I will take a look.
But funnily enough I was trolling through the 1881 census and T B Roland is Thomas Bland Roland and his occupation is Shipbuilder JP & TC. Now could this TC tie in with the medal in my other post on this section.
Plus...... I was in Frankby last week looking round graves on the Bennison side of my family tree when my aunt told me a story that she had been told, about Frankby Hall or Manor (she wasn't sure which)had been taken down stone by stone and shipped to America. I thought this tied in with the Bennisons because all bar one of this family emigrated to America & Canada.

Chances are they must have all known one another or at least known of each other........   oooooooooooooooo I wish I could time travel

Thanks Kev

My goodness he's a Sir too.  They say money breeds money. Unfortunately these people are not direct descendants Major Todds wife's, father is my GGUncle (George Wincester Robins).

Major Todds grandmother's father is a William Pilkington (according to the census) a ......... glass manufacturer I wonder if its the Pilkington. Altho my mum says not, she believes another of GG Uncle Georges daughter Ethel Gabrielle Robins marries a William Lee Pilkington at Chester Cathedral in 1935

and

another of my GG Uncles daughters (Olive Gertrude) married Admiral Sir Charles Madden there was a Miss Roseann Madden as a bridesmaid to Major Todds daughters wedding wonder if this is their daughter.

Thanks Kev for opening an enormous door for me if you don't see any posts from me for a while I'n probably deep inside times online

My friend and I both collect medals etc to Our surnames, Mine duggan, and my friends: TODD.

Late last year he purchased a set of Majors shoulder Pips and a news papers article in a small case perporting to be those of Major TODD.

I did the research that was available, ie CWGC, and the war diary at the National archives etc....and left a link here as I found a thread on him.

So I was wondering if you have any original documents or photographs of his, i can get copied for My friends archives

I can give you my email address later if there is good news!.
