Thanks Bill.

I've made  a fair bit of progress since I posted this request, though I've come to the conclusion that the family are on the missing or unreadable pages of the 1851 census.

I also noticed that, sadly, Elizabeth (first wife) died shortly after the birth of baby Peter and that Peter was baptised on the same day and at the same church that his mother was buried.

Not really the 'lighter side' but the death of broadcaster Gordon Honeycombe has been announced.
It was his TV programme along with Don Steel, in the late 1970's that first started me on my long journey into tracking down my family. It has and remains a revealing fascination.

 Thank you Gordon.

Me too. My mum and I were fascinated by that series.

RIP Gordon

Does anyone have any experience of getting changes made to Commonwealth War Graves records and memorials?

The CWGC website says they will consider amendments if documentary evidence is supplied, but what level of evidence is needed to prove an error?

I have found someone who I believe is recorded under the wrong surname (LUCK instead of TUCK). I have copies of articles and an obituary from a local church magazine, which show his army service number, regiment and date of death.  Do you think they would be considered official enough?

Thanks James. That is the one I remember.

I haven't found any siblings or parents either. They are likely to be in the Eccleston or Douglas Chapel Registers but I'm not sure those still exist prior to mid 1700s.

Are you part of Noah's clan?

I'm still looking at Lancashire Stringfellows and trying to fit them all together. The vast majority of the ones living around Chorley, Blackburn, Salford in the 19th century appear to lead back to Wrightington, many of them to Noah and Margaret.

But at the moment I'm looking at some Liverpool Stringfellows who may be a completely different set.

Yes I like a mystery too.

I think this one may take a while to solve.
