dog Posted 17 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 17 June , 2009 Hi Scritch Thanks for your note, just had a look at your website and must say it is a great one. I have been collecting War Memorials, War Graves and Monumential Inscriptions for a few years now and a couple of years back decided I had too many not to share. Found Great War Forum and love adding to it now, they do a great job too. Keep up the good work. At least if we all "do our bit", the memories will never fade. All the best Memorialhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trunky Posted 17 July , 2009 Share Posted 17 July , 2009 Hi MH Re Owen William Parry that you have on the Alderley Edge memorial. Everything that I have points to that particular Owen Parry being linked to Bangor, Caernarfonshire including a book written shortly after the War. I note that when you have a doubt you state 'unable to find correct etc' Do you have anything about him and Alderley Edge that I may update my file? I'll send you what I have if you want. (The canadian casualty has links to Cheshire albeit the bit that is now the Wirral) Hywyn It's probably a bit late and I don't know if you monitor replies to this thread, but I have further information on private Parry and his family if that is of use to you.
