Oh dearie me.

Perhaps my personal style of communication in that particular moment gave rise to a misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

Meaning, by way of explanation and enlightenment... that my intuition, or rather my slight suspicion, at the time of writing that post, transpired to have much veracity... namely, the member in question, by an amazing coincidence of timing is a direct member of my own ancestral family, we are already very well known to one another, have met in person despite living thousands of miles apart and are in fairly frequent communication outside of this forum, about, among other matters, our family tree. A tree, which of course, I immediately recognized in the thread, and hence permitted myself to become a trifle animated with excitement.

Regrets if I have somehow inadvertently and unintentionally offended your, or anyone else's, personal sensibilities.

Be well.

Regards

Kev,

Fascinating!

My father started his first job, as an apprentice, at Crockett & Guy in, best I can tell, 1928, and worked there for approx., 21 years....again, best I can tell.

He then spent his entire life in the hardware retail business....moving on to Coleraine and later to Ballymena.

He died in 1987.

Let me know what I might have to do to get a copy of that image you have! AND....that apart, have you a scan copy 'up' on line anywhere? Clearly, unless you know of another source, I would be very happy to have a good copy!

With thanks

David
