Rochdale Cemetery request

[Dale]

Moi Aussi!
I was fortunate enough to spend time in Nepal and left with a suitcase full of neatly written Sherpa cards  Usual plea went somthing like this:

"Mrs Marlene, please give this to my friend Burra Sahib, when you go home to remind him of his friend......"

The Nepali were disppointed that I wasn't Ed's cuzzy but that the fact that I was a Kiwi was enough to ensure invitations to many a village party and the usual Delhi belly which followed!

Ed kindly acknowledged the parcel of crumpled, torn at the edges, cards he received when I returned to Aotearoa! Obviously many had been through many a mountain stream before I received them!

The Sherpas, Indians, Maori and the Mountaineering buudies all contributed to his farewell yesterday, ably led by his son, daughter & grandchildren who each contributed wonderful insights into the man.

We Kiwis have a lost a great man, and the world is poorer for it.

All RootChatters have a mountain to climb, Sir Edmund Hillary should be an inspiration to us all.

I do remember being at school then and feeling more excited about the conquest of Everest than the coronation.  Later Col. John Hunt came to talk to us about the expedition.  We'd much rather have had Sir Ed.

"Gilliaaaan, are you up yet?" is the one I remember most.  Never could leap out of bed in the mornings. (I always answered "Yes", whether I was up or not )

Cheers,

Gill

Kia ora Tony & Gilliaaan!
We had a weekly magazine type newspaper which had a coloured double page pullout in the middle called the Auckland Weekly.

On my walls I had Betty W, Margaret Rose (my kind of gal), Phil the Greek and Ed!

I always aspired to have as many medals as Betty on my chest, lead the the life of Margaret Rose, marry a man in uniform like Phil, and climb as many mountains as Ed!

WELL I have achieved some...............

Hi Gill

Yes, I was finally cottoning on!  I've not been at this all that long and one of the people I've  been in con tact with a bit, is a Gillian, searching at this end of the country as well.

Sorry about that!  I looked up her Rootschat name, and it does have some similarities.  I wondered how the number of posts kept varying!

Sorry again.

Kia Ora Emms
We're a very chatty lot and wander off topic so YOU don't have to apologise but I will!
Cheers

who-ever can look at rochdale cemetery Request can you find a Henry Taylor buried 1914?  Now with regards to other posts on this post on my Taylor family tree I have an Emma Butterworth TAYLOR now for long time my Family thought this child's Father was Alfred Butterworth but now believe it to be a Henry Taylor's child with the mother being a Alice Butterworth the child was illegitimate and only live for about four months died 1897. Is she buried in this cemetery .
Also I might know why you have a John Taylor buried in with you family but still looking into that at the moment.
