Steven, thank you :) :)

I keep forgetting people actually have a life, apart from genealogy ;D

Good morning everyone. It is 10.15am here - after signing off just before midnight yesterday, I have since got my five children to school and done some work before getting a chance to write this message - my, you have all been busy through the night!

Well, here it is:

The entry for Friday 9th October - 'Ann Fox completes her 45th year. Met her in St James Park. Walked accompanied by her homeward.'

She was born in 1801!

I shall post more later - back to work for now.

Peace and joy,

Steven.

Excellent!  A perfect match to the Ann FOX of Stephen St in 1841/1851 (for whom there was other corroborating material).  If only she were not so coy about her marital status... ::)

Thank you, oh thank you Steven! I will sleep well tonight.  ;)

Now to find her birth!  ;D

Deb is going to be ecstatic when she wakes up! Ann is the bane of her life at the moment!  ;D

Hello Rootschatters  ;D

I have been following this unfolding tale through all your wonderful posts for weeks and just had to say how much I have enjoyed it - reading the diary, then logging on to Rootschat to see all of you hard at work gathering information!

And how wonderful to have Steven here as well! (And for telling us how old Ann is  :) )

What will we do when we run out of diary?  :'(  I dread to think, but for now I will continue to enjoy this adventure!  ;D

(Have been following the thread, no time these days to contribute! :(  My OH was confirmed with a malignant melanoma, he's had his thumb removed, and now waiting on biopsy results!  :-\ :'()

Was great to see the photo of you Stephen with the Diary!  How cool to look at a book, and know that was your direct ancestor's thoughts and notes.  Amazing :)
