I'd not got beyond the date for Rebecca and William's marriage.

Does that mean you do not have this?

Thanks for that -I didn't have Martha Price!  Not sure how I missed her on the Notts FHS baptism disc  ::)   So thank you very much  :D

By "beyond" I meant I hadn't found the actual record (as opposed to a transcript) for their marriage.

I thought I had all  Rebecca's siblings - 4 brothers and five sisters at the previous count - but Martha fills a five year gap quite neatly.

Thanks very much for that - I'd got most of that over the last 11 and a half years - but great to have a Price contact.  I'd not got beyond the date for Rebecca and William's marriage - obviously if she was honest about her age she would have had to have her parent's permission to marry.

I've got the following for their children:

Phebe (1832, Ruddington) M John Baker 8 May 1853, 4 sons D 12 Oct 1886
Sarah Ann (1833, Ruddington) 1 daughter 1857, then married Thomas Robert Pratt 28 Oct 1866 [Nothing beyond 1891 census]
James (1836, Ruddington) M Maria Phillips 2 Jul 1864 [Nothing beyond 1891 census]
Benjamin (1839, Ruddington) D 1840
Martha (1840 Worsborough) [Nothing beyond 1871 census]
Selina (1843, Nottingham) D 1873
John (1848, Nottingham) M Betsy Musson 17 May 1869 D 1929 Nottingham
Lavinia (1850, Nottingham) M Joseph Drayton 29 Oct 1871, 4 sons 2 daughters D 1926
Herbert (1852, Nottingham) M Sarah Ann Banks 2 Dec 1872 Miles Platting, Manchester, 5 sons 2 daughters D 1930
George (1853, Nottingham) [Nothing beyond 1861 census]

If you have any info to challenge my reading of events, I'd be most grateful.

If you want to carry the conversation on, you can send me a personal message on Rootschat - but I think you will have to have made 3 posts to do so (ie one more than you have already, so you would only need to reply to this post).  Keen to check out my Price info with you!

When I read comments about familysearch I wonder if the person writing the comment really wants to search in familysearch or whether they are really wanting to search the IGI

For searches in familysearch try using

https://familysearch.org/search/

For searches in the IGI try using

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi

It may not make a difference (depending on how you search) but you may be surprised.

Thanks, Guy.  Excellent

Warwickshire / Re: PICKERING - Coventry. Help required finding birth, marriage and parents

I think you'll have to fork out for the identified marriage cert.  How's your busking skills?

BTW on English certs, you only get a father's name (if the bridegroom knew who he was) and occupation. Don't get a mother's name.  I'll have a bit more of a look to see if there's anything I can drag up from the depths (if so will let you know).

The Common Room / Letters from the past
« on: Saturday 22 December 12 18:50 GMT (UK)  »
There's an interesting item in today's Guardian (UK) about a letter written 100 years ago for his descendants 100 years into the future by a Guy Wood. 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/dec/22/letter-from-a-century-ago

It seems to be a fascinating combination of social history and predictions for the future

What letters do you have written by your antecedents?

... I have read about 17 pages of this thread ...

A quick tip for all newcomers to this topic, and for "oldcomers" who want to re-read it ...

Click on the "print" button at the top or bottom right of the topic.  This won't actually print it but will display the whole topic on one page (in a printable format).  You won't see any images, but there aren't that many on this topic so that shouldn't be a problem.

Phew thanks - the notification emails haven't been able to keep up and it was taking an age to catch up.

Excellent to know that.  Is this Print button a new feature, or have I been asleep for seven years?

Slight issue for me.  As a result of the format changes, the website symbol underneath the profile picture has changed from a globe (world wide web - geddit?) to a house (home page!!!).

On the webspace board I maintain a list of Rootschatter's family history websites.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,336023.0.html

In that I explain about going to people's sites by clicking the globe.  I now want to update that so it refers to clicking the house symbol.

I unlocked the thread, and found there was no modify button.  Is this because the posts pre-dated the look and feel change, or am I missing a trick?

BTW Already getting used to the new look.  If there's info that can be shared about how better the site is performing, that might help the doubters come to better terms with the changes?

Bit of a surprise when I dropped by, but I have to agree with my OH (don't I?) - the content and the people are the same, and that's the value.

One odd thing is that some of the county boards are showing up in old format - but it doesn't worry me.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the narrowness and colour of the thread titles - perhaps they should be bold?

Anyway thanks for all your hard work, Trystan - wouldn't want you to feel that it's a thankless task.  I doubt though that you and Sarah expected the site to be so thriving as it approaches its 10th birthday
