Hello MaryA and Everyone You are very welcome. I know a lot of us forget to mention to thank you. It is very hard to give so much of yourself and not be thanked. It cost nothing and is only right to thank and remember all those members who share skills, knowledge and enthusiasm it teaches us so muc...

Hello Mary, Linda and everyone Nice to hear from you. Yes Mary was right I would not be far away. I have been a bit busy of late so not been around as much as usual.

Hello MaryA and everyone.

Yes it does sound ideal and it is in it's own area so I too have my fingers crossed. It will be nice to go and see the memorial instead of it being locked away.


Kind regards

Hi MaryA and Everyone I am using Explorer 11 at the moment, I used to use Google Chrome as and when I needed but usually as the last resort when a site did'nt like Explorer. So not sure what I will go with. I even had an issue turning the new one off, I can't cope with the whizzy screens so I had a ...

Hello MaryA and everyone I will search and see if I can find a death. Give me a couple of days and hopefully I will find a certificate that you can actually read.

Hi Daggers, MaryA and everyone. I understand that the churches are not authorised or even considered by the diocese. I can see what you mean about keeping it in the Edge Lane area. It would be nice but cannot see it. It could go back in the St Cypriot’s church building when regenerated, but if it is...

Hello Alcavtay, MaryA and Everyone I will keep you up to date with developments. I will see how Tony gets on then the Echo would be a good idea. I would like to see the stones in a place that is easy for people to see. I find people don't go out their way for anything these days. If you can see them...

Hello Mary and Everyone I can always ask I need to find out whom to contact, any ideas of who would be welcome.

Hi Mary and everyone Thank you it is really good hearing about and sharing our soldiers lives and deaths.

Hi Blue I never considered that but it is worth a look when I get to the records office in the school holidays. As you say Everton Cemetery was near their house. I suspect her husband was catholic the families did not get on and maybe it was down to religion. It was a hot potatoe in those days. Chur...
