In my world it's an indicator of quoting, just as immediately above; the number of > signs showing the level of nesting of quotation. For more detail see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Quoted_line_prefix, starting at "Quoted line prefix".


If your correspondent hasn't prefixed it with an attribution line, possibly they've done a copy and paste from somewhere.

I don't have a tablet, but I used to use one of those stick things on my mobile until my daughter unkindly laughed at me.


I found that once I got used to it, using my ancient huge fingers on the tiny keyboard was actually quite easy :))

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
