Probably someone threw it out, William, and can't bring themselves to admit it to you!   :o :o :'( :'(  Wouldn't be the first time...

Rereading this thread bought back more memories. I too would love to have the First Editions of William Shakespeare which belonged to my great uncle. They wouldn't be worth the figure quoted earlier for Folios but they were bound in very old leather. Also, the "Devil's Chair" in the corner of the room and also an old copy of Robert Burns from which my gt. aunt would read to me in her lovely Scottish accent.

Happy memories have been stimulated by this thread, haven't they?

My Father-in-laws WW!! medals.  My husband is so sad not to get them.  Step sister loved Dad as much as we did and step-mother warned us that she might be reluctant to part with the medals.  We arranged to go to Cornwall to pick them up but step-sister claimed to have had a burglary and the medals were gone.  !!!!!  My husband is ex Army Regular and the medals meant the world to him.

We know they are sitting in a drawer somewhere, unloved and un cherished and should be in the hands of his descendants.

My great grandfather's birth certificate. How else am I ever going to know more about John Smith, born Sunderland, 1856 - 1861?

Why do I have to have so many Smiths???????????
