		Pictured left (July 2005) are Ardith Tureski (nee Tilley) and her husband Peter outside St Mary Magdalene Church. Visiting from Georgetown, Canada, Ardith came looking for information on her Tilley ancestors who lived in the village in the 19^th Century. Thanks to Ann Sturman and Mary Freestone from St Mary Magdalene for opening up the Church so we could look at the parish records and grave register.
		The second picture shows John James Tilley, sent to us by his grandson David Tilley (third picture). Click here to read about Omar Tilley, commemorated on the Cottingham and Middleton war memorial.
