story short: I contacted my great uncle on Facebook and my grandparents went off on one when I told them. Something to do with a very old family rift and a will being contested. I'm now in the doghouse, but the saddest thing is that my grandparents are very nervous about the reappearance of this man in our lives. I'm actually worried about their blood pressure! They're really stressed out. I had no idea of this rift...I'm 20 now and this all happened before I was born.

I've now blocked this great uncle of mine, which I'm saddened about as I would love to get to know him...

Anyone had similar experiences?

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Look up request for Samuel SCOTT
« on: Thursday 02 March 17 23:54 GMT (UK)  »
Samuel SCOTT was baptised on October 29, 1815 in Middlewich, Cheshire. He married Elizabeth WHISTON on June 7, 1838, in Prestwich, Lancashire. They had 3 daughters together.

Samuel's parents were called Samuel and Mary - please can someone help me find a marriage record for them? Mary's maiden name has become a brick wall
