From the Ordnance Survey web site (https://tinyurl.com/y7s8rnmg): "Tens of thousands of unseen post-war images of Manchester unveiled online for first time. New historical photo mapping web app Timepix.uk was launched in Manchester this week, giving the public the chance to explore how their streets looked in yesteryear. "Pictures taken in the late 1940s to early 1950s were the Google Street View of their day and are a fascinating insight into how Greater Manchester looked back then. They show surveyors from Ordnance Survey (OS) marking out Revision Points to map the city, but also capture faces of many unknown young children – who would be in their sixties or seventies today. "Timepix.uk founder Elaine Owen hopes the event will jog some memories and put names to mystery faces photographed in the collection. She said: 'We have a treasure-trove of images which illustrate everyday Manchester life while surveyors were going about their daily business. 'These photos show many faces of children from the city who would still be alive today. "'We’d love people to visit timepix.uk and search the places and streets they know to see if they recognise anyone, or even themselves. That would be fantastic.' "Elaine added: 'There is such a rich heritage captured in the collection. As well as surveyors measuring revision points with the distinctive white hand-held arrows of that time, among other details you can clearly see shop fronts and goods on sale from that era, billboards promoting movie stars, local landmarks and advertising slogans of the time. "'We have published thousands of photos from across great swathes of the city, not just the centre, but residential areas in surrounding towns such as Stockport, Stalybridge, Oldham and Rochdale. If you have any connection to Greater Manchester at all it is well worth a look.' "Timepix.uk, a web app for geo-locating historical photos, is Elaine’s brainchild. "Education manager at OS and part-time historian, Elaine knew there were hundreds of thousands of historic photos that have never been digitalised or catalogued, tucked away in public sector vaults or in library files. The aim of Timepix.uk is to get them online, so people can browse photos by searching for them using either a modern digital OS map, or a historical OS map from circa 1900. Low resolution watermarked copies can be downloaded and shared for free, while there is a charge for higher resolution versions to help fund the site and its future development. "The project is part funded by Geovation, OS and HM Land Registry’s innovation hub. "Elaine said: “We have a further 25,000 images of other parts of Greater Manchester to go online shortly. Our plan is to add further images from other towns and cities around the UK, so we can make available historical images for the entire country.” "The detailed survey of Manchester started in the early 1940s, but really took off post-war. The surveyors would capture the measurements and take the photos, with a field labourer holding a pointer, the white arrow, and a hymn board in shot displaying any relevant information. Street corners were preferred locations for RPs as they gave a line of sight in more than one direction, so there is a high number of corner shops in the collection. "OS continues to map Manchester in detail decades later. OS is working with CityVerve, the UK’s demonstrator project in Manchester for large scale deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This involves capturing data on street furniture such as lampposts and bus stops to provide a deeper geospatial framework for the project. OS has also trialled indoor mapping in Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium changing rooms. It takes just minutes for a 3D laser scanner to ‘map’ the area and create a 3D image. "Timepix is a work in progress. View the Manchester pictures here: https://www.timepix.uk/#/map "

I have found another twist in my family tree, which has sent me off in another direction for the search for my grandmother. Does anyone know what information I could expect to find on a birth certificate in 1939. If the mother was separated from her husband, would the baby`s father be named? She had been living with this person for several years, so it wasn`t a case of a birth with father unknown. Many thanks, Linda,Cambridge UK

Read with interest. Is anyone researching the Mayohs? I have one b1901 Bolton married to a Samuel White (whose Mother was Esther Cooper Butterworth my great aunt) I notice mention of a cousin Kempster relative in the obit. I have Kempsters descending from another great aunt Butterworth (Emily Jane),sister of the one above.) I would be pleased to hear if this connects with anyone's interests Gavin (Butterworth) Yates Subject: [LAN] Obituary - Mayoh(Greenhalgh), Doris The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 13, 2018 Doris Mayoh(March 30, 1921 - April 5, 2018) Doris Mayoh passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at the Assiniboine Centre, Brandon, MB after a brief illness and 97 years well-lived. Doris was born on March 30, 1921 in Bolton, Lancashire, England to Thomas and Mary Alice Greenhalgh. She was educated in Bolton and Manchester. During the war years, she worked for the Arts Council of Great Britain. She married the love of her life, Leonard Mayoh, (predeceased 1978) in 1943. She served as Leonard’s accompanist until his death. Doris and Leonard emigrated to Canada in 1951, and lived in Halifax for 11 years. While there, she performed hundreds of broadcasts for CBC Radio on the National and Maritime networks. They moved to Wolfville in 1962 and to Brandon in 1967. Doris taught for the Eckhardt-Grametté Conservatory and Brandon University for many years, passing on her passion for music to students – young and old. She was a loyal and faithful member of St. Matthews Cathedral and the Canadian Registered Music Teachers Association. She leaves behind those most precious to her: daughter Anne and husband John MacNeill, Toronto, granddaughter Kate and husband Stefano Cortellucci, Oshawa, grandson Nicholas Gowen and fiancée Jessa Dalit, Whitby and most special, her adored great-grandchildren Sophia and Anthony Cortellucci. She is also survived by cousins Gillian Hallett and Paul Kempster, in Nova Scotia, cousin Joyce Hibbert and nephew Christopher Mayoh in England. A compassionate and principled person, Doris loved her country of birth and her adopted home country. As different as Manitoba is from England and Nova Scotia, she came to love this province and often commented on her love for the “big sky”. Her faith sustained her, as did her love of music and her desire to share it with hundreds of young people, but most of all she treasured her family. The family wishes to acknowledge an extraordinary group of loyal and loving friends who gave so much to make Doris’ last months better, particularly Wanda Nicol, Karen Holland, Leanna Mitchell and Jennifer Nichols. There are no words to express our gratitude. So many others gave of themselves to make life easier for Doris and her family over the last few years. We thank you all. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at St. Matthews Cathedral, 403 – 13th Street, Brandon, MB on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow. Flowers are gratefully declined.

It is a difficult subject but a line does have to be drawn somewhere unfortunately. My late husband's grandfather came back from WW1 but had terrible nightmares and was, basically, a broken man. His sons took over the coal business otherwise it would have had to be sold on. He tried twice to hang himself, was found the first time and survived but waited until every one was out the second time and was dead when he was discovered. I very much doubt he would have killed himself except for the terrible things he saw during his War service.

I think that you've been misled by the common names applied to the surviving service records. Don't worry - I made the same error once. The Burnt Records were in the Arnside Street warehouse that was set on fire in WW2. The so-called Pension Records are known as that because they were found in a pensions office. However, there were nowhere near enough records there to cover everyone with a pension, I understand. Further, no-one really knows why the office had those records in the first place. There must have been some reason to withdraw them from Arnside Street or its predecessors - survey? Report? Specific enquiries? Whatever the reason, these were never sent back - why? Laziness? Non-completion of the work? It's by no means unknown to find someone with records in both the Burnt Records and the so-called Pension Records. Again, we can't think why...

Have you checked his service/pension records to see what they say about his being "gassed" ?  Do either of the Newspaper reports actually say he died of the things they mention ?   As others have said his TB may or may not be related to his war service. As for his entitlement to be included on a War Memorial, many of these say they are to the "Fallen" of the War and many people would die early as a result of their health being impaired during the War.   It's a matter of where the folk who erected the memorial decided to draw the line. There can be oddities on just whose name appeared and where.   I researched the names on the Village memorial and one was interesting, but I could find no connection with the village - his family was from Cambridgeshire (not Lancashire where the memorial was) and he had been born in South America.   He was also shown on a memorial in Cambridgeshire. -- Bob C http://www.bccy.org.uk and http://extra.bccy.org.uk On 10/04/2018 18:36, Peter Metcalfe wrote: > I'm researching a man in my home town who served in WW1 and was discharged in November 1917.

Thank you for all your responses. My man was not commemorated by the CWGC and his service record has not survived, which is rather odd, because I thought all pensioner records survived. It was only one of the local newspapers that said he was discharged with a pension. Personally I think he should be added to the memorial (it is a memorial and not a roll of honour) because there are two men on it which I don't think should be. One was discharged with a pension due to a heart condition "not caused or aggravated by army service" and died two years later. And the other died on 29th Aug 1921 of cirrhosis of the liver and heart failure. Both were commemorated by the CWGC. Thanks again Peter

Indeed. I've just tried to find my notes and failed, but if you were still in uniform, then if you died from any cause btw 2 dates (which I have forgotten but beyond 11/11/18), you were entitled to a CWGC memorial. If you were ex-services and died from a cause related to the war between (probably) the same 2 dates, then you were also entitled to a CWGC memorial. Though in this case, someone had to tell the CWGC I guess... (Which I suppose was the IWGC at the time - I for Imperial, not C for Commonwealth).

Hi, Reading this thread made me think about my mother's cousin. He was killed 8/8/1918, near Villers-Bretonneux. His name is not on any memorial in Australia. I better start working on it.

Peter Just because I am replying to your original message doesn't mean that I haven't read all the replies because I have. However I think that there are a couple of things that it is worth going back to the original for. You need to check the exact reason for his discharge in 1917 (this would imply that they papers did survive for him) and I suspect that it will be para 392 which from memory is unfit for service. If he was gassed then it should well be in his service file - it was in my grandfathers. As far as I am aware (and can check online) gas was only used on the Western Front. I am happy to be proved wrong You need to check whether the memorials were erected for "those who served" or "those who died". I would also suggested checking exactly when they were erected and certainly if he died after they had agreed the list of names it would not be a surprise. I would also be worth check all the newspaper reports that he appears in. I once had a woman who appeared in 33 newspaper reports and whilst the majority were the same a couple had an odd snippet that made all the difference.

> His name is not on any war memorial in the town and I'm trying to establish if it should be, so can anyone advise me please if the cause of his death could in anyway be related to his being gassed in the army.< As part of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Living memory project I researched the three war graves in our village churchyard. All three died after the war one in 1919 and the other two in 1920. Two died of TB and another of heart disease. All three have been honoured. Two of them do have army pensioner on the death certificate. At the moment I am trying to get another local soldier recognised and have sent all relevant papers to the commission as he too was an army pensioner. Linda
