Hello, all.........I am researching the SNOWDON blacksmiths of NRY,
especially of Ryedale. Has anyone come upon them in their own research?
Or, are any of you researching other blacksmith families of that region?
(Timeframe: 17th through mid 19th centuries). I'd like to hear about them,
also.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Modern technology has given Britons a glimpse
of life at the turn of the last century with the online publication of the

Chaplin, nurse Florence Nightingale and "The Lord of the Rings" author

Hello everyone,
Though it may be off-topic for some of you, I want to pass along to you, an
offer that was made to me by a very nice lady, by the name of Jane, who
contacted me concerning my WORLD-OBITS mailing list. She has in her
possession the 1881 and 1851 census and British Isles Vital Records for
England, Scotland and Ireland. She also says that "The 1881 census is
