...commemmorating 150 years of the service........runs til 31 august

Hi Jazzy, no I didn't - still getting used to the cold!
I'll go and have a look. Who were they?

I can't really give names on here but a very old Poole name going back to 1545 !

That sounds really interesting Jazzy. Having Lifeboatmen as ancestors something to be proud of. I hope none died rescuing people.
Today was billed as the hottest so far this year, poole pirate!

Sadly a couple did die, ros.
Descendant cousins are still volunteers

I'll find them - I've got friends that old!
Downhill from here then Ros 😉

Oh dear Jazz, but good for your cousins. You must be very proud of them

Yes, ros, very proud of them
I have jus t checked out Bodnant. Beautiful :)

The Laburnum arch was in flower and masses of rhodies. The best bit was the newly opened lake, literally alive with tadpoles. I loved the Meconopsis too, my dad used to grow them. A bit exotic for suburban Birkenhead.
I have access to two newspaper archives Jazzgirl, so if you'd like me to find reports for you about your Lifeboat men, please ask Norah to forward a mail.

That is a kind offer Ros. One of my younger family members has been very busy sending me microfilm photos and I think she has covered all the men wno died. She copies the film from the Dorchester history centre.
I have not given my email to anyone as yet,although quite a few have tracked me down somehow. ;)
