The Common Room / Re: Ancestry 'New Home Page'
« on: Thursday 09 June 22 14:17 BST (UK) »
There was a section for recently used searches and topics, I can't find one now it's a nuisance. Also because I use an adblocker I have to consent to cookies every time I change page.

Occupation Interests / Re: French Polishers
« on: Sunday 08 May 22 14:23 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother was a french polisher of wardrobe doors mainly, and her father was a cabinet maker. I read somewhere that it was another description for coffin maker. Coffins were polished too!!

My bookmarks list has changed too, not a problem at the moment. Seems to have divided them into two parts and put recent ones at the top.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Christening of John George Richards Birmingham

I had a quick look on Ancestry, (unable to put a snip) for the date 1726 it's George son of George, not John George.
I hope someone will sort that out for you better than I can!

The Common Room / Re: Is Ancestry *fair* ? And about backups
« on: Saturday 19 March 22 14:07 GMT (UK) »
I don't store a tree anywhere except in my "dusty old tomes"! I love that expression! I'm not very good at downloading etc. and so when my computer crashed I lost the stored family photos and documents. I prefer to print everything I need. The back-up hard-drive failed also. My lovely grandaughter managed to retrieve some information plus I had some saved on sticks and cards, so I was glad I had printed most as well.
I do think that items you have paid for should still be available when the sub has expired.
It's a good job we're all different!

The Common Room / Re: 1940 wedding dress - request for help from someone who knows fashion!
« on: Thursday 10 March 22 15:14 GMT (UK) »
My parents married in 1940, because of restrictions she had a second-hand white moire taffetta dress, relations wore their army uniforms. Her wedding cake was a small one which was put under a cardboard "dummy"!
This lady looks very elegant in her outfit, it is very well fitted.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause Of Death. Help Please
« on: Sunday 27 February 22 14:50 GMT (UK) »
My husband has trigeminal neuralgia and Gabapentin. It doesn't take the pain completely. It must have been dreadful before these painkillers were discovered. I didn't know it could be a result of shingles so thanks Lola5 for the information.
