Wishing everyone a merry christmas, not long now :))

so all the graves are next to each other, some are a little off though to where it indicates on the map. Its very overgrown all that area so its hard to see them all. But I just don't get where 4/87 would be.

Yes I think the empty squares represent a grave, I just don't know where id place the one im looking for... Out of all the cemetery maps ive looked at ( and that's a lot) this is the only one where the numbers aren't in order which is frustrating.

Map :)

Hi all, this map I’m going to share isn’t the original graveyard map, but it’s the oldest one they have. Facing the church this covers most of the left hand side. This map is the only one that corresponds with the original register St Chads have. I was looking for Iommi 4/183 and Iommi 4/87. As...

This is one of my favourites, along with home alone and elf :)

I was searching like yourself around 6 months ago, I discovered that st chad cathedral in Birmingham City centre hold catholic burials, the archivist works thursdays/fridays, if you send an email she can check for you. All other burials if not on the Birmingham City website, the library in town...

Just wanted to share this :) as you’ve all helped me piece together who Alfred was, and that he wasn’t actually a foster but took the name. My cousin went over to France today to find him :)

Hiiii can I confirm that section D corresponds with the number 60?

Yes his headstone and the plaque both say foster, but as some repair work is being made to the plaque thought it would be nice to also make note of the other surname. But as cannot be sure on it, better not :)

Hmm its all abit odd..... you no what thou, the surviving sibling which is my line, Alexandra, she always said she had half siblings no full ones, so violet would of died by then and im guessing she was on about Alfred. But there was no dna back then if in doubt and the fathers name is on the...

It says father of solider deceased. we know he wasn't as he had another family didn't he? but they may not of known that.

just going back thru things and just noticed this... odd

Sounds delicious, roll on xmas day :))

So apart from the main meat…. Do we also have pigs in blankets & sprouts on our plates for Christmas ???!!!!

That’s a good point, maybe he did want to sound English.

Really odd! Like u say one of those mysteries! That id love to find out

I think we can rule out that he was the son of Foster as he already had a son called Alfred so I don't they would use that name again, so I think the other two options. It also crossed my mind that his father left and he didn't have a relationship and maybe he didn't want that name. They found...

I was actually watching about king Richard III they found under a car park and they done exactly that, extracted his dna and traced down 16 lines to present day to identify him. Its a head scratcher why he took the Foster name, im guessing his father wasn't present and he took his moms...

Right ok.. hmmm .. a family member is in possession of a plaque that they are getting re done and placing it at his grave in France... before I relay this story just wanted to get the facts right. Im going to go with that he was a Pechio from the birth record :)
