You may be able to get the interest of someone local to access local records.

My next suggestion would be to find someone with electoral rolls. You know where she was when she died.
Also try genuki to find local churches. Lots of records are still being transcribed.
Try roots chat as they have a section that is geography based so finding someone with local knowledge.

possible

I really don't see why you think Edith is Emma and Ronald is John.

What do you base this on ?

In view of the latest piece of info ......

"we think that emma real name is edith and she was from norfolk and that john use the name john because in did like the name ronaold "

Could this be the couple ( one page mistranscribed )

My post on your (This) thread was;

No...Ive deleted this as it's 'pants'

I dont know whether to laugh or cry....I posted some census info for you and when I re read it I thought...what an idiot Ginny, thats no good, in fact it's 'pants'

So as not to confuse you I deleted it and replaced it with the message above...and a kiss I may add which I would never put if I was being rude...the 'V' sign maybe lol

You thought I was saying your thread was pants...oh dear!

Anyway Thank You for your PM earlier and your apology which of course I accept

we think that emma real name is edith and she was from norfolk and that john use the name john because in did like the name ronaold when they moved to birmingham the started to use these names to fit in with the locals we are still unlocking this but i had john yates look in to this for me he works out the reg office in birmingham .is there any way that i maybe able to find out about steam crane drivers for birmingham aera in the 1940's as this could help with piecing the john facts together

i see i don't mean to afend people on here it just seemed that ginny kept posting the same thing she was a little rude on my thread and upset me in that i am trying to ask for help as YOU LOVELY PEOPLE LIKE HELPING US NOVICES OUT OF A HOLE sorry if i affended anyone on here in posting my comments to ginny it was that her thread kept coming to the top everytime i kept checking if anyone had replyed to my posting again sorry everyone that offence to my posting to ginny i do take onboard the advice on posting thank you for letting me know

Michael
I thought I actually had spent quite a long time trying to help you.
You will not always get answers straight away.
Sometimes you spend years stuck on one person.
If I choose to help you out of my own busy time and I choose to post "rubbish" to my friends that is my choice.
I believe the purpose of Ginny's thread has been explained.
Sometimes people duplicate the same thread half a dozen times without reading any of their replies and we get frustrated. We spend a lot of time trying to explain the system to new people as it is not helpful to them.
I believe you have upset my friend Ginny.

Michael, you sent me a lovely message but I couldn't find the thread I had posted on, and I think this was because you maybe have deleted it and started a new one? The best thing is to keep one thread which relates to the same query. This helps as people can then keep track of all the info. It's better for you as well as the people trying to help out. That's all that people are saying really.

Back to your query, I really can't find that marriage. I wonder if she was married previously - do you think this might be a possibility?

The reason why the thread headed "Do not post the same family twice" is often at the top of the TTF board is a reminder to members

The thread shows Ginny·s name as the original author - but it is not her spending all day - everyday - posting it to the top of the board

Many members write on the thread - and every entry made - will cause the thread to move to the top of the TTF board

It is also "nudged" - by this I mean that if a member is working at answering requests for help - sees other members posting the same family name - several times -

They open Ginny s reminder thread - Adds an entry - for example types "Nudge" and as all postings are timed stamped - by the system - it moves to the top of the TTF

As indeed happened - just after midnight last night by a member working on the TTF board - and I happened to know Ginny was in bed by 10.00 pm last night -

So she certainly was not writing " Rubbish " as you kindly wrote to her

I would suggest - that as I do not actually have the experience and/or knowledge to accurately help with other members "requests" ---- and Michael they are requests for help ---

I would recommend in future - you send any more of your offensive PM s to me - and not to members who actively solve and assist voluntarily many many members

Or _ of course - the easy - proper option - do not send offensive PM s to members mail boxes

Michael - this is an exact copy illustrating my point

This entry caused Ginny·s thread to rise to the top of the TTF board at the time stated

Oh I see....I thought I had upset YOU personally!

The thread you refer to is not aimed at anyone in particular. It is posted in an attempt to help people, all people which includes not only the poster but the volunteer helpers too.

If people post asking about 'John Doe' and then get lots of replies that’s all well and good.

The problem arises when they go on to post another thread about the very same person

This creates more work that has already been done and may I add is against the 'rules' of GR

If you care to look through the threads on GR you will indeed see that I do help a lot of people and did try to help you on your thread but I deleted the info as it was ‘pants’ in other words ‘rubbish’

Can I suggest that if you need help on GR, you don’t go upsetting helpers by telling them they are talking rubbish....just a tip ;)

because at everytime i see a thread on any of the page it has you post stop . posting the same family twice on there all times of the day.

I have no idea why you felt the need to send me this PM Micheal?



Micheal Barrett stop posting rubbish on here 11/10/2010 23:25:15

why do you keep going on about posts there are people on here asking for help and are unsure if people are helping them if you took the time reading these and stop posting stop posting this rubbish and helped them they wouldn't keep posting on here ???????


Edit; I'll have a think about this and let you know what I think later but in the mean time if anyone has any idea what Ive done to upset anyone.....

??????????????

Jack could be short for John and Emma short for Emily...
