1. RE: [SOG-UK-L] Sorisener? [1]
I wonder if this has anything to do with "Saracen" (not the tanks but the Tudor meaning of the word? I wonder if it could have been applied to the maker of "sarsenet" or "sarcenet"? Mr. B. A.

2. RE: [SOG-UK-L] Memorials as Listed Buildings [1]
The idea of a 'Listed Building' covers a strange range of constructs. In this village of Steventon (Oxfordshire, was Berkshire until 1974), we have an ancient raised Causeway, lined with trees and paved with cobbles. It is nearly a mile long and is designated as a 'Listed Building'. This means that any work on the trees - even the annual pruning - or repair to the cobbles requires the formal permission of the Local Authority.

6. [SOG-UK-L] Update on handwriting problem [1]
Hello everybody, First of all, let me express my gratitude to everyone who has been so kind to help me with the handwriting problem I had reported a few days ago. You might remember I was having difficulties in determining the name of the father of my 6x great-grandfather William BANISTER. Well, the answers seem to keep flowing in so I've decided to wait a few more days before thanking everybody individually. In the meantime, if you are interested in the statistics and possible answers, you will find all t

9. [SOG-UK-L] Handwriting Expert Required [1]
Hello everybody, I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with a piece of handwriting which is difficult to decipher. It probably relates to the baptism of my 6x great-grandfather William BANNISTER or BANISTER on 27 Nov 1706 at Newport, IOW, ENG. I would be very grateful if someone could take a look and let me know what the name of William's father might be. Naturally, I have some ideas of my own but I would prefer to have an unbiased opinion. I have made a BMP file (about 176KB) of the entry i

Dear all, I have just signed up with screaming.net This is the new ISP which gives not only free ISP services but also, at off-peak times, connection with NO PHONE CHARGES. In order to do this you have to be an existing customer of BT and to transfer your connection for regular phone connection to Localtel. They are one of the newer companies who buy line time from BT. All the changes are made by them and your phone number remains the same and you are serviced by BT as usual. In addition you retain all the

16. [SOG-UK-L] Joseph BODDINGTON [1]
I wonder if anybody can help me track down the birth of my earliest ancestor I have so far been able to find. His name was Joseph Boddington. I know that he married Elizabeth Worrall in Whitmore, Staffs on March 26, 1793. On the certificate he was described as of the parish of Stoke. He apparently moved to Etruria in early 1800, then worked for Wedgwoods, the famous pottery, as a painter of china and as an inventor of colours for painting. He had six children, the fifth of whom - Thomas - is my direct ances

Ian, >> By counting the number of plates and rivets showing above the waterline on each, and doing a simple sum, you could calculate both make and sales over any period.<< This is another thing that people don't realise about those things that hold gas! They are also full of water. A gas worker once told me that the folk in Aldershot living near the gasworks were afraid of a conflagration during the war, should the listed building receive a direct hit. He said that they would be in greater danger from

Hello everybody, I'm considering making my research data available to everyone who visits my web site (see URL below). Before making this step, I would like to find out if this would be a worthwhile idea as far as you are concerned. It would be easiest for me to store the data in Access 97 format, compressed using Winzip. Naturally, the data will primarily relate to baptisms, marriages and burials for the UK. The names and locations are currently given in the 'Research' section of my web site. I will ne

21. [SOG-UK-L] Listed Buidings etc. [1]
Be warned - if you ever get yourself lumbered with a Building Listing by your local authority then you will have to maintain the property "as is" at the time of the listing. We have some very interesting Council Houses nearby which do merit recognition. Some had been amended by having plastic replacement windows installed and some were not - generally as they had been sold to the tenants - when subsquently a number of these former tenants applied for planning permission to replace the original metal frames
22. Re: [SOG-UK-L] Re: SOG-UK-D Digest V99 #110 [1]
Penny I very much doubt whether circumcision was enjoined for practical reasons. If so, why did the nearby cultures (Egypt, Greece, India) not also practice it? Was it not just a relatively harmless form of bodily mutilation going back to prehistory (the stone flint in Ex 4:25 reminds us that it originated well before iron came into use) made as an offering to God of something regarded as sacred? In any case, this is getting a bit off topic - the original question was about marrying one's sister-in-law.
