Breaking news - From: on Tue 11 Nov 2003, and wrote on Tue, 07 Dec 2004 Subject: Fitall research This is what I found today, will try and get back Thursday and look at more microfilm. So far the handwriting has been amazingly legible. It appears that George and Margaret had a child named George born a short while before their marriage or else there was another George and Margaret in that immediate area. They closed before I could get a good look at the 2nd film. Only got to the 2nd page. Sholden Register Parish of Sholden in Kent in the archdiocese of Canterbury This is all I machine copied today. It is a big hassle to copy up there. They only have one reader copier and you can only use it to copy so you have to keep taking the reels loose and holding your place and taking it to her to copy. She is a real nice lady. More from Betty 15 Nov 2003 Comment for September 12, 1813 This next record and the one for Hannah are on a different (the next) microfilm and the record for George is strange. It is on a form on one page and partialy covered by a sticker that says part of the page was damaged so I can only read part of it. Then on the next page it is listed differently.
