Durham / Re: The albion pub yarm road darlington
« on: Sunday 11 February 18 10:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Brad,

I was in contact years ago with Lynn C (my Nan knew knew her June Packard, nee Cruickshank) and I have some letters she wrote to me about the family tree(I was about 15-18 years old) and though still actively search a few times a year now, didn’t fully appreciate all the research I received back then! So any help would be great. quote author=Brad K link=topic=177093.msg6430580#msg6430580 date=1518343956]
Laura. I stumbled across this admittedly very old post whilst rummaging around. If we have been in touch before my apologies, but I am Jacob King's great nephew and have a couple of very bad scans of him outside his pub which came from another relative researching the family. Are you in touch with Lynn C a direct descendant who is researching her side of the family?? I have been researching the Kings for many years and can let you see the  family tree on Ancestry if you haven't seen it already. I am seeing my aunt soon (aged 95) who thinks she has an original portrait of him.

The Lighter Side / College project for students remembering WW1
« on: Thursday 01 May 14 11:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone,

I am a teacher at a College in Kent (K College). As part of remembering WW1 100 centenary, departments have been asked to put on events / exhibitions for the students and public which will be on display in our reception at the college and also on display during an Art & Media show the students will be presenting.

As a media/photography department we are making a display of montages which will represent different themes of the war e.g., trenchwarfare, homelife, soldiers portraits, the King's posters etc.

What i am asking is if anyone would be willing to scan and email any of their relative photographs or letters which may have been sent home, photographs of any memorabilia that you may have and would be happy for students to use the images to create photographic montages.

If you are happy to contribute please PM me on here and i will send my work address over.

Hi

It's been a while since i worked on this part of my tree for a while and reigniting this post to see if any new root chatters might be able to give me insight?

I've tried googling war bases near crawley,hampshire but to no avail. Does anyone know how i can go about finding out what regiments/type of bases were situated near by (please note this doesnot mean literally just out of crawley as it could have been a good few miles?!)

Really intriguing as since when i last did the post i've come across more pictures of the village and army/pilot WW2 images.

Thanks again for reading this

The Common Room / Titanic - map of where workers in Southampton lived (old/new streets inc)
« on: Tuesday 10 April 12 22:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm not sure if this has been uploaded already, but i found it really useful when i first saw it a few days ago (as well as interesting). It shows where all workers onboard the titanic, lost and survived, where they lived in Southampton in 2012. It can also tell you old road names.

The daily echo also has links to other relative articles regarding Titanic. Hope it can help some people out there.
