Family history and other stuff

I may have opened a can of worms - I've just ordered my first death certificate from the GRO. It's for the young Dan Hirons who was reputed to have met a nasty end while working as a navvy. I've found the closest match - I'm reasonably confident this is the one we're looking for - and now must wait until the end of next week to see if my hunch is correct.

If it is, then there are a number of other certificates I shall have to purchase - birth, marriage and death - to help my research further. Problem is, they cost at least £7 each...

Blues beat Premiership outfit Sheffield United 4-2 away in the League Cup last night. For all my criticism of the manager, this was a good result and hopefully if he is going to keep his job he'll build on it. The next two games - West Brom at home , Coventry away - are both crucial to his - and our - future...
