Armed Forces / Date/uniform ID for mystery man
« on: Thursday 21 February 08 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
This is a photo on a postcard.  Unfortunately there is no message to help work out who he may be.  I thought it might be from WW1
Sorry about the low res but wondered if anyone might at least point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

Lancashire / "Chorlton & Wilbraham" newspaper

Does anyone know of a newspaper called the "Chorlton & Wilbraham" or similar?  Published around the 20s & 30s?  My Dad (born Chorlton in 1920) has been talking about it lately!

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Baptism lookup 1766 - Appleby parish - CAVILL
« on: Friday 26 October 07 13:22 BST (UK)  »
Would some kind person be able to look up the parish register entry for this baptism:
04 Mar 1764   Appleby, Lincoln, England
  Father:  GEORGE CAVILL    Mother:  MAGARET     
Extracted christening record  Batch No.:  C026561 

There was a marriage for a George Cavill to a Margaret Marshall 25.1.1756 in Appleby so there may be other baptisms too.

Thank you!

"Illegible words on church headstones could be read once more thanks to a scan technology developed in the US." - could be good news!

Technical Help / Living Room PC
« on: Friday 29 June 07 13:38 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have one of these?  I've seen them advertised lately.  It's a sort of PC/TV combined with a Freeview box.
Are they any good?
Thanks
Diana
