]I have just come across a very old post dated November 30th 1999 from Donald J Boyle Brantford, ON Canada.
The post is asking about the family of Jessie Cooke of 15, Bream Rd, Lydney and talks about a letter written by Jessie.I am the Great grandaughter of Jessie Cook and have just started to research our family history. If the writer of this post reads this will you please contact me as I would love to see a copy of the letter.
Thanks,
Dillydream
