During WW2 my mother was a NAAFI supervisor, and looking at a photo of her in her uniform, I have realised that I don't know what colour it was. I've always assumed it was khaki, but it's a sepia photo which doesn't offer any clue to the actual colour, so it may not have been. It's too late to ask Mum, so does anyone here know? The only pictures I've found online are in black & white.

A friend who relies on my husband and me for tech. help has a problem with her Samsung Galaxy A50 phone that has us stumped. Every time she opens the email app, the various folders are empty, and her emails only appear after the phone has gone through a lengthy sync. process.  The account settings (IMAP) appear to be correct, and as recommended by Plusnet.  The ports they have told her to use differ from those our own Plusnet e-mail accounts are using, so we've tried both, to no avail.

Please can anyone suggest what has gone wrong and how to fix it? 

A friend's mother told her she had been a weekly boarder at a school in Rothesay in the mid-late 1930s.  However we can't find any reference to a boarding school there at that time, and are puzzled as to which school this could have been. Can anyone shed some light on this, please?

I found this newspaper announcement of a marriage, and want to find out
the bride's first name, but can't find any official record on FreeBMD or FindMyPast of a James Thompson/Thomson marrying a Jackson.  Can anyone help, please?  Maybe the marriage was not registered, or is missing from the indexes I've looked at.

"At Netherwitton, on the 22nd inst., Mr James Thompson, Rothbury, to Miss Jackson, eldest daughter of the late Joseph Jackson, Esq., of Colderife" [Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury of 27th March 1852]

It's puzzling, because as far as I can tell from censuses and newspapers, the only Jacksons at Coldrife at that date were the innkeepers at the Three Half Moons, siblings whose parents were Joseph Jackson & Mary Dunn, Longhorsley. However they don't fit the information given.  Joseph Jackson, innkeeper at Coldrife d. 4 Apr 1852, and his sister Isabella (eldest daughter in their family) d aged 71 on 1 June 1869, apparently unmarried.
