Further to my contact via curious fox I have I believe connected with this guy in Australia.

His ancestor is my ones sister.

I've been hacking at this particular brickwall for several years now.

Just shows patience is a virtue, sometimes!

Well done Marnie.

Well done..Just shows what can happen if you keep plodding away at it.

I'm getting excited, a lovely lady on a genealogy forum I belong to is going to the LMA today and is going to get copies of the ancestor and his siblings baptisms for me.

She will aslo try to locate the marriage another time!!!

I had 9 baptism copies sent to me. Really pleased.

I should have the photocopies arrive in the post tomorrow. My contact in Australia is stoked, apparently I have many "cousins" over there.

Good news Marnine!

Thanks Adam, I'm pleased as it's a line I've really been stuck on for a long time. If the marriage can be found that will be the icing on the cake!

I've just had a few bricks flying around as the wall comes tumbling down. First I had a contact a couple of days ago from a lady in NZ who, it turns out, is my 6th cousin once removed. Our common ancestors date from 1703.

Secondly I'd run into a brick wall with my gt.gt.gt.gt.gt.gt.gt. grandad (I think there's enough gt's there) I'd been looking for ages but could not get any further back than him being born in 1748. Today, I cracked it and got his parents....and theirs. I'm now back to 1675(ish).

Thats brilliant, isn't it a wonderful feeling when that happens

Funny how it goes innit? Once you get one, all the rest come along meekly. Just found a whole load more...ones I'd seen before but couldn't attribute.
