Great news Wiggy  :D  Glad they replied so promptly and hope they do again  :)  It would be so exciting to find out what became of ECG!

Hi Mo,

I've found the Ancestry tree from which you've got 'info' - and it appears there are four offspring of Edna and George Hilditch.   Three boys and a girl.    You'd reckon one of them would know something about Grandfather wouldn't you!!  Here's hoping!

Can only find one and he was going with his mother to Kenya in 1948 - have been looking through the overseas births - can't see anything.

All appear to be still living - and so they should be - have worked out they are my generation!!!    ;D ;D

Hello scavengers,

I've had two very peculiar replies from the son of Edna - just a lot of 'expletive' type characters - but I don't think he was swearing at me - don't know what that was all about - nothing just a row of "*@$^&%($"  type printing??    No name or anything - I wonder if someone has hacked into his email address?     Is this what happens does anyone know?

Also how long will I wait before contacting GRO to see where those certificates are??  It is almost 4 weeks now since I sent the order and the money!!  The money was processed immediately - well, I suppose it would be but . . . ???

Now, Wiggy........... get in touch now.   At least they'll be able to tell you when they were posted, so you can make enquiries at the Post Office.
