RootsChat.Com

This might sound stupid and obvious, but I once had cause to contact the House of Commons on a similar query (it was historical research, not family) and they were remarkably helpful!  Drop them a line - I think they enjoy something that isn't a complaint, from time to time!

I sometimes find it difficult to compose myself to reply to contacts from GR - I get in from work, dash up to the computer to see what's landed in the inbox - get rid of spam, check ebay watched items...print off anything to do with the Band - which has to take priority over everything else, as it's thir money i'm playing with.  By the time I've done all that, said a quick hello to husband and dog, caught up on some of my outstanding paperwork, i've usually had a couple of gin and tonics or glasses of wine and think...oh, I'll reply to that tomorrow, so i click it as 'Keep As New'.  Sadly, it can sometimes take me a little while to reply, but never 14 months!!!

I have someone in my tree that someone on here was looking for info on...I was so excited....I posted a message but never got a reply....

Boo hoo - I have maybe got a rootschat rellie too but they're not talking to me.....

I've just started on my husband's side of the family and have found his gg g/f was called Featherstone Watson - he was born in ap 1830 in Pately Bridge, but I noticed that, astonishingly, there was another Featherstone watson born abt 1832 in Stanhope.  I'm sure there must be a link here somewhere - can't be TWO Featherstone Watsons, surely! 

(He - ie the ggg/f - had a brother called Brown Watson - and no father appears, as far back as 1841 - old Nancy, mother of Brown and Featherstone calls herself a widow throughout!)  I'm dubious myself!
