The Lighter Side / Re: Do You Remember
« on: Wednesday 22 December 21 15:11 GMT (UK) »
I remember the milk crates were left in the school yard or in the entrance and two lads from the nearest class were given the job of carrying a crate to each classroom.Sometimes there was a couple of bottles of orange juice among the milk and a fight over who should have it.At home the coal wagon tipped coal in the street and we wheelbarrowed it to the shed to tip it out.Them that lived in the old rows could shovel the coal straight into their shed from the road through a small wood door in the wall.Every morning the the ashes had to be cleaned out the grate,newspapers crumpled up with few sticks on top before the coal was put on.If you wanted a bath,the damper had to be pulled down at the back of the fire to heat the water.So no just turning the heating on or popping in the shower anytime like now.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Locating a grave or details of cremation

hi,local newspapers usually have death notices in them.If your local library has them on microfiche you could search around the death date.The notice would usually state where a person was to be buried or cremated.

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: William Pattison 1841
« on: Tuesday 30 April 19 13:34 BST (UK) »
hi Trish,i have never found them anywhere in the 41,i think it might be mistranscribed as some other name or unreadable.I don't know if Henry is a son or not.I'm only researching William as part of the family of John Pattison his father.Phoebe married a Registrar of Births and Deaths and i thought she may be Williams niece as he had a sister called Jane but as you say she may be niece of his wife.Thank you for looking.
