Hi all
 thanks for the replies, I have not been on the site for years, my mother in law died just shortly after I posted the question. As most of  you are aware sometimes the tree and all its questions just has to be left when more pressing matters come up.
 I have tried to PM Madagoo but your mail box must be full. If you are still interested PM me thanks.

Nice to be back

Hi Pennine.

I was amazed when I saw this photo, my father is on it, thank you so much for taking the time to post it. My father is CPL Moore on the back row. Dad passed away some 20years ago.
Mum told me that he had been in the field amublance, but didn't know anymore details than that.
This is a wonderful photo thank you so much,
By the way my dads name was Fred, although he was known as Eric to some people.

best wishes

Cheshire / Re: old barges
« on: Saturday 06 January 07 20:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Twigg,

I read with interst your post about the barges, My husband knew Harry Vaughan very well, he did as you say die a while back, I would, seeing as how you knew Harry if he was family You could try that book Burcough boatman and their marriage's it lists all those familiar names. It has been some time since I read the book so I am not sure weather or not it lists the names of the boats.
Harry was a great guy, showed my husband a lot of old rope tricks, he loved to talk did Harry I wish my husband had taped half of what he said it would have made my research a lot easier.

Best wishes

Cheshire / Re: Waterman Captain, what kind of boat where from and to.
« on: Saturday 06 January 07 19:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi There,

www.canaljunction.com  try this site and go to the Shopshire union canal it will give you a map, there are a few maps on here and you will be able to see where your boatman would have travelled, If he was coming to Liverpool at that time he may have been bringing salt to Liverpool, but don't take my word for it.
I am much in the same boat as yourself. looking for the marriage of a Chester boatman, all bit it a lot later than yours, I am starting to think that the captain of the barge married my two,or they didn't bother, I have looked everywhere. I was glad to read your post, made me glad it is not just me. Their first child was born in Liverpool according to the census, but I can find no record of his birth either, oh dear.
You could always try ST Nicholas church in Liverpool, Liverpool Library has their records on film.  The history of Chester and Liverpool is very interesting when studied from the boatmans view, I have learned a lot in the past few years searching for the marriage of George and Ann, Hmmm do you think it is a good excuse to buy a boat?????

bye

Hello everyone,

I am researching my mother in laws family, The Goodwins, in the course of my looking I have found that her Uncle, James Goodwin had a wholesale fruit and veg stall in Cazaneu Street,  it would seem that the rest of the family were also in the fruit trade. I believe that they had a shop in Knowsley Road Bootle which was knocked down to build part of what is now the Strand shopping centre
If you are a Goodwin or can  offer any help on this I would be most grateful,
My mother-in-law is ** (nee Goodwin) she is now 91 it would be nice to find a bit more info about that side of her family.

Best wishes to all

Hello again Biker,

Having a look though my stuff, since I last posted you, my Uncle was in 344, in 1943.
I did get his POW records from the Veterans Agency in Blackpool.
They were very helpful, 
If you get them I hope you can read German I was a bit stuck with that bit.
Looks like you have started me on a trial now Thanks.
By the way if you look on the link and go to We'll meet again then go to George Baker and look close at the photo it says Post office Stalag 344,
bye for now going back to have a look for my Uncle Jack

Hi

Don't know weather this helps, I sent for my husbands grandfathers WW1 records from the Coldstream Guards, when they came back they had listed on them his wife the children that he had when he had enlisted, and also the child he had after he had enlisted. all the names and dates of birth were on the records the wifes name age and their home address, the date and place of their marriage. All in all not a bad £20.00 worth.
I don't know weather every regiments records are as detailed.
It may be worth your while to hunt down his records.

hope this has been some help

Hi Biker,

Try this it may help
http://www.lamsdorfreunited.co.uk

My uncle was in Stalag V111b if you google that will bring up some stories on the peoples war site.
I have not done a lot of research on this uncle as yet but if you google Lamsdorfe death march That will bring up a lot more interesting stuff.
Those guys had a rough ride out there. My uncle has long since past away, so no information can be gained there, sorry.

hope this helps

Hi Jan

I saw that post about the postmen, shame but my granddad left before the war,So it is a bit before your book he did however get a imperial medal for long service from the post office. None of the family went into the post office, after him.
Would have been good if he was in there it is a trip to London to look up post office records, to far for me to go at the minute.

Thanks

San
