Thank you everyone. :D

Everything is splendid and we are all delighted to have a new girl baby in the family. I won't go off topic on here with details but hopefully will find time to do the proud nana boasting somewhere else! ;D ;D

My great-aunt Edith Rosecleer Barrett died on 31st October 1963, aged 88. I don't remember her, although I think we visited her when I was a boy. She left a small amount of money and no Will; the research done into the family tree by the solicitors has been a real help to me in establishing the facts about my Barrett ancestry. I have yet to establish the origin of her middle name - all her nine siblings had names that had real family meaning, so there is a mystery to be unravelled. And the amount of money when divided up was enough to buy what my father called the "country seat" - a garden bench.

Margaret White, my 3xG grandfather's second wife died in 1893. I don't think it was a happy marriage. They married in 1864 and were living apart by 1871. She was also economical with the truth when it came to her age, knocking a full 10 years off for her marriage cert.

It's the end of October which means we have been running these ancestral anniversary threads for a full year. Some of you joined in when I started the November thread last year, others have come along during the course of the year.
The question is whether or not we want to continue and if so, how? I believe all twelve threads are still active so we could just revive them month by month and add new BMDs to those which we have already posted.

What do people think and what would B-Bob prefer us to do?

I quite like the idea of reviving the previous threads, that way we can see which BMDs we've added since the beginning.
