Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I saw Michael's suggestion last month that we re-post - I'm a little late
but here is a copy of my previous postings for the new ones or anyone else
who might have missed them:
My g-grandmother Ann Sarah CHEESEMAN was born on 10 Feb 1838 at 5 Waterloo
Place, Clerkenwell in the parish of St James. Her parents were William,
printer's warehouseman and Mary, formerly HARSTON.
I thought this would make them easy to find in the 1841 census, but I could
not find them at that address. As it was a film I viewed several years ago
when a 'newby' I feel that I should look at it again. However, before doing
so I thought I would try this list to see if any one has a connection with
this family, has an index to the 1841, or has anything on a database which
might help me.
Annie's obit. stated that she emigrated to Australia with three sisters
but I have only confirmed one of these, Jessie Maria who married Geo Clark
REDMAN in Aus. One sister marr. a SMITH and had sons Vernon, Frank & Sid in
Eng.
*******
My grandmother used to correspond with her cousin in England but contact has
been lost with the family. He was Fred CHEESMAN a.k.a Fred Gwyn and 'Dimples
the clown' who lived at Harrow. His nephew Frank CHEESMAN was known as
Frank Norris and he was involved with entertaining the troops during the war
and later worked on cruise ships. Frank's wife Hylda had a Dancing School at
Ilford.
Other information I have gleaned from his old letters are that he had a
brothers Lewis, Alf (died in the Boer War), Frank and a sister Gertie.
Does anyone recognise this family?
*******
Has anyone heard of Frank CHEESEMAN who was a bandsman and musician? I
believe he was the brother of Ann Sarah b1838 and possibly the father of
Frank and Fred mentioned in my other postings.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who has a connection or any further
information

The lists will be down starting tomorrow 23 FEB.
Here is the corrected announcement!
Rootsweb have advised listowners that essential maintenance work
will take place on the lists on FRIDAY 23rd FEBRUARY and that lists will be
'down'. It will start at 8am US time (Pacific Standard Time)...), 4pm for
the UK - 1am to 3am Saturday 24th Aussie time
and 5am in New Zealand! It may take up to 24 hours to complete so
if you do not receive any mail in this time, this is why. I don't
know what will happen to mail sent. You won't be able to sub and
unsub (as far as I know) during the work, so if you need to unsub
for the weekend, do so now!
regards
Michael Cheeseman
