Listers hi. I decided that I should get up and do some real work last weekend and dug into the cupboard for my "coffin" the box in which I have stored my dead files on HIram research. Files I've used. When I was going thru them I found several things which were interesting to other research I am doing and started to read it again. I've been doing this at night, at work in my lunch break and then coming home and working on it. If I can, I suggest people - pull all your research out and look at it again. You see things from different angles a second third and fourth time. I find that I understand the information better, things click together easier. I found a lot of papers on rates sent to me so kindly by Geoffrey Craig from Stanley one day. I thought I might post the names for anyone who may have them in their tree, and I will then happily tell you about the property. Good luck - There is a lot on the Commercial Hotel and its various owners over the years. If the names are repeated it is because I am going thru lots of pages and as I list, ones I remember I don't repeat, but others I do. sorry. So if your names appears it may appear a few times - remind me.
