Thanks for the reply ... I thought I'd replied to this message but seems to have disappeared so apologies if I'm repeating myself. The idea of the priest telling them to call him Fitzpatrick makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Mary Ann was born in Liverpool around 1868. With regards to the census where Bridget was living with the Cullens, I meant to say 1861. Sorry. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am trying to trace details of the above person who is/was my cousin in the hope she (or more likely her family) might be able to help with some puzzling things in my family tree. Mavis was born in the September Quarter of 1929 to Arthur and Annie (nee MURPHY) MENZIES. She had a brother, Arthur. I believe Mavis married twice - first time to George BELL in 1951 and then as Mavis J BELL to Norman W BARNARD in 1958 (At Ormskirk). Does anyone have Mavis, George or Norman in their family history please?? regards, Dot -- Dot Holden Dover Kent UK There are three things that can never be retrieved, the spoken word, time past and the neglected opportunity

Hi Pauline This gives a brief run down on the system (if eligible) http://www.ppu.org.uk/learn/infodocs/cos/st_co_wwtwo.html And a little from the National Archives <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/conscientiousobjectors.htm> As I understand it the CO's needed to attend a tribunal and if those papers exist, I doubt they would be available to the general public WW2 service papers will be released in 2030, I would have thought the same would apply to CO tribunals if they survive Of course anyone could be a Conscientious Objector, they didn't have to sit a tribunal to be one It might be worth checking the online newspapers, plus the records office local to his residence at the time Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 28/06/2014 14:39, phodkinson@aol.com wrote: > > > > > > Hi everyone, > Hope this gets through this time. :) > > My father always said he was a Conscientious Objector in WW2 but I never believed him as he was crippled with Polio as a boy and only had one good leg. > He would never have been accepted in the forces because of this.

Hi Pauline, I had an uncle who was in a reserved occupation. However, he insisted on going before a tribunal (or whatever it was) and proving himself as a conscientious objector. Could that be the case with your father?

>From Bolton & District FHS: The Bolton branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) (http://www.mlfhs.org.uk/Bolton/) will hold its next meeting Wednesday July 2nd at 7.30pm. Peter Watson, the speaker who was originally booked for next week's meeting, is unwell and currently in hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery and all the best. We are lucky enough to have Tony Foster, local historian of Lancs FH&HS and Lancs BMD, prepared to step in for us at short notice. He is going to tell us about his experiences of researching a War Memorial, and recount some of the stories he has found. This is of course quite appropriate at the moment and we are very grateful that he can manage this. The meeting will be at the usual venue of Bolton Cricket Club, Green Lane, Farnworth, BL3 2JB starting at 7.30pm with refreshments available at the bar. All welcome. There is a nominal charge for non MLFHS members. A Help Desk will be available afterwards. Please note there is now a genealogy magazine recycle programme, so please bring your old unwanted magazines to be passed to or exchanged with others. Nothing will be wasted. Parking is free but please allow some time as the Rounders season is also in full swing. Enquiries to Barbara Owen Secretary on 01204 309515.

Good Morning, I mostly lurk and learn but this one caught my eye. My mother, who was born and raised in Winnemucca Nevada but went to school in San Francisco California in the 1940s used it when I was growing up. She was half German and half English, not sure where she picked it up at.

Many thanks, Nivard, for this information. I will also be going over to Wigan History Shop to see if they have any newpapers of the time. Best wishes, Pauline

It could be Christine but I would like to find out more. Always the case when there is no one left alive who could have helped me. Thanks for you suggestion. Pauline

Hi everyone, Hope this gets through this time. :) My father always said he was a Conscientious Objector in WW2 but I never believed him as he was crippled with Polio as a boy and only had one good leg. He would never have been accepted in the forces because of this. He did a spell down the mines and also as a stretcher bearer meeting the soldiers at Liverpool Station. He ended up on munitions at Euxton where he met my mother. He was born in Wigan in 1905 and I am wondering if there was a register as I have now found out that CO's had to register. If there was a register, where would it be now? Has anyone any idea? Glad of all comments. Best wishes to all especially to Lynne for all the hassle she must have had recently. Pauline in Darwen
