The Common Room / Betting shops in Liverpool
« on: Wednesday 20 December 23 16:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
       Does anyone remember the name of a string of betting shops in Liverpool. This would be around the sixties or seventies. They may have been bought out by the big two; William Hill and Ladbrokes, or possibly Joe Coral.
                                 Many Thanks

Hello,
        in 1920, Edith Bentham sailed from England to Canada. I believe her intention was to marry Leonard Watts, in British Columbia. I'd like to discover whether this union ever took place. Any information would be gratefully received.

World War One / Charles Gale
« on: Thursday 02 February 23 10:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
       Charles Gale was killed in action in France/Flanders on 11/10/1915. He was a regular soldier (no 7972) with The Prince of Wales Own West Yorkshire Regiment. There is very little information available regarding his service and subsequent interment. I'm hoping to find more about Charles or any memorials which may bear his name. Hope you can help.
                        Many Thanks
