Hi

Just trying to reply to Alison's thread re Hubert but it is locked?
Why is that?

Anyway here is what I have received by reqesting help on another boardfrom Colette

PRIEST
In affectionate remembrance of Hubert PRIEST , mason and a free quarryman of the Royal Forest of Dean in the county of Gloucester. Born at Coleford in that county, on the 14th day of February 1841. Died at Everton, after a short illness on the 19th day of September 1868, aged 27 years. 'Day by day his voice said come, enter thine eternal home,Asking not if we could spare, This dear soul it's summons bear. Had he asked us , well we know, we should cry, 'O spare this glow,' Yes with streaming tears should pray, Lord we love him let him stay.' Also Annie Maria PRIEST, of Waterloo, sister of the above, died December 26th 1907, aged 64 years. 'For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.'

Section 4 grave 1712
Anfield Cemetery

What a lovely thing to say about him:)

also -

In 1881 126 was the Hospital for Infectious Diseases there was no 130.. ao unless the numbers had changed by 1881 i would say it was the Hospital.. M Silver must have been the registrar there.
