  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.

    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Yes I just keep thinking I should have asked more questions when my parents were still with us, my uncle Ron was only twenty eight when he died , and lived opposite Witton cemetery so my first searches were there , then most of the Elliotts were christened at st James Handsworth and a lot of family came from Aston Manor , so I never thought to check Handsworth Cemetery.Further more I didn’t know he was married so now I have other searches on my family tree,will keep you posted
