Do you know you are not on Free BMD and you knew you were on a winner marrying a lady with that surname :wink:
I knew FreeBMD haven't got around to us yet. And as for surnames in Eleanor's family... add Roberts, Thomas, and of course Jones! :cry: :roll:

Altogether now....
And did you know, in ancient times.....?
Dickiesam appears to predate Scouser!

See: http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/podc ... e_city.asp
The 6th of December is St Nicholas’ Day, a day of special significance to Liverpool because the old way of judging a Scouser was to say ‘a person born within the sound of St Nicholas’ bells’. A person born within the sound of St Nicholas’ bells would be called a Dickie Sam in the 18th century, rather like Cockneys are those born within the sound of Bow bells. That lasted until sometime in the 19th century.
And not many people know that.... :D :D
