hi grandpa,tried to get on the above site with no luck.xx

what a web site , grampa jim ,i saw your thread about 3 hrs ago so i went on there and i've just come off and there is still more to read it's a great site thanks grampa jim hazel.

Opera doesn't seem to have that. Does it search the whole site?

There doesn't seem to be an index to that site, so here's a quick way of searching by name: enter the surname you want into google, followed by site: and the address of the site. So if you're searching for somebody called Brown, it should look like this: brown site: http://uk.geocities(.)com/becky62655ATbtinternet(.)com/ ( remove brackets and insert the at sign in the obvious place)

You bloodthirsty lot. Don't forget your knitting and bag of sandwiches and bottle of Gin. P.S. Educational day out for the kids watching an execution. Lol

Will rawl through this tonight - it sounds good (unless you happen to be being executed)

Uttering is to put into circulation forged coins/banknotes. I have a feeling it might also be cheques that bounce. Victoria

Me again, My goodness, what a gruesome lot. One poor bloke committed suicide and they still hung him when he was dead. ............... Can anyone tell me what crime uttering is as there seems to be a fair few excuted for this. surely it's not speaking! Gina in Oz

I've been on the site before Gramps but the blue writing is terrible, don't know if it's only me but my eyes really hurt with it. Jean

Website address: http://uk(.)geocities(.)com/becky62655ATbtinternet(.)com/ Remove brackets Replace AT with the usual at for e-mail addresses (an a with a circle around it)!

Sam Crowther was my Stepmother's great uncle. Caught scrumping fruit and he stabbed the farmer who caught him.

Thanks Jim, WAS going to do my ironing before it got too hot.lol Just makes me realize how lucky my husbands GGGGrandfather John Prestidge was in 1802 he stole a sheep and was sentenced to be hung at Northampton Assizes. His sentence was commuted to deportation. He earned his pardon after 10 years and stayed in Hobart for the rest of his life as a farmer Linda
