Hi, you posted on the Suggestions report for Street-1520 requesting a photo from FAG, the previous photo and memorial was removed from Find A Grave in December 2021. A number of Hunter related memorials have been removed in the past few months.

I live about 50 km from the cemetery and will take a photo of the grave when weather allows.

Thank you! I wonder why the memorials have been removed. It's winter, so no rush for taking the grave photo :)

Re the merge of Elizabeth Read:

I checked the Bucks FHS transcription of the Lower Winchendon PRs I have, & it definitely says christening 3rd November. I agree it's likely to be a mistranscription. I can see how 3 & 8 could be confused. But which transcription is right? I'll make a note to check it next time I visit the Buckinghamshire Archives, but I'm afraid that won't be soon.

P.S. I always like it when someone in my family tree gets linked to others. Thanks.
