 :) Thanks John, Marienne, Boo.

Yes, thanks Boo. Very interesting.

Boo/Marienne, can I double-check with you the record you kindly sent twelve hours ago. There's no 'plot number' for Mary, just area AD, is that right?:

Mary CHARLETON d 231 Vauxhall Rd age 65 int 26/3/1914 in public AD.

I'm going to Ford Cemetery tomorrow to say hi.

Best wishes
Nick

Thanks Marienne!

Just one thing if I may – I've visited Ford AS165 before, the McKenna grave. Francis Charleton was the brother of Margaret McKenna (née Charleton), but he isn't named on the headstone (photo attached). Is that unusual?
Also (sorry, that's two things!), are the public graves where William and Mary are unmarked?

Thanks so much Tickettyboo, that's a big help.
I'll go and visit Arthur Copley in Anfield Cemetery and contact Springfield Crematorium to see if they have a record of Catherine being cremated there.
I'll stand by for news of the Charltons from Marienne.

Hi, I'm looking for Ford Cemetery graves; I'd be very grateful for plot ID please:
- William Charlton buried 16 Feb 1900 aged 57 plot "2755" in the handwritten register; his wife Mary Charlton, and son Francis b. 1876.
- Arthur A. Copley d. 1967, and second wife Catherine Copley (also previous married, surname Duckworth) d. Q2 1977.
Forgive the rather flakey details!

Ah, it may well be; those dates certainly fit. I'll try to find out more. Thanks Gibel.

Hello all, I've just signed up to the page - congratulations on great work.
I've found out my granddad and his wife, who lived on York Way, Garston, worked at Rootes in WW2. He was a 'Store Keeper, Aircraft', according to the 1939 Register. Anyway, in about 1942 my aunt tells me he was transferred to the plant in Stoke. I can't seem to find any reference to a Rootes factory in Stoke - can you help?
