    Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy Christmas to all my old O & O friends, and any new ones peeping in the window. So it's all rolled round again, hasn't it? Who is still hanging around here? I hope that you enjoy good health and keep yourselves active and amused. My Christmas cards have been posted as usual, less four who have sadly passed away. This Christmas will be the same this year as every other year for us, eat a lot, watch TV, doze off beside the fire and later crawl to bed, a very pleasant Christmas all round I think. May you all be safe, warm and well over these Christmassy days and A Very Happy New Year to one and all.

    Thank you for starting this Jelly! Yes still hanging in here. Just checked to see the Werburgh BMD record place is still closed. OK can one email for specific certs but nothing beats a good browse. Also I am sad to see the reduction in service at the research room in Pearse Library. I have no sub to Ancestry at the moment after many years of various methods. They rejected my DNA sample and need to do it again but begrudge paying up to see results and then they have my data forever.

    Greetings to all and here is looking forward to release of 1926 census!

    Yes Cobby, the services have all gone to pot for genealogy, a pity, seeing as tourists all over the world are encouraged to come and look up their ould grandfathers. Can't wait for the 1926 Census!!!

    This is the saddest thread in O&O's, ever! 61 peeping in the window and only one response. Everyone's gone. Time to pack up methinks. 😢

    Mostly wandering away I think JB, I am still around but I have been pretty sick and didn't work up the energy to reply, I am much improved now but yes, we are getting older. Wishing you and anyone else who looks in a happy new year.

    Sorry you've been ill Looksee, possibly the reason so many of us aren't around any more which is very sad. I'm not in tip top condition myself either but I hang on online for a bit of diversion from the same-old-same-old every day. Happy New Year, take care of yourself and maybe we'll chat at some time in the future again.

    Happy New Year. Are you new here on O&O's? Come in, sit down, the fire's going and the kettle's on. 🙂

    Hi all. I'm still here…like a bad smell you just can't get rid of. :) Sadly, I don't have as much free time as I once did so my time hanging around with ye all in the oul nursing home is a bit limited.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.
