Sorry


I did not mean to be superior.


I always put where i've found information if it is not on ancestry, and freebmd is often the way I put it.

I did mean to go back and correct it to www.freebmd.org.uk, the full citation, but forgot!


You're beginning to make me sorry that I spent the time searching for your people!!

Susan, Ive reread this thread and cant see Sylvia was acting superior in any way - I do the same as we want to encourage people to learn rather than rely on others. Go to freebmd.org yourself and have a practice finding events and do read that tips thread to help your research - Ive bumped it up for you.

Susan, take care, people are helping you here.

Question marks at the beginning usually mean that the following information is a possibility. freebmd tells you where it came from.

If you're not sure what something means, ask nicely, don't jump to conclusions.

Old hands on the board usually know when a new person is requesting information and are only trying to help you with as much info as possible.

Ozi.

Susan

I also didn't appreciate the pm you have just sent



I was trying to help you.


We are all only too willing to help newcomers find their way around all these sites that we use. So that you can learn how to and where to find the information yourself .... especially on the free sites.

Now to try to start again


why do you think there is something weird about the couple??


Why do you think she fibbed about her age?? Something that, incidentally, was common in those days, just as it is today!!

I do apologise really. Was having a really rubbish day and took it out in wrong place.

Thank you to everyone for their help and advice. I will try to keep my temper a little more.

In particular thank you Sylvia
