London and Middlesex / Henry Plough died 1927 Staines Middlesex
« on: Sunday 05 April 20 15:31 BST (UK) »Hoping someone can help.
I’m trying to confirm that the Henry Plough who died Mar Quart 1927 in Staines was the husband of my Grandfathers cousin, Helen Bruce Plough nee Howie.
Henry was a Master Mariner born in Northumberland 1865/66, they married in Glasgow and both their sons were born there. I think Helen may have travelled with Henry quite frequently and have the feeling that their base was in England. No sign of either in Scotland after birth second son, until Helen B appears on the Valuation Rolls 1930 for Glasgow as Proprietor, occupier. Helen died 1945 in Glasgow no death recorded in Scotland for Henry.
As I’m only a cousin 2x removed on the Howie side I have never gone beyond noting the 1927 death in Staines as most likely. Now I’m in contact with a Plough Relation and would like to verify this for them.
Thank you for reading this and in advance for any help you can offer

He was a supporter of working class poets and I own a 1st edition of a book which without his support may never have been printed.I can’t remember the exact title( son-in-law has it at the moment ) but think it is Autobiography Songs and Poems of Ellen Johnston the Factory Girl.

The Common Room / RAF Padgate 1941
« on: Thursday 18 April 19 15:44 BST (UK) »
Hi All, thought I'd post this as it might be of interest to someone out there.
I have a photograph taken at RAF Padgate and dated February 1941. It does not appear to be an official photo and of most interest is that all the men have signed the back
I'm not able to post it as I use an iPad but if anyone thinks it could be of interest to them I will email them a copy.

PS I have 2 more taken in Torquay 1942 ( no names ) and a few odds and end taken in Swift Current 1942.
