Wirral Pals - the story of the 13th (Wirral) Battalion Cheshire Regiment in the Great War - a talk by Peter Threlfall

Edward's grandfather lived in mid-Cheshire and for years kept a diary.  Edward has transcribed these diaries and presents them in a series of talks.  Before the pandemic we had booked Edward to give this talk but unfortunatley we had to cancel this, so we are really pleased that he is able to now give this, the second talk in the series. 

1914-1918 Home Front during the First World War

Edward's grandfather lived in Elworth and worked for Fodens, this is the story of his life and his thoughts on world and local events during the time, a fascinating insight 

This event is open to all, £2 entrance charge for members and £3 for visitors, refreshments served 

Very little survives of Ashton-under-Lyne Poor Law Union, so I spent a week at the National Archives looking into the Poor Law Correspondence papers, putting together whatever I could find to help fill in local gaps.  I will cover the history of the Poor Law locally and then some discoveries of when the New Poor Law of 1834 and how it took fully 17 years to implement locally.

The May FHSC Cheshire Research Buddies topic of the month is Tarporley, Kelsall, and Delamere - Do you have ancestors in the town, or are you researching a local family and want some help, perhaps on the other hand you live in the locality and could offer help with photographing gravestones or buildings. This is the chance for members to help each other, I'm sure there are many members out there with knowledge of the area that they could share. If you have a research question then please feel free to email me on  and I will circulate it among attendees beforehand.

You will need to register to attend, to do so please click on the 'Register [Individual]' button below on the left and process your registration, you will receive an email confirmation and the zoom links/meeting protocol will be forwarded the morning of the helpdesk meeting. If you run into any difficulties with this then please contact Margaret Roberts on .
