Lancashire / Linoleum Factory Openshaw Manchester
« on: Wednesday 20 October 21 12:59 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help please?
My great grandfather William Wilson b 1854 in Dysart Fife worked as a floorcloth block printer in Kirkcaldy up until around 1883. He then appears on the 1891 census at 42 Neden street Openshaw as an oilcloth printer.
Does anyone know of a lino factory in or near Openshaw back in 1880s/1890s?

Thank you Medpat for your reply. That is helpful.
I guess if he could walk 5 miles he wasn't badly injured.
He did however remain B2 until the war end.

Armed Forces / Medical record
« on: Thursday 05 November 20 11:25 GMT (UK) »
Can anybody help please?
My father served with The Royal Signals Regiment during the 2nd world war, stationed in North Africa.
His medical record shows, in 1940, his category is A1.
By 1942 his medical category is B2.
The term A1 is probably self explanatory but what does B2 mean?
Any help would be appreciated.

A very big thank you for all your help. I have been puzzled by this for some time as it is not something I have come across before. I will now have a look at the Scotlands People site.
Once again many thanks to you both.

Fife / Heggie's wynd Kirkcaldy
« on: Thursday 09 July 20 11:01 BST (UK) »
Can anybody help please?
My great great grandfather Alexander Muir b1821, is shown on the 1871 census as living at Heggie's wynd Page's land Kirkcaldy. I have found Heggie's wynd on a street map of Kirkcaldy but can not find any reference to Page's land.
Any help in finding where Page's land is or was would be appreciated.

We are aware most of the places where the family lived no longer exist. They were probably of poor quality even then and it was a long time ago. I am travelling from North Wales and my cousin is travelling from New Zealand and it will just be satisfying to walk the streets they walked and to find our roots.
