lol morning fitty

I totally agree with the mix in the gravy  8)

My first sunday dinner was tragic. I put too much mix in the gravy. Was kinda strange, just a brown powdery liquid, the flour content killed the oxo...... but i'd used self raising instead of plain so also created yorkshire biscuits WEY HEY

I know of a couple who called their daughter Friday cause (here's the clever bit) she was born on a Friday.

What got me thinking about that was from when i went to a chippy in whitby and asked for a chip butty open. I ended up with chips wrapped up, and a breadcake in a plastic bag tied in a knot. Maybe it was just the poor lady who was confused  ???
Besides a chip butty, chips IN the breadcake, Yorkshire pudding has to be the local favourite along with meat and potatoe pie with Hendersons relish.

And has anyone ever heard of mock crab? An American relative of my Nan's neighbour gave it to her. Tomatoes, eggs and cheese all boiled and mushed together in a pan and then slapped on toast.

The othe bugger is the parish  (St Mary's) the rest of the whitaker's belonged to wasn't opened until 1830 so i'm currently searching other churches in the area.

Hi  :)

William Whitaker is who i'm trying to find at the moment and i'm definately stuck!
He was married to Mary Ann unknown surname. They most likely had many children but the son i know of is Frederick Whitaker b.1848 and he was married to Sarah Ann Senior on 25/12/1868 (Daughter of William Senior).
Frederick and Sarah had 12 children and lived in the Ecclesall Bierlow area of sheffield. All the family were cutlers.
William Whitaker was present at Frederick's wedding and it states his occupation was, file manager.

Hope that made sense  :-\

hi

i've not been doing this for long but my main search is in Sheffield. Up to now its just the same pattern in the line i'm following, same house, same christian name and same job (cutlers) back to early 1800's. Be interesting to see what happened before the steel works became so big. And before that house was built ha ha......

must admit, my great, great, great grandad's name changing from Frederick to William really threw me   :-\   ;)
