        Received, and how interesting! Looks like they had to call in experts in his handwriting - still working on it & will send my ideas back this afternoon, I've got a new "walking cast" on my leg & son's going to supervise a walk over to work so I can join them for coffee

              Vikki - is this one of your Lincolnshire Dawsons? Where did he live? I have transcribed the will of William Dawson of Threckingham who died in 1752.

                Hi Elizabeth, Long time no speak - Yes it is one of my Lincolnshire Dawsons, Well sort of - I think!!!!! He was born there but died in Stanmore, Middlesex in 1810

                    *Waves to Vikki*

                    Vikki, is it done now? If you want a hand just yell! (Sorry I didn't reply last night - things a bit manic here as I'm trying to organise bridesmaids' dresses and do lots of internet searches.)

                      I set it to Vikki a couple of days ago, though there we a couple of words I couldn't quite get.

                      Lisajj if you want some practice I've got some of my own that I've done that you can have a go at, let me know

                        Jill, I'm glad you are keeping busy while you are laid up! (I hope everything is healing OK.) No more trips to the Probate Office for a while?

                          Still at home Elizabeth, though I'm more mobile now - I'm allowed back to work on Monday at school for light duties though no lollipop duty for at least a month. I don't expect to go to the probate office til Easter, but I've got an ENORMOUS list now!
