Wow, that's a pretty comprehensive answer!

The map is brilliant, Ken.  Thank you very much!  I see what you mean about it having been slum cleared!

I think Manchester City Council/ Channel four should know about those hundeds of names!

Thank you again!

I will have another look for William Diggle's record.  I don't think it's been put on so far.

Best wishes

Not sure what you mean "I don't think it's been put on so far"  Huh

Are you talking about his name? or have I missed something  Tongue Tongue Tongue

Hi Ken

Sorry

Totally confused matters thinking aloud!

No, what you've done is absolutely brilliant.

I was thinking where I would go from here, like looking again for his service record on Ancestry.

Sorry about that.

Hi Annie

Thank you.

That's very kind, but I don't think his reco5rds have been put on line.

In fact, I suspect that they haven't survived.  I've been throgh what's on Ancestry and some of those are the some name repeated, though I'm keeping muy eye out for any new uploads.

Yes, I guess you mean the dancing boys this time.

They're brilliant, aren't they?

Thank you again!

Hi and Thank You to everyone who helped with this.   Smiley Smiley Smiley Cool Cool Smiley

Thank you again Ken for the wonderful photo's, much enjoyed.

I've been sharing them with another family member and she came to wondering what was the significance of him being on this particular memorial?  He wasn't born there unless they took in a wider area.  ?  Live in Collyhurst?  Belong to a certain Parish?  I was guessing he lived there, but when put on the spot of course I didn't actually know.

Then I thought maybe someone on here might know the answer to that, as well.  I'm guessing as it was by public subscription that the council had a hand in it.

Best wishes and Thank You again. Smiley
