I’m sure that once the sun comes out and the leaves are clear the plot will look a lot much better, I know my uncle’s grave was covered in leaves and the stone vase structure was tilted on its side and turned sideways, obviously to face my grandparents grave which I didn’t know was there until...

That’s great news, I hope the plot wasn’t too overgrown and emotional after your search, was it in an area that you had already looked in Pete

Just stunning

Thanks again Lyn, we live in hope that someone out there may possibly have a photo of a relative with his mate Horace standing next to him , Pete

Hi Lyn, thank you for your message, yes we have searched his details on myheritage , unfortunately we have been unable to find any photos of what he looked like and just wondered if there where group photos maybe when he enlisted or during his short time in France Pete

Hi, all this talk of chocolate is making me hungry , back in the early’80s when I worked as a motorcycle courier one of my regular runs was from Cadbury in Birmingham to the Ind Coope factory in the Wirral to have new products such as biscuits and chocolate bars to be photographed for various...

Hi just a quick question which I’m sure has been asked many times, to upload a photo and resize it , how would I right click on an iPad , if you view my recent photo on the Handsworth Cemetery thread you’ll see my problem, I’ve only just stopped using my abacus and slate and chalk so any help...
