| Message: | Hello, I am researching a family relative from the Newmarket area and wondered if there were any closer relatives who might have a photograph to spare. His name was Charles Edward Ranner, b 1885. Lived in Moulton. Served in the WW1 with the Royal engineers and was awarded the Military medal plus bar. Would love to hear from any relatives who could shed light on his WW1 exploits. magnman@gmail.com |

| Message: | I am attempting to produce a booklet covering the Roll of Honour that Bill Smith and Rod Gibson originated.The idea is to illustrate it with photos of all the cemeteries where our local lads lie or the Memorials on which they are commemmorated. In addition I will attmept to get phots of each grave marker. What I really would like from the Grans and Mums of the town( the ladies who hoard photos) is wherever possible a photograph of the actual Serviceman/woman for inclusion in the booklet. The WW2 ones may be simpler, the real task is to find the Great War victims before all trace of them disappears. tonypringle@gooner.me.uk will find me |

| Message: | In reply to the previous posting it should be remembered that up to about 1885 the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border ran along the High Street. The part of the town south of the High Street was in All Saints' Ward and in the parish of Wood Ditton and the county of Cambridgeshire. Therefore 'Station Road Woodditton' no doubt related to the old Newmarket Station in what is now Old Station Road in the county of Suffolk. |

| Message: | Just come across the NLHS site and have found it to be very informative. I was born in Newmarket Hospital in 1970 and have continued living in Newmarket. It was interesting to read the history and see the old pictures of the town. Could you include some more information about the boy's grave on the crossroads? |
