Aw JeannieR I felt the same ...   I was in the middle of arranging to go when I read that his name was being read at the evening Service which was gong to make the day too long for us also  Nevertheless   he was in my thoughts when I went to our local service..  I watched the Festival Of Remembrance on Saturday on BBCand  I have to say I thought it was the best ever. Catherine Jenkins singing  the theme from Band of Brothers moved me to tears. She looked stunning and has a voice  to match . All in All ... A WEEK TO REMEMBER !

Hi again........


I am sure that we WILL get Roberts stone re-arranged at some point......
Annie is just like my mum !! Very determined.........

Why don't we have our own Rootschat meet, when this happens ?

Our own little band of brothers...just there for Robert. 10.30 service...and lunch afterwards....sometime next year ?

I think that now Graham is "with us" things may begin to happen.
I for one, would be happy to make a small donation to righting the stone.....

I will start charging for research I do for mates !!

Regards

Hello Jeanny and All,

of course I would also be happy to make a "small" donation and even a "little more" for righting Robert's stone... and maybe to be among you the Rootschat meeting day... maybe...

Whilst in the churchyard today I was able to lift the headstone a few inches to read the inscription on the headstone.
It reads as follows:

                                                         In
                                                Loving Memory
                                                 Robert William
                                              Beloved Husband of
                                               Elizabeth Neil Stead
                                          Who died on 7th October 1926
                                                 Aged  30 Years

The stone face is in excellent condition and does not appear damaged by the fall. I was anxious to have a peek at the headstone to make sure the church records were correct and I was not going to incur the wrath of you all for raising false hopes.
lovely to meet with Mary also on Sunday.
