As to these skycrapers, will they last even 50 years? With more and more companies saying that employees will only come into the office on two days per week, possibly less soon, computers will soon be rented cloud-based space and all we need is some shelving for paper-based files, perhaps in a...

Nichola, On this page http://www.oldladywood.co.uk/ there is a gold CONTACT button a little way down the page. Maurice :cool:

Many thanks, Janice, it's makes a nice change to see something repaired rather than destroyed. Maurice :cool:

In which case, the marriage possibly took place somewhere in Ireland, Janice. There are certainly less of the McDonaghs than I would have expected in relation to the other variants, Nothing either on familysearch, which is supposed to have Irish Civil BMD from 1845 onwards or on Scotland's...

And that's where we hit a problem because the only child's birth that is spot on is that of Annie:- 3rd Qtr 1883 Annie McDonagh (mother's maiden name MULVIHILL), Aston Reg Dist, Vol 6d Page 248 All the other children are nowhere near, McDONALD or McDONNELL, and with various mother's maiden...

cba, I can't see it changing here in Greece any time soon - the Registrars make great play of the signing ceremonies and love to get their pictures taken. A representative of the Council joins in on the act and gives the couple a gift too. Of course, he has to have his picture taken with the...

Brenda, Chester Street Locks - now I believe, from extrapolating from old maps, is "buried" under an industrial building. Lockkeeper was John Baizon - this was in 1881 & 1891. He is also listed as a lockkeeper in 1871 at Primrose Hill, Aston. Not sure whether that is or is not a different lock...
