With regards to Nell1850's request for information on William Henehan,i have Williams Death Penny and Medals.They were given to me by his Sister " Aunty Norah" in the 70s. Norah was my Grandmothers next  door neighbour in Derby and i spent a lot of time in her company as a child.
Oh my goodness- what a surprise! I would love to get in touch with you privately but I see you are new to Rootschat. You need to have posted 2 messages before we can communicate via the personal message service. Perhaps you could post a couple of messages and then we can exchange details? This is is so exciting!
Best wishes
Nell

ps Sarah - thank you also for tidying up the photo - still not sure which Henehan he is!

Sorry Puggled84 - in my haste and excitement I forgot to explain my relationship to William Henehan. He was my great great uncle. Norah's father was my great grandmother's brother.
I am in touch with family members in Derby and met them for the first time a couple of years ago. I would love to know more about Norah.
Best wishes
