Thudders !

That is such great news .... I'm delighted that the Roll of Honour is going home  ( or at least close by !! )

Thanks to you for your keen eye and all your hard work !! ( not bad for a Holt boy !!  )

Seriously ........ thanks !

Having been a bit depressed about the general state and flipping selfishness of society today, I have been reinvigorated and cheered by this thread.  It shows how a few good-hearted, intelligent people can cooperate with a great outcome for the general good and betterment of society.

It also shows how the internet can be great if used with positive intentions.

Well done all.

I feel priviledged to have been a part of this enterprise, even if only for a short time.
I was thinking this morning (a rare event at any time, not just in the mornings) what a wonderful illustration this is of the wonderful tool the internet can be when used properly. Normally it is only the bad stuff that gets into the news.
I am also a member of Reading Forum and although we are the world's worst mickey takers out of each other, when someone has a problem or a question and we all pull together to sort it out, the results can be amazing.
Mind you, we do get the odd thorn in the flesh as well, but they get sorted out.
I think that I am hooked on Rootschat as well now!

signed Old square eyes!

I couldn't agree with you more if i tried Old square eyes aka midnight runner and others, what a worthwhile cause we are all in engaged in

I never managed to find Phlip & Thomas Steer in any census.

The Reverend Thomas Steer & family (including 10 year old Philip) are in Swanage in 1901, 
 RG13/ 1985/Folio 7/ Page 4.
They are indexed as 'Steck' on ancestry.

Thanks Jennifer - not relevant to the memorial but it was bugging me that I couldn't find it

Well done - and I'm looking forward to seeing it returned to a more suitable residence than the old reclamation yard... Not far away so maybe see a few of you there..

When we get the memorial back on display in a suitable venue could I suggest we have a get together to celebrate and view. I got drawn into this forum on the back of this thread and have had several other interesting dialogues on other threads so thank you to all of you.

regards
