Re: Parkes/Isherwood
In Response To: Re: Parkes/Isherwood ()

all my refs to Isherwoods in Victorian directories are to John (in 1881 only but not later) and Elizabeth I. of 6 May Hill Ramsey (in 1894 and earlier).

Susanne - there is a common feature I've found with many posters in they look with tunnel vision at the answer and don't read additional info, though later they often come back to you to repeat the info that you have just given them! Maybe just a common human 'failing' or an example of the single-mindedness so typical of many family historians - a computer version of the little notebook in which apparently unconnected info can be stored is very useful (and unlike pencil jottings can both be read and located at some later time!)
