John- Thank you. I am sorry to have sidetracked you by not including the timeframe for Richard Whalley in my original message. The Richard Whalley ("the Younger") I am asking about was born in the 1550-1570 timeframe. He was the grandson of the very wealthy Richard Whalley ("the Elder") who lived from 1499-1583. If it is true Richard the Younger was Lord Mayor of London, I would speculate it would have been around 1600, say plus or minus twenty years. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: Jrhmdtraum@aol.com [mailto:Jrhmdtraum@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 12:58 PM To: WHALEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WSP] Richard Whalley, the Younger, Lord Mayor of London? In Victoria Garden: The Pathfinder This is a bronze Hammer Thrower, showing the strain of an Olympic event in incredible detail. It was manufactured by John Robinson and unveiled by Lord Mayor Cr Whalley in April 1974. I note that this Whalley is not listed in your web page In a message dated 8/26/2006 12:07:53 P.M.

The listing of Lord Mayors of London below, however, does not include Richard. http://www.steeljam.dircon.co.uk/lordmayorchrono.htm Does anyone know a source indicating Richard was the Lord Mayor of London? (Perhaps he took over for someone who died?) Thanks for any help. -Bob ==== WHALEY Mailing List ==== Wish to post from more than one address?
