Thanks once again all you helpers.The 1901 Census showing the family named Teasdale is very interesting as Martin and Catherine Brabban were my fathers Aunt and Uncle,I think.I will try to sort it all out later.
Thank you,Terry L.

Think this is Ann in 1939? She is with Martin and Catherine Brabban who are also named on the 1901. The other people are not on the image so don't know why they are there.

Thanks to all.Quite tempted to believe the USA connection.I think there was a reference to that on Ancestry.Always a bit wary of some of the stuff on Ancestry.
Never mind,will continue to look.
Thanks again to all,Terry L.
