Wondered if I could run some connections past you guys?

This Albert KETTLE...
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... tle-Family

had another son....( this is all from family knowledge)... Alfred Stanley KETTLE born 9 May 1915
In 1947 he married Irene FOLLIS.... Oldbury, Worcs.
He died in 1989 and had 2 children ... Alan and Christine

I have been looking into who Irene FOLLIS was ...
I found a possible birth for an Irene FOLLIS in 1915 West Bromwich ... mother's name HADLEY

and possible parents Walter FOLLIS(1893-1955) and Harriet Fanny HADLEY (1894-1951)
... there are a few trees on 'Ancestry' who have these people ( with some pretty nice photos too!)
possible marriage....for Walter and Harriet...21 Nov 1914

These trees have Harriet's parents as Ephraim HADLEY (1860-1946) and Mary SIVITER (1871-1958)
I wondered if this might be Ephraim?

I will fill inthe families and then tackle your Kettle and Folis connection.

Feel free to use any of the pictures and certificates on my tree on Ancestry (Dodd-Cook).

Thanks Mark,
I did wonder if that was your tree..... as I keep coming across it.

Ephraim and Arthur are actually registered as Taylor though there is no doubt William is their father.

Arthur married Sarah Moretone Taylor who I believe is his 1st cousin....

So we can add this Alfred to bcc I will add him now
