Hi Mike Are you off to the records office tomorrow?, would quite like a look up with a couple of deaths but can wait if you have alot to do.

BEV/MIKE Shall we all meet up again this year when the weather improves??? And thank you for all your help, never would have got this far without you Elaine

Hi Elaine Happy New Year. Yes im up for meeting when its better weather and light nights. I know i keep telling Mike this thread wouldn't have got this far without his help. I Know i started the thread but i come to look upon it as all our thread and would miss it if it wasn't here even though i cant be of much help i still look on it everybday.( If my daughter read this she would say your getting sad in your old age lol) Best wishes Bev

Hi Bev I do exactly the same! That's sorted, Leicester thread meet whenever Elaine

when and where id this meet in leicester ? have you done a thread for it elaine if so where have you posted it? sarah

hello Sarah We all met by chance at a talk about boatmen but it was all a bit of a mess, I met Mike but we didn't know we had to book the talk so we went to the pub as there wern't any spare places, an extra night was put on for the talk where I met Bev, so we haven't actually had a proper meet but I thought it wauld be nice so we can arrange one when the weather perks up, where abouts do you live? Elaine
