Hi Mike, How interesting. Thanks so much for your research. Wonderful! Maggie

My Gt Grandfather lived at 347 Bolton Rd in 1911. His name was Clement Johnson and his wife was Helen. They had a grown up son living with them called Douglas. He was a 'porter milk' which I assume was a milkman! Clement was a baker, but in 1911 was window cleaning. Anyone know of them? I...

Wow! Mike!!! Thankd for your swift and VERY helpful reply. You're an angel! God bless, Maggie

Can anyone tell me where the death would be registered of someone who died abroad, in Palestine, please? He was in the Army, so would it be registered where his regiment was situated? Thanks, Maggie

Hi Sheri, I can see why you have problems with this one. I have been looking on Ancestry and I am amazed how many Kezia Johnsons there are on there. It must have been a popular name at the time. All the very best with your research. If I can help at all do let me know. Maggie

When the kids got older and wanted to do something the parents didn't approve of (and which might be damaging to them) the parents would say, 'Better faceache now than heartache later.' You know, I keep thinking of more as I go about the daily grind. Must keep a pencil and paper handy! Maggie

Thank you, Georgina and Bren. I have relatives who dropped off the census betqween 1901 and 1911 who I'm sure are among those 'exported' to Canada and have tried (unsuccessfully) to find them. I now have another source of research. Thank you so very much. I'm so glad I have joined this forum...

Oh, how I have enjoyed reading all your sayings and it certainly brings many to mind. If someone asked what something cost (you NEVER did this to a Brummie) my mom would always reply, 'Money and fair words.' She always used the word 'fizz-ogg' for face. If you asked what was for tea she would...
