For the benefit of those still hanging on in there but feeling rather confused with the information overload, here's a timeline, as Marlene suggested.  Rochdale Cemetery was opened in 1855.  My gt-gt-grandfathers were Thomas Hurst and George Adamson.  Letters after names refer to relationship to patriarch.

YEAH
Not only is the posting well set out, but an incredibly useful "template' for others posting messages to "make it clear"!
Good one Gill  - hope Tony can work on it!
Judging by the size of the plots those Rochdalians are either VERY tall or there was room for a large family!
Cheers
Marlene

[Gillg]

Tall women run in our family, as they say (though not so fast these days, I'm afraid)   

Gill

[Dale]

Bet Tony's pleased he's not dealing with a fast woman!
Cheers

Kia ora Marlene,
I had enough problems with fat Friars, never mind fast women, until yesterday when all but one of my research problems were solved after 4 years in a single stroke anyone know how to do somersaults on this site  I've been trying to track over 150 Friars from 1850 - 1900's with about 30 of them a priority. From 80 pages of documentation i received yesterday i've confirmed all my research so far and added in lots of new additional dates and places. Enough to keep me occupied for the next few weeks. Will e-mail you and Gill with the details and keep an eye on the "Dallas" plot at Rochdale.

It's rather warm tonight, might just have some strawberries and ice cream for supper, with a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc  - the only good thing to have come out of NZ since Martin Johnson returned home after playing for NZ under 21's, rejoined the English team as Captain, and well we know the rest of the story 

And Gill, yes we will stop squabbling on your topic - eventually

Now where did i put the ice cream scoop

Best wishes
Tony

Stop rubbing in all your successes! I have no Friars fat or otherwise on my shoulder at present. Guess they didn't have illegitimate babies with cousins? Not my direct line fortunately I'd never get Aunt Snob to swallow that!

The mountain range out my window is covered with the white stuff and I'm preparing my supplies for Saturday night when we begin the Tri Nations series against South Africa AND sail for the America's Cup. T'will be a L...O....N......G night! No need to chill the Vino or have ice for the Bacardi, lime & lemonade.
Carry on with your fat friars-  did any of them become Wilkinson's  wringing their hands with nerves??
Ciao for now - sorry Gill!
Marlene

[Gillg]

Tony

Well done with your fat friars research.  Just stick with us Fair(e)ys, we bring good fortune, whichever shoulder we sit on.     80 pages of documents - you certainly deserve success, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your findings.

and Marlene

Good luck with your kicking Kiwis.    I'm sure you'll keep us updated with their progress. 

All this talk of Bacardis and Sauvignon Blanc has made me rather thirsty.  I'm not fussy, any smooth red wine will do for me, though a Barolo would be good...

Chin, chin!

Hi Gill
Just sent you an e-mail, better top up your glass before reading  And now i'm off home after an exhausting day to find a glass of my own.

cheers
