Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	Hi Suzanne Can you tell me more about Denis W Mitchell in Bristol as my friend's father was Denis W Mitchell originally but he was adopted by the Bryants. This could be what she is looking for. Thanks Christine

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	Hi Suzanne Because its not my family I don't have many details. My friend is too mean to join Genes herself! All she has given me is Ellen's parents details that she got from the 1901 census. The father of the twins is unknown although his surname could have been Woodbridge. The boys went on to take the surnames of their (separate) adoptive families. Her father's new surname was Bryant. Don't know the other one's. Does this help at all? Thanks, Christine

	When did all this happen? Names of children please. Any marriages in there anywhere? Suzanne

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	I proudly boasted to my friend, who is looking for her grandmother's family, that I would be able to find the above person on Genes reunited. Unfortunately I have been unable to do so by searching family trees. Ellen gave birth to twin boys who she gave up for adoption. One of them was my friend's father who has since died. She seemed to be living in the Bristol area when she had them. No-one knows where the other boy is but he would be in his 80s now. Can anyone out there help please?
