daggers Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Local government may think otherwise but the county of Lancashire still extends from the district of Furness to the north bank of the Mersey. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Riley Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Oh, you rebels! Warrington never left the County Palatine of Lancaster in spirit. The loyal toast remains 'The Queen, Duke of Lancaster'. Alf, I will take on Ashton in Makerfield for you, Alf, [Richard John Owens] if there is no better offer but it might have to wait a week or so. Trips in to Warrington are less frequent and the cemetery is a bit of a nightmare but i could consider Thomas Corrin if you have no other offers. Sorry, if I sound less than enthusiastic but I am having a bit of trouble with my feet at the moment and am also very busy working with a team of students digitising our Museum archive.

CROONAERT Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Burnley Cemetery –John Thomas STOTTARD I don't think that John Thomas Stuttard (with a 'u', not an 'o') has a headstone, unfortunately. I've got photographs of every single military grave (CWGC or private spanning from the 1860's to 1979 - some 200 or so more than mentioned on the CWGC website) in Burnley cemetery and he doesn't appear in my files. He is, however, listed on the screen wall at the cemetery entrance. Would that do instead? (can also supply a photo of the man himself if required) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 22 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2013 Ian, It would be great if you could do Ashton in Makerfield. There is no hurry. I will pencil you in for Thomas John Corrin at Warrington, but if any other member wants to offer, that would be great. Regards, Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 22 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2013 Dave, I would appreciate a photo of Thomas Stottard's name on the screen all, and also a picture of him as well. There are a lot of men who have no gravestone, even though the location of their grave may be known. You are right about the spelling of his surname, it is Stuttard. It's a case of not being able to read my own writing! Regards, Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill24chev Posted 22 July , 2013 Share Posted 22 July , 2013 I don't have a decent camera at the moment but if an image from a mobile phone is acceptable I may be able to get round to William Morris in Farnworth cemetery in a week or two. And, yes most of the graves are still in Lancashire, what was Gt. Manchester was in effect the old Anglo Saxon admin. area of the Salford Hundreds (with a little bit of Cheshire). Before the introduction of the "county" of Gt. Manchester in the 1970's I remember organisations such as what is now known as Gt. Man. Transport were for a short time given the title SELNEC (South East LANCASHIRE & North East Cheshire) If I die intestate with no claims to my estate it will go to the Duke & Duchy of Lancaster not HM the Queen .

bill24chev Posted 22 July , 2013 Share Posted 22 July , 2013 Oh, you rebels! Oh, you rebels! There was a campaign a few years ago of covertly removing the boundary sign posts between Lancashire and the Met. Boroughs (Bolton, Bury etc.) that are adjacent to the admin. area that is now known as Lancashire. We are still proud to be Lanastrians from the county where "Cotton was King" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf mcm Posted 26 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 26 July , 2013 Hello Berenice, Many thanks for the photos. The family gravestone is interesting, giving details of John's sisters. The date on this stone should be 6th November. Regards, Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BereniceUK Posted 31 July , 2013 Share Posted 31 July , 2013 I hope this is the one you want, Alf, he's the only Carter that the CWGC lists for Blackburn Cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 31 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 31 July , 2013 Thanks Berenice, That's him! I had him wrongly named as Thomas William Carter, but on his death certificate he is William Thomas Carter. Many thanks for the excellent photo.
