Hi all Susannah has reminded me with the 11th November approaching I would like remember my great uncle who died in WW1 and his name is one the Margate Memorial. He died as a prisoner of war in germany and is buried in Arras, France. He lived in Byron Road, Margate. On the 10th April, just six months before the end of the war, SR/92 Private Stephen Charles Langston of the 6th battalion of the East Kent Regiment, the Buffs, died in Germany. Steven died a prisoner of the German army in Germany. Stephen's death certificate stated that he died of cardiac weakness, he was 36 years old. Although he died in Germany he was buried in the village of Souchez, 7 miles north of Arras in Northern France at the war cemetery, Plot 15, Row O, Grave 4.

For people who don't already know Ancestry have put on line millions of names of passengers who emigrated to America. According to the radio the site is free, on the site it says free during November. Anyone with family members who left this country for America should take the opportunity to search for their ancestors. Its easy to use, I found my members immediately, and you can download the actual passenger lists. Good Hunting. Laurie Bridger.
