Re: Kezia Johnson Hi Suzanne, Thank you for the tip to look under Smith - that's her - and she said they'd been married 19 years - I suppose its possible as Henry her first husband died in 1887 an d they lived together for a long time before marrying. Anyway thank you, Sheri

Hi Suzanne, David and Paul, Thank you so much for that useful information - I feel as if I am near to solving the mystery of what happened to Gt. Uncle Len that has bugged me for years. My grandmother only kept 2 letters both from her brothers 1 I know died in WW1 and it seems as if Len died...

Thank you Jukebox - Gt.Uncle Len was in the Imperial Yeomanry in 1902. And Pomgolian - I have that information - I know about up to 1902 - so it does seem likely it's him so thank you. Your help is appreciated as I've been looking for him for a very long time and he has been elusive. Sheri

Hi Formula t, thank you for your message. I thin k some of the Taylor family would have been still in Watery Lane in the 50's but I don't know any names of people then - as I think I said my mother lost touch with her family after her mother died. It would be interesting to know what your...
