I am researching my Sims-Hilditch family tree. Does anyone remember Edwin Sims Hilditch at Castleigh, Haslington around 1931? And at Harmel House, High Street, Haslington around 1946? Are they on the Frith photos?

Edwin's and Ada's (nee Knott) son Tom Sims Hilditch's name appears on the Haslington war memorial. I believe his boat was torpedoed in 1941 - can anyone tell me more?

Beatrice Walley who was born in Crewe in 1890 and was a pupil of Edwin Sims-Hilditch. She became a soprano and performed locally and in Shropshire. My mother recalled her performing at Hodnet during the First World War. She was a cousin of my grandfather John Ellis Walley, 1877 - 1932.
