Hi Natasha and Sam. There isn't too much to the site, but it could help someone. Hope both of you are able to find something.

Hi Lisa

Just had a better look at it and even though there's no info on definate relatives, there is some info on someone that potentially is.

I think Jim Marble Rhead is the son of Harold Rhead and Betty Marble, but can;t be sure.

If he was their son he was killed in the vietnam war aged 20!

So thanks

Hi Lisa

Thanks for looking.

Harold and the rest of the rhead's were s yes I imagine he would be.

I've tried family search but I couldn't come up with anything sadly!

Edit that, he's on there now! After all that, family search has been updated since I last looked for him

Hi Lisa

Just wanted to say thank you again for finding that info for me and not for the first time either. Thanks to the info you found regarding the move to Utah, I;ve been able to share it with my mum, cousin and a 5th cousin in Utah, so thanks again Lisa
