Hello Bill
Many thanks for your reply. Do you have it at the Family History Centre? and
if so what days are you open? I could well visit. Thank you for forwarding
my request on to the Say family - will be interested to hear from them.
The other thing the Family history centre may be able to help me with.
Another great Uncle - Chris Mummery was somehow involved with the soldier
settler scheme after the WW1, would like to follow that up also. I believe
that it was Chris who introduced Fred to Bill Say.
Kind regards
Beverley.
