I crosschecked the date of Horace Barnard Coy’s marriage with those of any Littles on FreeBMD and it turns out Sophie Little was really Hannah Sophia Little and I now by way of the 1881 and 1901 censuses know about some of her family - it seems there are a lot of fishermen in my roots and some bizarre triangle consisting of Grimsby (New Clee/Clee with Weelsby), Sheringham and Withernsea.
I’ve updated the Bosman/Coy/Partridge/Packham* Ferris/Langstone** family genealogy pages with nearly everything I know - I need to add lots of source details and I want to rationalise the place names.
*My grandparents’ surnames
**Ruth’s parents’ surnames
I’ve installed PhpGedView and my current site can be accessed at http://ccgi.bouncebounce.plus.com/genealogy.
Update 23-Jul-06: My domain is now live so the URL is http://www.stevebosman.co.uk/genealogy.
Came across this website and it is very good (if a bit buggy).
I’m playing about with GEDXML at the moment, not that I really want to write a genealogy program, more because I want to use some XML, Java 5 (or 1.5 as I think about it) and Swing. I don’t use Swing at work and it will be a while before we move to Java 5 so I need the practice.
Started my Family History pages, not much yet just a few Bosman and Coy names and a write up about Barney Coy.
