Such a small world then.....I grew up there - my grandfather was Mayor 5 times and my grandmother 3 times....(apart from being Lady Mayoress)

The Booths original site is now Boyes

[DTCwordfan]

am now down in the SW of the UK - was overseas for a long time....

[tastymorsel]

Whereabouts? Have just gone through a divorce and was seriously thinking of moving to SW but in the Dorset area.Been talked out of it now by friends and family but am extremely jealous of anyone who lives there.

[DTCwordfan]

Further down near Truro.....don't know why they talked you out of Dorrrrset....there is some lovely countryside and nice small accessible towns (other than Weymouth - which will be hell with the Olympics coming).

[DTCwordfan]

sorry to hear about the Big D - 3.5 years ago for me....

[tastymorsel]

Loved Weymouth.They talked me out of it because they thought I would be on my own and lonely.My most favourite place is Westbay about a mile from Bridport.On my own fekl good to me but ho hum!!

[tastymorsel]

*felt*

[DTCwordfan]

well immediate family can be important - I would like to get out of here and head for the Hawes/Ravesnstonedale area or perhaps around Crail.....so it is all relative....trying to pick some commissions up for drawings to make a trip up. Still have a sister in the area and she lives near Carnforth.

[tastymorsel]

I have a niece that lives in Carnforth.The world is getting smaller and smaller

[DTCwordfan]

are you on tomorrow as I have to be up early tomorrow.....sis is closer to Warton - teaches at QE K.L-dale

[tastymorsel]

probably only a matter of time before this lovely lot tell us to get a room so will sign off.was really nice talking to you and will be back in touch with any info I can get for you

[DTCwordfan]

Put ten English folk in a room and someone will know someone.

[DTCwordfan]

thanks and nice talking to you.....you do actually get to know some folk around here.

[tastymorsel]

love em all

[tastymorsel]

Got you now.P Quarry people methinks.It all now falls into place.Have put feelers out for Ben Probert but no-one here (Staveley)who knows him up to now.One of my work colleagues used to go out with Fred many years ago.

[jackthehat]

Sorry to interrupt............but my g.g grandmother was born in Burneside (Turner) and my g.g.grandparents (Stewart) ended up in Warton......

[tastymorsel]

Wow ! It gets better.I know people of both of those surnames.They are maybe not related to you but you never know

[DTCwordfan]

think I remember the Turners......

looked at the Milne Moser web site but no sign of Michael there - will give them a call.

Tasty - don't know if you are located in the Mill Yard - I know David Brockbank as he was at school with me - and his parents had a hol cottage down here, just across the water from my sister. She ran into him a few years ago at the R. Cornwall YC....

[tastymorsel]

I know David Brockbank by sight only.He flies around on here on his quad bike.I work further up the village near the weir.If you google North West Auctions there is a Michael Probert on there who works in Kendal but lives in Lancaster.He might be able to help you locate Ben.
