Hi, I'm also interested in Borrett family. I have a Hannah Borrett , daughter of Daniel Borrett and Grace Willson, who married Charles Thurston. Her son George Thurston was born about 1792. He married Charlotte Jefferies in 1816. I believe they were…
No, sorry. I am researching the Borrett family for a friend whose great-grandfather was a GEORGE BORRETT born in Stradbroke about 1840/41. Any information you come across about him would be helpful.
I believe he married an ELIZABETH HUGGETT in 1865…
A really nice feature of this new website is that you can customise your own information page! When you 'sign in' you might notice the menu at the top of the page changes and a new item called 'My Page' appears. This is what it says - a page for you!
You can change the 'theme' (colours and patterns) for your page very easily (look at the menu on the left) - and most importantly - put up a 'photo' to replace the village sign silhouette that comes up by default! It'd be great to see a photo, but some people prefer to use a cartoon, or a picture of something that represents their interests.
Your 'My Page' is good place to put a little information about yourself - eg your family history research or village interests so other members can see it, and maybe share info with you! This is also the page where you can share photographs too - it would be lovely to see pictures of the village for example, old or new!
Have a play with it and have a look at what others have done with their 'My Page' by clicking on 'Members' in the menu!
Most of all though, 'Welcome' we're pleased you've joined and hope you find the site enjoyable.
