Thank you Averil for your help with all these Kirbys. Anyone reading this string should know that the I Museum staff have started searching the local papers for death notices& eulogies 2 parishes

just now & later hopefully all so that there are complete records for all Roll of Honour casualties. [hard copies easily consulted] I am going to take a break till New Year as I am "snowed" under [ although

not literally as last year] with heaps of other duties but will return. My news from the IMuseum is that it was hard work---firstly I am an Apple user [of 20 years] & not good with anything else & the search

was tedious not like G***** but those more skilled than I seem to cope OK.
