Thanks again Son.

Brilliant. 

Can you e-mail them to me, pretty please, as Rootschat has a file
restriction and the original image would be great. 

Mum

Well I am truly overwhelmed Jenny and Denise by your photographs
and additional information you have both sent me by e-mail today.

Thank you for sharing so quickly.

I will en-deavour to assist you both in any way I can, which may

Hi Willsy. 

Thank you so much for the detailed information on your relative
(not Albert) .

Also all of you who are helping me with the background information
to these men who served for the County is gratefully received.

Thanks again.

Sandy

Thanks
My Albert married Rose Warren, all her family are originally from Northampton, lots from Blisworth, although Rose was born in Leicester. Have quite a history of boatman from the area but don't know it well. If any thing can be found re my Herbert William Bryant that would be great, still looking for the military photo rather then the newspaper one I have!

Hi Willsy.

I have asked another member elsewhere if they can help.

Obviously it depends when he replies, with a Yes or No.
