Me too, over here. I take joy in 50% off the buses though

Happy birthday!

That is amazing! Great work everyone!

I applaud your honesty! So glad you are getting help for this finally. And I hope that you get support here and elsewhere!

There is a newspaper report from 1970, an inquest after Herbert Scragg died in a traffic accident...if I remember correctly...I was looking at it this morning but had to rush out. It mentioned son George and gave Herbert's age I think

I know! I'm just surprised that the Great T doesn't covet us too. But then again we have no exportable minerals

Bernard Manson 24 Years 2 Months
Cyril Manson 17 Years 11 Months
Ernest Manson 26 Years 5 Months
Harold Manson 21 Years 11 Months
Eliza Manson 57 Years 1 Month

I think it is a shame that the article only identifies them by their married names...maybe I've just been living in Iceland too long!

I am trying to work through the grand children here with Sarah Crowther in 1881 Most are women, so where do the children fit? 1881. Hill End, Dodderhill, Droitwich. Sarah Crowther, head, W, 54, Charwoman, Stourbridge Jane, g daur, 8,...CROWTHER, SARAH JANE CLARKE GRO Reference: 1872 S Quarter in DR...

There is a marriage for Annie Crowther to Richard Brittain in 1911 at Birmingham (on ancestry) it might have some names on it?
I suppose we are assuming that Charles Crowther died between the 1911 census and Jane's 1919 marriage, but she could have just moved out?

Is there a death for Charles Crowther? This one is right for age Crowther Charles 66 Burnley 8e 177 Birth 1851 Death 3 Nov 1917 (aged 65–66) Burial Burnley Cemetery Burnley, Burnley Borough, Lancashire, England Don't know what he would be doing there though and I think it probably isn't him

Is the marriage wrong/miss transcribed and on census? The marriage on BCC is fine: Marriage 15th June 1919 St Peter Walsall George Curnock- 68- Widower- Carpenter- 14 Littleton St- John Curnock Deceased- Carpenter Jane Rose - 62 Widow - 31 Day St - George Severns Deceased -Collier Banns Both signed...
