I hope that you will all be voting today, if, of course, there is a local election in your area.

I remember when I first became eligible to vote and there was a local village council election being held.  My father asked me if I was going to attend, and I said "no, I don't understand what it is all about."  His response was - you WILL vote - women died so that you could have that opportunity.  Since then I have voted whenever possible.  We even came home early from holiday so that we could vote on Brexit.

Added:  He also taught me "if you don't vote, then you can't complain!"   

What is now Oulton Park Racetrack in Cheshire was a PoW camp - Italians and German, who were sent out to work on the farms. 

Thank you so much for that - I have now down-loaded the full version.   

I do have the 1911 entry for David, Annie plus two children.  Eva is another mystery    but very, very interesting. 

Again, thank you for your help.

There are also Banns for this couple in 1841 - St Peter, Derby - image on Ancestry.
