Yesterday i went to put flowers on my gr grandparents grave in Eastergate, and their were some their already, as we aren't in touch with anyone from that side of the family, i wrote a letter putting my contact details on it and who i was, and placed it in a plastic bag under a heavy stone. So fingers crossed i may get an answer if the angels are watching over me. Sandra

Sandra, How exciting. I do hope whoever it is gets in touch with you., Jean x.

Hi there Sandra, How mysterious, I hope you find out soon who they are. Jo.X

What a great idea ....good thinking! Joyce

We did that with my gt grand parents grave, my dads cousin eventually rang, which was great as we didn't even know he existed! Tam

I really hope you hear from them. It's funny because I thought of doing something similar on my great grandparents' grave next time I'm in Preston. I had the latest report through from CEMSEARCH yesterday and although I the right graves aren't yet on it I know they're there somewhere! Good luck. Daisy

oh Sandra how exciting! When we found our gt grandparents grave, there were some silk flowers there that looked only a few months old. My sister went back and did the same as you, but we have never heard. We are going again next week, so it will be interesting to see what is there. Hope you hear something soon. Maz. XX

Oh I do hope you get an answer. Isnt it exciting when you meet a new family member. I just met one on the site. We are still exchanging stories at the moment. Deanna

Good luck Sandra. Will you let us know if you hear anything back? Pretty please? Glenys x

Thankyou for your replies, i do hope i hear something, i'm glad some of you think its a good idea, and that one of you had a result. Its just a long shot but worth a chance. sandra

Hoping you hear something Sandra, how interesting, keep us posted :)

Fingers crossed that you get a reply. It's so annoying when that happens. We went to visit my sister and baby's grave in Wooler just after Mother's day and there had been some flowers left on the grave. We have been putting flowers on since 1979 and apart from one occasion when a relative put her wedding bouquet on it there have never been any flowers other than ours. Wish I'd done the same as you now as it has been really bugging me ever since. Good Luck! Lorrainex

Sandra, I hope you get a result. I am a firm believer in taking opportunities whenever you can to find out more information. If you don`t take that chance you will never know and may always regret it. Even if it is a longshot, and nothing comes of it, it is definitely worth a try. Fingers crossed for you. Frances

Sometimes longshots pay off, lets hope so, i am going to do it on other graves now and see what happens. sandra
