Trying to find relatives/information about my great grandma Ethel Issott born in 1869, possibly in Leeds. She married Thomas Kemp who was born in 1868 in Leeds, and had my granddad Thomas Ronald Kemp in 1910, after moving to Norwich. Any information would be appreciated.

That's great Lew thanks. I'd got some of that information, but not all of it. Thanks again.

If anybody knows of any living relatives, I'd love to hear from them.
