Find Ancestors

Thank you so much for your kind messages, I have to admit they made me feel so much better. I have had such a lot of help from Genes, everybody has been so helpful that when I saw that message I was shocked.
I did notice that it had been deleted and that is most likely thanks to you all.

I also have to thank you for the census just received, I am onto a new line of my husbands tree now so I will be doing quite a lot on the Court Family.

With much thanks

Julia

I notice Bob has deleted his message. Good job too. I hope he was ashamed of himself.

Ozi.

Julia,
Please don't let that message put you off asking for help.
I had lots of help of the great people on here, before i finally subscribed to ancestry. I now try to return the favour.
happy searching

Julia, I was shocked by that first message on the thread. I hope you pay no attention to it. There are many people here that have annual subs to Ancestry. It costs nothing to search and we love doing look-ups. Please don't stop asking for them.

Don't worry about that bloke. I don't know what got into him. People on these boards are only too willing to help.

Ozi.

Thank you so much for your help, I felt really bad after receiving that message and I was seriously thinking about not asking for anymore Census. Now I know how stupid that was, you have made me feel so much better and for that I sincerely thank you.

I am sorry you feel this way, I only have access to the 1881 which is free as I don't belong to Ancestry etc., You are the only person whom I have come accross who seems to have a problem. I understand what you are saying but most people on here ask to help and so far they have been very kind and I have really appreciated it

I have a William Court B1821 Folkestone, Kent. He married Mary Kernan in 1848. Any help with any census from 1851 would be a help. I would like to know if they had any children.
Also Richard Marsh Court B1829 Folkestone, Kent. I have the 1881 Census where he is living with his wife Catherine and their children Annie William Owen and Florence. If possible I would like to see the Census 1861-1871 plus 1891-1901.
Any help would be appreciated
kind regards
Julia
