Re: Gravesite project
Would gladly do, but don't travel over there that often, especially in closed season, I'm afraid, so maybe somebody nearer?ancientnloyal wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:04 pm Well, if you take a photo of it, gets a what3words location we’re in business!
Just looked it up under Hindley Cemetery Index on very irritating Wigan World website.
Sydney Abram, aged 81 years, 18th Feb 1988, grave number CC 9-173. It's quite a prominent gravestone and the inscription mentions that he was the first try scorer in a Wembley cup final (Wigan v Dewsbury 1929).
Syd lived near our shop on Chapel Green in Hindley when I was a kid in the 1950s, and I briefly worked with him (for Norman Bibby's firm) in 1974.

Re: Gravesite project
Hello old friend Meds
There will almost certainly be players dotted around Cumberland. Who? I don’t know that’s the fun of it. I’m sure I have a sort of a list somewhere of players and genealogical info. If you’re interested though keep in contact or I can contact yourself as and when
