Marjorie was my Granmother (Olive)'s youngest sister. Marjorie had a daughter Denise (now Watkins) who we are still in touch with and visited (from Australia) in 2008.She was called Marjorie and her Father was Ernie‘s Dad’s brother .
Happy to help with details of Ernie's father's family if you want.Hi, my siblings and myself have been contacted by the 'heir hunters' as possible relatives of Ernie. We're trying to work out the connection, we think he may have been a cousin of my mothers, but the family appears to be quite disjointed, with my grandmother being one of 11 children spread out as far as Australia. We think Ernie's father must have been one of her siblings. Sadly, my parents have passed away, and we were born quite late in their lives, so we didn't really know our grandparents or the further family. We are trying to find out more now, and have asked the company who got in touch with us for more information on the family tree. They're trying to track down 60+ relatives! It's really interesting to hear more about Ernie.
Why William (brother in law) and not Thomas (spouse of Dorcas)?This is a photo of Dorcas and William Priddey
Ps. I'm not going to benefit from any of Ernie's estate but the mystery of his life has really intrigued me since we started looking for his relative's.
Thank you again.
Hi my Father in law Brian has been contacted to by heir hunters. He didn’t realise he had a relative called Ernie. His mother was Hilda Priddey.Hi, my siblings and myself have been contacted by the 'heir hunters' as possible relatives of Ernie.
