Technical Help / What type of audio CD laser cleaner should I go for??
« on: Wednesday 02 September 20 18:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

In need of a bit of help here please, my audio CD has started skipping on occasions, (I have had it a while) but then realised the lens  has never been cleaned and wonder if this might be worth looking at before I give up on it.

I just wonder if any of you can suggest what actually works and what product I should look for?

Many thanks

World War One / Private William H Hutchinson - lost at sea in the sinking of RMS Leinster.
« on: Wednesday 07 November 18 22:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Chaps,

Another query if I may.

I know that this Great Uncle was drowned when the Leinster was torpedoed  and sunk off Ireland on 10.10.1918.

The tragedy is that he was returning home from the war, when the boat was sunk.  His body was washed up a month later on the Isle of Man, and he is buried in a war grave in the Douglas cemetery.
William's body was only identified because of his treasured letters in his top pocket from his family. He is also commemorated on his family's grave in Nottingham.
 
So my question is - if he was returning home to Nottingham, why would he have been going via Ireland on this Royal mail ship?  It seems such a curious route.

Are there likely to be any records for him anywhere?

Private William Herbert Hutchinson - 57451
7th (West & Cumb. Yeomanry) Bn Border Regiment
Died age 25

Would be so grateful for any help.

Thank you.

Hello  Chaps,

I am seeking some help please  - as I am entering an area in which I have no knowledge.

I would very much like to find out a bit more (if possible) about my great uncle.  Might it be possible to know things like the progression of his journey to the Somme?
Any information would be wonderful.

Private William Watson Parkin.

He died 1.7.1916  age 18 - and is commemorated on the Thiepval memorial.

He was with (3881). 1st/7th Bn.

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi,

I could really use some advice, I keep being reminded to "update" to google chrome by my computer.

Now - I am a creature of habit so not keen on making these sort of decisions.....should I just do it or should I go fire fox??

Any help much appreciated!

Hi,

Can anyone please do me a look up for the death of John Sutherland Wood in 2010 in Lancashire.

Sadly I only have the lesser subscription so I know he is there but I can't get at the record!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mods - sorry if I have placed this wrongly.

I have just heard about Geni.com, and wonder if it is worth joining as a free site - I would much appreciate all chatters input on the matter to help me decide if it is worth bothering with or not!

Thanks in anticipation...!
