Whilst the obituary is not a normal item of information we normally print on the web page, Laverne Bunting Hayes , an American Member, rightly has drawn our attention to the matter Malcom dealt with on behalf of our Society, which only she knew about.

If you are having problems seeing text on this, or any other, web site then the following information may be useful to you.

Dear Buntons/Buntings

I am currently in Ausrtalia.  If anyone is near to my route and would like to meet up plese email me on mary.rix@one-name.org

You may be aware of the following excellent sites but just in case here they are.

A brand new transcription of the 1901 census with newly scanned high-quality images is now complete on findmypast.com.

The UK Probate (Wills) Service has published a questionaire regarding payment for a copy of the Calendar or the Will itself.

This is particularly relevant to non-UK citizens and for those who live outside the London area..

The official closing date for replies is tomorrow 27th March 2009.

I will ask John Briden to postpone closure until after the weekend so keep sending replies until then just in case they are accepted.

The pay per view commercial site "Find My Past" has changed its name to "Bright Solid". Also the firm has revised its Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions for the use of its web site. Each may be found at findmypast.com blog, which explains the changes in detail.

I was very pleased to discover that the Old Bailey has an on-line database containing photographs and transcripts of its ledgers minuting the criminal court's proceedings from 1674-1913. It is free to access and has a superb search engine. I found it really helpful. If you have relatives who might have been found guilty or not guilty there go and have a look or if you are feeling inquisitive simply type in Bunting and look at them all.
