Website Update 19 August 2018

The website was updated 19 August 2018. 

131 new narratives have been added, and 50 changed, since the last website update on 14 March 2018. There are now a total of 12,483 detailed narratives available on the website and 20,047 people (176 new) in our database.

Unfortunately, this has been a long time coming. In April, and May, we experienced significant problems as our website host (for over 10 years) was taken over, and the new host took a long time to transfer the files across. 

Furthermore, simultaneously, we had major problems with the Windows 10 update, and lost all the data. Fortunately, we have a lot of backups and managed to overcome the initial issues. Then in June, another Windows 10 update to rectify the problems with the previous update, completely destroyed the computer. We then had to purchase a new computer and again reinstate all the files. Fortunately, everything is finally back to normal. 

Sincere thanks to all concerned with this latest website update.

George & Maria Simpson née Pask

This information relates to Chart 44: William PASK married Elizabeth c1814, and lived in Timberland, Lincolnshire.

Yesterday Marion Harper Hopkins, an ardent family history researcher, provided us with a transcript of the marriage of George Simpson to Maria Pask. They married in St. Michael's in Louth, Lincolnshire on 30 July 1899.

Marion is a fellow Guild of One-Name Studies member. She has been researching since 1989, and has one-name studies for the names HOPKIN(S), CRAMP(E) and BRAML(E)Y, and their variants. Marion and her husband Mick, frequently undertake marriage challenges. Last December they provided 55 Pask marriage transcripts from the Lincoln registration district (see Blog titled Lincoln Marriages), and previously they did a Lambeth marriage challenge (see Blog titled Lambeth Marriages). We are indebted for their contributions, and amazed at their energy and committment. Although not related to any Pasks, they have volunteered to take part in the next Pask Family Gathering on 3 July 2010.

This marriage and additional information on George & Maria Simpson née Pask will be included in the next website update.

Chart 44: William & Elizabeth Pask of Timberland Lincolnshire

This information relates to Chart 44: William PASK married Elizabeth c1814, and lived in Timberland, Lincolnshire.

Recent information gleaned from the Family Search new pilot site related to a Grimsby, Lincolnshire Pask family. A connection was linked back to a Timberland family, which may in turn be possibly linked back to the Wellingore branch of the family. Therefore we decided to show this as a separate family - chart 44.
