Politicians are always talking about something or other:) Just to make my last message a bit clearer...Looking at the returns from 1945. 2005 was the second lowest turnout, the lowest being 59.45% in 2001. I think I made it look like 1945 being a low turnout when it was in fact 72.8%. Gerard

I have not really followed this thread, but I had a quick scan at the posts. It has been mentioned that the name White was tied in as per Ancestry ( I have not checked this). However there is a baptism for Abraham WHITE at Gt Bardfield 19th April 1840 on FamilySearch which gives the name of the...

Using a maiden name in the UK (and I know it was also used in the USA) was not uncommon and sometimes carried through the generations. My ggggm was Mary Powell and the name Powell was used as a second forename for males until the last generation. Gerard

Hello, Have a look here. I do not suppose this was completely standard but at worst it is a "rough" guide. Cheers, Gerard
