My name is Paul Chiddicks and I am a family history researcher and I live in Willaston, near Nantwich in Cheshire. I have recently been given some photographs of six men who sadly lost their lives diffusing a bomb, not far from where I live, during WW2.

In recent times, I have been carrying out more local history based projects and I would really like to research and look into what happened and trace the history of the soldiers that sadly died and if possible, try to trace the family members, if there are any, of those that sadly died.

Any help that you are willing to provide will be enormously helpful.

I should add at this point that this is purely for my own personal use, there is no commercial aspect to the project whatsoever. I have my own family history blog on which I share these stories and in more recent times I have been researching stories that have captured my imagination, that are not directly connected to my own family. I also researched the lives of 34 firefighters who lost their lives during the Blitz in WW2, which is still today, the largest ever loss of life for the Fire Brigade at a single incident and subsequently built my own website to tell and commemorate those that died.

The soldiers who died were; 4270436 Sapper Albert Edward Fearon, 2094019 Sapper Michael Lambert, 7895135 Sapper George Lucas and 2001843 Sapper Harold Walter Thompson, 1895467 Sapper John Perrins and 2210433 Sergeant Edward Joseph Greengrass.

Kind regards

Paul Chiddicks

It is once again time for our annual Ireland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one. If you are currently participating in more than one team we would appreciate you ranking them in their order of importance to you, from highest priority to lowest. This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
2. In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?
3. How active have you been in the Ireland Project over the past year? Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.
4. Please provide feedback on any things you’d like to see the project do more of in the future.

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
