...and on top of it all you bring out a painting by Fortunino Matania....
You can bet every detail on that painting is right, he was like that.
Haven't added a comment till now, I have nothing to contribute, but I would like to see the headstone in it's rightful possition and a tele crew there to cover the event and tell a little about Roots and the quest.
As for the tag, a military museum or a local museum, with print outs of the quest for reference.
Bless you all.

Hi all

As we have to be PC here with regards to ownership etc of the plot that Robert was laid to rest in...... that would more than likely be the benficiary to Elizabeth Hurst's will - which ever one got the balance of the estate.....  I have not got a copy but I know one of you guys out there have.... perhaps it's an avenue we have not already been down.  ( i recall a firm of solicitors and trying to find out re the main benficiary).  This is assuming of course that as Elizabeth's father (Mr Grant) registered the death they also funded the burial too.

Does the church not have any records as to whom purchased the plot and for how long 50, 100 years etc.  Is this a query we could ask Graham if any clues are around anywhere?

Sorry to be a party pooper but I think its something that will need clearing up before we go marching in there with a rugby team, block and tackle.

if she can get the photo shop to do it for her as she is not computer literate.

Perhaps she has just done a crash course Edna  ;D

If it's "WinZipped" this might help ~ choose the "try first" option

http://www.rootschat.com/links/025w/  basically you need to download the the program to your computer, so you can un-zip it

Wendi
First I looked up help and followed instructions opened my documents where file was and then clicked on properties and then unblock file as this file was blocked by windows

Then I get message Problem with shortcut "The drive or network connectionsthat the shortcut to 100_3354.ink refers to is unavailable make sure the disk is properly inserted or the network resourse is available then try again.

I Then downloaded the winzip as you suggested and unzipped the file but still getting this notice.

I would love to see the photos myself as well as displaying them here.
