Hi all.

Wow!  What can I say?  With cooperation  like this, who needs mp's? 

Seriouslly, thank you one and all.  I know some people spent a long time looking up names.  It's really appreciated. 

Ken, the photo's are brilliant and will be much enjoyed by the family and sleuths young and old alike!

So I gather we've been going in circles round the right monument, looking at it from a different side and angle.
So this is the other side or another side of the same monument as the ones
on the other sites then?

So when Channel four got their names from Manchester City Council, they only got a small number of them.  There will be a lot more than the 52 on their site!

Am I right in thinking then that this is in a park, if I can be dare to ask yet another question after all that hard work!

Thank you again.  I really enjoyed the research even though I didn't do anything!

Best wishes

Emms

It is not located in a park, just a small grassy area - all four side have dozens of names wrote on them

Debbie

Not had your email yet

Regards
Ken

ps
opps just seen what I wrote on the photo "side side" should have been "this side"

Sorry I had to remove the Google Earth photo as I had breached Googles Copyright using it on Rootschat.

Only just got in to look at photos - amazing stuff Ken. A case of many brains doing plenty of forensic surfing...and coming up with the goods. And one kind man actually 'attending the premises'. Brilliant map...we should open a detective agency!!! Ha Ha.

Wow, that's a pretty comprehensive answer!

The map is brilliant, Ken.  Thank you very much!  I see what you mean about it having been slum cleared!

I think Manchester City Council/ Channel four should know about those hundeds of names!

Thank you again!

I will have another look for William Diggle's record.  I don't think it's been put on so far.

Best wishes

Not sure what you mean "I don't think it's been put on so far"  ???

Are you talking about his name? or have I missed something  :P :P :P
