1. Re: [SoG] Effect of dialects on surname variants [1]
And don't forget with all secondary sources to look for variants of how someone might have read the surname in odd or poor handwriting as well as the dialect variation! With my surname ALSBURY - usually pronounced AYLESBURY by us... the L-S-B-R bit is almost constant in all pronunciations with an incredible range of vowelling e.g. ELLESBOROUGH, YALSBERY, ALLSEBERRY etc (all genuine variations) but add a secondary source to that and the variations multiply manyfold... and spotting which ones are your su

3. [SoG] Great Bear & name confusion [1]
Not genealogical, but does anyone know why a humorous map of the London Underground is labeled "The Great Bear"? My husband finds it vastly amusing, and it is strangely up to date with Tariq Aziz & Dick Cheney, perhaps it's a perennial best seller and constantly updated. We're glad to give the Victoria & Albert a bit of gift shop business, but what does it mean? We go there for their splendid cold buffet luncheon, but their 17th century room helped me figure out how the many stools in inventories were used
4. [SoG] Effect of dialects on surname variants [1]
Dear all I had the privilege of being born with the surname Greathead and have chosen to use this as my one-name study. I am doing well but would always appreciate and assistance and information from anyone prepared to help me. My particular concern at the moment is looking into variations of the name. I have discovered most but would like to know if anyone who has a talent on dialects can identify where in the country the variations may have come from. So I would appreciate as many suggestions a
5. Re: [SoG] Re: C I G [1]
I am sorry that I cannot resolve matters concerning membership and subscriptions. These must be sent to membership@sog.org.uk, and not to me or the list, because all such aspects are controlled by the SoG. Nonetheless I want to increase, not decrease, the number of subscribers and will try and do what I can only if the normal channels fail - but please send emails direct to me. Regarding the misprinted page 56, please also send emails direct to cig@sog.org.uk and not to the list. A request has been made
6. Re: [SoG] 1841 Census [1]
Don't know if this version is the same, but many other census discs for other years, come with a special reader you have to download from the disc. It makes it easier to make the text smaller or larger and focus on a specific part of the page. Hope this is what you will get.. but why not ask S & N. They are a good company and have always politely and professionally answered my queries in the past. I beleive you can Email them direct. Brenda Cox
7. RE: [SoG] Effect of dialects on surname variants [1]
The GRO indexes are probably the best starting point, though it depends on when where and how your chosen name propagated. My GRO study of GREENALL, a Lancashire name which rode on the back of the industrial revolution, clearly shows it waxing and waning in different districts as the decades roll by, and I hope one day to look into what may prove to be remote variants (eg. 'GURNALL' and 'GRINNELL') that can be seen growing in odd places round the country, well away from the north-western roots of GREENALL
8. [SoG] Payment by CC [1]
I am interested to read that people are having trouble paying their subs with a credit card. I had the same problem this year and last year. Last year list manager, Geoff came to my rescue. When my magazine didn't come in Apr I guess I had been struck off. An email (well several in fact) direct to membership fixed the problem in the end but I had to resubmit all my payment details again. Still haven't received the 1st magazine for the year though despite an assurance one would be sent and ironically

The link line was nearly finished - it had passed Mill Hill Gas Wo

16. Re: [SoG] Effect of dialects on surname variants [1]
Try also saying names as if you have a cold or adenoids (LOL). Then cover your ears and ask someone to say the name to you, adenoids & deafness was very rampant in older days. Then be lazy and drop consonents to nearly nothing. Wherever you travel, a good place to ask is pubs, to ask a local to say the name for you in the dialect he has. Make notes of what you hear!!

18. Re: [SoG] Re: C I G [1]
This is obviously story-capping time. I spent a long time last year trying to pay a late sub. Well, this year I went in nice and early in the year to pay in person, having in the interim missed the subscription reminder. "Don't worry" they said, "we accept debit cards". So now I get the magazine - at last - but my sub. still hasn't been processed after four months - which means I get this year's membership free I guess.

19. [SoG] Deeds of Property [1]
The list David has found in his grandfather's papers looks like an informal "Abstract of Title" i.e an indication of how someone proved their title to certain property. "Indent" is short for Indenture, a deed with at least two parties and effecting a transaction such as sale, lease, mortgage &c. Without knowing what each indenture did, one cannot be sure but it looks as though the first two showed Wm Spencer Blackborough buying two properties. The first of these properties had been mortgaged by Wm W

I am sure that some learned lister will be able to explain the meaning of a note found in my great grandfather's papers. It reads as follows; "Inventry of Deeds of Property belonging to Wilkinson Binns Indent. Mr. Wm. Wright and Mrs. Mary Ann Briggs then Mortgagee to Wm. Spencer Blackbrough dated 1st Nov. 1871 Indent. Dated 21st Nov. 1871 between Mr. James Appleyard and Mrs. Appleyard to Mr. Wm. Spencer Blackbrough. Indent. Dated 4th August 1872 between Mr. Wm. Spencer Blackbrough and Mr. Eli Heaton an
23. Re: [SoG] Mnason genealogy [1]
Thank you Peter Christian for your response re: MNASON origins. The Biblical MNASON (Acts 21:16) had but one passing appearance; the word in the original Greek possibly being interpreted as meaning 'rememberer' or 'seeker'. Nonetheless it was used as a forename, notably in C19th America, probably inspired by the character in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (published in 1678). An authority in Modern Greek doubts that a name originating in Christ's time would have survived unchanged over the subsequent 1,600

25. [SoG] UK 1891 Census on Ancestry - Screen Scraper? [1]
Ancestry is gradually putting EB facsimiles and personal name indexes on line on its subscription site at: www.ancestry.co.uk (and its US .com version ). Those using the SoG library get access to these sites for nothing, but the results of an index search are in a very 'non compact' form, and for many one name studies would involve many pages of printout, which at the SoG need to be paid for . . . Does anyone know if a 'screen scraper' has been written which would save this information in a compact spread
