Re: World War One Soldier
Did Accy have an annual Mela festival in 1920? If so, it could be summat to do with that.

Re: World War One Soldier

Re: World War One Soldier
Come on, now, Andrew Jackson. I know that I suggested this to Retlaw not long ago, but, please, back up your statement with facts.

Re: World War One Soldier
Thanks for this Andrew, I live some distance from Accy and can't easily visit the library. As an Accy lad, though, I was intrigued with s'retlaw query like many others, and I'm pleased that you've come up with what seems to be the answer to his question.

I checked the Burgess Rolls back in early September for George Armstrong, he was not living in Lydia St, in 1920, but he was in 1921 & 1922. Retlaw. Last edited by Retlaw; 07-10-2009 at 15:31. |
