Dear all I have a photo of my Wheatley family taken around 1898 in Ulleskelf in the Ainsty. All the children have medals attached to their clothing the girls have three and the boys five. I have in my possession six of these identical medals in small boxes with my grandads name (Harold Wheatley) inscribed on the boxes. On the one side is written *"Ainsty Bishopthorpe & Selby Church Society Awarded for attendance"* on the other side *"Reward of Merit"* The medal was fabricated by *Allman London* The date I give is an assumption on how old my grandfather looks (born 9/8/1888) but it is definitely before 30th March 1901 as on the census they are all living in York. Has anyone any ideas on where to find out more about the Church Society and /or the medals. -- Gillian Cattell
