I have a child in my Tree, his name was Thomas Gleave b.1895 died 1905 in Manchester.  His parents were Ellis and Ellen Gleave.  I have a clipping from the Manchester Evening News 12th May 1905 Page 3 telling of how Thomas had an accident and died from his injuries. Would anyone be able to tell me where he is buried?

US Lookup Requests / James O'Reilly or Reilly
« on: Tuesday 23 August 22 22:21 BST (UK)  »
I'm afraid I don't have any definite dates for this request.  I'm trying to help a friend find her grandfather James O'Reilly.  He was born in Galway and was married to Ellen Bergin/Berrigan with 6 children.  He decided to leave the family in Ireland and went to Boston, US around 1940-1950s.  He got himself a job on the trolley buses as an Inspector.  He was involved in a trolley bus accident where he was killed.  His wife in Ireland was paid a pension from the company until she died.
I have been looking for any newspaper clips or other informationa about the accident but have had no luck so far.  Could anybody have any better luck than me? Any help appreciated.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Manchester Address of Vesta Street
« on: Sunday 13 February 22 12:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have been looking for the Manchester address of Vesta Street where some of my descendants lived in 1900 both at numbers 5 and 11.  I can't find anything about it online, its all advertising for the new waterside homes so I presume Vesta Street was near the canal and must have been pulled down by now.  A picture of how it used to be would be nice if anyone has one.  Appreciate any help.

World War Two / BLAKANG MATI ISLAND
« on: Tuesday 01 February 22 16:29 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to research my uncle Leonard Scholes who was in the Navy in WW2 at the above place which I believe is now called Fort Siloso, Singapore.  I have photos taken in 1945 but can find no records of him being in Singapore or for that matter anywhere, all I know he was in the Navy in the Far East.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Marriage for October 1921
« on: Thursday 20 January 22 16:34 GMT (UK)  »
My great uncle Ralph McMullen married Hilda Carmen Blakey in October 1921.  Marriage records show place of marriage as Prestwich but I have a photograph outside the church which has writing on the back showing - "Ralph & Hilda's marriage St Anne's Crumpsall."
Can any kind person find the marriage registration showing the wedding was in St Anne's? Could St Anne's have been classed as Crumpsall?
Any help appreciated

Armed Forces / McMULLEN family
« on: Thursday 30 December 21 12:02 GMT (UK)  »
I have been researching this family for a while and found father James McMullen died in India in 1864 of cholera while serving in an Irish Military Unit.  I'm now trying to find more information about his son Joseph McMullen who was born in India in 1865.  He married in 1886 and his wife was then living in Yorkshire. The little information I have is that he was a Corporal of 7th Dragoon Guards in 1871 and shows him born in Ireland but I have him born in India although his mother married again immediately and came back to England and he was certainly back in Yorkshire in 1891.
Any information would be appreciated.
