LDS "Family Search" problem

[carol8353]

Oh dear I wonder why your family have been 'blacklisted' then 

Amazing that you can get John and Mary Smith without too much trouble.

Very odd..................key the spooky music

Hi Carol,
they must have been a very naughty family indeed!

And he  was a postman! it sounds so respectable.

However I just remembered a Monty Python skit with a naughty postman. I think they also referred to  a naughty milkman and a naughty vicar .

Hello Griz

Glad the information was useful - apologies it took me so long to agree that your family was giving grief in the search routine. I hadn't thought about him being a "naughty" postman - but I was intrigued at the various ways a postman was described - letter carrier to Civil servant to Postman - the evolving language we use

 Yes,  its comical really. 

  Another Brindley, Richard, (related to Theresa)  is a man  is described as  an 'Inspector of Waterworks', Hammersmith. on the 1901 census. I wonder if he was as important as he sounds? 
 

Thanks again for helping me, Trish, and  thanks to the other lovely people who posted re my puzzling predicament.

Hi Trish,  LOL Yes you did and there was no need     anyway I wouldn't have believed me either.

My weird problem has turned out to be much  more interesting than just a blip at LDS. To have a partially- blacklisted family could be a sort of status symbol.

You have been very kind, thanks again.
