Holiday or will it be?

I have just finished work for the week and have one or two little projects that I want to get started and a few more that I want to finish.
I have heard from the researcher re- Mary Yale and intend to go ahead with that project as soon as possible.
Family history wise I intend to visit Flintham sometime this week to see if I can photograph the graves of the Cheethams in the churchyard there. These are the ancestors I am furthest back with at the moment.
I want to start an ebay page to buy and sell old documents and letters (another of my interests) which I might also incorporate into the oldmeadows web site. I might also include old photographs and albums etc.

Web site update

I have been working on the menu for the web site all weekend and think I have just about cracked it. Keep checking www.theoldmeadows.site90.net
to keep up with developments. Ive sent for an estimate for the research in to the papers of Mary Yale today so hopefully I'll get a favourable response some time in the week.

Tree on line

Hi all,
I've just put the family tree on the web at Ancestry uk so anyone interested can look it up on there, although I'm not sure if you have to be a paying member. Those of you who aren't will soon be able to view it on the website at www.theoldmeadows.co.uk.
I'm still working on it but the menus are a bit of a headache.
I've had one or two answers to my email queries about Mary Yale and her family but nothing thats taken me any further, but it's early days yet.

Brick Walls

Nearly everyone in family history circles come up to a brick wall every now and again. I have reached that point with my great grandfather, John Quarrell Chaplin. I have him on the 1901 census living in Nottingham but I can find no sign of his death in the BMD indexes. Similarly with his father, Thomas, I can find no record of his death.
On a brighter note I have found out a bit more about Mary Yale. The copy of the will of Isabella Fenton ties Mary in to that family as it mentions her as "my daughter, Mary Yale." I have to write off now to the archives in West Yorkshire to see if they have information that might help me.
