Just thought I'd add these here,  great war heroes, just like my Dad who I believe was in the 51st Highland Division in WW2, served in France, Belgium, North Africa, Italy and Germany. I wish he would have told me more about his service.    

I'm trying to find any details I can about my maternal Grandfather, wondering if anyone can help. I know he was born in 1876, and died in 1947; the deceased search at St Helens Cemetery seems to be permanently unavailable at the minute.

In the 1881 and 1891 census his father (Robert) was a police constable and at the time of John's marriage he was deceased.Occupation given as policeman.

Walking back the other day i spotted this sign that the Barn conversion is for sale. I was chatting to a guy walking his dog and he said it's going for £350,000. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-58750842.html   He was right but just checking it says *STC.
