Re the Ancestry business. Don't know why I didn't think of this before, I have the Complete Census Discs for Yorkshire for the years 1841--1851--1861--1871--and 1891. The 1881 is available on line courtesy the Latter day Saints .
Now ,within reason, I will look up any info for any one who can supply a few details like approx dates and addresses . Might be useful to some one .

The link referred to by Mike is http://www.familysearch.org
This is a free site. I also repeat my willingness to look up anything on Ancestry.Com, whether a census, birth/marriage/death, parish record , military record(WW1, Boer War), criminalrecord etc etc

Re: Your first crush

To Brian and Doug. Regarding Rita; I am informed that Rita is no longer 'with' Ken Narey, a union which ended some years ago. She lives in a the small village of Laz in Brittany, with another member of the Myers family, Barrie's youngest brother, Christopher!! I learned this information from yet another of the Myers' family, a brother named Malcolm. The world gets smaller still!

Re: Your first crush

Well I'll be dickle dockled!
So Tommy did marry Diane after all - he was a good mate of mine, as were all the Copperwaites, I think Tommy was the youngest but boy, was he hard case or what? Good to have him on my side. I could tell you a couple of good tales about Tommy but I'd like to know if he's still around or not first. I'm in Australia but I do visit!!

As for Margaret, we had dinner with her and her husband, Clive Boston, at the home of Fred & Dorothy Drake, they lived a couple of doors away. Another close neighbour was Paul Sugden who also visited us that evening. He had really aged and I believe he passed away shortly after following a battle with throat cancer.

Re: Your first crush

Trevor, yes Margaret Lindh (nee Coppen) married Clive S Boston in 1975 in Keighley. First marriage musn't have worked out. Cant find a death for Alan Lindh.

Think I knew Paul Sugden, Had a cousin called Judith who was in my class at Ingrow Juniors. She also had an elder brother. I quite liked Judith . She married Richard Tillotson.

Re: Your first crush

Wow. All these names coming to the surface after all these years.
I'd forgotten Clive Boston. He was a friend for a while at kbgs. Lived near the chip shop at the bottom of Victoria Road.

Re: Your first crush

Didn't know (or don't remember!) any of these people myself, but that lass Shirley must have been really smitten to wed a bloke called Shaw. The ultimate in alliterative names or what?!
