Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 8 Send Message	William George Garavall was my step GGGrandfather he came from Shropshire and married a Francis Ann Reed nee Blacklock in 1863 in Newcastle. I can find only one Garavall from Shropshire on the censuses so it has got to be the same one. I have tried to answer an old mail on another site from a person called Joan who had a request for info on this person but have received no replies. Can anybody help. Any info would be helpful. Richard

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 8 Send Message	Lew Thanks. The Caravell in Shropshire I think is the same person. There are no parents of the same name and therefore I think that the person listed as Katherine Holland is their mother from first marriage.Or maybe I'm just guessing. Richard
