Duplicate posting - loads of info on the other one

Susan

One posting per request is the rule on GR - avoids different people doing the same lookups......................

Hi Susan

I've received your message and replied. You can see the message by clicking on the 'Messages' tab at the top of the screen.

The info in my post is only the summary. The actual image has far more and may be of interest to you.

In case Andrew does not come back to this thread, i will advise you.

A PM is a personal Message which you send by clicking on his name, now i know you have done this as you sent me one.

When Andrew asks "If you would like a copy please PM your email addy."

He means for you to send him your email address so he can send the image to you , which you do by sending this info by the personal message system.

Hope this is OK if you require more help just ask again

Hello Andrew

I am new to this site and posting messages. I don't know if you received the other message I received or not. Thank you very much for this information I much appreciate your efforts. This is just what I am looking for. I remember years ago an advert being in a local paper requesting information on my father but he didn't respond, it was from someone in Canada. Sorry I don't understand what PM means or addy. But I would very much appreciate the actual image you found this information on.

Thank you once again.

Susan

I am trying to find out information on the above person. He was a twin of Maud Williamson and I believe emigrated to Canada. Living family members I am in touch know of nothing of him. Can anyone help.

Thank you

Susan
