Find Ancestors

MANY thanks Brenda,

I am trying to get together some intresting info for my elderly aunt - Arthur's niece, who is 86 now and quite 'poorly' - I can now look for a picture of the ship and some info on what it might have been like travelling on there at that time to send to her.

Best wishes,

Hi again,

I have a new 'little tree' growing now - I will keep it seperate until I can find a 'proved' connection but it is looking GGGooood!

Have sent out several mails to possible family members - just awaiting replies.

Thanks all, - especially Jeanette, Lfw, + Brenda.

OOOh - thank you yet again Brenda!!

I just came on for a quick look - grand-daughter here again for the day - we have just made 'fairy cakes' and are waiting for them to cool!

I will explore properly later when she has gone home.

With all this info I MUST be able to make a connection somewhere.

Very many thanks,

I think the marriage would be this one - it didn't show up on search as his name is mistranscribed but it IS in Salford so more likely:

Marriages Mar 1915

Allen Julia A Greenhalgh Salford 8d 150
Greenhaigh Frederick Allen Salford 8d 150

I will follow this one for a while.
