Hello Robb,
Regarding your Christopher research we think a family near us in Dorset could be related, as know they have a Newman connection mentioned.
My wife just sees them occasionally whilst shopping, but we could drop a little note through the door of their home if you think may be a good idea? Also know of a long-established Cutler family living not too far away, I used to do work for them one time.
Just a thought.

This is all fantastic  never in my wildest dreams did I think   so much info could be found   I can not thank you all enough  too to let you know the reasons for it all 
I have been trying to put together the life of Montague Christopher who was killed  WW1 age 32  leaving a widow and small children  Matilda his widow  was  my great great grandmothers niece  . they moved to Brigg in lincolnshire where  Monty joined the EAST YORKSHIRE  REG  His name is on the memorial  in the village   I have the address of the  home  that he left all those years ago never to see again ,   I remember as a youngster meeting Matilda in the 1960's and the stories my Mother and Aunt  told me of her and Monty  As I plan to go and visit COLINCAMPS
war graves this year to pay my respects  to those that fell  I have been trying to learn about the only member of our family to lose his life in that conflict .
all this information has given me an idea of his roots  and it has been wonderfull .
I would be delighted if you could drop a note in the door Midlanders I will pm MY DETAILS for you to give them 

Once again thank you all  I feel a bit closer to  Monty  today

Its  funny you should say what you did as because of Monty dying I have put extra effort into this

Until I started my Family research 2 yrs ago I did not realise that I had anyone die WW1 or WW2 from my ancestry. Now I know better and as it is Anzac Day today here in Australia attended my first Dawn Service to commemorate them

So to Monty and mine;

Lest we Forget
