Mary you did well I wish I could have been with you
I watch the TV as we were at our holiday home for the weekend I did stand up out of my chair at eleven o'clock I thought of my husbands uncle , my grt uncle and of Robert and i wondered if anyone was at the church from rootschat
He can have a little rest now until hopefully some relative can be found

Me at The Mecca....1965

I'm sorry Guys.....
Feel I let you all down, by not attending on Sunday.
We were going down on the Saturday, staying overnight, attending the morning service....and driving home.....
But with Robert's name not being read out until the 6.30pm service, we would have had to drive home in the dark, and neither of us enjoy it anymore....my eyes are not good, but better after my cataract operation.....and Jim is 74 years old. night driving really bothers him......
We are, however, committed to going to place flowers on Roberts grave.
We watched "My boy Jack" on Sunday evening, and it really brought home the plight of Our boys in WW1....and for Robert to come home, and die so soon afterward, was really sad.......
Jeannie

Don't let it worry you
I too don't like driving in the dark now
Your thoughts were there I'm sure

You didn't let us down Girlfriend .... NOT AT ALL !!!!!
I thought it would be a bit much having to wait till 6.30pm .... far too late for you to get back !!
I'm just glad we were all able to think about him .....
Poor Robert ..... he's never had so much attention ... I bet he's loving it !!

Got my eye on you!

Aw JeannieR I felt the same ...  I was in the middle of arranging to go when I read that his name was being read at the evening Service which was gong to make the day too long for us also  Nevertheless he was in my thoughts when I went to our local service.. I watched the Festival Of Remembrance on Saturday on BBCand I have to say I thought it was the best ever. Catherine Jenkins singing the theme from Band of Brothers moved me to tears. She looked stunning and has a voice to match . All in All ... A WEEK TO REMEMBER !

Hello Jeanny and All,
of course I would also be happy to make a "small" donation and even a "little more" for righting Robert's stone... and maybe to be among you the Rootschat meeting day... maybe...

Whilst in the churchyard today I was able to lift the headstone a few inches to read the inscription on the headstone.
It reads as follows:
In
Loving Memory
Robert William
Beloved Husband of
Elizabeth Neil Stead
Who died on 7th October 1926
Aged 30 Years
The stone face is in excellent condition and does not appear damaged by the fall. I was anxious to have a peek at the headstone to make sure the church records were correct and I was not going to incur the wrath of you all for raising false hopes.
lovely to meet with Mary also on Sunday.
Graham
