If anyone has an interest in Disley, you might be interested in the above papers. We went to look at them at Manchester Central Library yesterday and, whilst not complete, they show how a tribunal met at the Wycliffe Hall from 1916 interviewing men who wished not to be called up. For example my grandmother`s brother applied because he had two brothers in the army (they were killed) and he had a widowed mother to support. The papers also show how a major employer J & J Makin tried to get exemption for their employees - as they did in the Second World War when my Father worked there and was exempt. A number of these documents are now on Flickr - just put in Disley First World War best wishes Marjorie Ward Derbyshire, UK Sources for Disley; Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley www.disley.net Sources for Hollingworths www.hollingworths.net Sources for NWDby incl Chapel; Charlesworth; Chinley; Fernilee; Glossop; Hayfield; Hope Valley; Mellor & New Mills http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dusk John Ward Paintings: www.johnward-art.com
