hi out there, I just spent an hour typing a new posting, saved it while I went for a cuppa and now can't find it.

Any suggestions where it went?

Happy Sunday, Well, it has been apart from the persistant rain. I spent some of the day printing A4 copies of the pictures sent by Cloghopper, they have come out really well. These will now get passed on to the man in the trilby, "Matthias's", grandaughters and on to Billy, Cloghoppers cou...

:grin: Evening all, I had a really bad start to my day today, but as we get towards the end of the day it has redeemed itself and turned out to be a real goodun after all. This is mainly due to Cloghopper and Stanley. If I were in a position to hand out gold medals, Cloggy, you would get 3. One for ...

Morning all, Just a quickie before I go to work, the photos are great, real people, not just names on certificates. The butcher whose wife died, is Matthias's brother, Richard Thwaite Dixon, we found him living in levenshulme with his children in 1911, but also found a Richard S Dixon, with the same...

Happy Easter to all, I am enjoying a little chocolate while I read and like Stanley I'm loving the feedback. The Matthias we were researching is Rosemary Dinsdale's brother, Cloghoppers great uncle and my wife's great, great uncle. So far it appears each generation has had a "Matthias" in ...

Hi Cloghopper, All help is more than gratefully accepted, but just to clarify I assume you are a Dinsdale, but don't have a record of your dad, was he born after Alfred? Then is cousin Billy a Dinsdale or a Thwaite Dixon? I know Gargrave isn't to far away so i will widen my search. I noted your comm...

I think a suitable word might be "Eureka". This has taken some time, but well worth it.

I will contact "Cloggy" privately and exchange notes, to fill in as many blanks as I can, in the mean time

Thanks to all for the help, hopefully more history to follow.

Regards

Hi Wendy, Thats bloomin' marvelous, your tip coupled with a bit of magic called "zapgrab" now means I have an A3 copy of Kelbrook in 1963. Its a little blurred but I can clearly see no. 3 no. 5 etc - When we walk round Kelbrook next time we will know where to stop & stare & maybe e...

Hi every one, I have had a go at thanking people, now I know how it makes it easy. I am planning a trip in the next week to maybe visit the Boundry shop at Colne and call in at Kelbrook again, as WendyF mentioned a 1963 map showing no 3 colne road I thought Iwould ask.. is it a map I can look at, bo...

Me again,

I forgot to ask, how do I "thanks" to my profile page, I always say thank you for the help I get

but how does it appear or do I have to do something?

Happy Days! Afternoon everyone. Thanks to WendyF I have reread Clogghoppers original posting and persevered with the old website (only took 2 hours of repeating the links to get there). As you know we found Matthias Dixons Sister in the grave yard at Kelbrook, having been the residents at Tunstead F...

Many thanks to all, everything is of interest as it helps build up a fuller picture of what was happening in the area. Thanks in particular to Wendyf, for finding another number 3 Colne Road. My wife and I walked up the lane to the vicarage at the side of the craven heifer and used the crossing outs...

Hi to all, This topic is a repeat of one I started on the old website - I am trying to trace an ancestor - Matthias Dixon who lived in Kelbrook around 1911 to 1941. From the begining then... the 1911 Census shows Richard Thwaite Dixon, a widower living with his 2 children, Arthur and Mary at 3 Colne...
