Technical Help / Problem viewing old DejaVu saved pages

« on: Monday 11 August 14 08:09 BST (UK) »

Going through some old files last night and discovered that I have many saved pages from 1837online which are in the DejaVu format.

Having upgraded to a new PC running 8.1 at Christmas, I need a viewer to be able to read these pages again.

On XP I had a viewer plugin that worked with Irtfanview, but that's not playing on 8.1.

Ideas?

The Common Room / Re: Is Family History starting to sour?

« on: Tuesday 01 October 13 09:22 BST (UK) »

Have definitely lost my fervour since I lost my inspiration for my research - my mother - 4 years ago.

And 3 house moves haven't helped either - everything is still packed in umpteen boxes and haven't been touched for last 3-4 years. Still add info to Brother's Keeper as and when it comes my way, including my two new grandsons

but that's about it these days.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Upwell Baptist registers - FOUND

« on: Wednesday 26 December 12 22:24 GMT (UK) »

Hallo Jarsue,

Playing catchup as usual in a rare spare minute

I have a page + photos about the Baptist Chapel on my website as many of my ancestors are buried there:

To obtain details of who is buried in your front garden, contact the Fenland Family History Society
http://www.fenlandfhs.org.uk/ as they were able to transcribe the remaining headstones before destruction.

Regards, Ann.

The Lighter Side / Re: People preferring their middle name, and then changing their middle name to be

« on: Saturday 02 July 11 14:28 BST (UK) »

My husband has 3 Christian names and is known by the 3rd one; I have 2 Christian names and am known by the 2nd one.

I was going to have just one name, the story goes, but when Dad registered my birth, he added his grandmother's name to it as a first name.

Have never used my first name, and it causes all sorts of problems

Norfolk / Re: The Rose and Crown - Upwell

« on: Saturday 04 December 10 08:08 GMT (UK) »

That photo is not of The Crown at Christchurch. The Crown stood on it's own at the top of Crown Drove by the 16ft Drain - my father remembers the building.

There is much confusion over a pub in Upwell itself called the Rose and Crown and the Crown at 16ft Bank, Christchurch.

Christchurch [formerly Brimstone Hill], was part of the parish of Upwell until the church was built in 1865 when the parish was split from Upwell and the village renamed Christchurch.
