Hello everyone.
I'm not exactly sure where to post this or what site I should be using.

What I'm trying to find out is where I can get the full details of a photo I have from when my mum was in Abergele in hospital. It was then known as Abergele asylum. 
I'm not exactly  the age my mum was there  only for what my mum told me. Maybe she was told by her mum I'm not sure on.
My mum told me that she was in Abergele for 5 year's.  Most of the time she was on her back.and had a plaster cast from her waste  down. Up to half way down her leg. 
Apparently it was due to a spine injury. Being thrown from a wheel Barrow. 

The photo I have now I found last year.  If I had found it before my mum passed away she would have been able to tell me what I'm trying to find out. 

Some where in the photo my mum is in one of the beds.  I'm not sure where.
It could be possible she's one of the girls nearest to the camera.  There's one lying down and has a plaster cast on her right leg.  Which is where my mum's was.

What I'm trying to do is find a clear copy of it so I can see if the girl is my mum and hopefully my auntie can tell me.
She as seen the photo and apparently her mum had the same one.

From what I can understand. My mum had light colour hair when she was younger.

So if there's anything anyone can help me with I really would appreciate it.

Thank you again for your time and help.

Ps
 I got the photo off pintrest. And put Abergele. I didn't even know about the photo had any connections with my mum.
I just wanted to see what the hospital was like.
Thank you again for your help and time.

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me how long it takes to  receive  army record's from when you apply for them?

I applied for my grandads army record's on the 21st of November. I sent  everything off to the army record's department in Scotland.

I've been trying to get answers from them.to see when I will recieve them. But I'm not getting any replys back.
My hubby says he hopes it's not one of these places where you get conned like a fake place.

I told him I have the address on the letter and the form where I was told to send everything to.

If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you again for your time

Ps
I received a email from the army record's department in Scotland afew months ago just before I started to save up for my grandads army record's. 

By the sounds of it. They might have my grandads army record's. 
What I don't understand is this. If they have his name and date of birth. Why is it taking long.?

I have  attached a copy of the email I received. Hopefully someone can help?

Thank you again.

Hi everyone.
I'm slightly confused about something.  Can anyone please explain something to me. I might sound a bit daft.
But I just can't seem to get round this.
As everyone knows I've been doing my family background for a while now. And with a lot of help I've found out alot about my family which I had no idea about.  When I got my grandparents marriage certificate.  It had my grandfathers   dad's name on. Which began to confuse me the reason for that was because  my grandads birth name is Alfred evan Jones.  His mum's name is Frances Jones.  Which would be obvious.  Even though  she wasn't married before or after my grandad was born  on my grandparents marriage certificate it says the name of my grandads birth father.  Which is john jones.  I know there's a john jones in my great gran Frances Jones family  but it was further on before she was born.  John jones  the one I know about  is the son of James Jones who married a lady called mary Taylor in 1927. They had 3 son's  George. John and Peter.

This is where I'm  slightly confused. 
I have been told that  my grandads father was found in the bathroom. I assume he passed away.  He was living with my great gran Frances Jones.  But  she wasn't married to him.  So how can it be possible 

That my great gran Frances Jones has the same surname Jones as John jones  if they wasn't married?   

And also  acording to what I've been reading.  John jones  is my maternal great grandfather. And my great gran Frances Jones is my maternal great granmother. 

I have been told that john jones is my great grandad.

I don't even know what the difference is between  maternal and paternal.  I was told what it was but I just really can't  remember. 


If there's anyone who can help me with these I would really appreciate it.
Thank you all again for your time and help.

Hi everyone.
As you can see.  I am in need of some help with something completely different.
I have been trying for the last few weeks to find out something  which neither I knew about or my husband.
And hopefully  someone  could please help me.  I have  no where else to ask.  So I thought why not ask the ones who have kindly helped me with my family background.
What I'm trying to find out is if possible.  Is when  my late mother in law passed away and when  was her funeral. 
My husband and I  only found out about  this 2 year's after  she passed away. All we know is she was put into a home not long after her late husband  passed away on the 12th of August 1999.   

If there's anyone who can help me with this  I would be very grateful.

My mother in law  was born  irene miriam ditchfield. 28th of September 1920. She married  Mr Samuel lucas February 1940. All we have found out is she is buried in southern cemetery Manchester. With her husband.  Along with some of the other members of the family. But different graves. There is a Elizabeth ditchfield.  She is my husbands gran mother.  And there is a linda  and Darren lucas  there my husbands sister and adopted brother.  Somewhere in the cemetery  is buried a baby  girl called aidrian. She died due to a spine problem. She had  spinabifida.  We don't know where she is buried. It's possible  she could be with  my husbands  gran /great gran. 

Anyway I hope someone can help me with this I'm only asking for help to help my husband.  He doesn't know how to go about this kind of thing.

I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you again for your help and time
