    Oh Lord, I'm on there, in the two years I used as a search parameter there are two others with the same first and last name as myself, just different middle names, one I already knew of but not the other. And to think that before #2 turned up I thought I was unique, now there's three of us and all born in Essex. :( :)

    Mine's been there ages too (I did post yesterday but it wasn't accepted :() and I am amazed at how many of me there are/were. I seem to have been there right from the start of registration in 1837 up until the 1970's......and there was me thinking I was pretty unique :oops:

    I think {-(^^)-}all round

    My younger granddaughter told me recently that her mom had been showing her how I found records on various sites. "Guess what granddad. You were telling the truth when you told me you and nanny got married"!!!!!

    A chap I 'work' with used to work for the Post Office. For a laugh, I was intending to look up his entry and then 'chide' him as being so old that he had his own record on Ancestry.:)

    However, I can't find his entry, under any spelling. Damn!:(

    I can find my sister's entry, in the 1950's, but not his.:confused:

    No, merely hiding under a maturational cloud of uncertainty and what's more, most of us didn't really notice anyway!
