Would you delete your other two posts..............seems you were a bit heavy-handed on the 'submit' button

Clearly you don't need burial info................you gave us the man's death details.

As for his birthplace..............pinpointing it could prove very difficult, as you've already discovered.

Hello John, it's easy to delete your old threads.

Simply click on one of the blue links above and it will take you to the old thread. When you see the old thread, you will see the word 'Delete' printed in blue. Click on that and, hey presto, the thread is gone.

Then, come back to this thread and do the same with the other old threads you have been advised to remove.

Hope this helps. Cx :-)
