Thanks for another very interesting story Maisie. I had to read it in installments as the phone kept ringing tonight!
I thought - if Thomas Huddy was so easy to find, maybe there's something n the internet. Sure enough putting his name into Google (uk sites), the first website it took me to was Thomas Huddy's page on Military Genealogy.com from the 'Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914 to 1919' database.
I can't see all his details as I am not registered there, but this is the page is showed
https://www.military-genealogy.com/name ... sid=128153The next google link took me to your story that you'd posted elsewhere
http://www.fiftyplussurfers.co.uk/id159.html The funny thing about this, is that towards the end of your story, on the right side of the screen my eye caught the word "Marple" which is where I was brought up! It is a link to stories of "The Marple of Christmas Past"
http://www.marple-uk.com/xmaspast.htm it mentions a couple of people I knew when I was a kid.
This then led me to the Marple website, reading up about Marple history, and now I have to go over to Arfa's Cromwell thread!! I actually had some work to do tonight, but I am the master of distraction so it isn't going to get done now! and all because I wondered enough about Thomas Huddy to do an internet search!!
