Hi Josie, duuno if St Chads knows anything about the diiocesan records? They may keep master copies there if it was an RC Baptism. Because Maria is in a Public Grave, they like everyone or no one to be on any memorial - putting everyone on is tricky as they will insist you need their relatives...

Nice Pic Wendy, The large building at the top of the hill is still there - painted white - the GEM building. Just before it, you can see the pillars of the GPO Sorting office wall ans entrance. KH Cemetrery is opposite them

I drooled over your window just as you were taking it over! many a happy hour spent dreaming over the Hornby Catalogues!

I went to Central Grammer, behind these shops in Gressel lane. The end shop used to sell Hornby railways - often spent some time staring in that window!

Cheers Ell - A great pic of the part of the cemetery - not seen that shot before - they usually seem to cut out the cemetery! Brian

Cheers Bob, I understood one of my uncles worked with horses at hockley for a time, but never knew where!

I understood there were also stable there for the delivery horses, but unsure where. I can recall the warehouse that were still there in 1971/2 - massive places with space for hundreds of wagons.
