    Hi Ray,

    You're right, it sounds unlikely that these specimens are the weeping 'Pendula'. Could you perhaps describe the foliage on them (if there is any still left on or if you saw them before the leaves dropped) to help identify the true variety? i.e. are the leaves long and narrow, or oval? Are they straight or curled? What colour are/were they? What is the underneath like?
    Hopefully these answers will give us clues as to what variety these trees are.

    Look forward to hearing back from you.
    Katy
