I had a lovely time at Manchester library. They have the original register in the archive for Westleigh St. Peter. As it has not been filmed yet you get to handle the original !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just imagine I was holding the very book where Joseph and Isabella signed in 1897.

In case this comes out unclear on the blog it reads :

hello again

Well, I have finally plucked up courage and opened a google account so that I can access this blog. Dear daughter was suppose to help me whilst on her Easter break from Uni but never found the time.

Just a quick update. I have not progressed any further with the Steele family tree. I have made a list of all the Steel(e) entries on the IGI for Manchester Parish Church and hope to go to the library soon (......no promises) to have a look at the original entries to see if there are anymore clues. I am reading about the history of Manchester at the moment. This month I have joined the Manchester Family History Society. I have some pictures of registers to post on here when I figure out how to load photos onto this computer.

However interesting developments on the other side of my family tree may well distract me from the Steeles and dear son is coming up to his GCSEs.

BIG BIG appology to Australia.

I do not like this new computer. I lost all passwords, favourite websites, saved information everything on the old computer. Everytime I come on I expect the same thing to happen again.

Take care.
