Good morning Shirley, Wow, what a treasure trove!!! Thank you so much, I do appreciate your kindness in sharing this information. My grandparents lived in 39 Loverswalk when my grandfather went to war - WW1 When they got married in 1911 my grandmother lived in 18 Crown Road and my grandfather in 46 Nursery Road, Fordsburg. If anybody have a photo/picture or information to share on those streets, please be so kind in sharing it with me. My grandfather Frederick Ernest Smith remains a mystery before 1911 - I would love to find something or anything on him. His father was Alfred Smith. Thank you once again Shirley, Regards, Karin. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 9447 (20140220) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
