The Bolton branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) (http://www.mlfhs.org.uk/Bolton/) will hold its November meeting on Wednesday the 7th at 7.30pm at Bolton Cricket Club, Green Lane, Farnworth BL3 2JB. All are invited to attend. We have a return of Steve Williams the author and historian from Chorley talking about "Footballers in the Trenches". He plans to discuss how in WW1 men from all walks of life fought in the trenches on the Western Front and at Gallipoli, and he has collected some particular stories about some of the many thousands of professional and amateur footballers who were there and fought and died on these different playing fields. As usual, all are welcome and a Help Desk will be available for individual researchers after the meeting. All enquiries to Barbara Owen, Secretary, at 01204 309515. Note: Many thanks to fellow MLFHS member Jane M. for keeping us apprised of these meetings.
