What happened when

[granny grump]

I thought that I wouldn't get any of these but I settled down last week - still off work with broken radius - and have surprised myself with those I found and also help from questions posed by other ABrs. But I still need the following: 1809 AWCDOW 1876 MTWTAOTS 1904 TBGO 1929 EMRWAQOTWF 1958 GAO 1960 USSDLD 1972 RLDATAHMYOSIK ( I know that this is something to do with Richard Leaky's fossil discovery in Kenya but I can't match the letters) Can any one confirm 1999 FBFATW I've got First black female at the White House but it doesn't quite scan. As always any help is gratefully received

Thank you kindly earthakitten I'm just left with one to get 1904 TBGO so I will keep goolging in the hope that I can finish it in time. As always I am very grateful for all the help I get on the site. Kind regards GG x

Hi there GG google Boleyn gardens. It does seem to fit but doesn't seem such a major event. See what you think. xx
