... removing plant-growth from graves needs to be done carefully to avoid damage to the graves themselves. I have some experience of this, having been the custodian of a churchyard for 6 years
You will be perfect for the job then Steven!
Mongibello, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a positive result from the cemetery.
Deb, I know you've mentioned it before, and I know you're right - we need to update our findings and the summary ... I've been kindof updating the timeline which I have on my desktop, but it is really concise and in short note form and doesn't say what we still need to find. I also still have many census findings to add to it.
I DO have a list of questions/lookups for Mongibello to do at Westminster Archives. I was going to email the list to him, but maybe I will post it on here as it may clarify what we still need to find.

It seems like we are all fairly interested in finding some living cousins for Steven. (and I'm on a mission to find a photo of Nathaniel )
I believe Mongibello has already traced some descendants, so we want to try to avoid duplication. We know Steven has descendants of Henry. Maybe we should get a bit organised here.
I think we can go far enough so as to not give names of anyone possibly living, but also to make it clear who has been found. Possibly saying Female born 1924 Manchester, Male born 1928 Manchester - that kind of thing ...
So ...
Steven, can you tell us who you have and where any gaps are on Henry's line?
Mongibello, can you tell us which of Nathaniel's children's descendants you've traced and where any gaps are? And is there anything you're unsure about or can't find or maybe need a second opinion on?
Then we can make a tree/report, get organised and try to fill in the gaps.
