    Hi Spike, really enjoyed the photos that you have taken of Wavertee, Everton Huyton and Prescot. You have given many people such pleasure viewing them. I haven't looked at the rest, I will save them for another day.



    Also the St. Anthony's site was very interesting, I think I may have found two ancestors! Must look at my family tree.

    Yes it is a shame that he is in France, but not impossible to get over to see him.

    If you ever have the chance then go. My Grandad is in Italy and we made the trip 2 years ago to see him. So moving and it brings a kind of peace by going.

    I dont think any of my family have ever been to see his grave !, I remember my Nan telling me that neither her or her parents had ever left the country, in fact the furthest I know my Nan went was Chester where she had a caravan.
    It seems even more sad that they just have G.Williams as his full name was George James Williams, my Nan went on to have a son whom she named after her brother ,he was born in 1917 but sadly died in 1918, he is buried with her other brother John Henry who also died in WW1.

    Very sad stories Squiggs.

    As long as you remember him then it does not matter if he has not been visited.

    The CWGC could only add they details they where given, they did and still do a fantastic job. You could try contacting them and see if they will update his details on their site, they wont alter his headstone.

    My Great Grandad is listed as J.Hogan. I tried to get them to add his name as John. they said they need his birth certificate. John was born in Dublin and we are uncertain as to what John is him on the births so we cant get the certificate. I have his marriage cerificate and his army service records, but they still said No. But do ask them as they really are a great at what they do.
