Hi Maiden Stone.

I did so on every man remembered and I shall also do it on the link you shared. I have a lovely collection of his things and letters he wrote. Also the medals he never got to see.
Thanks, Mark

Hi manmack

My great uncle 12746 pte Richard Chorlton
 8th Kings Own Scottish Borders.
Lived on Sheerwood st Collyhurst and was also killed in Loos 25-9-15. I have a collection of his letters in which he mentions Joe Rice. Looks like they were friends that joined together and fell together.
Regards MARK.

Cheshire / Re: Cranage Hospital (Macclesfield Borough)

Hello all.

I have just looked at the 1939 register trying to find my relatives at the outbreak of ww2
. My grandmother gladys moss (whittaker) was a patient in cranage hall in 1939. The family story goes that my great grandfather remarried after my great grandmothers death and his new wife didn't like my grandmother so sent her off to an institution.
 We always thought this was parkside in Macclesfield.
Anyway apart from a slight lisp i dont think there was anything wrong with gladys. On the 1939 register it says that she was mentaly defective and unfit for work although she became a nurse in the 1940's and married my grandfather.

For anyone who's interested i have a list of patients (all woman) in 1939 and a list of the staff.

Regards Mark
