Slashdot has it here, I'll quote just a little to pad out my content:

The team collected clues from 48 Titanic rivets and found many riddled with high concentrations of slag, a glassy residue of smelting that can make iron brittle [...] With the right slag content they should have held up [...] Even a few failures because of flawed metal would have been sufficient to unzip entire seams

Read more. I haven't checked out slashdot.org for a while, I don't think they have Titanic related stories very often...

Dear Pauly:

Has anyone that has posted or who reads this blog ever heard of a man called "Rhodes Hazzard"? He is my GGG-grandfather who was b. 11 Oct. 1806, he turns up in Sussex County, Delaware (U.S.A.) (ref. "The History of Delaware" J. Thomas Scharf) and in the book, there is no reference to Rhodes' parents. His son, Thomas Hazzard told a census worker that Rhodes was from Scotland.

I am just wondering if during some research anybody has encountered that name.

Sincerely,

April Hunter

Got an email from someone in the USA trying to trace Clarke ancestors from the UK. I don't think we have any Clarkes in the USA, and said that by email, but thought I'd republish some info here in case anyone else can help. Jim Clarke says:

It is possible that the James Moore Clarke (b.1852) a carpenter who emigrated from England was from Hampshire,UK.

When he went back home for a visit and "disappeared" (1888 or later) he may have resettled there as it was known he wasn't very happy here.

The fact that he was from Hampshire doesn't appear on Jim's page for some reason, but some more background does:

James Moore Clarke(1852) who emigrated here from England, he was a carpenter. He married Louisa Miller(Oct,1861). Louisa was born here and they were married here. They had a son named John (Dec,1879)& lived on Harrison Street in Brooklyn. They then had four more children. Their names are as follows: My Great Grandfather Frank Clarke(Aug,1888), Eva Clarke(Nov,1883), Annie Clarke(May,1885) & Lucy Clarke(Birthdate not known).

Any information is helpful.

Maybe someone will stumble across this page in years to come and have an answer!

Aha, I've posted this before!

Damn, this keeps happening! Fixed again now.

This sounds good, there's a Jack the Ripper exhibition on at the Museum in Docklands. Not connected as such with my family, nor with your family I expect, but look, see, history and that. Fascinating stuff.

From 15 May - 2 November Museum in Docklands is returning to the scene of London's most infamous crimes in Jack the Ripper and the East End, the first exhibition to explore the Jack the Ripper murders and their legacy.

From police files and photographs to letters from the public and the supposed Ripper himself, examine, for the first time, surviving documents from the investigation and follow the crimes as they unfolded. With original 1880s artefacts also on show, you'll have the chance to analyse the evidence first-hand and reach your own conclusions about a story which continues to fascinate today.

Re: Windebank

My grandmother was Irene Victoria Windebank, born 1897 in Hambledon. Thus far I have gone back to Edward Windebank born 1820 Widley Hants. Can you offer me any links to living relatives or going further back. obviously I can bring her tree up to the present time.

My SAMWAYS ancestors are from Dorset, places such as Chaldon Herring, Dorchester, Wareham, Portesham, Little Bredy, Long Bredy, Fordington and Owermoigne.

I have researched my SAMWAYS folk back to the early 1700s, most of my research is online on my website:

standfieldtree.com

Anyone who thinks we may have a connection, please visit my site and leave a message in the Guest Book so I can contact you. I'm not sure of the link with the Hampshire SAMWAYS family, but it must be there somewhere if we look hard enough!

Hi I am trying to find info on my G.Grandfather William John Clarke, who lived in N.S.W. in the 1800's he married Rebecca Cleland and had 13 Children one of those was my Grandfather Alfred Edward Clarke who came to N.Z. in about 1889-1890.

William was an auditor by the records I have which is very little if there is anyone who could help me with my research I would appreciate some help'
