What a difference a day makes! I woke up this morning, checked my rootschat and look what there is. Loads to check out now. Good idea to check the Historical Society,-I will also seek out the local library resources. I have sent a PM to Cando.

The Tomato patch death makes sad reading-no wonder William gave up his land, don't think Robert, his brother applied for any, he went into the building business and ran the local undertakers too.

Thanks everyone

Tom

Hi,  Ivy Maude Hirth and Robert Harvey Martindale were my grandparents, if I can be off assistance to you please advise, their daughter Marjorie is now 96, still has all her faculties and would be able to answer any questions that you may ask.

Hi Kate,
I am thinking it looks like in November TOM has tried to use a system to contact you  which, as yet you are not able to access.  Namely the PM (or PERSONAL MESSAGE ) system.

You, as a newcomer  need to post 3 messages on the open board before the PM system opens for you to send and receive messages off the board.

You are up to two now, so just reply now (anything you like is fine!!) and I think then the two of you will be able to have a good exchange.

Sue

Thanks Sue,

Hopefully I will be able to fill in some of the spaces you need, if I can't I am sure my aunt can.
Look forward to the reply.
