 I will do Moss tomorrow evening, although there isnt much to put up there at the moment, I have to drive a friend to London tomorrow morning, so im afraid Leonard will have to wait another day. Hope this helps a little now its tidied up. Geez though it was hard not to go wandering off down various family lines, especially Gabrielson. Twas liking opening a pack of choccy biccies and only allowing yourself 2 from the whole pack, almost torture it was.

There are still quite a few avenues of research open, maybe cousins, second cousins etc. I will have another dig tomorrow when I get back. Please think of me sat on my hands all day whilst you guys run around digging up little gems. This is the most exciting thing I have done in ages.

Well done to all of you, yet again you have proved that many heads make like work (mind you 1837.com credits help aswell).

love Sarah xx

Oops, nearly forgot, I found this piccy today, I believe it's the type of plane our guys were flying at the time they were shot down.

I was just wondering -  after looking at the CWGC entry again - Leonard's Mum and Dad lived in Marton Wellington - would it be worth while getting in touch with the police there -  to see if they could help with any relatives who still live there - or do you think that has already been done?

This is just to say that I haven't lost interest, but our office move has been pushed up from next week to this  I'm lucky to find a working puter at the moment!

I take it nothing's been heard from the RAF yet as to whether they've had any luck in tracing relatives?

Will follow this as and when it's possible, and hopefully be back to help in a couple of days.

Cheers

Have emailed a New Zealand newspaper (Taranaki daily News) to see if they cover area of Marton or if they can point us in the direction of one in  the area
