Minnie was living with her daughter and my dad in 54 Broster street Salford 3

It said Minnie widow of Samuel Rogers Horse and Cab Proprieter
and my dad was present at her death
That's how I know this certificate is right.

Dea I found something a long time ago I Salford Library
Sam Rogers cab proprietor 1915 to 1923

I had just started looking so I didn't know if this was him I still don't.

I didn't have anyone to confirm or deny.

Dea,
I phoned up the cemetery and ask for info on the information you gave me.
They checked the 1919 and said he wasn,t a cab driver but the 1924 was.
I went to the cemetery. And to my surprise Minnie had a grave it was a paupers
Grave but you could pay and the council would put the name and death on it.
My grandad Sam didn't, have any thing so I left 2 poppy crosses one for each.

I don't know if Sam's is right because I trust your info more than theres
and the info you gave me on Minnie is perfect...

There are that many unmarked graves does it really a few feet apart .
Dea without you giving me the name of the cemetery and names and numbers I would never have found them.This to me is like wining the lottery and I can never thank you enough.and all at Genes.Than You Sam xxxxx

Jackie were all in tears here but the best is I definitely had a twilight zone moment.
My dad who is the son of Minnie and Sam died on the 4th of Dec 1961 so the 4th
always meant a lot ,today is the 4th and where they are buried is called Rainbow Gardens. When we came home I went into the garden and what was threre
a Rainbow.So to me my mam and dad knew I had found them..

Well Dea and all my friend at Genes. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas,
and health and Happiness in the coming Year
Sam xxxxxxxx

Thank you Dea I don't know London so when I comes up a borough I am not
sure which it is.

Dea

Dea Report 7 Jan 2017 09:07

I don't know London either Sam, being a Salford girl, so I am just as confused as you ;-)

Will have a further explore later............ we really need a break-through on the 1901 to help us.
