Johnathan Tebay born abt 1855 Macclesfield Cheshire England travelled to Canada with his son Ellis b 1887 on the Empress of Ireland headed for St John New Brunswick on 8th Feb 1907.

Dad Johnathan died on 3rd October 1907 aged 52 (part of the death cert attached),but we cannot read where this happened. He died of Bronco Pneumonia which was certified by an A J Harrington.

Son Ellis returned to the UK and married in 1910.Haven't found which ship or when this happened though.

Many thanks to anyone who can help with this.

Have just noticed this on Find My Past....

"  Thanks to the work of the 1939 Register team, we've been able to successfully match and open over 5 million more records that were previously closed, and they're all available to explore right now. If you have tried unsuccessfully to find a family member in the Register who died after 1991, there's a very good chance you'll be able to now.

Findmypast is the only place online that gives you access to the 1939 Register, which is a responsibility we take very seriously. Accordingly, we've been working away behind the scenes to give you access to as many individual entries as possible.

As we've mentioned in the past, data protection law prevents us from opening the record of anyone younger than 100 years and a day and still alive. As the Register ceased to be updated in 1991, this meant a number of the records of people who have since died were closed, when legally they could be open. In addition, many deaths were never recorded in the Register, possibly due to the individual dying abroad or a number of other reasons. The records of these people would also be closed.

In order to open these records and give access to our users, we've cross-referenced the 1939 Register with the General Register Office's England and Wales civil registration death indexes, 1969-2006. Since this record set gives dates of birth, we can match individual deaths, where they are recorded, to the people in the 1939 Register, meaning we can now open these records. We took the decision to do this matching after we had launched so that both Findmypast and TNA were confident that the process was 100% accurate.

We're cross-referencing further records on an ongoing basis, and will have more open soon.

In addition, we're opening the records of those who pass the 100 years and a day threshold on a weekly basis, at a rate of around 30,000 per month. We'll be opening more records every week, so check back often! "

All day yesterday Windows update was trying to update Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) HD Graphics,but failing. Everytime I turned my computer (Windows 7) off it asked me to shut down,but it couldn't install it.

This morning it was still doing the same thing,so I thought it might be that I had an out of date Intel Graphics programme and thought I could 'repair' it.
Well it uninstalled it completely and now my computer has gone all funny/fuzzy like it's in safe mode with massive wonky writing.

Please can anyone help me,and in simple language please,as you can probably tell I don't understand much about computers!

Thank you

For those of you who have been following http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=660456.0

The story of how we got Diane and her half brother John together, is to be featured on BBC on Family Finders at 11-30am on Tuesday 23rd June.

They asked if a few of us would go on there and speak ,Marg did,but I preferred not to,but they promise to mention those who helped and to sing the praises of Rootschat as a whole.

Hope it turns out okay!
