Pete, You are a ROCK STAR!! Not only have I found family on your site, but I love reading when everyone else does. I apologize for having to wait this long and be prompt by reading someone else's thank you to give you my humblest thanks for all the hard work that you do. There has got to be an extra special place for you in Heaven for all the hard work that you do on Earth! Love, Kathy In a message dated 3/8/2009 3:52:12 A.M.

Its not only nice to know that others have found it useful but also inspires the further effort involved in obtaining and collating information. Although I live in Leicestershire now and was born in Cheshire I spent most of my childhood in Manchester and have visited Morcombe on several occasions. Kind regards, Pete. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Owen Davey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 2:01 AM Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] 1881 Lancashire Down Strays > Peter . > Thanks for your work.
