Dear Elizabeth,

You clearly used my date of birth on Charles Godwin, with my name to it.

I see the internet failed its top researcher when you came to me for information on the burial of McEvoy and Mars. The internet also failed you on my article on Godwin in Texas. And the only reason its on there, is because I did a swop of information with Mr Lynch. I had gone out of my way Elizabeth to locate McEvoy for you. I made many phone calls to London, and even paid the local library where he died to trace him for you, but I never gave up. I have now. That's the second time you haven't been straight with me. The first was when you claimed you didn't get my first Email, but then went on to give me back my information in the second.

The internet Elizabeth, doesn't have the date of death for Edward Dean Burrell or Thomas Potter, to name two of the Alabama men now on Terry's site. So I repeat my question, how did somebody in the States, namely Marvel, find this out? He only stayed a few days with me, before moving on to London and Cherbourg. How did this man find the date of death of these two men, out of the whole U.K.? Terry finds fault with the articles I've written on the men, yet he's quite prepared to use the details of their death on his site. Of all the Thomas Potter's in the U.K. and Ireland, and all the Burrell's in the whole world, why does he choose the two men I gave to Marvel? Burrell's obituary says nothing about the Alabama.

How did Chris old locate the grave of Horwood in St James Cemetery, when there were three men in Liverpool. One is buried on the Wirral, one in St James, and one died at sea. The latter two served in the Royal Navy, but all three went to their graves with no mention of the Alabama? The same man claims credit for Caren. But what he doesn't know, which is what I turned up at the time and never published, is that Caren's daughter stated on her marriage lines that her father was dead well before 1914. I had to explain this error to his relative in Utah some years ago. The man who died in 1914 was a porter, and the other John Caren in Liverpool was a watchmaker. I find it hard to believe Marvel and Old had to chose between these two men. Let's finally look towards Brewer. Said to have died in 1886, but his headstone clearly states otherwise.

I'm sure you are a nice and respected lady, but the internet Elizabeth is clearly not all of your sources. Terry if I didn't give Marvel or Old this information, then I've certainly discredited theirs. Or have I?
