    Talking of PN, I hope you're ok, Pastures?
    Been thinking of you and wondering if there's been any progress with a referral?

    I’m wondering whether you are eating, PN? Bit worrying not hearing from you.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Don't know about the eating, but she posted in DT about 7 minutes ago so she's definitely still alive.

    An achievement to come out of DT alive!

    I've been wondering about her too. i do seem to remember she said she might not post much for a while.

    :wave: PN, just in case you're keeping up with the NP thread. I hope all is going as well as possible for you.

    Thank you for the heads-up zag! I've downloaded that :)

    Ah, sending out search parties eh! I did some of that "unexpectedly going out" stuff ....

    Pub meal, £5 inc a drink one day
    Walk out in the forest the next day.

    I have photos as proof, but site to upload them's messing about.

    I've been eating, but had nothing to say really. Mostly still chomping through boring December food .... still got Xmas spuds and a parsnip and a celery....

    It's finding the bugg4hs that's hard :)

    If somebody on your tree doesn't live/marry/die in the same village before 1911 .... you can lose them and have little chance of ever finding them.

    When somebody moves away, and you've no clues .... you can pull up a list of "everybody that died with that name since 19xx" but when you get 400 results you sigh ... then you discount all those whose ages are entirely wrong .... then you go through all the newspapers to find the deaths of all those who are on the shorter list - and you still end up with 20-30 it "could be" - and what if they ended up being buried as "stranger found on the road" ... or went abroad and died.

    My main disappearing act was last known of as "wrote from abroad in 1935" ... and I know he returned to these shores, but could then have gone abroad again to die, or died anywhere in England or Scotland, any year from 1935 to 1985.
