:-D :-D :-D alas I am sure someone will take offence

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Dear Musketeer Bob

Hello

I take it you didn't think much of the England Team's performance?!!

Diamonds is right.......our ladies are so much better than the fellas but they don't get the recognition they deserve.

Same as the Womens Football.


Take gentle care
Best wishes
Elizabeth,

sadly they didn't quite make the grade.........but that is sport........you win some, you lose some...as with school reports someone has to be top o' the class and likewise someone at the bottom..............
