Hello Gardener,

Thank you for your reply. Not sure if this is the case as I've seen British passenger lists much less than 100 years old. The individual died in the mid 1980's. I'll keep searching.

Hello everyone, Over the past few days I've made an unexpected family discovery through my paternal Smith line. I've done a Google search and it's not given me much at all.

Good morning Jimmy, I apologise for not replying sooner. This latest message relating to Bostock twins, in particular Frank and Henry with mother's maiden name of Wootton really has set me thinking. I must have the incorrect mother as Mason/Biddulph. Back to the drawing board for me then. Could you ...

Hi Jimmy, Someone sent me a message on Family Search saying the mother was Hannah Hills found on the baptism record on FindmyPast. I don't subscribe to FMP and I can't find a baptism on FS. I gathered Hannah and Mary Ann were twins because I found the birth reg on Freebmd. Thank you as always for he...
