West of Brakel is Appelterre - was Appelferry a misreading of this place name.

I think Appelterre is a good shout, given the paper is a local Lincolnshire one, the wording for it being a Lincolnshire place is a bit odd, a place on the front would make much more sense.

David Nicoll, Geoff-E, PatLac, Raybistre, heywood and hanes tealu.
Hi, thank you all so much for your very kind replies and the work you have all obviously done on this request.
I am indebted to each one of you, once again RootsChatter's have solved a problem for me, indeed I now see it all in a new and much clearer light, so thank you for that.

Each reply puts it all into perspective and it works out logically and matches with what information I had up to finding the newspaper cutting, but I didn't even think of the obvious setting for the presentation.................... Another learning day.

Once again my sincere thanks and best wishes to you all.
Frank...........

Just a bit of trivia.
According to research, General Sir S Lawford was the father of Peter Lawford, the actor. (For those of a certain age  ;) )

i was amused to note his nickname "Swanky Syd" when trying to determine his whereabouts when the MM was presented.
