Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Notes On 1939 Register?

 ;D  ;D  ;D Brilliant! Thanks, Kall!

I've now gained massive insight and revelation! Wow! My tree has a whole, new lease of life  8)

Now, I think I'll just go back to sitting in the Chat and watching the world go by. Such a burst of activity as That just brought me is quite enough for now  ;D

Thanks, again  ;)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Notes On 1939 Register?

 :-\ Wrangled a bit, over this one. Here or General? But, I think it fits here better.

Three things; 1/ What's the annotation, to the left, about, please?  2/ What's with the name change? 3/ Why on earth would one of these children (Which is what they are) suddenly turn up as " Officially Closed "? Just one of them. Out of the blue. Others, born before and after, are still shown. What's that all about, please  ???




Plenty there to be getting ye teeth into then!  ;D

Thanks.

Jane; I never once thought it did suggest the kid was a screw loose  ;D

Just that I've never in my life come across it as a given name, before. Upon hearing it, last night? I checked, and found it's said to be a name used by Gypsys going by the Gray surname.

Unfortunately, I leapt to a mouth watering conclusion  ::) Big Mistake!

So, now we're left with this tenuous link to this particular board: Did Gypsy Grays use it as a given? Or, have posh Grays been mistaken for Gypsys, in research, before?

Still be nice to settle That one, once and for all. And, as such, I feel a little bit less vile for having brought my BS to this board!  ;D

 :( Yeppers, Mabel. Just been furthering my own research. Frankly? Were it not for the proof it provides than not All the Grays around there were of any interest? This entire thread would deserve to be nuked from outer space!  :-[

 :) Thanks, Mabel.

Not looking good, is it? Linen Drapers, Farmers and Coal Merchants ....?

Fascinated by the use of that given name though. Weird!

 :) Thanks, Keyboard. I feel really bad now, piling in here, spouting unconfirmed sound bites ~ as I now recognise I have done.

I think I may be experiencing a touch of burn out, in honesty. Been pushing the boundaries a bit, just lately. No longer used to it.

Throttling back a bit then; The basic question is: Did 100% Gaujo lines of Gray call their sons Nutters?

That might be a more clinical way of coming at it?

Lovely people, in Hull  :)

I went there after a forty odd year stretch in Portsmouth. In a matter of weeks, I came to realise what a vicious savage I was!

Then, to Prove it; An old mate of mine turned up on a flying visit. Inside an Hour ~ basically his first few minutes interacting with Hull people ~ something kicked off that indelibly reinforced the fact we were savages!

Come to think of it? It's the same here, in Leitrim. I've calmed down no end, now. Surrounded by nice people. We even make eye contact with strangers!  ;D

 ??? Hold on! Have I lost the plot, completely? (One really shouldn't be doing this stuff whilst in the least bit distracted!)

Information I was given was:

Nutter Gray. 1841. Billericay, Essex.

 b 1788 d 1853 Hackney Middlesex. m Lydia Searle 1813.

Any utter pigs ears since putting in an appearance since? I have to shoulder the full responsibility and public shame!  :'(

Oh, yes; Phyllis is gone, 1851. Just a daughter, Emily, if I'm reading it right? Looks to have a serving girl too!
