1. [SoG] 1901 census [1]
I have found a 1901 census entry that cannot be blamed on the transcribers. It is at 7 Flora Street, Cardiff (RG 13/4977 f 77). Emily Hurley, Son, single, 18, Mason's Labourer, worker, Gloster Bristol, English I think that he was really Henry Herlihy and that I am his fourth cousin twice removed. Jeremy Wilkes

David, >>Is it possible to print out the records of an entire village? I can see how to search down through the Region & County to the Village but what is the easiest/quickest way to print out all the records? << Yes it is if you paste the records into Word. Find someone in the village concerned, then go to Neighbours View. Scroll back until you get to the beginning of the village. Copy the whole lot until you get to the end of the village. Paste it into Word - or any WP program. May need a lot of ed

I am glad that Chris did put this, and a subsequent message, on the list because it will have given members a small glimpse of the very important work he does for the Society on an entirely voluntary, unpaid basis.

10. [SoG] MSN and Hotmail [1]
I am not sure whether there are any .msn or .hotmail users still on the list or any other Rootsweb lists for that matter. Certainly most have been unsubscribed recently. Maybe they think that the list is quiet or that they have been banned. MSN are refusing either large batches, or all email from Rootsweb. They fob off their own customers with stupid replies and refuse to reinstate Rootsweb mail to their users. If any such users are still receiving mail then you are lucky, but if you should read the

If the cost of whatever proportion of their time is spent on those duties exceeds the profit, then the bookshop will run at a loss.

12. [SoG] CHINNERY - an update [1]
Just to let the list know that a photo of the smashed memorial has been located, not least due to the efforts of those who responded on this list. Paul Mckenzie hit the nail on the head by mentioning a link with Gilwell Park, the current Scouts HQ. Waltham Abbey Hist Soc's Hon. Curator and I visited Gilwell's archives yesterday, and took photographs of the Chinnery monuments on site, to George, Walter and Caroline, the children of William Bassett Chinnery, Assistant Treasury Clerk.

At one time (maybe there still is) there was a test for the resilience of rubber materials that required the dropping of a known weight steel ball from a known height onto the material and measuring how high it bounced.

14. Re: [SoG] London's End ? [1]
Oh dear. As a Londoner born, and more or less bred, I tend to think everyone knows that civilised life as we know it, if not the world, ends at The World's End pub on the King's Road, not far from Chelsea Creek (west of which you actually fall off the edge). Certainly Londoners know so. Chesterton professed to believe that for the average Londoner it ended at "Paradise by way of Kensal Green [Cemetery]" but he was a cynic. The World's End is 5 and a half miles by the shortest route from the London Stone

Dunno. But John Betjeman says in his poem "Hertfordshire" "One can't be sure where London ends....." Arthur Thomson in North Hertfordshire and definitely out of London.

Ther is a short history of Child's Bank "The First House in the City" by Philip CLARKE, published in London in 1973, which gives some details about the first CHILD associated with the Bank, Francis (1642-1713).

21. Re: [SoG] 1901 census "corrections" [1]
One correction they have not made relates to a "printing error" on the original form. If you look at the top of each page of the book all the district names (but one) have the form "XXXXX of ......". The exception is the county field and many of the enumerators corrected the omission - which means that tens if not hundreds of thousands of entries have "of " in front of the county name. The software is such that a search for "Buckinghamshire" will not find people "of Buckinghamshire". Removing the spurious "
