No! I Havn"t deserted FHUK

[Littlemo]

Hi All,
No I havn"t joined my dear departed ancestors, or eloped with Paxo(Worse Luck) I have just had to give myself a break as I was going round in circles and meeting myself coming back (Not a Pretty Sight)
Anyway I feel refreshed and ready to go again, and try and knock down a few more Brick Walls
I have bought anoth 5 various ertificates which have given me a bit more info. I didn"t know anything about my GGGrandad not even his name, but I have bought a Marriage Cert. for my GGUncle and according to that, his name was Michael Meledy and he was a Soldier (He was also Deceased by 1896) My GGGran Elizabeth was born in Calcutta India in 1866, has anyone any idea how I can find out which Regiments were serving there then? I honestly have no idea where to startIt really is becoming quite spooky this connection between Michaels and soldiers in my family.As I have mentioned before, I called my son Michael and he served with the Paras , and of course then I knew nothing about my Relies
Any suggestions on how to take another brick out of this particular wall would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Hunting All
Luv Littlemo

Oh Mo, and I've been scanning the newspapers for ransom demands for the release of 'Paxo'.:biggrin: :biggrin:
Nice to see you back.:kissu:
I know what you mean about 'circles', but i think it's my inexperience.

Hi Ben & Steve,
Good to hear from you both again. Might have known you would have something to say on the Paxo front Steve:biggrin: Must admit though, I"m still as besotted as ever, still playing the tape of "The Victorians" Ah me! what a sad life I do lead
Luv Mo

Not at all Mo, if he puts a smile on ya face, then so be it.
I like him for what he is, a no nonsense yorkshire lad. I especially liked his stint on WDYTYA.
So I guess by your measure I'm a saddo as well. Long live saddo's.:2fun: :2fun:

Hi julie, I"ve joined FIBIS, as it seems quite good for a £15 a year membership, so if I manage to find out any more about the Meledys I will let you know. Thanks
