'Bailiffs turned up' - add 250 to the original bill for each visit

Still I am sure sorting it out from the middle of the Indian ocean will be a doddle.

I'm home.

Trying to argue that the council started enforcement action before issuing a revised bill ie they started proceedings chasing an amount that wasn't actually due.

Longshot ... when was her brother Jean born?
If it's 1768 I've got the parents.
But I guess you've been there, seen that, dismissed it .... and moved on years ago.

It only works if there's an older brother Pierre too.

EDIT: And I can see you already know about those (elsewhere on t'Internet), so it is a dud that you knew about.

I wonder if she was the daughter of David's widowed sister... maybe she had to work so couldn't look after a baby.

your one step ahead of me now on this....but two Pierres...1766 and 1772 so first one must have died...parents David Aumonier and Anne Bourdon..Jean was born 1768 and his son Frederick Gibson Aumonier married back into the Woollams family who was Emily Woollams daughter of Wm Woollams wallpaper and Mary Ann Aumonier so that would be first cousins wed allowed in many countries still.....have not got info to Davids widowed sister...have you a name for her as I have no females listed...maybe we both of us are now confused yet again....


I think the money as well as the talent got lost by the time Husbands Father etc where born......

I was thinking last night, it's no wonder everywhere's overcrowded... I was reading about John Wesley - he was the 15th child of his parents and he married a woman who was her parents' 25th child!

Must have been fun sorting out the inheritance! 25 children!

The widowed sister was Mary Goley.

Maybe you'd forgotten about that thread/lead.

I just figured that Mary is close to Mary Ann ... and a widow might not be in a position to look after a child and work, so they might've just sent Mary Ann to the brother's house to be brought up in their brood as they had the room and other kids being looked after.

Depending on the age she did that at, it might've then "suited them all" to just have MA using the Aumonier surname instead of her mum's.

The thing is with longshots ... you might not get the answer, but following them often fills other gaps, or at least puts an end to that track of thought. And, you tend to discover new resources/ways of thinking along the way ... so it's never wasted effort.

I come from a long line of "name changers" who simply used different names as it suited them at the time .... and giving false information to fit themselves.

Like g-granny's sister, who gave a false father's name at her wedding .... trouble is, it wasn't her father, she gave her mother's husband's name and he'd died 5 years before that bride was born. Maybe she thought he was her dad as nobody'd told her differently .... or maybe she did it deliberately so she could be "just like her older sister who was the last real child born to the dead father". Who knows ... but people do it.

Though bringing up 25 kids would make anyone broke. Doubt there would be much to leave - even before splitting it 25 ways.

Most probably died - and most people leave nothing to inherit.

I got my biopsy results this morning.

The nurse giving me the results runs through the entire procedure, why I had been called in for a biopsy (in detail) what they had biopsied, and so on. All in terms suitable for a four-year-old. After 10 minutes of this, and still waiting for the results, I was getting a bit impatient. I quite wanted to know whether I had cancer, and I was well aware already of what the procedure had been. So I asked her just to level with me. She looked really upset. Presumably, all the other patients let her run through her presentation until she feels it is exactly the right moment to give the results. I think she must watch too many competition programmes on the television "and the winner is………….Incredibly long pause…….".

In the end, she muttered under her breath that all of the biopsy samples were clear.
