Kate Booth has been collecting names from all the War Memorials in Tameside for a number of years now and they are now compiled into a global list. They have been gathered from various sources and some have much more information about the casualties researched by various people over the years. Kate has photographs of most of these memorials and should be able to send out to anyone interested.
Her index is contained in an 81 page document downloaded from the following website: http://www.

I wonder if you could distribute this (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CALSusers) to FHSC members in whatever way you think best? It’s a short survey which will help to inform the planning of new facilities and the new service. We will be looking at the results in February and building them into the HLF bid.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes

Below is today's news from the GRO: https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp
General Register Office (GRO) - PDF Extended Pilot
The GRO is piloting a service from 12 October 2017 to provide portable document format (PDF) copies of digitised historical birth and death records. The pilot will run for a minimum of 3 months to enable GRO to assess the demand for this service over a prolonged period.
Applications for each PDF cost £6, must be made online, and include a GRO index reference.
England and Wales records which are available as PDFs in this extended pilot include:
Births: 1837 –1916
Deaths: 1837 –1957
Note: A PDF is not a certificate and has no “evidential” value, and therefore a certificate is required for official purposes, e.g. applying for a passport, driving licence or giving notice of marriage.
Indexes
Have you used our Online Historical Birth and Death Indexes yet? They may include extra information, for example; maiden name or age at death.

Our Tameside Group was represented at this event on Saturday 8th June, where we met some interesting people. I was particularly pleased to meet an 85 year old lady who remembers being a small child and attending Suffragette meetings with her Grandmother.
