Cheers, Mountainash.

My G Grandmother Amelia Knight had a younger brother Edward James Knight born 1850. He could be the father of the bride in your down load. Gwyneth Harper could easily be the daughter of the 1907 marriage of Gertrude Knight and Leonard Harper. This is a great start for me.

Cheers, Mountainash.

Many thanks, Mountainash.

Equally I grew up with many "cousins" who my research now tells me should to be family friends :-(

Harpers do not appear on our immediate family tree so have drawn a blank there.

Could you be helpful in telling me the best way to find old friends of my fathers if this forum isn't the way to do it.

Pam Warburton.

Dad and Gwyneth both attended East Dean Grammar School in the 1930's. They were good friends and were also related. They were referred to as cousins but he feels it was most likely 2nd or 3rd cousins. Gwyneth lived in Ruardean.

My father is 85 at living in Australia. I'm hoping to at least be able to tell my father what happened to Gwyneth and if she is still living.
