I believe they are in the normal bmd indexes. My great grandfather's death is recorded there - his body was found at the water's edge by Southport Pier early one Sunday morning. Seems he may have fallen off the pier while drunk. Brian Griffiths On 13/06/2014 09:24, dennis bramble wrote: > Drowning from the beach may be on the normal bmd indexes.

There was actually a neon sign, with the girl actually swinging, diagonally opposite the Empire theatre for many years. Marged Can anyone tell me if there is a published history of the Edmondson Full Swing Mineral Water Company of Liverpool? I have a friend visiting from New Zealand who is a descendant of these Edmondsons and she is particularly interested in finding out who was the 'girl on a swing' featured on their glass bottles. We understand that there was a plaque on the front of the Empire Theatre showing this emblem and would love to know where we might obtain a photograph. Also are there any other descendants of these Edmondsons out there? Hoping someone can help.

It is not well known that drownig in tidal rivers and creeks are recorded on the GRO Deaths at Sea index (Maritime Deaths) and not on the normal bmd indexes of deaths. Took me years to find the death by drowning, from barges, of two cousins. One in Faversham Creek and the other on the Medway off Upnor. Drowning from the beach may be on the normal bmd indexes. Of that I am not sure. Dennis Bramble.

Have you searched the British Newspaper Archive, Guardian and Times archives? No point in duplicating what you have already done.

the FreeBMD site also allows you to add a "postem" to the indexes. By stating the basic certificate details and your email address, you can "advertise" the unwanted certificate there.

>From the Liverpool Echo: "Two teenagers were arrested after more than 100 headstones and memorials were allegedly damaged by a gang of youths at a Wirral cemetery. "Merseyside police launched an investigation after receiving complaints there had been criminal damage to graves at Flaybrick Hill cemetery now known as Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, on Tollemache Road, Claughton. "Officers were called to the scene at around 11am last Friday morning to a report that more than 100 headstones and memorials had been damaged. "It is believed a gang of youths carried out the heartless crime the evening before. "As a result of police enquiries, two teenagers aged 15 years and 13 years from the local area were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage....

Hi Jean I was always under the impression that during a certain period of time, girls did samplers to practice their stitching and to show that they had learned their ABCs and numbers. The Victoria and Albert Museum has a history of samplers, which you may find interesting. See http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/h/a-history-of-samplers/ I also found this: http://www.needleworksamplers.com/Simply_Samplers/sampler_history.shtml and on the dreaded Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampler_%28needlework%29 Kind regards, Lynne Jean Flanagan <jeancflanagan@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > >Hi Listers, > >I'm hoping there is someone with knowledge regarding Samplers, and they can help me some guidelines on e.g. Doing things like Samplers etc, was it something that would only be available for people with a privileged back ground? > >My friend has a Sampler which is very nice done, on the Sampler there is a verse followed by, Rose Vose 1806.

Hello Jean, I don't claim much knowledge of samplers but many appear to have been produced by children at school. I have one neatly embroidered, inherited through my mother's family which says: "Maggie Cavanagh Aged 11, Saint Pauls School 1885 ... Lost time is never found again" I believe that this was St Paul's Catholic Junior School in West Derby. Maggie certainly did not have a privileged back ground.
