Daniel. If you ever get the chance to trawl the newspapers for Grt Grandma Elizabeth Yates.’s death she was a member of the Queens Hall. There’s a photograph of her marking her passing. She was well into her eighties. Death January 1955. If you are interested it could be in the Evening Post I think…I do remember seeing it.

Thanks I had heard about that but didn’t know which paper it was on. I will have a look at that at some point. I have a tone off stuff from flyers to group photos. Often wondered if the where any of the Yates on there but unfortunately there where few names. I do know Albert had his funeral there.

Oh ok, I don’t think it would be to hard to find anyway.
