World War Two / Re: Grandads naval history research

Thanks for that RRTB. I hadn't heard about it but will definitely apply. Although grandad was mostly on escort duties aboard HMS Chiddingfold, i do know that he was part of operation Archery. I'm not sure if he actually fulfils the criteria for the medal but i will get in touch with my aunt, who is next of kin, and apply.

Cheers, Paul

Hi Cinirel

sorry, not been on here for a while. Yes i have this line of my tree traced back many generations. If you let me know where we are related i will look into it.

As a follow up to the original post i was able to order grandad's service history.

Cheers, Paul

Hello Jen

Here is a photo i scanned a while back. I'll let you have the rest as soon i can dig it out, but won't have time over the weekend so will probably be in the week sometime.

Cheers, Paul

hello Jenny

i really should have followed up on this post earlier (can't believe it is well over a year ago). So just to bring you up to date:

a member sent me a private message after these conversations and supplied me with an address of Scattergoods living in the correct area and who seemed to be almost certainly related. I took a punt and wrote to them.
I received a lovely letter back and it turned out that the family was indeed descended from Ezekial. They kindly supplied some photos and other information about the family. Unfortunately i haven't been in contact for a while, so your post has kindly prompted me to do so.

So, do you know the family, Jenny?

Kind Regards, Paul

brilliant i think we have "leader" , "division" , "unfeigned" and "earnestly"
they all seem so obvious now. great to have all your help, thanks

just one more thing though: the word that is two lines up from "leader" i thought it said "member" but looking more closely it looks like "memember" ?!? any thoughts?

Hello again

here is the follow-up letter to the one i posted yesterday. There are four words on this one that i have highlighted and am struggling with. Again the subject matter is my 3xgt-grandfather, Thos. Shepherd, falling out with the Methodists

Cheers, Paul

many thanks for all your efforts. i don't think i'll get a definitive on the name, all the ones put forward look right  :-\   
but i think that last line is "strengthening the hands of the enemies" as mentioned

cheers, Paul
