Subject: PACE web site reply

From: "Andrew Dale"

Happened across your pages by chance after searching on my town of origin - Kidsgrove, in Staffordshire. I was amazed at the content. A number of the names on http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/uk/kidsgrove.htm were known to my father, who is now 83, and I myself remember Pace's garage at Talke crossroads, as well as Arthur Pace's garage at Arclid, near Sandbach. Both garages still exist. Edith Pace, widow of the Talke garage owner, lives a few doors away from my parents, in Clough Hall Road, Kidsgrove.

My grandmother's maiden name was (should have been?) Condliffe, as I discovered recently, although she was known until her marriage as Mary Wright. They called their first child Reginald Thomas, my uncle, who died about 8 years ago.

Amazingly, my sister lives in Ranton, Staffordshire, a tiny village (viz. Cotterell, a fairly common name in Staffs.)

I'm afraid the website structure is a little complex to understand at a glance, but I will work on it.
