Mind you I am biased because he has just added an extra page of photos supplied by myself frrom when we lived at Hanging Royd, just across the valley from Golcar, in the 1940s. If you really want a laugh, go to paqe 2 of Old Photographs of the Colne Valley and see the "Monster of the genealogy lists" and what a cherubic, angelic-looking child he was when he was 5 years old! There are pictures too of my mum feeding the geese and my parents at some function or other when my dad was a member of the Colne Valley Urban District Council. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
