Hi Sue,

I have just seen your post regarding descendants of Tom Trafford.

My maternal grandmother was Annie Trafford, whose parents were Levi and Eliza.
I think she was most probably your relatives sister.
Annie married Ernest Albert Edwards in 1909,in Cinderford, sadly Ernest died quite young from TB, as far as i remember my mother saying.
Annie then remarried to to my mothers father whose name was Roper ( not too sure of the christian name my sister thinks it's John ).
He also died quite young from TB.
Annie then remarried for a third time to a Mr Mills ( C Name ? ), who again died early, i think she gave up on men then as being unreliable.:-)
Annie died in 1946 at the age of 61.

My mothers name was Nellie Rosina Anne Raggett ( formely Roper ), who passed away in 2006, coincidentally just after we landed in Sydney, which resulted in a mad dash back to the UK.

That's as far as i have got so far, if you want any more info. sending i will be pleased to do so as and when i find it.
Likewise i would be pleased to hear your story.
I have retired now and have just got interested in the family history, but it seems to turn up more questions than answers.

I will explain a bit more should you be interested.

Best Regards

Dave Raggett
