Lincolnshire / Re: Section plan of Scartho Road Cemetery
« on: Sunday 30 May 21 18:06 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Thanks everybody for your input.  I first went to the cemetery yesterday and did look for any grounds staff but not a soul in sight!  It was Saturday, so perhaps they don't work weekends.

I went on the Gravestonephotos site that you gave me Bee and I am so thrilled, I have found a photo of Charles Colin's gravestone!  At the cemetery, as I was told by my sister in law, there was a wooden cross, that's what I was looking for, so didn't bother looking at any gravestones.  I think from the map, I know where it is now.  Thank you also Glen in Tinsel Kni, for the findagrave website.

Thank you very much all of you for your help.  It's very much appreciated.  As usuall, Rootschat comes up trumps once again!  You are amazing people.

Lincolnshire / Section plan of Scartho Road Cemetery
« on: Sunday 30 May 21 16:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me with a section plan of Scartho Road Cemetery.  I am searching for the grave of Charles Colin Lusby, on behalf of my sister in law who lives in Canada.  Charles Colin was her brother and died on 6th December 1941 age 4 years and was buried on the 10th December 1941.  I have a copy of the burial register which tells me that Charles Colin is buried in section 123, Row C, grave no. 6.

My sister in law told me that he had a wooden cross, which their father used to go and give a coat of varnish, from time to time.  When she mentioned a wooden cross, I thought that there was no way that was still going to be there after 80 years, but I spent 2 hours yesterday looking round the cemetery at as many wooden crosses I could find and I was surprised to find there were still some there from that time and before but sadly not one for Charles.

As I didn't know where section 123 was, I am not sure that I was looking in the right place, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Diana

Thank you so much Arthurk, it's very much appreciated and I am thrilled to bits to have the title.
Thank you Bookbox, yes I had heard that part of it, but couldn't remember it well enough to write it down!

Armed Forces / Title of a military march

Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate request.  If it is, please delete it.  I would like to know the title of a military march, the notes of which, I have attached below.  I am hoping that someone who has played in a military band might recognise it.

Thank you very much in advance.

That's brilliant, thank you Hugh.  So the trawler sailed out of Boston.  I wonder how that worked, when George lived in Grimsby?

How can I access that article please?

Thanks,

Diana

Lincolnshire / rescue of a ships crew by George Prike, Skipper of the Leverton trawler

I wondered if anyone could throw any light on a story I have been told, regarding the rescue of a ship's crew, by my relative George Prike.  It possibly happened around 1893 and I think George and his crew received awards for this. 

At the time, George was Skipper of the trawler Leverton.  He was living in Grimsby in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses, so possibly this ship sailed out of there.

Thanks for any help.
