I have recently donated a lot of information about Marshalls Mill in Grimsby to the museum service at the Fishing Heritage Centre. My father worked at Marshalls ( later Spillers ) from 1914 until 1964 so 50 years in the same job ! He started as a boy ( with a short break in the army ) and worked his way up to be the transport manager, ending his career at the Hull branch when Spillers in Grimsby closed.
You could contact Louise Bowen at the FHC.
There is a very large monument to one of the Marshall family in Scartho Road cemetery.

I have found a lady on the 1939 register with W.A.T.S. after her name. She was living in Huyton, near Liverpool. Please can anyone tell me if there are records for W.A.T.S in that area ? Thankyou

Thankyou very much for your reply Valda. I've been to Hull today and discovered that I got the cemetery wrong ! He was buried at another cemetery and I have to contact the place in Beverley instead. it's a nuisance. I think it would have been better to have the whole of the archives in Hull !  Thanks again.  Janet

Dear Scouse boy, Thankyou very much for your reply. I am trying to help a gentleman in New Zealand to find his half sister Joan Pennington who was born 13th of February 1925 in Madras, India. ( her father was working there at the time ) The family came from Stoke on Trent. The gentleman in New Zealand is hoping to come over to England next year and that is why I am trying to find her or her family in advance. Thanks again ancestry 9

Many thanks for that Ken. His son ( who never knew him ) is going to be very disappointed though !
