Biography

This biography is deliberately vague on some aspects of my life, but revealing in ways which I trust are of no interest to advertisers if they are passed on Growing up during the war and in its aftermath I was forced by rationing into a balanced diet, supplemented by vegetables and fruit from a large garden. This with the care of an intelligent and devoted mother saw us grow up 6 foot tall and inquisitively intelligent though in different ways. I was academic: I passed my 11 plus in the highest grade and went to a "good school" by bus every day. I went on to pass my GCEs a year early and my "A" levels well enough to go to university, the first, but by no means the last in my family. But I had lost contact with my friends and to a significant extent with my family. I had not the faintest idea how to make or keep friends, least of all girl friends, so it is not surprising that I never married. My job as a History teacher dominated ny life.

I have not received a response to my email sent 3rd August. There has been no work on your PIP Voyage profile since 6th July. Please advise by 20th August whether or not you intend to continue with the Voyage. If you wish to continue, please also resume improving that profile by the same date. If there is no response by 20th August you will be removed from the Voyage. You will be welcome to resume at another time, but you will have to wait in a queue until someone is available to work with you. We have a lengthy waiting list at the moment.

Hello David,

I have not received a response from you , and you have not made any edits to the profile for Arthur Mercer. We have a lengthy waiting list of people waiting to undertake the Voyage. If I do not receive a response from you, indicating that you are ready to participate, by 6th July, I will remove you from the active list. You will be welcome to return to the Voyage at another time, but please note that a wait time may be necessary.

Dear Leandra.

Thanks for this, which I am belatedly reading. My main computer has given up the ghost, taking my email contacts with it. I don't know if there is any way to postpone my entry into PIP, but that would be ideal for me. I have bought a new computer and should be fully back in action about 12 July.

I shall look at this page daily.

Hi David. Regarding Jane Danby/Anderson. I have been ill since before New Year and recovery is hindered by my medicine which makes me almost too giddy to think. Do go ahead with whatever you need to do. Hope to be back on form in a couple of days. C

Thanks C.,

I have taken it one stage further. We can consult further, hopefully soon, when we are both a little better. David.

Thanks for your comment, David. I have an instance of Waudby now associated in my tree, mentioned in the Will of my 6th great grandfather (which for the most part was pretty easy to read), but it apears written as Waudbly in the original will (I transcribed it but noted in parentheses the name as it appeared in the appropriate registers which was Waudby). Our thinking is aligned re the spelling conventions and trouble reading the writings of the day. I have a funny feeling we'll eventually find the two families connect at some point.

Happy Wikitreeing :) Raewyn

Hi David, Thank you for the information. I had thought that might have also had to do with the Colonies and a way for the child to be shown as an English Citizen. I look forward to reading your insights. Thank you

David,

Let me know if you need to be added to the trusted list of any of the profiles that I manage. Keep working on the Acklams there are just two centuries to go. We are about the same age. We grew-up in the best of times. Life will never give me enough time to finish what I have started here on WikiTree. However, If life permits we will get there!
