My brother put me of corned beef a bit he used to call it corned dog! Having said that we used to shell the peas for mam until she said she hadn't enough to cook as we had eaten most of them. He tried to put me off them as well said make sure you chew them well as there might be worms in them. That'...

Brittany is really pretty and most of the time the climate is better than England but I wouldn't want to live there full time as my home is England. Today however I will mainly be preparing for our extended holiday. Dave goes mad at me as there are certain foods I can buy in England and not in Britt...

We should never have gone to Afghanistan, its a fight that has gone on for years. I watched a series once called The Far Pavillion's set in Victorian times from what I can remember and the British army received massive casualties then when fighting in Afghanistan. Since that I think I am right that ...

Stand pipes for the olympic's sounds good to me. I hate all the threats of drought when it never seems to stop raining in this part of the world. Are the north of England a non entity in Great Britain? On the climate change (can't call it global warming anymore since GB had the cold spell) did anyon...

Lucky you I am not convinced that cholesterol does cause strokes and heart attacks so keep going Stanley there's so much contridiction. One minute eggs are good for you next they are not. Butter and milk all natural products that didn't seem to harm our ancesters but are now rated bad for you. Every...

When I think of filofax I always think of Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses when he went to the wine bar. I still use a diary and address book with note paper in the back so I suppose it's a similar thing. Wasn't the Flatley dryer the one with bars in that you put your clothes on then slotted them ba...

We have a mobile home on the site Camping du Quinquis in Le Pouldu. We stay until the end of June and then rent it out for the school holidays. Returning at the beginning of September until end of October or before if the weather doesn't hold. My cousin has a farm complex in Normandy at Ambrieres Le...

Thank you all for your comments, I will hang fire on the will and everything else until you very kind people get back to me. Burnley's missing years for marriages from 1753 are ready to go on line on the Lancashire OPC.

Eileen

I will google that and have a look.

Eileen

I have never heard that phrase getting on with your knitting. When you used it Stanley I thought you had taken up knitting to add to the rest of your hobbies.

Eileen

Hello Sue

What part of Brittany are you. We are in Southern Brittany at Le Pouldu on the Atlantic coast or we will be by the 2nd April.

Eileen

Hello Mo

Thanks for getting back. Cook House is the place recorded of the will of a Christopher Smith. He was a yeoman and died in 1750. I don't know whether it is worth sending for it what do you think?

Eileen

Hello again Wendy The monumental inscription found for me was for Richard Higgin for me at St Bart's. Now I am looking for a Rose Crowshaw at St Barts 28.07.1760 (Hoping she is in a grave with her father John Blakey) Monumental inscriptions at N I P for Henry Higgin 26.12.1735 Grace Higgin 03.03.173...

Thanks for the info Wendy.

Does it also have the gravestone inscriptions that I need.

Eileen

Thanks for that Stanley I once said too the old doctor life isn't worth living without the odd meat pie he said everything in moderation and his favourite meal was egg and chips. He had never had his cholesterol checked but said it was the NHS that put it into the MOT. My old doctor was the son of t...

High cholesterol me too. But it's always been high not quite in double figures yet. My old doctor said it was naturally high heredity from Scandanavia (Viking) it seems that they have high cholesterol. He also told me how they come up with the averages and why they are different depending on where y...

All the parties worry me but lets not forget it was the last government that got us in this predicament in the first place. In my opinion the public service does need cutting but not at ground level but at their over abundance of clerical staff starting with the chief executives of all councils. My ...

Thanks again Stanley

Eileen

Hello Mo Thanks for that it was a burial I found for a Rose Crawshey at St Bart's Colne and it said Wethead on the Lancs opc so yes I think it could be Wheathead. Rosamunda Blakey de Colne married Thomas Crawshay de Roughlie 11.04.1726 at St Bart's so think the above burial is hers. I found her bapt...

Only needed a check up teeth and gums are fine and fortunately I still have all my own teeth including wisdom teeth. Booking ferry for Brittany today then three months of rest and relaxation.

Eileen

Can anyone advise where Wethead is.

Eileen

Hello Wendy

Thanks for the information. I was hoping there may be gravestones for Henry and his wife Gace also for the Crawshey's (various spellings)

Thanks again for giving up your time

Eileen

Hello Sue

Hope the weather improves in Brittany we sail to Roscoff on 30.03.2012.

Eileen

Thanks for that Wendy

Are these the gravestone readings or the registers?
