The Blundellsands Hotel is no more, I'm afraid - it's been redeveloped as a retirement apartment complex

It was good to see the Hotel  again but as we know, it is a mistake to take sentimental journeys.  Nothing remains the same.

The thought ot trying to drive thru Manchester these days is horrendous and it would be like a foreign country!!

Good afternoon all
First.
Re: Elizabeth's marraige to Frank W Hurst in 1940   Registered Bucklow.  Thought I'd spend an hour in Trafford Library to check Directories for an address around that time.  But no success.
Second,
A question.  Would it be possible to identify the Funeral Director(s) maybe via the Executors?
Maybe the home where she was always used the same ones?  Maybe this has already been tried?

I read through it yesterday and know many of the places mentioned in the thread but what happened to the person who lived in Southport did you follow up that lead I could not find out if you had.
I am in Southport myself if you come up with anything I may help with.
I also knew people with the surname Stead who would be in the seventies by now if still around and lived in the Netherton area of Bootle in the 1980s

They had a son who was a journalist and at one time worked for the Bootle Times where he did his training.

Exciting stuff I hope you return the nametag to the family I will follow the rest of the story.
