Hi All the Events for 2012 i am still waiting for the dates to be confirmed and will put them on this topic as soon as i get them The Family history is in Feb so you have not missed it. Sacred Heart records i think are with the Family History. there will be 10 events this year. The Miners Event is in March and will be about the life and times of the Miners, The 1878 Wood Pit Explostion Miners who got the V.C., Children down the mines, plus much more

They may have a transcript but most of Sacred Heart records got sent to Preston Record Office not long ago all except a sketchy couple of years which are down in the basement archives at the Gamble

[busybee]

Thanks Ratty and Kneeshin, sorry about the confusion but brain cells are not working this week.

[Kneeshin]

May be i should have said Sacred Heart has not been translated from latin to english as all R.C. records they are in latin but they do have the full records
