Hi All

[Ktkoo89]

Hello everyone,

I have been snooping on this site for a while now since my grandmother Joyce Grave died in October 2011 and got looking into my family tree which led me to seek out old photographs of the area where I found this site and have finally decided to join. I am still interested in finding out information about the Grave/Demaline family so if anyone does know anything I would be very grateful.

Thank, Katie.

Hi Katie, welcome to the site. If you could give us a few more details about the families you are researching it might help. There were Demaines in Earby, but I haven't heard of Demaline.

Hi Katie,
there are a few of us on here who dabble in our family trees so if you need any help just ask, we may not be able to answer your questions but we will have fun trying.

Welcome Katie. Billy Demeline ran a barber's shop in Barlick 1920/1930.
Find the Lancashire Textile Project on the site, go to Ernie Roberts transcripts, 78/AC/2 has Ernie talking about working as a lather boy for Billy Demeline in the barber's shop next door but one to the Seven Stars, later the Excelsior Saloon (see my article 'Next for Shaving'). In 78/AC/7 Ernie talks about his son serving in India during WW2.
Here's the shop in 1900 when it was run by a man called Shaw.

Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to access many of the transcripts in the LTP on the old site, including the one you mention Stanley. I can get into the list of Ernie Roberts transcripts but no further.

I've tried and you're right Wendy. I'll have to have a word with Doc about it.

The above problem with the LTP on the archive site is now fixed with the new LTP2013 available here:
