james,
Nice to hear from you again. Hope your neck problem is not getting you down too much?
This stuff looks promising but do not have the time to examine it in detail tonight.
What is PM?
I do not know how your last message was sent but it was not by email as I do not think you had my address!!
The weather here is beautiful

Have seen little of the day - neck really a 'pain in the ....'
More new meds in the morning I believe.  Appears to involve trapped nerves etc.


There was a pile of stuff to go through.
Shame its not on my MissingLinks Forum - it wold give it an extra 'shopwindow'

I've also begun another project - Cemeteries and Gravestones, just in the last couple of days -

How are you getting on with your cemeteries and graveyards?
Any improvement in the neck?

Hi Frank
In your Robertson etc searches have you found a Helen b c 1773 - 1778 -
again she was Robeson Robison but the refs for her later show Robertson (eg husband's death and children's records).
This Helen m James MORE(b1774) in 1800 Sarclet Wick . I have all this data - just can't find a suitable birth for a Helen.
In 1841 she is in Sarclet Village
James More and Helen (Ross)   with grandaughter Helen Anderson age10
and Helen Sinlcair aged 17 servant
By 1851 James is on his own (77) with g/dau Helen Anderson.
Unable therfore to get death for Helen.
Any leads appreciated.

cannot find a Helen in my records.
My brother-in -law,a More, was brought up in Sarclet and his father,who is still alive had a croft there for many years up until fairly recently.
I will sound them out regarding your helen and James
