The article in Dea's keepsafe is from the 24th April. The one from the 27th is entitled Kibworth funeral. Short version, wouldn't know where to start with keepsafe.

Took place Kibworth. Moderator, the Rev. Drew and Rev. Gari Phillips officiated at service in the Congregational Church, and at graveside.
Principal mourners included Rev FT Williams (husband), Mr and Mrs Tite (daughter and son-in-law) and representatives from the Congregational Churches of Wellingborough, Kibworth, Langton and Burton Overy

Keepsafe is very useful Greyghost, especially for long articles which take AGES to type out, or if it contains a photo which can then be viewed. ;-)

Do you mean you 'don't know where to start' in order to view them or to download them to keepsafe in the first place?

If you would like to know how to work it, I could mail you some instructions if you like? (It is one of the very few things I have actually mastered :-D) - Just let me know.

Hi Dea - I'm one of those technically challenged people ! Haven't even tried to work out how to upload documents etc. to keepsafe, so some clear and concise instructions would be good. Thanks - by PM maybe, then I can keep in my message in box for future use. If you would prefer to do by email, let me know and I'll send you my addy.

pm would be fine - Just come back from shopping so will do it when I have had my cup of coffee to warm me up ;-)

P.S. All my instructions on this sort of thing have to be clear and precise (idiot proof in my case as I am not very technical either ;-) )

Hi there everybody! Wow! You have certainly gone to a lot of trouble for me in investigating Emily Selina Williams and her husband Frederick Thomas Williams. I apologise for misquoting her name in the beginning. She is definitely Emily and not Emma!! I did already have all the information on the Bickell family thank you as they were my maternal grandmother's family. I will now study all the information you have given me on her possible death date. Thank you stars! I will come back to you if I get confused!!!

Just a friendly tip Micheline to help you -

You know what info you have, but we don't, so we try to establish if we have the right family by posting findings and asking if we have it right, before going off along the wrong path, which is so easy to do. Hence the "is it Emily not Emma" , "is this your family" etc as you had mistakenly given the wrong name and place of birth.
