Stirlingshire / Re: Drummond and Stewart in St. Ninians Churchyard

Hiya,Yes it is locked but I can get the key from Lynn at the Cemetery Records Office.Big restoration project going on to the Tower.Scaffolding everywhere but it is a worthy cause;Great history surrounding the place...apparently the Jacobites used it to store explosives during the uprising of the 1700's...and,er,blew it up!!It's been patched up since then but,like I said,it's being worked on again.The area used to be packed with tiny one storey houses and winding cobbled street until at least the 1950's....according to my good friend Joan who attended school at St Modans RC not far from there.
Anyway,I'll head down to St.Ninians (or St.Ringans as it was known in the distant past) and seek out your relatives for you...Any excuse to trawl around a super wee churchyard...ancient headstones and bats in the belfry!You would love it!
Speak to you soon,Aw Ra Best,J

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Boal Family.Leeds,Harrogate..1930's
« on: Tuesday 22 August 06 19:22 BST (UK)  »
A few years back I purchased a box of odds at the local auction room.At the bottom of the box there were some negatives...I hung on to them in the home that I could reunite them with a member of the Boal family.

I stuck them on eBay as 'free to the rightful owner'...there were many views but no takers,sadly.It seems such a shame that these should just be stuck in a box when they could be doing what they were meant for.Having lost 5 members of my family in only 3 years,my relatively few photos and images are so precious to me....I would dearly love to pass these on to any member of the Boal family.

The images are in 2 photographers envelopes;One from Pearson & Denham in Leeds and the other from Thomas Cornall in Harrogate and are dated 25/08/1930...almost 76 years ago to the day!

Some of the negs I have copied and inverted are shown below...Is this your dad or papa??...Is the baby you??
