I know that site. Its the manchester.gov.uk site, but I cant find where I stored its proper site reference.
Maybe if you googled it you'd find it? Ill have a look and get back to you!
Unbelieveable that US native peoples would go to Manchester. Doesnt it rain a lot there?

I got it!
http://www.images.manchester.gov.uk and run down the page and put in Sioux Indians in the search box.
This is a real good site for anyone with Manchester oldies. Fascinating pictures of old row houses.

Black Heart of Whalley Range - isn't that brilliant!
Here's another interesting snippet .. George Williams aka Charging Thunder found work at Belle Vue Zoo as an animal keeper.
So I went looking through my book on the history of Belle Vue to see if George Williams/Charging Thunder was in it - he wasn't. But this was:
"In 1947 ... an attraction named 'Frogman Divers' ....operated by 3 demobilised midget submarine divers, one of whom possessed a Victoria Cross, who put on a display in which the public saw the divers getting through a replica of a midget sub's airlock with equipment, to make their way through mock obstruction nets" [from Looking Back at Belle Vue by Robert Nicholls]
It took me a long time to work out that it was the submarines that were midgets, not the divers  Anyway, the VC holder was Ian Edward Fraser, who was a colleague of James Magennis the Irish VC holder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Edward_Fraser
Is serendipity a posh word for 'wandering off topic'?

Don't know if any of you are close to Salford, but this coming Thursday 10th April there is a talk and film presentation being held at Langworthy Cornerstone, Salford.
6-8pm all about the Salford Sioux.
If I can get there I will, but I have prior engagements which I may not be able to get out off.
I am hoping I can, because one of my ancestors supposedley worked his passage back to England from America on one of Bill Coady's ships, and it would be great to find out if there is any documentation to support that.

Wonderful - they are handsome indeed - look a bit fed up at having to sit still though don't they?
But - Why has Migky's post of the marriage certificate been removed?
It was not of the original certificate. why would Migky have that? It is already online elsewhere.
Hope you are not on the naughty step Migky, seems unfair to me if you are. 
For anyone else who still wants to see the certificate it is here:
