United States of America / Pelton Manor. New York
« on: Saturday 17 November 12 16:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hoping for some help .
I have found a family member, Arthur Stannard, born 1884 ,Stafford England . He worked as a Stud Groom at Bolton Priory ,Pelton Manor , New York .
It appears he came to New York around 1905 , then in 1915 his employer paid his passage  to UK and he volunteered to fight for his country  , then after the end of WW1 he returned to NewYork  Nov 10 1919.
His ex employer Fredrick Allen again paid his passage .
I was hoping to find more information on Arthur after his return , is there anywhere I could access that might help in my search ?
Any help appreciated

Graveyards and Gravestones / Headstone markings
« on: Saturday 13 February 10 22:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I have just located my Gt Grandparents burial site and it has Large black polished headstone and vase ..As far as I am aware they have no connection to the Jewish faith,but there is a Star of David on both the headstone and vase . Does anyone know if the star is used on a headstone, to symbolise anything else besides the Jewish faith. I believe it was erected after death of my Gt. Grandfather in 1949..
Any help appreciated
