My Thanks to Ann & K! You are way ahead of me now lol
You guys are BRILL!
Colin


Edit:
I have just thought of a problem with the Hyslop & Elizabeth listing.
On Frank's Marriage Cert it only says John Smith. Would it not have(deceased) after his name if he was dead?
I must admit everything else seems to fit! Not sure why Violet should be in Chorlton.....another puzzle!

It may or may not say deceased on the marriage cert and both options seem to occur which could depend on the questions asked by the registrar.

It could explain why he was not on the family gravestone if he died before they moved to the area.

Researching:
Anstee/Bucks; Russell/London; Durose; Pease/North Yorks; Kelly/IoM

Thanks K, We dont have a gravestone, Tameside MBC has a family history section on it's website and there is a list of every grave in their cemetaries. Not only that but who is in them, their age, what section of the graveyard they are in, Plot number, method of internment and when they had their "Appointment". their word not mine lol. It is REALLY useful. It does have a few mistakes though.
My Grandma Lilly is listed as Mary, everyone agreed she was called Lilly and the few records we can find confirm this but don't get me started on her!!! hahaa
Thanks again
Colin
