Just been up today.
Its just as I expected, there are now 397 names, the first list had 390 names.
Checked the first column there are 46 names per column.
From Ablett J. to Buckley J., the are eleven names without the 2nd initial.
George Booth the man who survived is still on.
Ada Broughton who never lived in Ossy is still on

Then on the 2nd column is Campbel H. Another error, His name was Henry Campbell WHITTAKER.

This is what you get when amateurs play at research, believing they know all.

It took many years for me to aquire the knowledge and information I now have.

If my list had been on the shelf in Accrington Library with Bill Turners name on it, it would have been accepted without question.

I could go on, but I might say something I should'nt

Retlaw.
