Thanks for the link San, some interesting info and pictures on there, will have to Bookmark it.

Linell.

Very poignant, San and linell. I had his birth and parents but not his death at Gallipoli, I saw the battlefield and memorial three years ago. Richard was my 5th cousin twice removed.

Sorry I've been inactive lately, folks, we were Down Under for a month mid Jan-mid Feb. I hope to be more useful from now on

Nice to see you are back on the trail Dennis, hope you enjoyed your sabbatical...............you have at least, well almost, missed the worst of the weather here. Sure San will be delighted to know that Richard Plant connects to you.

Jan, should I add this information to BCC or not?

Many thanks, beardie, I have an Adam Plant b. about 1898 Rowley Regis, about the right age, son of Jospeh Plant and Elizabeth Harvey, grandson of William Warwick Plant and Ruth Willetts, great grandson of Ezekiel Plant and Abiah Clarke. Computer says he's also my 5th cousin twice removed!
