Hi there

Thank you for that very warm welcome Bob and JDGen

I was in Macclesfield two weeks ago for the first time in many years (staying in a chalet at New Mills in the Peak District) so it really feels as though I am home as my ancestors lived there from about 1690 upto 1910 or thereabouts.

Jean, you seem to be a very regular contributor to the cheshire boards so I am very pleased and happy for such a warm welcome from you

I hope we can work together

Chris in 1066

Welcome back Chris.
I joined RC in 2004 and there were only a handful of us on the Cheshire board then including the lovely and much missed Peter Bennett, whose anniversary is next month.

Drove through New Mills yesterday on the Way to Poynton from Lincolnshire.  I am a Cheshire girl born and bred, but now live in Lincs, but travel back and forth to Cheshire regularly to visit the family.

Hope you feel at home again on the Cheshire board.

love
Su

Chris, welcome, i hope you do'nt get sent to the salt mines, not quite sure about Cheshire being a Yorky, but it cost me 7/6 for a marriage licence, ( i know i could have had a dog one for the same money) 45 years ago, and i am still getting value from it, so maybe Cheshire is'nt too bad.
            Wishing you well in the future, Bodger

Congratulations to both of you.

I expect that in the New Year I will be asking various bits and pieces of advice to do with a Ralph and Sarah HARTLEY - he of the Flat Albion, but not sure if I post here or on a LANCS thread.   One of my cousins has various family photos to scan and share over the coming Chrissy season, photos going back to 1870's and Strethford Road Manchester, but sent to 9 Top Row Northwich - and other "cross" county bits and pieces.

But C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S
