replied on: 4/6/2008 11:28:16 AM Jenny you wonderful, wonderful person, big hug from South Wales.  These reports have answered so many questions for me, and also posed a few more queries regarding family members I've not heared of. Most of them I can place but there are one or two strange names on there. I found it quite emotional reading the obituries, but also quite proud of them both, they where obviously a well respected couple. I can't remember where Marshall Street is in Heanor, any idea ? Thomas the tailor mentioned in William's obit died at Langley Mill on the 12th April 1898, but I've never been able to find where he was buried. Pushing my luck a little I know !!! Thanks again, Jenks |

replied on: 4/6/2008 5:45:40 PM Thanks for that. I think my cousin checked Aldercar over twenty years ago, I'm not sure if the records were as good then though. |
