Hello, My Aunty has asked for my help to find out any info on her family. The only family she knows is her parents and sister. Her mother was Kathleen Emily Twist b. 26 Dec 1900 she married Henry John Hart b March 1901...Kathleen was once the Mayoress of Newport. Her sisters name was Marion Hart. I would appreciate any help in taking her further in her search for any family members, living or deceased. Thanks. Tania

Sorry, I may have written it out wrong. Kathleen Emily Twist married Henry John Hart, (Twist was the maiden name.) They had 2 daughters Marion and Shelagh Hart. Thanks again Tania.

Thanks for all this info...even though the age of Kathleen doesn't seem to match, I think it is probably the same family. Pete, I see there is an Elizabeth Williams living at the address, could this be a sister of Kathleens mother??? On the census, does it say what the parents jobs were. Thanks very much for all your help. Tania
