I'm the only one looking for GILLBANKS , mind you, when I find one were sure to be related, it's not a very common name. Jim.

Is there anyone out there looking for or have details on the following:

Agnes Weild - daughter of John Weild born 28/04/1795 in Dornock?
She married -  4th June 1814, Annan.   Agnes Weild to William Blinkinship (maybe mis-transcribed, should be Blenkinsop, but other variations have been used).  Does anyone have info on William or Agnes' parents or siblings? 

Also looking for family of Wilhelmina Hope (she married the sone of William Blenkinsop - James)

I have her mothers name - Jane Scott born around 1786 - Roxburgh, Scotland.  Her father was William Hope born around 1782 Hawick, Roxburgh, Scotland.  Has oneone details on her parents or siblings?

I've drawn a blank..hoping someone might have information..

Thanks for reading this

My G grandma was a Beddall but she was from Netherton Worcestershire Sue

Hi Sue
Possibly part of the same family because I think I've now got mine back to Wolverhampton on the 1901. Joseph Beddal flour miller age 24 born Wolv. Staffs. Good chance this was my g.grandfather as flour millers named Beddall weren't 10 a penny!
Any link?  Do hope so....it's been a lonely search so far!

Cheers

Thank you Matty Joe and Margaret.
Feeling a bit more fed up today but nothing to do with rootdigging. Have just come across a nasty traffic accident and being one of the first on the scene, stopped to help.
No details but I feel really quite shakey now. Must say though that after I called 999 the police were there within minutes- sometimes they're there when you need them.Didn't stay until ambulance arrived as was told 'You can go now' by police , but only hope it wasn't too long. Can't get the image of the poor car driver out of my head.

Carol did you give first aid?  If I remember rightly from my training, they tell you you may feel upset afterwards and I think they said you can get help or counselling if necessary.  Maybe you could call your local Red Cross branch?

Hi LIzzy
Yes I did briefly have to give first aid, but the police took over the job when they arrived. Seems such a long time ago now and I'm pleased to say that I did feel better the next day. Thanks for your concern and advice.

Since then I've been involved in an accident myself.Nowhere near as horrific as what I came across, but it took a while to get over, even though it was the other driver at fault, you still lose confidence in your own ability as a driver!The physical stuff heals if you're lucky, but the emotional scars stay with you.....

I've got to start lessons soon.  If THAT doesn't scare you, nothing will.   

Instructor:  "Mind that car!"
MrsLizzy:    "What car?!"
Instructor:  "The one you just nearly hit!!!" 

 

[carol sea]

I'm sure you're nowhere near as bad as you make out! but just in case, do let us know when your lessons are.........only kidding!!
Good luck.I'm sure you'll enjoy the freedom. Couldn't manage without my car. The buses are rubbish where I live.It would take me forever to get to work in the mornings.

I start work in Cambridge tomorrow.  I'll get back to Haverhill after the last bus is gone and as I am NOT shelling out hard earned wonga for a taxi, I will WALK the last mile back to my village!       And yes it was a nightmare getting home from Cambridge on Friday - I was getting quite sarcastic in that bus station!
