1. VHS tapes from England-why don't they play at home in the USA [1]
This really is genealogy. We recently bought two video tapes in Weymouth, Dorset, the town where Lorene's grandmother was born. The people in the Tourist Information Center on the Esplanade were not sure, but they thought the tapes would play on our VCR here in the States. One of the tapes has a label, "VHS HI-FI SOUND PAL." On our VCR, we only get video snow. On one of the tapes the audio runs too slow, giving out a sort of growl. On the other tape the audio runs too fast, but is mostly legible. W

Ralph, Thank you for your reply. You apparently are very skilled or very lucky, based on the other comments. Wonder what two systems were invloved.

4. 1851 census Leigh and ANDREWS [1]
Greetings Dorset researchers A few years ago I got from the PRO a photocopy of the page 9 of the return for 1851 census Leigh, Dorset which covered my family. I have just realized that it doesn't give where they were born. Was that question not asked in the 1851 census or have I missed a column? The family is Eliza ANDREWS Head; Widow; 44; retired shopkeeper Elizabeth`ANDREWS Dau;U;20. Eliza ANDREWS Dau; U;15. Georgina ANDREWS Dau;U;9. I know place of birth is given in the 1861 census but unfortunately
5. PIKE/PYKE George (c 1823) [1]
I am seeking a George PIKE or PYKE (born c 1823) who was an immigrant on the Sir William Napier in Aug 1842 from London and Plymouth arriving late Nov 1842 in Hobart, Tasmania. Also on the boat was my ggg aunt Ann REED of Illogan,Cornwall whom he married in Hobart 3rd March 1843. On the marriage entry he is described as underage and a blacksmith and the spelling was PYKE. She was a witness at her sister's marriage in Aug 1843 but from there I have lost them and wonder if they returned to England. If you s
6. Parish Records [1]
Greetings from Canada: I need some help re Parish Records around 1829. My g.grandfather, George Bush was born in either Cranborne or Fordingbridge in 1829. According to his marriage record his father's name was James (he was a miller). We cannot find, in any LDS records available to us, a James with a son George. My sister is going to the UK in 3 weeks and I'm wondering if there are Parish records that the LDS haven't recorded yet and if so where would she look for them? Any assistance would be greatly

13. Re: Dorset/Hampshire Hallett/Harris [0.976732]
It's funny but, I always assumed that my Hallett/Harris couple were born and wed in Dorset, because they lived as a couple there and died there. Their oldest daughter born Carrie Louise Hallett on September 28, 1886 and born in Bournemouth. It came as a surprise to me that in the Hampshire census James Hallett gave his place of birth as Fordingbridge, Hants, in 1860. His wife Margaret Lavinia Harris (dau. of Jas. Harris of Christchurch, Hants, and Caroline Harris of Fordingbridge, Hants.) was born in Hold

I doubt that "others" will be listed as they would have had to have their own "property rights" to be entitled to vote and therefore to be included - I understand that they were normally only printed (as commercial ventures) after the election when everyone could then see how others had voted - ie they only listed t

19. Pomeroy [0.976732]
I am having some difficulty in finding the brith date for my g grandfather Harry Pomeroy I think he was born c1863 probably Bridport, possibly at North Allington. I know he married Eva Angelina Guppy (b1863 East Coker) in Guernsey and died in a train crash in London 1890. They had a (in Guernsey) daughter (my grandmother Virtue Eva Pomeroy in 1886) they do not appear in the 1881 1891 census for Guernsey In 1881 he was in the services. I have a hunch he was born of Robert Pomeroy and Mary nee Pitcher.
20. VCR Problems [0.976732]
Hi, Thought I would add my two cents to the VHS tape discussion. Europe generally operates on a 220 volt, 50Hz power system. North American power system operates on a 110 volt, 60Hz power system. The difference of 10Hz in the frequency of the alternating current presents problems for electric motor-driven devices because the motor speed is usually set as a multiple of the frequency. This means that the tape is recorded at one speed and is being played at a different speed, not a good situation. I rather
