I have an Acer Aspire laptop,I have just bought a new battery (not a cheap one!),but I can't seem to charge it. I have tried for 4 days now,have taken it out and put it back in, but still zilch it won't charge.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

These twins births are really bugging me.

If they were twins you’d expect the numbers to be consecutive  not 9 apart.
You can’t tell me that they registered Annie and then 8 more people came in to register their babies before the clerk got round to completing the forms for William?
Okay their deaths were 3 apart numbers 182 and 185,but of course they didn’t neccesarily die at the same time.

And as they were in the same 1/4 could the deaths have been recorded before the births???


Births Sep 1916
 
Barleycorn  Annie  mmn O'Brien  W.Ham  4a 562 
Barleycorn  William  mmn O'Brien  W.Ham  4a 573   

Deaths Sep 1916 
Barleycorn    Annie    0    W.Ham    4a   182    
Barleycorn    William    0    W.Ham    4a   185   

What does anyone else think...........apart from that we have no idea who their parents were.
I know we could buy one of the certs,but my friend (whose family this is) is doing a one name study and it can work out very expensive

I am looking for the burial place of an Owen Russell who died on 6th March 1894 at Knockburry? Buttevant. He was 64. I am keen to find if his wife Mary was buried with him,or any other family member. There are a number of possible Mary Russell deaths that could be her,she was still alive when he died.

Many thanks

The picture is of my dad aged about 7, c1930 and his parents on a beach on the south coast.
It is a traditional seaside postcard,which has the photographers Sunbeam Photo Ltd and a Margate address on the back.

Does anyone recognise the beach? No not the sand  but maybe the metal/wooden stairs in the background?

I had a copy of this photo for many years,I have just been sent the original when an elderley relative had a clear out.Wonderful stuff!!!

Many thanks

I have just had to upgrade from an XP computer to a Windows 7 and consequently can no longer use my old friend ,Outlook Express. I have been forced to have Windows Live Mail 

I am having trouble with so many aspects of it (not very computer literate) but my biggest problem is that it isn't saving any Sent emails,despite the box being ticked to say that it should be.

Help please 

I'll no doubt have more questions later on 

Thanks

Carol

PS I don't like the way that I can't put this new machine into hibernate or standby as I could with the old one.
