Thanks for the reply, just goes to show you never know who you'll meet when you enter a forum.

Come to this family history over the last weekend having realised that I really now very little about my family history and where we really came from, and wishing I'd spoken more about it to my Gran when i was a kid.

If Heather is your mother then assuming your grandfather is Teddy and grandmother Olwen then your mother is my cousin; who I've not seen since she was a little girl and for that matter I was a slip of a lad and still living at home.

My mother Anne is/was Teddy's sister and the last time I saw Teddy and Olwen was on the sea front in Weston.

As for the family tree I recently had a surprise phone call from Evelyn (Teddys sister) and from what I understand from Evelyn she has taken the family back to 1500's!!

Assuming we are related any chance of sharing the info. please.

Mike

Many thanks for the information. This certainly gives me a lot to look at.

Mike
