Hi, Thanks to those who responded to my query concerning Hedley Verity, it is much appreciated. I am still looking for something about his family, however, which may link him to my graet grandmother, Alice Jane Weatherill. Merry Christmas, Daryl Jones.

This is what the commonwealth war graves commission has for Hedley Verity: http://www.cwgc.org/ Debt of Honour Register In Memory of HEDLEY VERITY Captain 113079 1st Bn., Green Howards (Yorkshire Regt.) who died on Saturday 31 July 1943 . Additional Information: Played cricket for Yorkshire and England. Cemetery: CASERTA WAR CEMETERYItaly Grave or Reference Panel Number: VI, E, 15. Location: Take the autostrada A2 to Naples, and leave it at the Caserta Nord exit. Proceed to the first set of traffic lights and then turn left and continue along the main street eastward for 2.2 kilometres, past the Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale). Just after the Royal Palace, about 0.2 kilometres, turn left at the main intersection (a piazza with round corners) and head north for 2.0 kilometres, following this street along the eastern edge of the Royal Gardens. After 2.0 kilometres, turn right and proceed directly westward for 0.8 kilometres, then turn southward down an incline. After a distance of 0.3 kilometres there will be a large Communal Cemetery located on the left; proceed to the main gates and the CWGC plot will be found at the end of this road. Cars should be parked within the Communal Cemetery grounds for security reasons. Visiting Information: Outside normal working hours the cemetery gates are kept locked, but may be opened by dialling 3820 on the padlock combination. Historical Information: On 3 September 1943 the Allies invaded the Italian mainland, the invasion coinciding with an armistice made with the Italians who then re-entered the war on the Allied side. Allied objectives were to draw German troops from the Russian front and more particularly from France, where an offensive was planned for the following year. The Royal Palace at Caserta served as headquarters for the Allied armies in Italy for the greater part of the duration of the Italian campaign and the 2nd General Hospital was at Caserta from December 1943 until September 1945. Some of those buried here died in the hospital, others as prisoners of war before the Allied invasion. There are also a few burials from the October 1943 fighting on the River Volturno, which lies not far away to the north.

Not sure if this has actually appeared in the list, so here it is again.. Hello listers, I have just subscribed to this list, and I wonder if anyone can help me please? I am descended from Thomas Ward and Alice Jane Weatherill who married at Wilton near Redacar in 1869. When I started my research about ten years ago, a great aunt of mine assured me that there is a connection with the great cricketer Hedley Verity who played for Yorkshire and England during the 1930s, and died as a Prisoner of War in Italy, I believe in 1943. The connection has never been proven one way or the other, but my great aunt said that the connection was through the Weatherill family, and also mentioned a related family named Peacock. I have looked at websites detailing the life and achievements of Hedley Verity, also loaned a biography of the man from my local library, and even contacted it's author, but I can't establish anything! This may seem a bit vague, but can anyone help? Daryl Jones.

Hi everyone, I am new to this list. I am a fairly new researcher having been researching for nearly 12 months in my spare time. I am researching the following names from Durham - Yorks and I am looking for any connections to this family. I have already posted to the Yorksgen list. There are quite a few Eells families of Stockton, particularly a Thomas Eells but I haven't found the connection yet. (N.B.I have the 1881, 1891, 1901 census entries already for this family). William EELLS b 1849 Stockton, Durham married to Elizabeth WATSON b 1852 Thornaby. Children Laura, Minnie Louisa and Edith, 1881 Address listed as 13 Thornaby Rd, Thornaby, York, England. 1891 Address listed as 8 Thornaby Place, Thornaby, York, England. Looking forward to hearing from anyone with information about this family. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Regards Chris (from hot and sunny Queensland, Australia). _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

I am interested in JOHNS(T)ON and THOMPSON families from North Shields (or poss Tynemouth) in the early 1800s. Also JOLLIFFES and ERRINGTONS from North Shields/South Shields/Ryton. Thanks Tim

Ron: Thanks for the reply regarding your memories of Carlton. My web page: http://community.webtv.net/nanspage

I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has come across a JAMES JOHNS(T)ON b. approx 1820 anywhere in Northumberland/Co. Durham with father JOHN. Thanks Tim

Dear Nancy, My grandparents lived in Carlton for a number of years, it was in the 1950's a small farming community as a child I cannot remember evidence of an Ironworks, a number of new expensive houses have now been built there. The local pub is the Smiths Arms right in the middle of the village. The Iron works that I know of were at Stillington which is about 3 miles away, I used to play around the slag heaps when I was very young, the works closed down I think before I was born, there was factory producing an insulating material from the slag heaps called Slag wool. Much of the old village has now been demolished. Sorry I have no information on your family but I thought that you like some background info, my memory is a little hazy but I seem to recall the name Jackson in the village as being farmers.
