With a faded note in a childish hand of 28 years ago as his link with the dead and a hazel twig his only aid, Mr. Sam Bloor, a Shropshire "dowser," has located an over- grown and long-lost grave in Wrockwardine Wood Churchyard, near Wellington.
The note was written to Santa Claus by six-year-old Ada Elisabeth France, daughter of a local builder, the year before she died. It said:
"Dear Santa: Will you please send me a baby's pram for Christmas?Ada?"
Recently when Mr. and Mrs. John France, Ada's parents, wanted to locate the grave, they applied to Rev. Edward Clift, the present rector, but to their dismay there were no records and the area in which the grave was situated was overgrown.
A family conference suggested that f the grave was one of three, and Mr. France decided to seek the assistance of Mr. Bloor,
ASKED FOR LINK Mr. Bloor asked for some which belonged to the child.
