Thanks Dave!
Pleased you like it and thanks for your sentiments; it is a rare day indeed that I receive a response to any of my postings.

In the period prior to the introduction of civil registration, newspaper announcements of birth, deaths and marriages are important and often provide information that a registration certificate does not.

I would be pleased to hear from CTI listers who find these posts interesting and useful. Should I continue?

All the best,
Len

Thanks Len, I always read these -- and today I learned two things

1. the meaning of instant vs. ultimo (current month vs. prior -- had to look it up!)
2. folks could make some stunning choices  over religion
   (Rita Gomez, a Portuguese Protestant... The Roman Catholic authorities refusing permission for interment, the body was thrown into the sea).

Appreciate all you do!

Dave

Len what you do is fantastic  -- please keep it up (within your personal limits, of course - you have to have a life!)

I hope for the day when something pops up that unblocks some of my walls.

Meantime they are great reads and reflections of the times.. Colour expressive language, and the  social customs of the day broadens the mind !

James

Please continue. Because we are too lazy to reply doesn't mean we don't value them.

Len, you do amazing work and I thank you for it.
Like others, I haven’t thanked you before because I didn’t want to clutter up the feed.
I read everything you put up.
Thanks again.

I too enjoy them. Have found a few things relative to my grandfather’s McCann / Davison family over the years.  I have many old newspaper articles but have never shared as I’m not sure exactly what you’d want to add or how to share findings.  Or the legality of sharing an article that I copied from findmypast.  Can someone transcribe an article or send a file of such an article??

Maybe you could give an idea of what you want shared.  And who to address it to.
